How Well-Known People are Spend- ing the Lenten Season. BUSY WHITE HOUSE LADIES. Mrs. Harrison's Industry—The Plans of Mrs. McKee and Mrs. Russell Harrison—Lenten Clube and What They are Doing—Pereonal Paragraphs of Interest. Society will not be entirely dormant during the coming week. Some of the events of which most pleasant anticipationsare largely shared are | the two receptions for Monday evening, that of Mr. and Mrs. Parker Mann to meet Mr. and Henry J. Commann and Mrs. J. Francis | Murphy at Tanglebank and the other given by a “Mrs. Cabell to mect the members of | ms and Daughters of the Revolt company is invited for 8:30 o'clock to. th ter and a card of admission accompanies th handsomely engraved cards of invitation. On Tuesday Mre. 8. M. Bryan gives a luncheon. On Wednesday the marriage of Miss Carolyn J. Roush and Mr. Robert U. Harper will take place at the New York Avenue Church at 3: ‘The ladies at the White House are finding the leisure now for many things that they have been putting off for months Mrs. Hurrivon’s mail every day continuey to grow to an alarm- ing extent, and to answer her correspondence, or, at best, to dictate replies, takes @ great por- tion of her time. She ix written to from every direction and on every conceivable subject until her household hae commenced to think that the general impression of how the wife of the President «pends her time must be that she sits ina rocking chair all day and orders numerous vassals at her right and left to do her queenly bidding. Mrs. Harrison, however, is rather of too energetic » temperament to sit still while others are working and, consequently, there are no busier hands than hers. Despite all that comes from day to day to distract her attention she manages to keep some uninter- rupted hours for her artistic studies, ber paint- ing, &e., which both rests und entertains her at the same time. Mrs. Dimmick is at present the one member of the family upon whom all the rest are show- ering sympathy, as ber turn of cold and sore throat has come and she has been quite indis- posed for several days in consequence. Today or perhaps not unti! Monday Mra. Saunders will start for her home in Nebraska and will take ber little granddaughter, Mar- thena Harrison witb her, ax the doctor does not think the little one will regain her formec health and strength until she breathes her native air again. Mrs. Russell Harri- son will stay on at the White House for several weeks or perhaps longer. ‘Mrs. Russell Harrison, by the way, never looked rettier than she does now, her general health Exving co much improved during the winter that her face has again assumed its attractively rounded outlines. One hears just these re- marks and others immensely more flattering in every company where she appears. She is wearing a helio! cloth gown, very elab- pra fastefcly trimmasd witli ietwerk , that is commented upon as one of the most stylish visiting costumes of the season. ‘Mrs. McKee and Mrs. Russell Harrison were making calls esterday afternoon,and their reap- pearance in the social world was a subject of tcomment. Mrs. McKee owes now as much allegiance to Boston as to Indianapolis, as her husband is now in business in the former city, where go soon again for another little visit. Talki of clubs in W. mn, and the ladies of White House belong to none of them here, Mrs. McKee says that In- dinnapolis is fairly honeycombed with them, and that all of them, whether social, literary or with even dee; urposes, present many inter- esting —— Women's Club of that city, of which both Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Me- Kee are members, has the latter on its list of evsayists for the next _mesting in March. ‘Mrs. McKee is now prepuring a paper on the aim and. results of. the Pan-American congress, which will be read upon that occasion. She is devoting her mornings now to the securing of everything new bearing on this subject, havi interviews with the prominent foreigne 0 entered so largely into its dincumlons, and whose ripened judgment give a force. and sta- bility to their convictions. Mrs. McKee prom- ised last winter to prepare this paper, but she could not find the time for it. She has now, however, gone into the work with her usual quiet industry, and will stay at it until her task is completed to her eutire satisfaction. Mrs. McKee expects to spend the coming sum- mer at one of the northern seashores, but has not yet selected the spot. She would like to be within convenient reach of Boston, wo that her husband couid join her at more frequent intervals. ‘The President and Mrs. Harrison have other views, however, and will probably determine upon their Cape May ready for sas-n- pancy all summer, though they may not be there as long as last summer. In one way or other, however, both the President and Mrs. Harrison looking forward to an extended change of scene during the recess of Congress and may eee a great deal of this country before the sammer is over. Madame Lascano, the wife of the Chilian min- ister, bad @ pleasant reception yesterday. She has lately returned from a visit with ber hus- band to New York. Mme. Guzman had Miss Bispham, Miss Con- dit Smith, Miss Mildred Carlisle and Miss Jack- son with Mme. Suarez to meet her guests yes- terday. The dainty parlors were lamp-lighted, there were fresh flowers, and the dining room, | where the young ladies grouped about the refreshment table offering its good things to visitors, seemed a very bright spot in the after- noon’s round of cally Mme. Guzman wore a black lace gown made over dark green silk, with a bodice of a deeper green velvet; Miss Bixpham had on a tight gray cloth; Miss Jnek- son trailed becoming gown of scarlet silk | after her; Miss Condit Smith wore a blue and brown striped silk: Miss Carlisle wore a creata- colored silk with knots of brown velvet, and Mme.

