At = Siexert & Sons, gists. It seems to be a general conclusion that society has had plenty of entertainment the past week. Dinners and luncheons were numerous, teas, receptions, musicales and dances followed each other in swift succes- sion and hospitality seemed to know no stint. The only thing which now grows into an irksome duty is the making of afternoon | calls, and it was noticed the past week that fewer ladies were out than usual making the rounds. On Thursday the wives of most | of the older Senators omitted their recep- tions in respect. to the memory of Mrs. Cockrell, a tribute which she herself never failed to show'to those to whom sorrow and bereavement had come. President and Mrs. Cleveland will have broken bread in every cabinet home ere the short season closes. Tonight they dine with Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle, on Tuesday | with Secretary and Mrs. Lamont, on the; 28d with Secretary and Miss Herbert, later on with Secretary and Mrs. Smith and the Postmaster General and Mrs. Bissell. The Attorney General and. Mrs. Olney had in-! tended to dine them week after next, but ' the date of the latter’s return from Boston being so indefinite it will probably be given much later. Among the leading entertainments for next week will be: Monday—The second cotillion of the Bach- elors’ will be given at the Rifles’ Armory. Tuesday—Mrs.. Romero will receive at the Mexican legation at 3 o'clock. Mrs. Ruggles | will give a tea, 4. to 7. Mrs. John Cresswell Heald, a tea, “4 to 7.

One of the most elegant luncheons of the winter was given today by Mrs. Charles Chester Bassett, in honor of Mrs. Carlisle, wife of the Secretary of the Treasury. The ladies invited to meet her were Mrs. Smith, wife of the Secretary of the Interior; Mrs. ; Romero, Mrs. Blackburn, Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Manderson, Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. Outhwaite, McAdoo, Mrs. Caruth, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. and Miss Lester, Miss Noyes, Mrs. Breckin- ridge of Arkansas, Mrs. Price, and Mrs. ‘Tom L. Johnson, Mrs. Washington and Mrs. Brewer, wife of Associate Justice Brewer. The flowers used were of orchids and a prettier arrangement could scarcely be im- agined. .At each end of the table was an oval placque of orchids and lilies of the valley. The centerpiece was of embroidered silk muslin over satin the shade of the orchids, on which rested a cut-glass can- delabra with white tapers and orchid | Shades. The corsage bouquets at each place were of orchids tied with ribbons of the same shade, The orchid effect’ was carried out in the individual creams that came on in the shape of little fancy hats trimmed with natural lilies of the valley, and falling from each hat was an orchid in cream. The Mexican minister and Mrs. Romero gave a dinner party last night, at which Senator and Mrs. Dolph, Justice and Mrs. Brewer,’ Senator and Mrs. Teller, Senator and Ms. Sherman, Lieut. and Mrs. Clover, Mr. and. Mrs. Mattingly, Mr. and Mrs. Lazo Arriaga, Mr. de Weckerlin and Mr. Murua- ga were the guests. Mrs. Chas. G. Dulin will be at home next ‘Tuesday to her friends, but will net receive Tuesday, January 22. Tonight Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle will give a dinner in honor of the President and Mc>s. Cleveland. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Chester Bassett will give a card party tonight in honor of Miss Lester of Georgia. The Misses Strong entertained a party of ladies at a luncheon last Wednesday, and will give another the coming week. Miss May Huddleston of New York has arrived at the White House to spend the rest of the winter with Mrs. Cleveland. This young lady formerly made her home there and at Osk View with Mrs. Cleve- land’s motrer. Mrs. Miller, who is spending the winter here with her daughter, Mrs. Touzalin, will next week have Mrs. Adams of Philadelphia | to spend some time with her, during the ab- sence of Mrs. Touzalin and Miss Corkhij! in New York. A lady has addressed the following com- munication to The Star on a subject which will interest others: “In other cities, upon receiving an invita- tion to a ‘tea,’ which is, of course, consid- ered the least ceremonious form of enter- tainment, if through indisposition or other | cause one is prevented from attending,cards to the lady extending the invitation, sent on the day, and during the hours designated, are considered all sufficient, the card repre- senting yourself. The obligation is dis- charged, and nothing further expected from the person invited, the next call being due from the person giving the ‘tea.’ I find here, though, a diversity of opinion. A lady | Sends out cards for a ‘tea,’ and very prop- erly considers them equivalent to a call, but | why a return card should not be generally | accepted as a call returned is rather puz- | zling, for I find that while many accept it | as such, others are quite offended if a per- | sonal call is not made after tea, as upon | more ceremonious occasions. The view taken of a card being equiva-! lent to _a_call is right in theory, but some-/ j times difficult in practice. The custom ‘of | sending cards during the hours of an en-| tertainment is proper and commendable, ; but it is not so generally observed hee in , the rush of a winter as in other places. It) | 1s also customary here for any one who has | not been able to attend an entertainment given by a person whose acquaintance is valued, no matter whether it is a tea or a | ball, to ake the first occasion of calling ‘and expressing regrets. Tea calls are | customary, but not obligatory, and eacn | one must settle the question for him or her- self. Teas in this city are rather more ceremonious occasions than elsewhere, for two-thirds of the hospitalities offered take | this form, and many families desiring to \invite in large numbers can do so in no | other ‘way. because of limited house roum. | The Geramn ambassador has cards ont | for a reception on the evening of Saturday, January 27, at 9:30 o'clock, to celebrate the | birthday of his majesty, the Emperor of Germany. Mrs, Van Wyck, wife of ex-Senator Vau | Wyck, greeted a large number of her friends yesterday with her old-time cordial- ‘ity in her cheery apartments at “The Port- land.” She was assisted by Mrs. and Miss Brodhead. Mrs. William Matthews Lay and her son have returned to Washington and are at the Richmond. The shock from the death | of her husband, who was so well when he saw them off at the steamer, and the mis- fortune of having broken her ankleyn the outward voyage have completely prus.rated her. Mrs. C, C. Cole will not be at home on Monday next. Mrs. James Edgar Smith will be at home Monday _afternocns in January and Febru- ary, at 78 I street. Mrs. Andrew B. Graham of 16th street will be at home the remaining Wednesdays in January. She has as her guest Miss Katharine Ruck of Baltimore. The Unity Club was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Bacon on Wednesday evening last. The meeting was opened by a piano solo by Miss Anna May Bacon. In! the program there was a piano | i John ‘Thornton Wood, 318 East Cap- Py arlodae « epgeehenctenama: Arrangements for the Charity Ball, on the evening of the 30th instant, are being con- summated as rapidly as the circumstances of the case permit, and already tickets enough are engaged and in such quarters as to insure both the financial and social success of the entertainment, which prom- ises to be in every way one of the most delightful of the series. Mrs. Robert Edward Wilson will receive with Miss Richardson, daughter of the Representative, at the National, Monday, January; 15, from 4 to 7. Assistant Secretary of the Interior and Mrs. Reynolds arrived from Bedford, Pa. Wednesday, and have taken apartments a’ the Normandie for the winter. Mrs. Rey- nolds will not receive for the present. A pleasant eucnre party was given last Friday evening by Miss Charlotta Veiten- Mr. Arthur D. Mayo, and the paper of the evening, entitled “The Literature of Pro- verbs,” was read by Mr. A. R. Spofford, in which he cited numerous old and new pro- verbs as far back as the ancient Greeks and Romans. An interesting literary and musical program was then given. Among those present were Claudia Moore, Mr. Charles Legare Mahon, Miss Atwater, Miss Huddleson, Mr. and Mrs. Tower, Mrs. D. P. Voorhis, Geo. C. Gwynn, Dr. Klemm, Mr. and Mrs. H. V. Colton, Mrs. D. C.
