MASTER M'KER'S EGG-ROLLING LUNCHEON—BEN- ATOR BRICE’S MUSICALE—BUDS THAT WILL BE ‘BRIDES—ENTERTAINMENTS PEOJECTED FOR NEXT WEEK WILL KEEP THE SOCIAL WORLD ACTIVE. Easter finds society in just the mood to enjoy three or four weeks of set gayeties. The Le: ten season was proverbially calm and redicted Holy Week was unmarked by even the faintest ripple. Tho spring is so far advanced that new gowns will bo plentiful and just in time to keep pace with the redressing of all nature in its fresh garb. If tomorrow be fair aud suuny, the churches will be crowded and the afternoon promenade something to be remembered, In itimore the well dressed world takes its airing out Charl street after the morning church services, and in New York society promenades 5th avenue after its devotions. Here there is but little loitering on the streets until after the afternoon services. when everybody goes out to see how every- body else looks, It is not all new clothes either over which society is racking its brains today, for the pro- gram for next week will go on, in spito of wind or weather. In some respects the number and variety of entertainments ap- proaches a week in the early winter aud by an unwritten law the very young and the next ‘oungest of the members of fashionable fami- lies are going to be kept the busiest. From Baby McKee’s egg-rolling luncheon on Monday for the little folks who will spend the day atthe White House, to the end of the week, there are parties in nienty.. For the next size, the youths and misses who have outgrown pinafores, there is also diversion of the jolliest kind, . For the third size of young America, misses and masters who will make their debut into fashionable life within a yeur or two, or perhaps a little more, there are dimuers, suppers, dances and germans every day and night for the next ten. Their fun begins with the pucking tea at Mrs) Wanamaker's on Mon- day afternoon, when all the garments that their industry 3 members of the sewing class have fashioned during Lent are going to be arranged in a box preparatory to sending to its destination at the day nursery. There are no startling novelties for the grown-up folks unless it be the Brice musicale when Sealehi and other nigh priced vocalists will sing, and the grand 6 t the Arlington will be a perfect bower of tine flowers, ‘The weddings are going to be a feature of the coming week after all, Leading off with Miss Obverly’s on Monday morning and then Miss Brewer's in the evening, one will not be rid of the sound of wedding bells for twoor three days more. People should re- member that there are church ecards for Mi Brewer's wedding. The number invited t the reception necessarily small, a# the house will not accommodate many more than the two families and the Supreme Court circle, Quitea number of Boston friends wili come on with Mr, Karrick. ‘The chances are that the cabinet ladies will reccive on next Wednesday, although so far there bas been no consm!tation on the subject between them, Several of them always do keep one or two reception days after Easter, and there is no good reason why they would not continue to do so this season. Mrs. Harrison has been tho recipient of many kind messages all the week aud there has becn constant inquiry for her every day. She has been very ili, indeed, her worst days being the latter part of last week, and. in fact, up to Tuesday. Now that the is commencing to improve, she is inter- ested in everything going cx im the house and would like to talk, only talking is likely to bring on coughing, and consequently cannot be allowed. Her iliness will therefore hinder auy festivities ut the White House at present, and as the President has \ given orders to have his Cape May cottage put in order, the chances are that he will take Mrs, Harrison down there to recuperate after her convalescence begins, ‘The list of gayeties for the coming week are: SUNDAY. Representative and Mra. Bourke Cockran will give a dinner. MoNDAY, Miss Edith M. Qberly and Mr. George Morris Eckels will be married at the Church of the In- carnation at 10 o'clock.
