They consist of a parlor, dining-room, two bed- rooms, an office for the Secretary, and rooms for the maids located elsewhere in the house. With the exception of pictures on the walls, the furaiture is all of the usual conventional hotel pattern, fresh and suited to the tastes of cultured people. Mrs, Blaine is a collector of rare engravings and portraits, some of which hang on the walls. The dining or breskfast- room is dainty and light, overlooking the open square.

THE SEWARD MANSION. ‘That old house with a history—better known @ the “Seward mansion”—situated on the east Side of Lafayette square or Jackson place, is rapidly being put in repair for the occupancy of the Secretary of State. It is a roomy old dwelling. of no particular style of architecture, with many wide windows front and back. It sets Jow on the sidewalk, with a wide hall through thd center, divided into front and back by an arch resting on two slender doric columns on either hend. To the right is a drawing or reception . back of which isa lavatory and its ac- companying conveniences, with a good-sized room in the rear. On the leftside is another room, 2 reception room or library, with a but- ler’s pantry dividing it from the dining-room beyond. The kitchen is large. and a new range and other fixtures are being put into position. Beyond that is a good-sized laundry with every eonvenience, and still beyond are sheds and a stable. A narrow gallery with a colonnade runs along this back building or “L,” and Opens out open a square back yard where there isa voble and venerable beech tree of great height. The house has three stories, with an attic under the eaves lighted by domor windows looking east. and west. Room for water tank, closets and the housewife’s delight—a goodly number of “cubby holes” for storing away things—are af- forded by these apartments under the rdof. ‘There are servants’ rooms over the kitchen and dining-room also. The next floor below the attic contains four large sleeping rooms with one small one, and as each is well furnished With newly-appointed closets for hanging. with trays for folded garments; the supposition is The | pamee cocagind te eee Senears Sans | a aa Ga hae ee oe hopes to in- jaite natural that Mrs. Blaine has had a hand the plans for remodeling the house. T' first floor above the street is undergoing qui a transformation. Two e front chambers have been throwa into one fine salon some fifty feet long by twenty or thirty broad. The car- penters ure almost through with their work, and when the painters and decorators put on ‘the finishing touches it will, indeed, be a noble apartment, suitable for stately receptions, ‘This old honse—if it could speak—eould tell many a tale as full of intrigue and the passions that rule men as any storied house in this city.

Like others who have seen “better Gays” it grew quite seedy and time-worn. when once more it is thrown upon the market to be rescued from oblivion by being leased to the Secretary of State, who is having it put fmto a more habitable condition as to conven- fences than it was ever in its first estate.

Mrs. Windom expecta to remain in duce the Secretary to take a little vacation with her at some place not yet decided upon. Mrs, Windom has resided “so much in Washington thet she is better known than many of the ladies in the cabinet circle, Her fine social tact and genial manners have rendered her a great favorite with her friends and popular in general society. —— 4 LHe THE HOME OF THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL. 1731 I street uorthwest numbers a house with ahistory. This is the fourth time it has been occupied by a cabinet officer. Washington is fall of houses that have associations of national interest attached to them. It was a great satisfaction to public sentiment when the — member of the last regime, Secretary Whitney, sold his clegant house to the newly appointed Postmaster-General. Such brilliant social gatherings, snch a hospitality had characterized it that it was pleasant to know that it would still have widely swinging doorsand a genial welcome for those who would make happy pilgrimages to it during the weeks devoted to society next year. All the social world was still better pleased when it found that nearly all the beautiful ap- tments or furnishings of the front draw- ing-rooms and of the great ball-room were to remain almost unchanged, only the personal things, the pictures and bric-a-brac, being taken away by Mrs. Whitney. Then everybody was charmed by young