A NURSE GIRL neglected the child in Central Park and the little one was drowned. A FATHER was so busy he had notime to think of himself, and so common symptoms ran into a fatal disease. A MOTHER was so absorbed by her children that she did not notice her own danger until it was too late. A MILLION people neglect and delay, when, if they only realized, their whole happiness and very lives are at stake. A PAIN in the back, Lassitude, Melancholy, Faintness, Irrita- bility, Prostration, all indicate a serious kidney difficulty. A HEADACHE, Coated Tongue, Irregularities, Cold Feet, Weak Pulse, Constipation, unmistak- ably prove deranged kidneys or liver. A DELAY or neglect at such a time may mean everything— may mean life or death, A PROMPT use of the only standard remedy for such troubles, Warner’s Safe Cure, is the part of wisdom. “A WORD to the wise is suffici ent.” Are you one who can accept a timely suggestion and hence avoid the Consequences of Neglect?

RESO reer oe THE DIPLOMATIC RECEPTION ———.- ---— Some of the Handsome Toilets and Some of the Guests. a OTHER SOCIAL GAYETIES oS The diplomatic reception last night at the Executive Mansion was a brilliant event, presenting a scene of unexampled interest to those who watched it for the first time, and fulfilling the expectations of those to whom diplomatic and all other receptions are an old story. As usual, the mansion was made bright and beautiful with flowers and lights, and a little novelty was intro- duced into the palm decoration of the east room by the ingenuity of Mr. Hoover, the electric light man, who had placed amid the shining greens a number of starry lights under red, white and blue globes. The idea was taken from the effect produced on Baby Ruth's Christmas tree, and was much admired. The reception vegan promptly at 9 o'clock. At that hour the red parlor was | packed with the members of the diplomatic corps, and the corridor and east room with other guests. In all the history of evening levees it is doubtful if ever before the com- pany arrived a half and in many cases three-quarters of an hour beforeliand. Col. Wilson and Capt. Pitcher led the way for the presidential party down to the blue room, President and Mrs. Cleveland walking together, followed by the Vice | President and Mrs. Stevenson and the members of the cabinet and the ladies who | accompanied them. | After the receiving party had taken their positions the British ambassador paid his respects to the President, followed by Lady Pauncefote, the other three ambassadors and ladies or the members of their embas- sies and then the ministers and their par- ties passed in swift succession down the | The showy uniforms of the gentle- men, the splendid toilets of the ladies made | a brilliant scene as the corps passed in re-| view before the ladies of the cabinet. Un- til the corps had passed behind the line the | Vice President and the cabinet officers were | alone there, save for the presence of Mrs. | Cleveland's guests, Dr. Wood and Miss Helen Benedict. Owing to the fact that Mr. Thurber stood on guard at the end of the line the blue room did not become crowded at any time during the reception, | although the company there kept constant- ly changing. The most brilliant part of the reception during the evening nearly every person of note or prominence at some moment held a levee. Here fine uniforms and elegant toll- ets and flashing gems showed to some ad- vantage, where at times the crowd was not too dense to allow promenading around and where in every corner the chairs and di-| vans wer® pulled together by those so for- tunate as to reach them first, and in the possession of which found themselves very | much envied. From # until ten minutes of 11 President | and Mrs. Cleveland shook hands almost without interruption, except the few halts now and then for a minute's rest. The! temperature of the house was*very agree- | able, though the President evidently found | it hot work, inasmuch as the perspiration frequently rolled down his face. The wife of the Vice President and the cabinet la- dies shook hands with every one who offer- ed theirs. Just before the clock in the hall pointed to 11 the President, offering his arm to Mrs, Cleveland, escorted her rest of the receiving party, and made a circuit of the east room and then through | the corridor upstairs. It was long past midnight when the last of the guests left the house, not entirely be- | cause they wanted to stay that long, but | because it was impossible to reach their car- riages any sooner. The diplomatic corps, the cabinet, the justices, &c., came to the! mansion by the southeast gate and were | quickly whirled away again from the south portico. The weather, that had seemed anything but propitious early in the evening, im- proved, and the guests elther walked or were driven home under a starlit sky. i It was a white night so far as ladies’ gowns were concerned, many cf the more! elegant toilets being in that colur and of a variety of materials. Mrs. Cleveland wore white satin, trimmed with fine duchess lace. The waist had the low, rounded effect about white satin nearly covered the front. | Sleeves of point lace were draped over the| drooping satin puffs, and cascades of the lace fell from waist to hem on each side of| the front breadth of the skirt. She wore a{ diamond bandeau of solitaires, and, in the} center, a diamond star. A diamond rose! Mrs. Stevenson also wore white monet antique, with sleeves of magenta vel- vet, and a bertha of point lace, and some) fine diamond ornaments. \ Mrs. Gresham was in white moire with! goid lace insertions, Mrs. Carlisle wore! beliotrope, _brocade-trimmed, with rose point; ‘ers. Lamont was in white moire an- tique with trimmings of geranium velvet, and a ruffied bertha of point lace; Mrs. Bi sell wore pale blue brocaded satin and sleeves and waist trimming of deep pink chiffon; Miss Herbert was in white satin that had a deep bertha effect of chiffon bor-! dered with pale blue ribbons around the shoulders; Mrs. Smith wore light blue bro- cade with silver braid and point lace trim- ming, and Miss Herbert was in black moire} antique with point lace. Among the ladies of the diplomatic corps whose tollets were noticeably elegant were Lady Pauncefote, whose gown of olive vel- vet was dashed ‘with panels of light bro- cade; Baroness Fava, black moire with deep shoulder trimming of orange velvet em- IT 1S SURELY COMING. ‘The Question is: “Are You Prepared?” If Not Some Very Valuable Advice is Volunteered.

He said: “I think we will have a grip epidemic soon, and there are indications that it will be a long sleze. While I do uot want to create a scare, I would warn people to beware of it and to use all the precautions possible. Experience has shown that carelessness in habits and irregular hours render the system too weak to stand so violent a disease. Grip finds easy victims in old people and in debili- tated persons."” There is but one thing for any man, woman or child to do when the slightest symptom of zrip appears, and that is to counteract it at once. If you feel tired, have pains in the muscles and bones, have a dull headache, a bad taste in the! mouth, are feverish, no ambition or appe- tite, you must, if you desire to escape the grip, health, at once take # good pure stimulant.

Mrs, Stevenson gave a beautiful luncheon today at 1 oclock at the Normandie in honor of Mrs, Cieveiand. Mrs, Stevenson received her guests in her own private parlor, and the way to her dining room was through the haliway, which was lignt- ed by clusters of electric lignts and adorned with palms. In the smaller parior adjoin- ing the dining room a guitar and mandolin orchestra played throughout the luncheon. The dining room was decked with palms and plants. The table was prettily set and decorated. There were covers for eighteen around the square board, and decorations were entirely in green and white. | A bed of maiden hair ferns made a large | square, in the center of which stood a vase filled with long-stemmed bride's roses. The! ferns were framed with a border of olive green ribbon and fringe of a deeper shade resting smoothly on the damask. The ladies found at white roses.
