Most of those attending the President's levee went to either and some both of the two large parties of the evening. ‘The White House reception was as gay as its predecessors. The company gathe: early and during the first hour the receiving party was kept busy at their pleasant task. 10 the incoming line grow straggling and tbe Pres- ident and Mrs. Harrison had a chance for fre- went reste with the opportunities of mingling in an informal way with theiz guests. This was naturally for their friends who filled the blue parlor the most leasant feature of the reception. Although e reception was in honor of the Senate and House and the judiciary, the latter was present with unbroken ranks, while the upper house was but sparsely represented. The protracted sittings of the Senate are making a noticeable effect in the absence of its members from social events, but in many cases last night when the’ Senators themselves were not present, their wives and guests were. When the receiving party came down stairs the corridor was already half filled with guests, who formed a wall of well-dressed bu- manity, through which the distinguished line Already in the blue parlor the Presi- jent’s family, Mr. and Mrs. McKee, Mrs. Ras- sell Harrison, Mrs. Dimmick, Mrs. Kitchen and Mrs, Foster of Indianepolis, their the ladies invited to assist ‘them, Fitch Shepard, Miss Newton, Miss Belle Green, Mrs. Wallace, brs Gear, Mra. Bayne, Countess Esterhazy, Mrs. Neidringhaus, Mrs, Wadsworth and Mrs. Gen. Foster, were assembled. When the cabinet officers and other gentlemen had foined this group the room was well filled. Capt.

Mrs. Harrison's indisposition is not at all serious, although sufficiently severs to prevent her standing for two hours and receiving a long line of callers. During the past month there hax been acurions succession of ills at the White House, all with the same symptoms of cold ands throat affection, “Mrs. larri- son, Mrs. MeKee, Mrs. Russell Harrison, all of the’ children and two of the nurses have at various times been affticted in the same way.