Mrs. Wm. Wanamaker, who came over from Philadelphia to make it homelike for her father-in-law while one house- hold was moving out andthe other in. The real mistress of the mansion, who has jast re- tarned from her European tour, and for the present is located in their cottage at Cape May, will make brief visits of inspection before she comes to stay. Mr. Wanamaker has some choice pictures on the walls where Mrs. Whitney's rare ones hung. Among these are a fine landscape by Daubigny, and a cattle-piece by J. H. L. De- faas. Fortuny gives a pathetic picture of a most unpoetical subject, a dead mule, but the sadness depicted on the faco of the mule's master gives it a stroke of dignity. A work by Gerard Firmon portrays two pretty maids, prone on the grass feeding a brood of ducks, while another by V. Braziks shows a little tod- dier taking her first step, to the admiration of the whole household. But probably the gem of the collection is one by G. Almatadema, The central figure is a mother and child, The little fellow gs lovingly to his mother’s neck, lookin; half alarmed at an old dame in somber shawl and close woolen cap, whose outstretehed hands seem to say “Come!” but he will have none of her. It was near lunch time when the writer vis- ited the house. A spare table, with plates for four, occupied the stately dining-room. The Queen Anue windows behind the wide sweep- ing arch were open, and with draperies tied back, the scent of the rain-filled atmosphere floated in. In the center of the table stood a hage punch-bow! full of pansies of all shades, Four cut-glass water bottles stood at each cor- ner beside a slender goblet and glass bowls, which the Philadelphia maid of Deutch descent proceeded to fill with crushed ice. Flowers bloomed in great jardiniers and in the old blue Canton vases on the mantel. Probably more distinguished men and women have met under this roof than in any other residence in the District, save only the execu- tive mansion, since Secretaries Evarta, Fre- linghuysen and Whitney, under different ad- ministrations, made it a center for diplomatic and social gatherings, ; SECRETARY TRACY'S NOME. In selecting as his home the former residence of Don. M. Dickinson, the late Postmaster- General, Secretary Tracy keeps another his- torical residence open. “1634” I street is situated south of Farragut square, upon which it bas an attractive out- look. ‘A flight of steps leads up to the hall on the south side of it, and through it one enters the front drawing-room. The back drawing- room is made beautiful by an immense bay- center. A finely proportioned diuing-room is rear of these apartments, 1e wood- work is of black walunt. The consists of stories, with a bay-window from | and ancient small Dutch i of art from the old world. In the square en- trance hall on the walls are bits of armor that recall scenes from Walter Scott's novels- trophy consisting of a broast-plate, arm aud thigh pieces—all of the fourteenth’ century. | On the covered mantel rests a Persian sword taken at Sebastopol. Close by is a German battle-axe inlaid with ivory, while near it is a blade that went through our Revolutionary war. Specimens of Spanish armor, with the | flexible Japanese blne costs of mail, are scat- | tered about. In one corner stands an antique cabinet, in which is a bronze fawn after Michael Angelo, The floor of this beautiful vestibule is | covered with Japanese and Smyrna rugs, while its most unique ornament is an old bridal chest | of the sixteenth century resting on “saw- horse” supporta, Its quaint carving inside and out conjure up a thousand fancies of old-time finery that may have rested within it which could not have been aa abundant as a modern bride's trosseau, sinee two such chests could be stowed away in a double-decked Saratoga trunk, On the left wall are two very fine proof copies of paintings by Raphael. On entering the drawing-room one steps on a soft Axmin- ster rug. Portieres hang over the doors. The most noticeable architectural feature is the maantel,which reaches to tye ceiling and — i yy, with repousse brass liring Tan oie panels are of ebony, carved, and the shelf of black oak, elaborately and tastefully finished. All this exquisite woodwork surrounds a fine plate-glass_ mirror, Brass on the hearth completes its artistic fur- nishings, The salon is so large that there is no crowd- ing, or that appearance of a show place in museum which so many parlors over-crowded with even curios sometimes present. In the great bay window is a mahogany