NKW YoitK , March 28. [ 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. So wo no-2d not be

in the issue of General Grant's memoirs
will bo able and willing to outbid thoii
rivals. 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.

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

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

that no thriving1 stores for female trade
exist thero. 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

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 ,

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.

She has jiibt prcriejnted one qf her India

"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. "

Poor old Mrs. Barrett read away day

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.
