Uncle Sam’s Women Clerks.

Some of the old ladj clerks are finelooking, and some of them had noted careers in society before going Into the departments. One had Jefferson for an ancestor, and another, perhaps the most beautiful of the white-haired ladies of the Treasury, was the wile of an Ohio Governor. These old lady clerks dress well, and among them are some of the most agreeable talkers in Washington. Their hearts are young, though their hair is white, and they a,re almost ps fascinating now as when the bloom was- on their cheek* and they were the belles of their native states.