sofa, with roller pillows at each end. ‘The window is charmingly draped. On the right is a minia- ture model of the Vendome column. On the left is an antique table with the spindle legs of. the Colonial period; beside it a superb piece of wood-carving of Queen Ann's time, and of a most rich tone in coloring, the mellowing tint which time stamps on old furniture; a five o'clock teapot covered with plush and ‘fringed with a brass trimming. Brass lamps and candelabra stand about with wax tapers in them, but for real illumination electricity is shrined in a fine pendant chandelier over head, ready for a touch to set its light free. ‘An open screen and portiere separates the drawing-room from the library, where low -cases well filled stand round the walls. Easy chuirs, tables, and conveniences for work or repose are temptingly disposed about in or- derly disarray. Here are trophies in armor of antique Persian and Damascus steel inlaid with Persian stones and gold, Passing under a double portiere, one of which is an elaborate piece of needle-work on canvas with bits of glass wrought in it in button-hole stitch like so many jewels, one comes to the dining-room. Alarge mahogany extension table with claw feet vceupies the center of an art square to the middle of the room. On the opposite wall is an immense rose-w: side-board, in the st; of the first empire, with Egyptian marble columns and engraved base, Over its swelling height are shelves with rare china and silver arranged upon them; above alla very dingy clock with long weights dangling down. In one column is a mahogany cup-board of triangnlar shape, filled with oid deep-biue and amber ware. re are two superb and valuable eloisome Japancee vases on each corner of the side-board. Over the open fire-place in the end of the room is a cabinet of mahogany, containing nooks for rare bitsof china. Ascending the Queen. Anne stairway, one finds an antique bedstead in the handsome front bed-room. It is a magni- ficent piece of rosewood carving of the Nurem- burg manufacture. Its gothic cornice almost reaches the ceiling. There are dainty images in the corner angles representing peace, prayer, repose, and benediction, From the carved canopy a tapestry border depends, finished with fringe. The hangings are of crimson plush, lined with satin, failing in graceful folds, At the head of the bedalike drapery falls smoothly, and on this a coat-of-arms is em- broidered in red, white, and blue, with the in- seription “In God is my trust.” A tapestry valance, like the canopy border, finishes the drapery of this artistic piece of furniture, In vais fine room are some choice pictures painted by the Misses Tiffany. It is possible that the Secretary mag select this mansion as a perma- vent residence. Mrs. Noble's tastes are de- cidedly artistic and literary. BECRRTARY RUSK'S RESIDENCE. The house leased by Secretary and Mrs. Rusk, No. 1330 Massachusetts avenue, near Thomas circle, is surrounded by homes of representa- tive men. The residence was built by Dr. J. Harry Thompson, several years ago, of frame, afterward rebuilt and divided into two com- modious dwellings, one of which ex-Secretury Lincoln ocenpied during his service in the cab- inet. It has three stories over a back basement andcellar, The rooms are large and well adapted for social purposes It faces northwest, over- looking a bit of parking adorned by a fountain, shrubberry and roses. The entrance is throu; a wide square vestibule into a long roomy hall, The drawing-rooms are on ¢ The front one is lighted by a bay-window 1g the street, and the rear one by auother bay which runa up two stories facing west. Over the man- telare plate-glass mirrors set in gilt frames. ‘The dining room with butler's pantry is just beyond. The dining-room is a spacious apart- ment which is quite a noticeable feature of the house, since dining-rooms in elegant mansions are often dispro) tely small. A bay lights it on east, while wide donb’ doors open on the south side into a narrow gallery screened bya lattice. The finishings are of ut and the walls are pay in good style.

They hope soon to secure a pleasant home quite weil ont of the central of the city. Mr. Miller, who is accustomed to taking Jong walks daily, will prefer to walk to and from his office.

On returning Mrs. Miller and her children will spend the rest of the season at Jn- dianapolis, Owing to severe illness of the youngest son of the Secretary of War Mrs. Proctor has not yet been able to visit Washington and select their official home.

