residence in this city but it seems that she wa unable to decide upon a house Her daughter Mrs Sartoris better known as Nellie Grant is however living hero in a cosy little house and is taking an activo part in social matters At ono timo it was proposed to present Mrs Grant with a home in this city as was done in tho caso of Mrs Sheridau Mrs Hancock mid Mrs Llgan The willows of thcto distinguished men havo received substantial tokens of tho regard in which their husbauds were held Iu addition they enj ly a god deal nl social attention In fact the inlhienci of woman at tho natious

masters of tho art of entertaining Thoy do it so easily and 6o gracefully aud with such a truo spirit of hospitality that tho magnificencq of it all is not tho only feature which thoso precont

orgauizatious of various kind they devote a good deal of attention to charity aud to church work Some of them writo books aud others prcparo papers on a variety of topics which are read at public gatherings In nil departments tho inlluence of woman is felt and sho is given ample opportunity in Washington to develop her gifts aud to use them io tho best advantage Thcro need bo no com plaint about the lack of opportunity for career of most nny sort for a woman who lives in Washington Perhaps that is ono reason hy they seek a residence here in large and increas ing numbers The details of tho lives of widows of wealthy men are always noted with interest and the tendency on tho part of this class to locato iu Washington has been pointed out There nro manv other women who are not conspicuous ou account of wealth but whoso ambition compels them to seek wider fields who find their way to Washington Ono meets them in society in meetings of all forts and in various movements which they intended to benefit the world while many feminine pens are bueily employed iu producing vnluablo contributions in all departments ot literature The ladies of the Diplomatic circle form a charmiug if uot an influential clement in society circles Their importance socially is uot as great as was the case iu the earlier years of the city when wealth was not so general and social life was simpler In thote days tho wives of the foreign mitmtera had probably more money to spend thau tho average American woman and besides had tho advantage of bo maimer which familiarity with the society of Furopo giyos In these days the American woman has money to speud and in addition travel has made her an adept in social customs The foreigu women mako charmiug host esse and their entertainments aro always events of social prominence but tho same may be said of mauy American women aud the homer over which they preside The wife of the British minister has a famicy of daughters which sho is bringing up in the English fashion They wear street cos tumes which the avcrago American girl would look upon as rather dowdy for a promenade ou the fashionable avenue of the city However the bwin of ngiod walker and evidently enjoy good health Some of tlio min isters from the South American He public havo families but a a rule tho households of the foreign legations are rather limited in numbers The present Chinese minister has his wife with him and they havo a family of several small children His predecessor also brought hss wife to this country and during their residence hero a baby was born The present lady of the Chinese legation has adopted a rather startling innovation as she makes aud receives calls and also accepts invitations PUUXACI0US SHELHY Ho Brutally Assaults Plucky Kentucky
