Another , a night scene , in which Washing ton , with bowed head , was seen sitting In the door of his tent , his night lamp , only , lighting up the surrounding gloom. Another particularly pretty act was that of Wash ington receiving the sword of Cornwallls : little Denise Barkalow , with a dignity and grace beyond his years , well represented the red-coated English general , as on bended It nee and with bowed head ho presented his sword to Washington.

Every In teresting Incident in their lives from date of birth to the hour they wore bidden to Luke- wood , have become public property. Dut what of the women who , as their wives , are to figure almost as prominently in national society. Three of them , Mrs. Daniel S. Lament - mont , Mrs. Walter Q. Orcshatrt and Mrs. Adlal Stevenson , have been factors In Wash ington society. To the others the experience will bo now , I ) they possess the tact and grace which will enable them to fulllll their social duties. Mm. ItlKftpll. Mrs. Wilson S. Bisscll , wife of Mr. Clove- land's old friend , law partner , and i > ost- niaster general of the Incoming administra tion , was Ixniiso Fowler Sturges , the daugh ter of Edward Sturges of Geneva , N. Y. , the granddaughter of Eben I' . Sturges of Mansfield. O. . and on the maternal side of Philemon H. Fo wlorof Utlca. She was born In Utlca In ISGiJ and Is consequently now In her 27th year. Her parents were not wealthy , but they wore able and willing to give their daughter more than the ordinary educational advantages , and the facilities afforded by residence in Utlca were supplemented by study and travel In England and on the con tinent. Early in life she developed a great talent for music. She studied three years under Stockhausen In Frankfort , and finished with Mine. La Grange in Paris. When she re turned with her musical education perfected It was expected , naturally enough , that she would put her talents to practical use and adopt the concert stage as a means of reachIng - Ing distinction. Hut instead of this she married Wilson S. Bisscll , whom she met in Uuffalo while visiting frlemls there. The wedding took place February 0 , 1800 , a little more than three years ago , at Geneva , N. Y. Mr. Bisscll took his bride back to Buffalo and established her in an elegant homo on Delaware avenue. Mrs. Blsscl had all the charms and graces that are so admired In social circles and It was not surprising therefore that she took the position to which her husband introduced her iind maintained it. Mrs. Bissell , as Washigtou society will see her , Is a woman of considerably above the average height , of a full , commanding figure. She Is line looking rather than beautiful. Perhaps handsome would bo nearer the adjective. Her typo is the brunette. The striking features of her face are her color and the animation and vivacity that light up the countenance. She is young enough to appreciate and enjoy the pleasures of life and she has the high spirits that go so well with youth and health. "Mrs. I.iiinunt. . Mrs. Lament has both experience and tact enough to make her friends predict for her an enviable position In the social life of the new administration. She hasn't the youth and beauty of Mrs. Cleveland , nor the wealth and social ambition which made Mrs. Whit ncy a queen in Washington ofllcial circles. But she is a very attractive woman , with a grace and courtesy which will give her popu larity whether she wants it or not. Mrs. Lament is tall , with a good figure and a well sot head. Her dark hair is thickly sprinkled with gray : she has pleasant , brown eyes , an extremely sensitive mouth , and a charming voice. Her face is not beautiful. It Is much less a "pretty" face. But It is much more than good looking , ana , tuiccn with her man ner and voice , it has a real attractiveness. Her voice is decidedly un-American. It is soft , with that natural softness which does not forget itself. In manner Mrs. Lament is unaffected , but at the same time thoroughly solfposscssed. Her movements ore quiet , like her voice. She hasn't any great amount of magnetism , perhaps , but she has repose. She prefers to listen to others rather than to talk herself , so that , while it may bo that Mrs. Lament has not the characteristics necessary for conquering society , she has those traits which' will win it. Mrs. Lament was born near Cortlund , N. Y. , and despite the evidence of her gray hairs , that , event occurred only about i5 ! years ago She was a farmer's daughter , but attended school in an adjoining town and afterwauls went to Elmira college. When she was about 1J ! years old her parents moved to AlcGraw- vllio , a small town near Cortland , and it was hero that she met Dan Lament , then n young college fellow , who came homo to AIcGraw- vilio to spend his vacations. Most of