Mrs. Bissell’s Pretty House—Mrs. Carlisle and Her Summer Plans — Weddings and Receptions—A Birthday Celebration—Notes About Well-Known People. The cabinet families will be pretty widely separated during the summer months, but are looking forward to @ grand reunion here next fall. The house-hunting problem has not been solved to the entire satisfaction of all the Indies of cabinet households, and bnt a few of them are really settled. On several of the largest houses in the West End that have been longest unoceupied the signs have been removed dur- ing the last few days, and this would indicato that some stlections have been made. A good many transactions of this kind are made vi confidential affairs nowadays, and both land- ord and tenant make # mutual promise of | secrecy till the time really comes when the new tenant is to tako possession. | One of the most luxurious of the medium- sized dwellings offered for rent the past | month found a tenant in the person of an | elderly gentleman of means, who will not, how- ever, occupy it until next fall. The arrange- ‘ment will not form a raatter of pubiic comment | | until that period, when the gentleman contem- | plates matrimony, and telling about his house | | renting would be taking the world into bis con- | | ddeuce over the other and more sentimental | purpose. Now everybody is running over their | Fist of cligibie elterly and wealthy nequaint- | anee, to find out which of them will fill the bill | in this otherwise purely business transaction. ‘The house with a big dining room or at least one large and a smaller one, is in a great deal more demand than the mansion with a ball room attachment. Of course, the latter isa great accession, for it can be used as a banquet hall alsoon grand oceasions, and very frequently is, but the need of u fairly sized dining room and a smaller room on the first floor that can be utilized for the «ame purpose is what nearly all the new official families who are looking here for houses are trying to secureif itis | possible. A sarcastic young lady, who made | her debut in society a few years back, said that | after one winter's experience that she had never seen a drawing room over-crowded, but | never had been in a dining room that seemed large enough to accommodate the gueste. Her theory was that if space waa limited drawing rooms could be much decreased in size without any serious inconvenience, and that dining rooms should be made instead the great | room of the house whereentertuining was to be a feature. A good many older heads by reason of longer experience have reached precisely the same conclusion, and wherever the house- | hunting problem is discussed here one hears the same Idea talked over. Secretary Cariisie’s wife has lived al her life till she came to W: ington in x double house. She thinks that is the only comfortable way to build a house, and only wishes that she had just sueh a liome here. Her K strect house has, however, one excellent merit, it opens up well, and it is pofsible to have a iarge company in it without inconvenience. It is not likely that it can be put to any more serious test than it has beea other winters, for her receptions have been the most popular in the senatorial circie. Still she only wishes that she bad twice as much house room for her visitors and guests. Mrs. Carlisle tell a good story of one reception she Id two winters ago, when, as the visitors kept coming in and none were leaving, even the lulls were crowded. Seintor Sherman was amoug the callers at this jancture. He got in- side the door, and then, finding that his pro- toward his hostess was likely to be very went part of the way up the stairs, and where he conld see and be seen over every one’s liead enid in a loud voice: ‘ood afternoon, Mrs. Carlisle. I want to put it on record that I did call this afternoon and to «ay how sorry I | am that I cannot get any nearer.” Mrs. Carlisle has put her house in summer trim. The furniture ix robed in white, ard the varlors look cool and inviting. Neither ths nor bis wife is much afraid of a They have been here throug’ many long summer sessions, and know how to be comfortable, no matter how high the | mercury gets. Still they would get away if they | could, bat the most they can prom selves for the present are over-Sunday trips to the resorts within short distance. ‘The visitors out to the President's country home have a grent' deal to say about the at- tractiveness of ite decoration and furnishing. Mrs. Cleveland cannot but be greatly gratified | with the ruccess she has made of it. The fur- | miture from her New York house looks very | much at nome in its new quarters, and with the addition of many old-fashioned pieces. more particularly im keeping with the style of the old mansion, the result has been even | more than was hoped. The ladies, how- ever, who visit there are not so charmed with the excellence of eneb piece of furni- ture as they are plensed with the tastefnl ar- rangement and the whole effect produced. It is the little things artistically placed that have wrought the wonder and whieh have completed in the mental vision of. every calier a fascinat- ing pieture to carry aw: ‘The Postmaster General and Mra. Bissell are feeling very much at home in the K street house. They like sunshine in a house and they have