This is what comes of a voung lady correspondent bing invited to it: Oh, dear! if I were a man, I should have gone distracted amid so much beauty! Most of the dresses were white, or a blending of while with the delicate shades now in vougue. White i shoulders; dimpled and satiny; arms! Canova would hve coveted for models; mod-els; graceful hendi, coquettishlv poised, and forms whose perfect line's the closely fitting costumes of the day revealed so clearly. One beautiful toilette had basque and over-skirt ot white satin. The under-dress was of some dianhauous texture whose outls and flounces looked like to am wreaths.

And this is what the cynic of the Evening Post says, not being invited: Put money in thy puraej honestly if thou canst, dishonestly if thou must; but money, money, then thou canst ait at the feasts of the mighty in Washington. Sixty miles of decaying wooden pavement whose rapid decomposition de-composition is thought to be injurious to health; thirty eleeant houses and a palace for himself, besides immense blocks of buildings, attest the herculean her-culean grasp of Boss Shepherd. |
