[ Correspond ence of the BEE. ] Shall we have a trip- Iqtpf president's wives in Washington iioxt summer ? Mrs. Francis Cleveland will bo there of courho , except when hot weather drives her away. The second of will bo queon-by-courtosy a republic Madame Diaz , of Mexico , who is to start on a tour of this country in May , coming loisurly acroM ; the continent from San Francisco , to arrive in Now York in July. She will spend some time in Saratoga , Newport and Long Branch , and it is fair to presume that she will go to Washington to pay her respects to Mrs. Cleveland. The third member of the trio is Madame Cnrnot , wife of the present president of the French repub lic. With her lies the only uncertainty as to the interesting meeting. I road in the Paris Figaro that she contem plates an ocean voyngo in some direc tion or other next summer , and that her inclination is to cross the At lantic , but South America appear : to bo in her mind , Ilowovor , it would BOOUI strange to g-lvo thatcomparativoli uninteresting continent preference ovoi our own , and if she sails westward , at she is qualillcdly announced to do ur.rlj in the biimmor , may wo not count confi dently on her meeting Mrs. Clovolant li nnd Madame Diaz in Wiibhington ? Ii tjuit cnso somebody might got up a per sonally directed tour for the various South American presidontesscs , so tluv wo could assemble n wondrous party o : these peculiarly distinguished ladies The only competitor with our own Mrs Clovolund for prominence in such : gathering would bo Mndamo Cnrnot She is the soul of gracious dignity brilliant in conversation , and a mugnill' cent drossnr and a handsome woman : but Mrs. Clovohind would have the nd < vantage of youthfulness and a grcatci degree of beauty.

Nevertheless when Ulysses S , Grant , jr. , went into the Cosmopolitan Magazine as vice president and stock' holder , it was thought in literary cir cles that Mrs. Grant would help him bj putting her reminiscences into thai periodical. Colonel Grant denies btreiv uously that his brother is being backet in any other way than by a loan o ! money from his mother , and the author' izofl assertion is that , although share ; of the stock stand in young Ulysses name , ho is trustee for her. That is t legal technicality to protect him ns i bankrupt from the Grant & Ward fail uro. My careful prediction is that Mrs Grant will publish something withii the year. The gentleman upon whoso wife ' . called , yesterday afternoon , would bi displeased by the printing of his naim hero , although it is bo famous that I an tempted to give it , and there was noth ing wicked , after all , in the thing I an going to describe. Ilo is a dignitiei man of fit ) , and on a , dead level will Cresar's wife , above reproach. Beside : hib wife is a highly respected matron who loves him devotedly , and she wai present all the timo. Ho was seatec comfortably in an easy chair lazily read ing a newspaper which he hold in on < hand , while the other hand was in tin posscs son of u notably pretty girl o liO. She had come by appointment am was giving to his hands a dollar's wortl of treatment. In short , she was one o the numerous professional manicures who make calls on rich and luxurioui men and women to improve the appear ancoofthoirhnnds. AlHuenthidiesliuvi for years employed these deft and skill ful naiU'lippers , polishers and hang-nail oradicutors. Of late men have takei the idea , too , but it isn't customary foi thubtaloold fellows logo to the manicun olllccs. The usage is for ho and his \vif < to engage the mauicuro to come to thoii hoiifco once n week. So it is all righi and proper ; and yqt you can't mnko im believe that the 'male customers nri really solicitous about the bcaulilicatioi of their hands , for that could not be tie coniplishod , anynnw , or that elderly 01 buraggy manicures would bo able to go : work from thorn.

They will be shown in our cloak department Monday. her fair young members was so striking that I couldn't help wondering how much slio disliked the work and how much ho liked it. Whatever mny have been the relative sacrifice and enjoy ment in the proceeding , neither let it be seen , for his dignity was never let down n binglepeg. and her gentle un consciousness was unbroken. But bhe hud the prettiest possible ways ; her manipulation of his hands was graceful , and it ihii't probable nt all that she was ignorant of the fact that she was very charming. After Lent will come a renewal of fashionable gnyety , of course , and the few diversions permitted in swell society - ety during that period of penitence will bo ut once displaced by other and live lier amusements. One of these will bo fencing by ladies. Many an article has been written describing feminine in dulgences in this pastime , but the fenc ers in lhcs > e cases have usually been actresses becking notoriety. Hut u gen uine ladies'annex to Iho fencers' club has actually been formed , and among its members are such acknowledged so ciety belles as .ludgoLawrence's daugh ter Ruth , the Plielpa-Dodge families beauty , Sarah Phulps Stokes , the bril liant Airs. Edward Mitchell , and a do/.en others whoso names , although strange to you are recognizable hero in Now York as belonging to highly approved people. They are to begin oxercibo in earnest next week. They promise to dose so at least , but whether their parries and thrusts amounts to anything re mains to bo been. 1 have only been a little - tlo of their practice thus far , and I must confess that it had a strike-you- with-a-foather aspect. The girls took the prescribed poses very gracefully , in their .IKIlbKY IIOWC'KS AXI ) SHOUT KKIUTS , but when it ennio to the use of the foils , there was more of the kind of dodging that women do when a mouse is around than of deliberate swordsmanship. Wire-masks protected their faces , as usual ill fencing , foils had sufo buttons on their ends , and the stabbing was done ut thick pads fastcucd over the breasts of the combatants ; and yet all these safeguards against accident did not bcem to give usburanco and feminine timidity characterised the exercise all the time. A reception and exhibition is to bo given tit the middle of April , and possible some of the girls may by that limo brace themselves up to a som- bianco of courngo. At nil events they are bound to bo graceful exhibits. It hns boon often enough printed that foolish women in Now York mlulato jiretty m-tors in the open streets. That is only true in a very limited boiibo , A fuw silly girls associate , in their feeble little minds , the heroes of the stage with the iinixvsnimtoi'ri of them ; but nlnotoon in twenty women who go to the thenten. nro utterly unaffected by any sui'h HOIIMMIS-O. Proof of the baso- Irpsupbd of IK- common charge is easy to give. Brouhsafrom Twenty-eighth to Thirty-third btreot contains six theaters i-rounn the doors of which , and lounging in and out of the doors of nd- jucpnt ti'iloon s , are hundreds of actors. Ui.ion Square , further down Broadway , is the rlnlto oj actors , but the pretty fellows of the profession , dress like dandies and pose as mashers , frequent the live blocljs previously mentioned. And now , it ie : v positive fact , dem onstrated by an hour of observa tion any pleasant afternoon , that the ladies of Now York avoid that par ticular section of the great thorough- Juro. They crowd Broadway nnd Sixth avenue further down , for that is the re- toil shopping district , but up there ino theaters they are t > o scarce Jackets and Wraps. On Monday we w.ll make a special sale of wraps a nd jackets. These goods are all new and bought this season and at the prices quoted are the best values ever offered by us.