A REVOLT FROM THE DIRECTOIRER MODES— NEW SUMMER FABEICS—THR TENDENCY TO FINE UNDERWEAR—RENAISSANCE OF THE LACE DBESS—SOME RELIEF FOR THE WIDOWS, From our Yn Correspondent, Naw Yor, June 28, “Do not mention ‘Directoire’ to me,” said a lady who is an authority on taste and fashion, recently, to her modiste; “I am sick of the very name.” The costume under discussion was silk, of a soft shade of gray, and the trim- ming decided upon was a lovely, transparent embroidery, executed in very delicate colors mixed with gold and silver threads. This was finally arranged as a plastron, as a wide panel, and as a square, fiat, seventeenth-century collar upon a chemisette and collar of em- broidered lace. The sleeves were full, with cuffs of lace, above which was laid a band of embroidery. The “Directoire” styles, or rather the mon- grel mixture of bold color and striking designs, which obtains currency for them have indeed been run into the gcound, and forced ladies of quieter tastes back upon a modification of the empire modes. This revival has been of real benefit. It has gotten rid of that absurd mon- strosity, the “bustle,” and the wrinkled mass of unnecessary and ill-used material known as “drapery;” but which, as commonly seen, con- sisted of a mass of stuff out of place and liable to become a nuisance at any moment. The sensible modification of the empire style, on the contrary, has given us a simple basis for the most charming summer costumes. Young girls gain infimtely by the charm of this lovely and artistic style of dress; and it is to be hoped they will be wise enough to retain its essential features, oN ; ‘The exaggeration of any style always looks like affectation anda rannies te atest: but the usual method adopted of maki the round, full bodice the natural length of the waist and shortening it a trifle by a broad, soft sash or belt, which often only starta from the side seams, preservesa certain equilibrium of rts, and is susceptible of variations adapted (rage and vanteniel or putpoon..

Ii the material is figured this is not ut a border is often woven in the silks, for edge suitable for indoors; mars its appearance, and pongees require nothing but a hem. REFINEMENT IX UNDERWEAR, There is one point in regard to the present summer styles which is worthy of special at- tention, and this is the refinement demanded Smeg Mersey! age in underwear, in the absence of overlaying, and the styles built on stiff foundation forms, which obliterated lightness and grace. The possibilities have been ly seized by ex leaders of fashi aided by the aint and deli- cacy in whatever comes in contact with the H i i f | 1 i & FG Ki H i i i ta ese i i E K transparent tissues. The old “‘sprigged” mus- lins appear and larger designs in delicate wat- teau and pompadour colorings. Flowerets tied with ribbon bows are scattered over a soft, tinted surface, or smalier and more conven- tional designs are used to form a bodice. ‘A bordered design is. however, usually lack- ing in elegance and distinction. Rich as the material may be, they always have an appear- ance of having been turned out by the gross, and they are rarely purchased by women of | recognized pretentions to taste, All this sen- son they have been selling “for a song” abroad, and we may expect to see our home market flooded with them: but while they may for this season be obtainable below actual value, they are turned to better account for house and home wear than for dresses of cere- mony, The amount of waste of time, labor, and material demanded by our frequent changes and by the arbitrary standards erected as measures of values would be incredible, if computed, to any one looking at the subject from the haman standpoint. becanse the waste must be offset by the want, aud who is respon- sible? But these muslins, how pretty they are for garden-party dresses, with gathered hats of soft India sprigged or silk muslin and parasols to match upen a silk foundation. One of the loveliest fete costumes in the world is of sprigged silk muslin, of a soft, ivory tint; para- soland hat or bonnet to match, the flowers | white heath or something equally dainty; the handle of the parasol twisted bamboo, the gloves and shoes the softest, most delicate shade of tan. Such a costume was worn by a blonde beauty at a recent lawn party, and proved an unquestioned success. It is gratifying to see that young women are beginning to consider the pretty gingham and batiste cottons quite “good enough” for sum- mer afternoon entertainments, garden teas, and informal receptions. In point of fact they