My Deau Louise : Social events here Lave reached the fow-aud-far-betwecn period. What is left of society is giving itself to bc novolont work in the shape of strawberry festivals, pound parties, etc., for tho benefit of tho young of tho human raco left to tho proverbially "cold charity" of tho world. The only excitement wo cau anticipate Is the Juno wedding season, when several ceremonious ceremonies are on, tho cards. As the most im portant preparation for tho summer flitting', tho girls aro getting up stunning wardrobes, groat In variety as well as number. Tho lat ter point is essential, for many fresh changes in summer gowns aro dc rigucur. In tho way of f rcshnesB, Is there anything moro difficult to keep presentable than tho pretty suedo shoes now so fashionable? But 1 can impart to you a valuablo wrinkle in this matter, and you will always have your pretty little foot-coverings as dainty and fresh as possible. Use gasoline nothing Is 60 effect ive for cleansing suede and nothing Is cheaper. About 5 cents' worth will cleanse two or three pairs. This is tho rule: "Pour a littlo only at a time in a saucer (It evaporates quickly) and dip a cloth therein. With this cloth rub tho soiled surface gently and every trace of dirt will disappear. Gasoline is ex cellent for removing tho shiny look from well worn black silk. There is no objcctionablo smell nor tho slightest danger of injury to the most delicate shades of suede. Tho Wanamakers have sailed away and the announcement was made, as If by request, that London would not sco tho 1'ostmaster General's wife and daughters, that they would spend their time abroad at Carlsbad and Paris. I don't; see why MIbs Mlnnlo shouldn't have a chanco to go uto London and see tho Queen" and enjoy the entree to the American circle settled there for the London season. Her papa's money was and is being piled up in the samo trade In which Mr. Leiter amassed his, and Mrs. and the Misses Letter have, from all accounts, "auite a fling" in London. Of tho New York Pour Hundred Mr. and. Mrs. William Waldorf Astor aro tho distin guished representatives. They live in his toric Lansdowne House, Berkeley Square, for which Mr. Astor pays a rental of :J5,000 a year. The Postmaster at Newport will find things greatly simplified this season, and his letter-carriers and himself have much to bo thankful for. Mrs. W. W. Astor Is reigning over a house with a history dating back to the days of George III. It was once the home of Lady Sarah Jersey, and there she held her court with her three beautiful daughters, the youngest of whom 16 said to have been the very last bride over married at Gretna Green. If tho shades of aristocratic Lady Jersey and her daughters over wander through the his toric mansion they must see that the world moves, when tho descendants of the butcher of Waldorf hold almost recal court in the grand old house ! In a magazine article on "Tho Bowery and Its Story"" I found the following: "Henry Ashdore, or Ashdoor, as his name was sometimes written, nau come to New York as a HesBlan soldier under tho British flag, and when his term expired had begun business in a small way as a butcher, having learned his trade in bis father's shop at Waldorf. His younger brothers camo.there after tho War of the Revolution, and the world knew him before long as New York's most adventurous and thriving muu of busl nes, founder of Astoria, and patron of Wash ington Irving the first John Jacob Astor. In an humble way, Henry Astor, too, achieved success. He had his residence on the Bowery, where he lived quietly witl his rosy cheeked wife Dolly, of whom he1 was accus tomed to say: 'My Dolly Is do pink of do Powery.' They had no children, and at his death his property on tho Bowery, theu esti mated at half a million dollars In value, was bequeathed to his nephew, William B. Astor." It is said that Mrs. William Waldorf Astor. who was a Miss Paul, of Philadelphia, will henceforth reside abroad permanently, as she I intends to make princes and princesses of her children. Mrs. Leiter, on tho contrary, ap parently has not .the same "vaulting ambi tion," for it is understood that Mr. -Leiter has renewed tho lease of the Blalncmanslon for two vears, at the expiration of which period his own palatial residence on Dupont Circle will have been completed. Tho foundation has been commenced. The mansion will be a classic edifice in white marble and "white' terra cotta. Tho Washington Club, for which a lone and brilliant existence is predicted by its mem bers, is thus described by ruthless Town Topics: "Tho Washington Club Is managed, as everything else in Washington, by a ring, and Is a strange omnium gatherum of blue bloods and parvenus, the former being in an attenuated minority, and only admitted or tolerated because of their ability to pay their fees and entertain. The mako-up Is al most as striped as Wlmodaughsls; but,' so far, no colored women have made application for membership." This, no doubt, will make the members of tho club smile. Mrs. McKco and Mrs. Russell Harrison will soon sail away for their summer triumphs in Europe. Mrs. narrlson and . tho McKee children will go to Cape May about the middle of June, and old Dr. Scott is going in the direction of tho setting sun, to remain in the far West all summer so tho Jersey mosqui toes will not have a chanco at him. Mrs. Dimmlck will probably bo taken along to Capo May. It is yet a matter of conjecture as to tho mountaiu resort at which the President's family will wind up the season. The Presi dent, it is said, has "put down his foot" on Cresson. which did not please him last sum mer. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Boyd were the guests of honor Friday evening at a White House dinner, when. Mrs. Harrison brought around the festive board the members of tho Presidential party on tho recent triumphal trip to California, the glories and delights of which aro a never-ending theme with the President's family. By next Decoration Day the Washington and Arlington Railway Company will carry hoets of visitors to the gates of the cemetery. The work on this road is to bo pushed for ward rapidly, and thus beautiful Arlington, which is a Mecca to us in this part of the couutry, will bo within easy aud comfortable reach. And we may hope in the near future the same good things for pilgrims to tho coun try's Meceu, Mount Vernon. Ever yours, Atjce. Shoes Otlcl and End Sale.
