Fooun hi At Secretary Blaine's house there was warmth and cheer and brightness for callers. ‘The ladies did not see early visitors, but at nearly 6 o'clock there were still personal friends lin; ing and waiting carriages about the door. But few comparatively of the hundreds ont calling had the pleasure of entering this house, having gone their early before starting for the distant points where the other cabinet families reside. Mrs. and tho Misses Windom commenced early and kept up late in seeing callers, Their gnests, the Misses Colby, were among their assistants. Mrs. Miller's hospitable doors were also open early and late, figuratively speaking, though the way the wind whistled in that neighbor- hood made it really undesirable that, any door should remaiv open a minute longer than neces- sary. Mrs. Miller wore a becoming gown of dark EX. silk thathad narrow satin stripes in it. ‘Miss Miller had on a pretty pale blue grenadine and Miss Knox, her guest, wore a pink worsted room, where the responaibility of F | entertaining was borne by Miss Jessie and her young school mate, Miss Heard of Watkins’ Glen.” Mist Jemie’s old blue China silk made her a veritable picture and her friend. was in pale pink silk. Mrs. Proctor’s renewed health and strength made yesterday's duties but a slight matter. She met her cullers in the sun-lit library, the room at the southeast corner of the house. ‘She wore, as usual, black—a dress of heavy grain silk. Miss Proctor, in a becoming dress of white crepe, and Mrs. Greeley, in black lace and silk, trimmed in gilt passementerie, as- sisted. Out in the dining room, where there was a tempting spread, Miss Lyman, in a blue and white figured silk, and Miss Fiotcher, in black Brusselis net, did the honors. The latter young lady is a cousin of Miss Proctor and comes from Indianapolis. She is now making the family a visit. At the residence of the Postmaster General the reception was unusually crowded and much enjoyed. Mrs. Wanamaker received her caliers, es entirely recovered from the effects of a bad cold. She worea steel gray aatin with pin stripes, and long black feather boa made a most becoming addition. Her guest, Mrs. Wilson of Philadelphia, was in black and gray brocade and Ara. J. Lowrie Bell wore pale blue silk and black lace. Miss Wana- had ona stylish gown of light blue satin- striped silk. She had assisting her Miss Any in blue India silk and Miss Hoge in red silk and black luce. The presence of the young ladies kept the callers moving toward the ball-room, and the passages to the dining room were there for kept freer. The servants passed about light refrerhmerts and cooling verages among all those who entered the dining room. Mrs. Noble's reception was also very large, and there seemed to be present always a com- any of distinguiahed persons. irs. Noble .d on an artistic gown of terra cotta silk com- bined with light brocade. Her sisters, Mra. Henry Strong, in gray satin and black thread Mrs. Lackland, in smoke-colored bro- eade, and Mrs. Wm. A. Hammond, in dark- blue velvet, were assisting. Mixs Halstead, in cafe au lait eilk and velvet, and Miss Marguer- ite Halstead, in white wool and Persinn em- broideries, were also receiving. The latter sat atadaintily arranged tea table in the back part of the parlor and brewed Russian tea. She served the dehcious beverage in tall, thin glasses resting on a saucer. ‘Mra. Rusk found the heaviest part of her duties during the first hour of the reception, as, nearly all the callers began at her house’ to make the rounds. Her lamp-lighted parlors were very attractive. Her gown was of black satii (iss Rusk bad on one of her prettiest demi-tdilets, in a red crepe. Mra. Willard War- ner assisted in entertaining and guiding the callers out to the dining room. Her gown was of black lace, with a Spanish jacket of dark-red velvet. ‘Mr. and Mrs. Thomns Riggs, whore house on rd | Iowa circle is well known to the cultured resi- dents of this city, gave a reception yosterday from 4 to 7 to introduce their daughter, Mins Higgs, The suite of paslors was tastefully dec- orated with paims and cut flowers. The family portraits looked down on an assemblage of agreeable persons, who found many pleasant things to say to the young debutante. Mrs. Riggs had on a beautifal gown of wood green silk that had black luce draping the front of the skirt. Mise Higgs’ dress was of white silk, the jacket bodice being cut in vandykes, edged with braid, and disclosing a vest of soft crepe. She carried'a novegey of white buds. Countess Esterhazy, Miss Auger, Miss Butler and Miss Condit Smith were assisting. Out in the dining room Mrs. Eddy sat at the head of the flower- decked refreshment table. The newly organized dancing club was most delightfully entertained last evening at the res- idence of Senator Quay on I street. The occa- sion was a dance, the first of several that the club expects to have during this season. There was a very large attend: of young people, but owing to the size of the house there wag no marked crowd a. any time and the evening was one of the most enjoyxble in this season that iy seen 80 many pleasant entertain- ments. As the guests entered the front draw- ing room they were welcomed by a receiving arty, which consixied of Mrs. Quay, Miss cos ‘and the Misses Rice. The Jong drawing roomsand the great ball room were beautifally decorated with palms and potted plants and a profusion of roses. Only the ball room was used for dancing, and the remainder of the lower floor was given up as reception and con- Yervation rooms. Allthe young girle were in their prettiest gowns and’ the ball room presented as charming a scene as any one conld ask for. Late in the evening the doors of the dining room were ope’ supper was served. Amo: resent were Mr. and Mra. Hi .

Mr. Spofford, librarian of Congress, is mach interested in the proposition made in Tw Stax for the establishment of a free public library at Washington. “There is nocity,” he suid tos Stax reporter, Pree Ror Aorscr, $.D., Dee. 81. 1890.—At 4:0 p.m., December 28, Lieut. Nicholson rode “where it would be easer to establish such a library and none which needs one more.
