When it was decided yes- terday morning that this reception be given the rooms were again decorated with plants snd flowers, so that Jast evening the house pre- tented its usuai appearance for state occasions. The Marine Band was stationed in the corridor , Scotch and old country deliadé, Mrs. Har- Tison had the ladies of the cabinet to meet her colleagues in the soriety some of whom came escorted by thet husbands ‘There were about a hundred present and before they separated a supper was rorved in the private dining room. The word “last” prefaces most of the social matters this week and is heard by some in @ thankful and by others .in a regretful spirit. For the cabinet ladies, whose receptions yes- terday were almost as large in consequence a6 marked the first of the season, there is feel- ing of gepuine relief that the long winter is nearly over and that the demands upon their time wi'l for the uext mouth or two be much lessened. Nearly all of the cabinet families will make ita point to keep to the reception day during the Lenten season, if otherengage- ments will permit them to do's, but they will ouly be at home after4or 5 o'clock. In the that came and went yesterday in the five cabinet homes open, there were as many new faces as at any time this winter, showing retty evidently that a lurge majority of these inesday crowds are made up irom the usient Visitors to the city, whe take these ceptions in as they do all the other incom- parable sights of the capital.