con- stitute the prettiest as well as the most suitable average costumes for all such occasions, It is trae that one sees occasionally a dreasof ex- traordinary delicacy and charm, but these are very rare; their cost does not often afford the opportunity for them, nor is the inspiration always there even when cost is not an obstacle. But freshness and youth, jomed to a sense of fitness, are invested with charms of their own, and there is no drawback to a simple gown from fear of melting away in a shower. ‘There is an indescribable attraction in the color and fashion of making the cotton gowns this year. ‘The cotton lace ruffling and border- ing has fortunately disappeared, and the pretty grey bine grounds and narrow stri he olives, the terra cottas and browns with white lines are contrasted with full white mustin vest aud shirt sleeve showing at the wrist or with sleeves and flat plaited ruffle at the neck, sur- rounding it and crossing from right to left, fol- ‘lowing the line of the full, cross-over waist, The hats are of straw, with ‘hardly ary trim- ming but a spray or broken wreath of flowers, and the additional finish of a plaited lining of gauze, lisse, or tulle. ‘The white finish to the colored cottons and muslins has taken the place of the white dresses. Few white cotton costumes are seen, em- broidery not making up for the absence of the note of color, and the difference being too striking between the chalky, opaque white and a solid mass of color in the po! of sash rib- bons and the like. Thus the only admissible white is tinted or transparent, capable of mod- ulation and of easy transition, being iv provided with a medium between itself and the world of living color. A variation from the “white lights” is seen in the contrasts with black. The colors in the gowns are the same, the contrast effected by a wide, black sash and large black lace or chip hat, or by a long and wide black lace scarf. which is drawn in at the waist and ad out 80 as to cover the front of the skirt. is gives a handsome finish to the front of a straight, single skirt for the street, and does not require the expensive manipulation of a modiste. RENAISSANCE OF THE LACE DRESS. Last winter it was observed that the figured lace dresses had given place to striped gauze and dotted tissues for evening wear. It is a little curious now to see “lace” dresses. with ribbon streamers, worn under very ordinary circumstances on the street. For really ele- gant costumes, the large figured French and Spanish laces have given place to point desprit (dotted net), the sprigged laces, beautifal imi- tations of chantilly, in small, set patterns, and the netted grenadines (all silk), which are ex- nsive, but always handsome and durable. these are used as full HORST MET pe and bodices,in conjunction with si such e: pensive mixtures of silk and wool as bengaline. It has always been said of American women that while they surpassed the women of every other country in the style and cost of a certain conventional form of dress, they lacked daring and originality. This reproach will soon be taken away from them. The three-cornéred hat accompanies the directoire coat at Bar Har- bor, the “blazer” appears at Newport, while at a recent gathering at a seaside resort four young ladies wore Greek dresses and might have sat for pictures of Vestal virgins, so closel; was every detail of dreas and head-dress copied- No unpleasant attention was excited either. These young ladies had formed themselves into the “Sappho” club, and it is begining to be understood that women can consult their own taste, provided they do not violate the canons of all good taste by making themselves con- spicuous on the street. Even widows, that much abused class, have not been tig get from the march of improvement. The deadly double crape bon- net, the “widow's” cap andthe crushing pall of crape called ‘‘veil” have almost disappeared, The priestly fabrics have been a boon in ro- moving some of the weight of gloom which attached to the old bombazines and paramet- tas, and now the same manufacturers have in- troduced a long veil of nun’s veiling, which is used for bonnet and veil, reducing at the same time both cost and weight. With one of these veils, a black bonnet fra: a ‘wing the fullness over the crown and laying it in folds prin vided leaving the entire length to trai d, is not so use- less as it seems. for it can often be ___AUCTION SALES. cl cal Instruments, Clocks, Rugs, Vi tures, Surgical’ Instruments, &e. tickets will please take notice that al No. 60,000 to 137,000 are included i .