The women who iiromon- ado past the actor dandies are often of a showy but rarely of a fashionably ap proved class. The truth is that the pro fessional male beauty of the htujjo ( lees not recommend himself to u bon&ihle woman's commendation , an < l bhe tlib- likcs to subject herself to his oyliiifj stare , or to the faintest imputation that she would bestow a frlance on him. The tjirl who chabos the actor , like the fel low who chases the actress , is neither a common nor ( in admirable person hero in Now York. One of the most rigidly observed cus toms of her nufju&V majesty , Queen Vic toria , is the presentation of the India shawls on all possible and some unsuita ble occasions. Victoria inu , t have a special factory for their manufacture , and bho receives supplies of them just as any mercantile importer might do. Women who perform meritorious acts deserving royal recognition are as as sured of getting- old Alharabad shawls us they are of drawing their breath. Nobody makes more fun of the old lady than Albert Kdward , prince of Wales , and one of his jokes , taking in the shawl , was told to mo by Ellen Terry , the ne- trebs of the Irving company , just before her departure for London. Mho said that on a steam launch at the Henley regatta , a jolly party of theatrical people ple wore gathered , when without an nouncement'tho prineo and one of his favorite colonels came aboard. "From an obscure corner , " baid Miss Tarry , "the other crafts on tlio river were clobely f-cannod. It is quite the thing for every British woman past fifty to got hoj'solf up like the queen , especially those who resemble her at all put on the widow's cap , carry their Hands crossed over their stomachs , af fect a savage condition of features and increase the lik nass. to their revered sovereign , On n hunieh belonging to Tilford was a big , heavy woman , who really bore a roinnrkable resemblance to her majesty n likensss she lioight- oned plainly by every means possible. We called the Prince's attention to this old girl , and assured him that it was his mother out after him no doubt. Ho was gazing at her through the glass , nnd laughing heartily , when the lady ro o clumsily , and threw a shawl , on which she had been sitting , over the shoulders of u yoUng girl. "Hho has discovered herself" bhontcd Wales , "It is undoubtedly the queen. She has jiibt prcriejnted one qf her India shawls. i "I think the laugh that followed showed the prince that the Americans , who wore the majority of the part\ , wore as well acquainted with his moth er's customs as her own subjects. " Another actress of the Irving com pany Biiid : "Silt JIOnUUMMACKKNJH i&n big , homely Scotchmannnd the last time I saw him ho was studying the pic tures of the llret day of Iho Uojal acad emy opening. I felt u little "surprised that it was not embroidered all over with palm leaves in the proper India fashion , for 1 felt sure ho ought to bo wearing the queen's given article , ] 3ut I learned from the letter of a friend at homo that the shawl 1ms reached the family. Her majesty last month re warded the doctor's attentions to her son-in-law by giving Mrs. Morroll Mac kenzie an India ha vl. I hope it is a prettier ono than usual , for as a lot the qucon'a shawls nro desperately ugly.

Such platitudes would never have been printed bave for the autrust persomihty of the authoress. Poor old Mrs. Barrett read away day after day until the deeply interested queen had heard the whole book for probably the twentieth timo. One day Mrs. Barrett cj'.mo home completely ex- haiihted , She had been slriiulingbesido a tall rending desk , still ns a pokur , backing around in the presence like a balky horse ( No one ever shows the small of their back to her majesty ) for fully four hours. It had seemed as though Victoria would never get enough diary. During the actress' nb- bonee u bulky box had been brought by a special ine'bbougcr in the livery of the queen. The teller of this anecdote was present and had been in London long onoug to call the turn. "It's a bhnwl to a certainty , " ho avored , and bo it was about us gloomy and peculiar an old shawl as was overseen soon , Mrs. Barrett was developing the mania that afterward became iiibanity and made her an inmate of a lunatic asylum. She contemplated Iho thing a moment nnd baid : "It is a dreadful re sult. I shall never wear it ; but it would drape a catafalciuo with pretty olTect ; I'll keep it for that. " Poor Mrs. Wilson Barrutt ! She has just escaped from life's troubles and Victoria's bhawl. " 1 shall always think that its possession helped to unsettle her mind , "said the ac.tor , "for it was the crn/ie t bit of cashmere in the whole royal shop , " CJ\UA HOXI3Y KOUTMI2 Ij.MHKS.