it. Mrs. Biseelt brought on all the furni- tnre from Buffalo, and so far has not tried to do more than to put ber house in comfortable summer trim. The finishing touches will not | be given to it until after her retnen next fall, but she has so many elegant articles of furni- (ure and bric-r-brae that her house is already quite the envy of the cabinet families who are pot yet settled. Mra. Bissell likes antique fur- niture, the genuine antique, not the kind likely to be offered for sale in a rhop, but only to be had after diligent search in the okt homes i jorned. Mra. Busell and her baby daughter will go away Tuesday for the summer | months. | Attorney General Olney will go to Masen- chusetts off and on during the summer to be with his wife, who is now at their country place. Mrs. Hoke Smith and her young family will spend the warm weather in Virginia, at rome point where the Secretary ean Visit them over Sunday. It must be a great relief to the Spanish in- fanta that, being transformed into the Duchess of Montpensier, she can bave a good time now in her own way without being billed ax a star attraction day after day. She leaves this co try on the 24th for England, where she wili represent the queen regent at the marriage fes- ities of a possible King of England and the | Princess May. The week before sailing she | will spend at Newport, where che can meet many delightful representatives of that New York society of which Commander Davis suid he knew little and eared leas, but for which the infanta bas exprested the most cordial liking. The Duke and Duchess of Veragua are also in New York, where they are conducting them- selves with the same dignity that bas character- ized their every movement since they came to these shores. They will not go home till after the royal party has started, but when they do it will be with the rame thorough appreciation of the hospitality that has been shown them at every point.

At this meeting the formal acceptance by the Rev. Dr. Arthur C, MeGiffert of the Washburn pro- fessorship of chureh history was received, and also tho acceptance by the Rov. William Adams Brown of his appointment as instructor in sys- tematic theology.” WHAT AN ANTI-BRIGGS MAN SAID. The Rev. Dr. Charles 8. Robinson, who bas always been a notable figure in the New York presbytery as an opponentof Dr. Briggs and his followers, said to a reporter of the Times concerning the action of the presbytery on Monday “Since this Briggs embroilment has come on, for the last three years or so, Union Seminary its allegiance to the highest govern- ing body in the church and has tried hard to tery of New York into its re- spirit was shown in ite latest and most strenuous development ut the last meet- ing of the presbytery, held last Monday, by an effort made by Dr. Francis Brown of Union to induce the presbytery to refuse to accept the decision handed down in the Briggs case by the general assembly. “The real venom and animus of Dr. Brown's action was not clearly brought out in any printed report which TI’ have seen of the pro- ceedings at that meeting. In the first place, the Briggs party had made an effort to pack the meeting. The Rev. Geo. S. Webster, who iw atsocinte pastor with the Rev, Dr. Melivaine of the Church of the Covenant, had previously sent a letter around among own party say- ing that very important business was to come before the presbytery at that meeting.and urg- ing everybody to attend. Now. a copy of this fetter fell into the wrong hands. Sam Alex- ander—the stated clerk of presbytery, you know, who isn'ta Briggs man by any means— got one ot these valuable documents, and he Tead it aloud to the presbytery on a question of privilege. Mr. Webster was there, and he felt very uncomfortable. He was much embar- rassed and grew very red, but then it was very hot weather, and I suppose he suffered from the heat of the room. “Anyhow, they got out their cohorts, and they had a majority sure enough, But the mi- nority beat them dott py banging on to what inciple we dared not disre- gard. What it was proposed to do was flat re- bellion-aguinst our highest court. Dr. Brown introduced’a great, long memori: the gen- erai assembly, and——here is the vital point-—a little clause was tacked on worded this way: ‘That in the meantime, in view of the consider- ations which have been adduced, this presby. tery defer the entering upon its record of the judgments of the assembly.’ \ meantime?” Why, » , What was the whole year. This memorial could uot reach il its next annus the general assembly and ‘nieantime’ the presbstery of New te York wus to refuse to receive the judgments of the chareh’s highest court and enter them on its record.

Whatever may have been afd about Froebél and. his teaching in his: lifetime, there is no doubt that the so-called kindergarten system of teaching is extremely popular nowadays in many countries. Nevertheless, Mr. J. H. Bridges, in the pages of the Positivist Review, ventures to sound a note of warning against a too implicit reliance upon the methods there adopted, ‘The mental training of the young child as carried on from the beginning of the world, he says, has consisted till riow in infinitely va- ried exercises of hand, eve and ear, taught by y with other children and animals, and en- | nvened by the child's own fancies and dreams.