Madame Mendonea wore aquiet gown of old red satin and velvet, trimmed with jet. Her three daughters, in light, dainty gowns, were always surrounded. fiw Hunt and Miss Campbell of Boston, who are now their guests, aud Miss Despard of New York, who is also visiting here, assisted the young ludies, and.like them,were each the cen- ier of chatting groups.

The Lenten clubs this season are not nearly so numerous as usual, probably for the fact that people intend to separate earlier thi spring for their traveling. Excepting a few sewing, reading and musical societies, whose meetings were arranged for in advance, there is little else of this character to agitate the feminine soul. It is all the better for the older societies already well established for yearsand their meetings are therefore re- garded with more interest than would be Sible if the members were distracted by a dozen other dates for oh aah At Madame Mendonen’s yesterday afternoon. | }y.sic, THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON enment required much more undivided atten- tion than Reger’ of the winter. The whist h also flourished s0 ac- ceptably Inst season, are by no means as nu- merous this venr. There is, however, no lack of whist playing and those who can boast of a real sefentific knowledge of tlie game are in de- | mand constantly to make up parties. There is just ax much whist, but the players are not clubbed together for their weekly meetings. ‘The P t Club, one of the suecesses of last Lent, is about to start in for its spring sea- son in another week or #0. The ladies came to- | Sether last Wednesday at Mme. Guaman’s invi- tation to talk over ite coming careerat a charm- ing breakfast of which she was the hostess. The | club's breakfasts usually, however, are paid for by subscription. There are eleven members, each lady patting in a given sum for the series, and each member when she is hostess has the privilege of asking a guest, making the round dozen at cach spread. Among the sewing circles which are in active working order this Lent there is @ system of | fines for tardiness and absence that goes far to- | ward contributing to their success. Those who | fail toattend each of the weekly meetings are taxed 25 cents, and these collected fines make x | handsome sum toward replenishing the treas- ury. Mrs. Bydney Everctt has orgunized one } of the sewing circles, the products of whose la- | borsare for the patients at the Home for In- curables. Generally the attendance ix large [aud the quantity of sewing accomplished very satisfactory. e members, however, who have no time to attend the meetings do their {share of the sewing at home, pay their flues cheerfully for absence and an extra fine if it is | suspected that their contributions of clothing were made not by themselves, but by their maids.

Master Workman P. L. O'Brien 6f that assembly presided. In open- ing the meeting he said that the quostion of organization among the carpenters was one that had been discussed many times and it wa: necessary to further discuss the matter on ac- count of the condition of affairs. After speake ing of the benefits derived from such an organi- zution he introduced to the large audieuce of ladies and gentlemen the Hon. A. W. Wright, a member of the general executive board of the Knights of Labor and editor of the Journal of United Labor. Not being familiar with the local affairs nn- der discussion the speaker said he would speak more purticularly about labor organization. The work, he said, is divided into different or- ganizations, but there is no reason why they should not all pull together, as they were work- ing for the same end ‘They should engage in sfght against the common enetay and not against ane another. Farmers and all sorts of producers have learned a lesson from our or- nizations and today they are Seog ES benefits of their lesson. Some writers have said that it was only competition between labor and capital; but, said the speaker, if that be true, which it is not, the sooner the conflict | comes the bettet, but let that conflict be » peaceable one. OPEN ORGANIZATIONS FAVORED. “T have always favored open organizations,” he said, “‘and recognize the infinite danger to property growing ont of weeret ones, but if capital renders open organization an im- possibility then I will do all I can to mak vecret organization a success and take the chances.