the courtship of the young couple was carried on during their college days. They were married soon after this , in June , 1870 , and went to Albany to live. There their two oldest children , Bessie , 11 years old. and Julia , U years old , were born ; and there they lived until Mr. Lament was made Mr. Cleveland's private secretary in 1884. The next four years were spent in Washing ton , where their third child was born and named by Mrs , Cleveland herself , Frances Cleveland Lamont. Mrt * . Iloko Smith , It was ten years ago that Mr. Iloko Smith led to the altar Miss Bertie Cobb of Athens , Ga. , the youngest daugutcrjof Thomas H. Cobb. She and her husband had been en gaged about live years when they were maiv ried , this long betrothal being caused by Miss Cobb's reluctance to leave her invalid At the time of their marriage Mr. Smith had tramped over all the hardships and dis couragements that must coino to penniless voung barristers , and had made a fortune. Ho was only 28 years old ut this time , and when ho took his bride to Atlanta from her colonial homo in Athens ho made her the mistress of a mansion whoso building they had planned during their engagement. This house , with its wide piazza , its thirteen spacious rooms , and its beautiful conserva tory , is situated on a lofty eminence and sur rounded by n wide terraced lawn , dotted with trees and shrubbery , which were planted during their honeymoon by the young couple. Mrs. Smith is n youthful and attractive woman , with a pink and white complexion , and a face whoso sweet and happy expression betokens a nature full of comfort in all the blessings of n happy domestic existence. She Is not only a good wife and mdthor. but she has a big heart and a generous hand for all . he unfortunates who appeal to her , and she and her husband do a great deal of charity in u modest way. way.Mr Mr . StovciiHoiii Mrs. Adlal Stevenson , though compara tively a stranger to Washington society , is by no means wholly unknown. During her former rosldcnco in the city , when she lived In 1C street , near Fourteenth street , she lived quietly as regards the great world of fashionable society , but gathered about her a circle of very warm personal friends to whom her return is a matter of rejoicing. The fact that her health was not very good at that time , anil that her family of young children demanded much of her time , com bined with her natural Inclination for a do mestic life , was the cause of her living In comparative seclusion when last In Washing ton. The coming four years , however , are likely to sou a marked change in this re spect. Two of the young daughters are now grown , and the third is a bright student ut college. ' Mm. ( Ircalinin. ' Mrs. Groshnm is another of the cabinet ladies who Is well remembered in Washing ton. During the Arthur administration , when Judge Gresham was postmaster gen eral , they lived in the house adjoining the Mexican legation , In which for a number of years Secretary and Mrs. John W. Foster have made their homo , after extensive alterations and additions to the structure. After leaving Washington to live in Chicago theli1 daughter Kate was married to Mr. Andrews , with whom she now resides in Evanston , 111. Mr. Otto Gresham , as his father's law partner , will bo one of the most iwpulur young bachelors In Washington. Mrs. Grciham bus neither the health nor the Inclination fora very gay life , but enter tains her friends in a julot way that Is , after all , far more satisfactory to these Included within her Invltutlons.

Should the now secretary of the navy de cide to glvo upTlns present quarters at the Richmond and go to housekeeping , his homo will bo presided over by his young daughter , who needs neither Introduction nor encom ium to Washington society. Ever since her mother's death , about four or live years ago , Miss Herbert and her father have been al most Inseparable. She has acted as his pri vate secretary , and , notwithstanding her rather delicate appearance , has managed successfully to discharge her duties In tills direction while keeping up her social duties , which have been by no moans light , as she is n general favorite , and invitations to the gay events of the season are showered upon her. Educated abroad , she is a line linguist , speaking both French and Spanish with the same facility she does the English language. Miss Herbert's only sister , several years her Junior , married over a year ago , but will probably come to Washington next season to assist in the discharge of the exacting social duties that will devolve upon Miss Herbert Mrs. Oliuiy. Mrs. Olnoy , the wife of the now attorney general , comes of n distinguished Massa chusetts family. She was the daughter of Judge B. Thomas , an eminent Jurist of the Massachusetts Buprcmu4 > ench.
