Pretty Scenes and Good Times at the Lega- tion—Numerous Teas, Receptions, Dinners and Luncheons—Personal Notes of In- terest. The members of the Chineso legation are celebrating a festival week, which commenced on Friday evening with Mr. Ho's dancing party. They had another celebration on Sat- urday night, when thirty or forty children Were present to enjoy the feast of lanterns by invitation of Mr. Pung. The festival has a couple of dave more to ran, like all other pe- tiods of Chinese rejoicing, and it marks a very happy time in the celestial calendar, Minister Tsui being absent in Cuba, the hospitalities of the legation are dispensed by Mr. Ho and Mr. Pung. Mrs. Tsui chaperoned the gatherings, both on Friday and Saturday evenings, and at the iatter party Baby'Tsui was present and was the center of much juvenile admiration. Mrs. Peachy, Mr. and Mrs, Sevellon Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Elliott and Mr. and Mrs, Hunter Galt were ulso present on Saturday night to watch the gay proceedings. In the throng of little folks dancing in the ball room were Leila and Carrie Peachy, Emma Brown, Gertrude Brown, Master Phelps Brown, Helen, Juha, Mary and Nelli Monroe, Juha and Caroline Huff, Lizzie Taylor, Miss Morris, Miss Bean, Masters Brian, Overton and Taylor, Lizzie Taylor and Sadie Luttrell. The feast of lan- terns in China gives the opportunity for the greatest strect parade of the year. ‘Tho streets and houses are illuminated by lanterns of every shape and hue, bands of music are at given stations, and the entire popuiace takes part in the festivity. ‘The procession keeps moving all day long till midnight. The great object of attention in the parade is an enormous white silk balloon, called tie pearl, through winch countless small lanterns can be seen twinkling. Four other balloons, shuped like dragons and also filled with smail lanterns, are carried by men, whose duty it is to make ‘their airy mon- sters grub all the time at the pearl. In another part of the procession a great ball of lauterns is carried and two lion lanterns are bobbed around the same way, much to the entcrtain- ment of the parading throngs of people. For the little folks on Saturday night a dainty supper was provided. ‘To carry out all the cus- toms of a Chinese household a scariet-draped table was in one corner of the parlor, where the fumes of incense went up from a dragon- shaped cup. On either side of the incense were two red candles burning. Mr. and Mrs. Charles M. Ffoukle were at home to an invited company on Saturday after- noon from 4 to7, upon which occasion their friends generally saw for the first time the spacious new addition to their house—the tapestry hail.
