Oh, we went perpetually, and it was not our fault if he was not overwhelmed with this particular honour. Any visitor who came once came again; to come merely once was a slight nobody; I'm sure, had ever put upon him. His circle therefore was essentially composed of habitues, who were habitues for each other as well as for him, as those of a happy salon should be. I remember vividly every element of the place, down to the intensely Londonish look of the grey opposite houses, in the gap of the white curtains of the high windows, and the exact spot where, on a particular afternoon, I put down my tea-cup for Brooksmith, lingering an instant, to gather it up as if he were plucking a flower. Mr. Offord's drawing-room was indeed Brooksmith's garden, his pruned and tended human parterre, and if we all flourished there and grew well in our places it was largely owing to his supervision.
Many persons have heard much, though most have doubtless seen little, of the famous institution of the salon, and many are born to the depression of knowing that this finest flower of social life refuses to bloom where the English tongue is spoken. The explanation is usually that our women have not the skill to cultivate it the art to direct through a smiling land, between suggestive shores, a sinuous stream of talk. My affectionate, my pious memory of Mr. Offord contradicts this induction only, ! fear, more insidiously to confirm it. The sallow and slightly smoked drawing-room in which he spent so large a portion of the last years of his life certainly deserved the distinguished name; but on the other hand it couldn't be said at all to owe its stamp to any intervention throwing into relief the fact that there Was no Mrs. Offord. The dear man had indeed, at the most, been capable of one of those sacrifices to which women are deemed peculiarly apt: he had recognised-under the influence, in some degree, it is true, of physical infirmity that if you wish people to find you at home you must manage not to be out. He had in short accepted the truth which many dabblers in the social art are slow to learn, that you must really, as they say, take a line, and that the only way as yet discovered of being at home is to stay at home. Finally his own fireside had become a summary of his habits. Why should he ever have left it？ Since this would have been leaving what was notoriously pleasantest in London, the compact charmed cluster (thinning away indeed into casual couples) round the fine old last-century chimney-piece which,

Washington, D.C.
When you hear people talk about Washington, D.C., you may want to know What the letters D.C. mean. They mean "District of Columbia". Washington, the capital city of the U.S.A., is in the District of Columbia, not as you might expect, in the State of Washington. Washington State is thousands of miles away on the northwest coast.(There are also several other towns called Washington in the United States.)
Washington, D.C. lies between Virginia and Maryland on the Potomac River. It's about 220 miles south of New York City. The pleasantest and easiest way to get there is by long-distance bus, or by the fast(125-miles-an-hour) train which costs a little more than the bus journey and a little less than flying. I would travel far more than 200 miles to see Washington. It's not a city that has grown up accidentally as most big cities have done. It was carefully planned as the nation's capital by Frenchman, Pierre L'Enfant. The city was named after George Washington, the much-loved, much-admired, much-respected first President of the United States. In 1791 he himself arranged to buy the land on which it stands.
Now let's take our first look at the capital. For a few moments you may feel you are dreaming and that you have stepped back through the centuries into ancient Greece. Many of the beautiful, shining buildings are built in the noble style. of the ancient Greek temples, and stand in wide avenues amid trees and fountains. Most of them are museums or government offices. Government is the chief business of Washington, and the chief government building is called the Capitol. With its high dome, it looks a little like St. Paul's in London or St. Peter's in Rome. It stands on a hill overlooking the city, which is divided by Rock Creek Park. A long wide avenue called the Mall leads to the Capitol. At the other end of this avenue a tall, white, needle-like building points to the sky. This is, of course, the highest "needle" in the world!—the Washington Monument.
On both sides of the Mall are museums and government buildings. What a surprise this city is! Washington and New York seem to be in two different worlds. Here there are no huge office skyscrapers and so it's not necessary to lean backwards to look up all the time. Then there is the Washington Cathedral which looks very much like a cathedral in an old European city. Of course, as in any other big city, parts of Washington are not so pleasant. There are narrow dirty little streets and ugly houses. But there are many splendid things to see and, because Washington covers such a wide area, the easiest way to see them is to take a special sight-seeing bus or a "mini-bus" or "tourmobile". But don't expect the guides on the buses to give you a very serious talk.
On one tour, I remember, the guide told us," That's the Washington Monument, folks(people here are often addressed as 'folks'). It's the highest 'needle' of its kind in the world." And then he added, "At least, I don't know a higher one!"
This is the city where America remembers her famous Presidents. The guide will take you to see the memorials to them. The Jefferson Memorial is a very beautiful white building in the shape of a circle. Its roof is supported by tall columns. Inside stands a statue of President Jefferson. The Lincoln Memorial is a huge white building. Inside you can see a famous statue of Abraham Lincoln, sitting in a great chair. The theatre where he was murdered while watching a play is now a museum, the Lincoln Museum. Then there is the Memorial to President Kennedy at Arlington. Here a flame which was lit on the day of his funeral burns and is never put out. Like Lincoln, Kennedy was shot. Another, newer, memorial to him is the John. F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, overlooking the Potomac River. It is a huge place and contains the Eisenhower Theatre, an opera house and the concert hall which is t
