The children are going to have a Christmas tree, put up in the accepted style of the old mansion in the lbrary, or the plan may be varied and the tree fixed up in the nursery. Baby Esther is not sup- posed to be interested in Christmas tree preparations, unless she is differently con- stituted from other young ladies of the tender age of four months. Not so with Baby Ruth. She is far advanced in the knowledge of horticulture that produces trees full of sparkling gems and twinkling lights and her eyes will be gladdened by just such a scene as has delighted other White House children in years gone by. The White House florist is the magician who will set this wonderful plant to growing and the electrician of the mansion will see to it that countless twinkling gems will sparkle between the branches. Although Ruth has enough toys and dolls to stock an ordinary shop there are a few more things her baby mind fancies and these will form the new collection, of which she can make havoc, if she so pleases, on Christmas morning. The presence of their children will make this holiday time at the White House a new experience for the President and his wife. They will cele- brate Christmas, however, in the usual way by having a friend or two extra at luncheon and at their late dinner. The latter meal, which will be the great occasion of the day, will be served at the customary hour in the private dining room, which will be embellished with_all the floral arrangements suitable to the season. Mrs. Stevenson. The Vice Presidential household will spend Christmas and the rest of the holidays in this city in the attractive surroundings of their apartments at the Normandie. The Vice President and Mrs. Stevenson have their eldest daughter now with them, and she will remain until after the holidays and ther return to ber studies at colleg. Mrs. and Miss Scott, sister and niece of Mrs. Stevenson, will spend the winter here and at the Normandie. On Christmas day these will make up a_ family party. Mrs. Stevenson will receive on New Year day at the hotel directly after she returns from the White House and again on Wed- nesday, January 3, and on the rest of the Wednesdays throughout the season. Dur- ing the latter part of January Mrs. Ste- venson will give a reception in honor of the Daughters of the Revolution, of which society she Is president general. Mrs. ‘The Secretary of State and Mrs. Gresham will spend Christmas out of town. On New Year they will entertain the diplomatic corps at a noon breakfast at the Arlington. Gresham. Mrs. Carlisle. The Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs. Carlisle will have their usual family gather- ing for the holidays. Mr. and Mrs. William Carlisle of Chicago and their three young children will be here for Christmas, and it 1s more than likely they will remain most of the winter. The Carlisles will in all probability have a friend or two to eat their Christmas turkey and fixings with them, but, excepting that, are looking forward to having but little interruption to the usual routine of the day, enlivened, as it will be, with three frolicsome grandchildren in the house. Mrs. Lamont. ‘The Secretary of War and Mrs. Lamont are going to have their usual homé celebra- tion, of which their children provide the keynote. There will be a Christmas tree, of course a gorgeous affair, in the nursery, around which the family will gather to witness the pleasure of Frances, the young- est of the flock, The accumulation of toys in general and dolls in particular in the Lamont play room is pretty extensive all the year round, but the holidays have added enormously to the collection—that it has become just a little trouble for its posses- sors to find their way amid their belong- ings. Mrs. Lamont will have her young cousin, Miss Grace Sanders of New York, to spend the winter with her, and it would be hard to find a young lady who will make a more attractive guest. Many of Mrs. Lamont’s friends met her during her visit here last March. Mrs. Lamont, her daugh- ters, Bessie and Julia, and Miss Sanders will be home tonight from New York, where Mrs. Lamont took the little girls to have one great day of fun in visiting the stores. Mrs. Bissell. The Postmaster General and Mrs. Bissell contemplate just about the same kind of a home Christmas celebration. They are goimg to have a Christmas tree for little Margaret, who has now reached the ma-| ture age of two, and has opinions on doll babies, Christmas trees and other inciden- tals to human happiness that would be well worth repeating. For the holidays, and especially for a Christmas celebration, Mrs. Bissell has in her mind nothing but a plain, Ne hioned time, with plenty of happi- good cheer and plum pudding. Later along she will have guests, and from now on until the season closes the home of the | Postmaster General will be a hospitable center for all their friends. Mra. Olney. ‘The Attorney General and Mrs. Olney have gone to Boston, where they will re- main a few days after Christmas. ‘The Secretary of Agriculture and his sis- ter, Miss Emma Morton, are hoping to have two ef the former's sons and their wives and families here to spend the holidays with them and to enjoy the New Year fes- tivities, but they cannot be certain of their coming until the last moment. If this wel- come addition is made to the family group at the Portland the Secretary and his sister will have a very jolly Christmas. The Sec- retary has always made it a custom to reach his sons on Christmas day, if it was at all possible, and has often traveled hun- dreds of miles to enjoy that satisfaction, although the stay he could make was gen- erally limited. Mrs. Smith. The