By the way, our newly elected United States senator, John M. Thurston, is an ardent sportsman, and is well up in the lore of mountain, woods and stream. Of late years he has done but little shooting aside from an annual trip to-the Rockies for big game, but has been devoted more to the pleasures of the line and rod. At the gentle art he is an adept, and so is Mrs. Thurston. She handles a rod and reel with the dex- terity of a master, and, for that matter, is quite a shot with shotgun or rifle. She accompanies Mr. Thurston on all his outings, and is a great lover of outdoor sports and pastimes, 8he is a splendid horsewoman, and rows a boat like a champion. In fact Mrs. Thurston is a very charming and a very superior woman, and will be an a slon, indeed, to the social circle at the capital We have still another lady here who is famous for her c bilities in the field or on the stream—Mr §. Dundy, jr., daughter. in-law of Judge E. S, Dundy of the States court. She can do about as over one of her husband's fine dogs on ehicken or quail as the average sportsman, and last winter at Sutherland, Fla., in a team target shool, in which were a number of cxpert gentlemen wing shots, carried off the palm by killing 23 out of 25 birds. For this feat her husband shipped her a high grade 16 Lefover, with instructions to challenge the best shot at that resort. Mre. Dundy is a magnificent rider, rower, and swimmer, and these accomplishments, together with her rare beauty and intellectual attainments, make her a popular person, indecd and Mrs. Dundy, and Miss May I now in 'Frizco, bound for Japan. be absent until late in April. ane Keler Cotiilon, For Miss Thrall, daughter of Mr. George Thrall, who was a resident of Omaha in the 708, but now located In Detroit, Mrs. Charles B.

Miss Thrall is an exceedingly bright, Intelligent and attractive young woman, who has a large circle of ‘warm friends in this city, and her presence here is always followed by a number of functions in_ her honor.

This was a very effective flgure. St. Valentine was well represented, there being learts in profusion as decoration, while the card on each chair was a cupid with drawn bow. Thero were ballet girls for the men, dressed doll fashion, with pin cushions and baskets of bon bons and minlature skates.
