Society in Washington is very attractive. Everybody in society there
is in politics or is an official. It is the one city of consequence in
the United States that has no commercial interests. In Washington they
think and talk politics, literature, and art. Men come to Washington
from all parts of the country and all corners of the earth. There is
a large section of naval and military, literary, and scientific men.
Society is cosmopolitan rather than local. It is not narrow in any
way, and over all there hangs the charm of the White House and its
inmates.--+"WOMAN'S LIFE."+