Secretary of the Interior and Mrs. ‘| Smith also contemplate a quiet home cel- ebration with their children. Unfortunate- ly, because of their recent illness, the chil- | dren cannot have a good time with their | little friends, to which they have been ac- customed, and for this reason the Secretary and his wife have arranged extra pleasures for them at home. Miss Herbert. The Secretary of the Navy and Miss Her- bert have in mind a regular old-fashioned southern Christmas, with plenty to eat and drink, and a welcome and a bright fireside for every friend who drops in. Miss Her- bert has invited a number of friends to as- sist her on New Year day at her reception. Mrs. Cleveland has had Miss Benedict of New York as her guest during the past week and the two ladies drove out very frequently together in the victoria. During the past few days a number of ladies, wives and daughiers of Senators and other offi- cials, were invited by Mrs. Cleveland to receive with her on New Year morning be- hind the line, as is the long established custom. The senatorial tended. Mrs. Stewart had a very large re- ception, most of her last Saturday's guests coming to pay their party calis. Mrs. Mc- Millan had a number of callers also. Mrs. Sherman was at home, although quite informally, to caliers, and her visitors not only enjoyed the pleasure of a chat with her, but had also a good chance to admire her splendid new home, which is now elegantly furnished and adds another to the number of spacious senatorial homes. Senator and srs. Cameron have taken possession of their home on Lafayette square, which, in the process of rebuild- ing and redecorating, has been entirely transformed in appearance. ‘What with teas by the dozens and terra- pin at three of them hand running, dances every other night, a wedding or two and three or four very swell meetings of cabi- ret members and their wives and other big guns around each other's mahogany, the past week has been hilariously gay for the great majority in society. But while the well folks have been whooping it up in this way, the sick ones have been whooping on another tune, and with that willingness with which society meets and conquers every other emergency, somebody suggests that somebody else give convalescent break- receptions on Thursday | afternoon were numerous and largely at- | | | fasts now and then. A good many would have answered a social roll call the past week from their pillows. Conversation on the grip ought to be sternly frowned down, for whether or not the disease is catching, talk about it certainly is depressing, and especially so to its victims, At a conva- lescent breakfast the menu need not be ex- tensive, provided it ii good fruit, good broths and beef tea, with fine old port and milk punches for those whose livers covld stand such a shock, and it would be an affecting little attention if there were souvenir boxes of quinine pills for the guests to carry home. Ten to one, the recipient would want them before night. Principal among the events of the past week were Miss Margaret " break- fast last Sunday, at which, Prince Galitzin of Russia, Madame Romero, Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. Bessie Stewart, and a few others were guests, the debut tea of Miss Grace Condit-Smith on Monday, and Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle’s dinner for the Vice secon and Mrs. Stevenson on Tuesday ni The same night Mr, and Mrs. A. A. Wil- | Son gave a dinner in honor of the Secretary of War and Mrs. Lamont. Mrs. Richardson Clover gave a tea on Tuesday afternoon that opened up in a de- lightful way the hospitalities of her beauti- ful home and besides introduced to her friends her young cousin, Miss Miller of California, who is here spending the winter with her. The house was most artistically decorated with the finest flowers, and Mrs. Clover had assisting her Miss Lowery, Miss Javie Riggs, Miss Sherrill, Miss Birdie Greer, Mrs. T. B. M.

The hostess was superbly gowned in white satin, spray- ed over with rosebuds,and Miss Miller was in the prettiest of white and pink flowered chif- fon. A mandolin orchestra played through- out the reception, and the house never look- jed more attractive. Diplomatic, resident | and official society was well represented in | the throng that filled the rooms for several | hours. Representative and Mrs. McCreary will give a dinner party tonight at the | in honor of the Secretary of the Treasury | and Mrs, Carlisle. | Next week juvenile entertainments are rather more numerous than those for grown- up folks. One of the most joyously antici- | pated of all the children’s balls at this; season—that usually given by Mr. and Mrs. John R. McLean for their young son—will this year be omitted, and in the name of the manly little fellow his parents have given to the poor the money that they would otherwise expend on this hospitality. Some of the events of the coming week |are Mrs. McLanahan’s dancing party on |Tuesday night, Miss Cockrell’s debut tea, | Mrs. Mattingly’s dinner and the pink coat |ball of the Chevy Chase Hunt Club at Wormley’s on Wednesday; Mrs. C. M. Matthews and the Misses Matthews, a tea; |Mrs. David Smith and Miss Helen M. |Smith, a tea, and Mrs. Richard Wain- | wright, a tea, at which Miss Wainwright | will be introd , on Thursday; Mr. and |Mrs. Hartwell Cragin’s party ‘for their daughter, Miss Helen Cragin, and Mrs. John Howard White's dancing party on Friday, and Commander and Mrs. Reeder’s tea in honor of the debut of their daugh- ters on Saturday, December 30. Miss Catherine. Fuller, daughter of the chief justice, will spend the winter in Egypt with friends, while Miss Jane Fuller is in school in Paris. The young ladies went abroad nearly two months ago with friends. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Ely of New York ar- rived in the city this afternoon with their daughter to spend a portion of the holiday season with Mrs. Ely’s sister, Mrs. J. Whitehead, 2016 R street. Mrs. Silas W. Lamoreaux, wife of the commissioner of the land office, will be at home the Tuesdays in January at 920 15th street. Mrs. Parker Mann will be at home on Thursday afternoons in January. Mrs. Gorion, wife of Senator Gordon, will receive on ‘Thursdays in January at 918 15th street. Miss Caroline Gordon, who |has been visiting friends in New York the |past month, is expected home today and | will remain during the winter. | Senator and Mrs. Dolph will give a dinner |Party on January 3. | The invitations for the Bachelors’ ger- |mans are out. The first will be given on | |the evening of January 3 at the Rifles’ ‘Hall. Mrs. and the Misses Leiter held their first reception in their splendid new home last Tuesday. Mrs. and the Misses Brice have returned | to Corcoran house after spending a very de- Ughtful fall in the west and more latterly in New York, where they were prominent in all the leading social events of the early season. They were calling themselves last |Thursday and so many visitors to their home were disappointed in not seeing them. | There is a rumor, and a very pleasant one, | that one of the very earliest events in Jan- uary will be a ball at the British embassy. The Postmaster General and Mrs. Bissell enterteined a company at dinner last night to meet Mr. and Mrs. Seth Barton French. The other guests were: The Secretary of | State and Mrs. Gresham, Secretary of the | sury and Mrs. Carlisle, Attorney Gen- jeral Olney, the Mexican minister and Mme. Romero, First Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral Jones, Representative and Mrs. Draper, Mr, Curtis, Miss Campau and the guests of the house, Mrs. Cary and Miss Love of | Buffalo. The table decorations were in white and green. There were an oval cen- ter piece of ferns and cut glass bowls of | white carnations at either corner. The tapers in the silver candlesticks had white |silk umbrella shades, over which asparagus vine made a feathery veil. Invitations are out for the pink coat ball to be given by the Chevy Chase Club at Wormley’s, December 27. Admission will be by card only. Mrs, S. H. Kauffmann has out invitations for a li dancing party to be given next Friday evening. Madame Bahkmateff has sent from Athens two beautiful Greek dolls, dressed in the national costume, as a bride and groom, which she intended as a gift to the ladies interested in the dolls’ bazaar. The dolls were too late in arriving, unfortu- nately for that successful event, but the ladies are determined to make them add a little more to the sum raised at the bazaar. Mrs. Preston Sends and Mrs. Mc- Guire are personally interesting them- selves in the raffle of these beauties, and chances can be secured from them. No | more seasonable charity can be thought of at this time than the Children’s Hos- pital, and there is no doubt but that every one who sees the dolls will at once want to own them. Mrs. Ralph Cross Johnson, jr., will be at home to her friends the Saturdays in January. Mrs. Chas. Payson, who has lately re- turned from Europe, will shortly give a tea, at which her daughter will be intro- duced to society. Nora Rose Pepper, the little daughter of | M>. and Mrs. Chas. M. Pepper of R street, entertained her young friends at a Christ- mas party Friday evening. Dancing was the chief amusement until supper. Then, after the refreshments, the Httle guests, decked out with gay caps, were treated to a surprise. The table was cleared of every- thing except a huge “Christmas pie” which filled the center, with bright ribbons falling on the sides. All were invited to take a ribbon at the end and hold ft until the hostess, Miss Nora, mounted a chair and re- cited “Little Jack Horner.” At the words “pulled out a plum” all were told to pull. The result was startling to the little ones, for they found themselves the possessors of various pretty toys, each of which would make a noise. The remainder of the even- ing was very jolly, and the children carried home with them pleasing tokens of a merry Christmas. Among the guests were: Mas- ters Clifford White, Leslie Prince, Harry Munn, Willie Graham, James Maynard, Horace Maynard, Charles Gordon, Tom Mc- Neir, Fred. Low, Sidney Low, Robert Wynne, Vaughan Rice, Hoyt Moses, Harold Dewitt, Arthur Dunn, Sidney Kent, John Stone, George Tucker; Misses Marie Prince, Mary Endicott, Louise Endicott, Margaret Munn, Helen Munn, Ruth Graham, Blanche Hubbell, Jeanne Stone, Margaret Stone, Ruth Lang, Crete Hatch, Ida Wynne, Kath- erine Brooks, Mary Gordon, Ethel Prince, Gertrude Fry, Edith Fry, Katie Pomeroy, Catherine Potter, Ruth Wellman, Rose Wellman, Rea Wellman.

Gen. and Mrs. Albert Ordway have re- sumed housekeeping at 1614 Rhode Island avenue.

The foot ball game between C. A.

The game will commence promptly at 2 o'clock, and all arrangements have been made to make the occasion a very successful one, not only from the point of view of the players, but for the spectators as well. The two teams are hard at work prac- ticing for the great game, and both are confident of winning, so at least a sharply contested game may be looked for. BE. O. Wagonhurst will umpire the game, and Sam King will officiate as referee. Arrangements have been made to provide accommodations for carriages and coaches without charge for space. The general admission has been fixed at 50 cents, and seats will be reserved in left-field stands.
