Receptions at the Homes of Members of the Oabinet, Eto. ——— In times past the dawning of the New Year Was almost. invariably azcompanied by bad Weuther—bad, at least for the social duties of the New Yearday. Those who intended making calls were accustomed to engage carriages some time’ in advance, being satisfed that when the time arrived {t would be very un- pleasant to go about on foot. To-day, however, Was a notable exception, More beautiful weather than that which greeted the citizens of Washington when they arose this morning conid not be desired. It equalled the delighttul weather of early spring. The air wascrispand inspiring, veritying with surprising accuracy the predictions of the signal serviceweather prophet Under the warming influences of the sun the chill of the air was moderated and New Year callers began their rounds under the most fay- orable @:rcumstances, Never before was the weather auch a unfversal topic of conversation, and deservedly so, and many forgot their firm determination to converse during the gay with- out once alluding toit. There was very little going on in the earlier part of the day and the city wore its customary holiday appearance, The private carriages which were to be seen in the forenoon contained ladies on their way to the residences of their friends with whom they were to receive. The large bundles in nearly every such carriage contained the handsome reception dress which wasto call forth ad- miration later in the day. GAY SCENE AT THE WHITE HOUSE. President Cleveland's First New Year ‘ Reception. The day's gayeties nuturally centered in the reception at the White House—the first. New ‘Yeur reception held by a democratic President for many years. Policemen were stationed at the Avenue gates, and at half-past 10 o'clock Permitted the newspaper representatives and other authorized persons to enter. Shortly after carriages bexan to arrive with the ladies oO: the cabinet who were to assist Mi.s Cleve- land In receiving. The Marine band was early on hand, and was, as usual on New Year day, siutioned in the furze ve-tibule and played du- Ting the hours of the reception, ‘The White House parlors were very tastefully decorated, Potted plants and growing flowers, all in gilded or silvered baskets, filled the man- tel-pieces and shelves in front of the large mir- rors, while every nook and corner was filled vith palms and other tropical plants, Smilax wus gracefully twined in abundance about the matnmoth cliandeliers. The gas was lighied In the Interior rooms, but the bright sensuine found its way through cracks and crevices and mingled with tlie mellow glow. In the East room daylight reigned supreie. There was a large corps Of assistants In addition to the reg- ular White House ushers,and the arrange- tnents made with care wereiuccessfully curried ou At exact strdek up © to the Chief,” and the Presi- dent's party at the ~ame moment descended the staircase. Mrs. Bayard leaned upon the urt Of the President, Secretary Bayard escorted ‘Miss Clevelund, and the remuining members of the cabinet followed with their ladies, Secre- tary Lamar being the only absentee. Col. Wil- son preceded them, and Lieut, Duvail, with Miss Bayard, brought up the rear. ‘he ladies st in this order on the Presi- dent's rizht: Miss Cleveland, Mrs. Bayard, Mrs, Manning, Mrs. Whitney and Mrs. Vilus, Mist eland wore # court train of garnet velvet with tabliere of white silk wrought with beaded embroidery, The cor- was ol white, cutsquare in front and heartshaped at the back displaying a finely shaped neck and shoulders. The garnet velvet formed a peas- ant waist In front, the sleeves were stort and the pearl-colored gant de Suede reached high above the elbows. She carried @ bouquet of white rose ‘Mrs. Bavard wore a train of white satin with richly embroidered white canton erepe draped shawl shupe over the skirt, She wore a bouquet de corsage of natural roses, Mrs. Manning worea very faintshade of hello~ trope satin embroidered in pear! and crystal beads ail over the tront. It had a train, id the dress of eudin lady In the receiving part; Mrs. Whitney wore white satin, richly em- broidered {n silver. A magnificent diamond heckluce and diamond comb completed ber toilet, Z Mrs. Vilas wore a shrimp pink silk with ori- ental trimmings and em:oldery on crepe lisse Miss Bayard wore a mist-colored satin (a deli- cate gray) velled with a little darker shade of tu Miss Nannfe Bayard wore a pale amber uncut velvet dress, and Misy Florence Bayard wore lizht pink sfik handsomely made und trimmed. Miss Andrews (Mrs, Bayard’s niece), from Bal- timore, wore white lace over white satin, with green ribbons and grasses, ‘Mrs, Lamont, the wife of the President’s pri- vate secretary, Who was present with her hus- band: worean elegant toiletof flame-colored satin, Mine. Noguetras, who was with her husband, the Portuguese minister, wore a biack velvet sui Madame Reuterskiold, the Swedish ter's wife, wore a carriage dress of black with white bonnet and ee Owing toa severe cold Mrs, Endicott was not present, The members of the foreign legations who take advantage of this opportunity to pay thelr respects to the Executive, had all arrived and the Presidential party had scarcely taken their places belore the Portuguese minister, who Is the dean during the absence of the ‘Haytien minister, was presented, and bis brother dip- Iomata followed in line,” Thelr handsome ani forms gave an added brilllancy to the scene. The British government was represented by its minister, lon. L. 8. West, Miss West, Miss Flora West, Mr. and Mrs. Helyar, the’ Hon. Charles Hardinge and Mrs. Lehman, the gen- tlemen named being all members of the British legation in Washington, The Misses West wore dark bine dresses, with bonnets and muffs to atch. The skirts of the dresses were of silk, striped with red, blue and old gold, and thé joes were ‘rinimed with a little gold passe- menterie and had full fronts of white crey lisse. The Misses West are tt favorites in society, and are much pl themselves with Wasi and the friends they have made here.
