The company at “Clifton” yesterday a’ ternoon participated in an entertainment which, like the wedding festivities of Baron Bodisco, whose bride, too, was a lovely American girl, will be talked about for many years to come. If the weather had been made to order a more satisfactory combination of spring verdure and summer temperature at the same time could not have been manufactured. The picturesque surroundings of the spacious home where the French ambassador and his bride bave been spending their honeymoon are not sur- passed by any estate in this vicinity. Com- Paratively few of the guests knew that such an ideal spot existed anywhere near this city. From the porches around the house, and, perhaps, better still, from the | highest points on the lawns, ‘the view of the capital city and surrounding country makes @ panorama of great interest and beauty. jt was a pretty sight, for one reasoa, be- cause it was quite an unusual one, to watch | the splendid equipages rolling up under the | Porte cochere, and their well-dressed occu- | pants alighting at the opened door. | ane hostess received in the secona araw- ing room and presented a picture of charm- | ing young womanhood. Mrs. Patenotre has | durk hair, beautiful eyes, and a face seen at | its best when in an animated conversation. | Characteristic of her disposition was the | gown of light blue silk and chiffon which she wore to meet for the first time the crit- }ical eye of society assembled. She was more simply gowned than any of her guests, Accenting her welcome, came that of the French ambassador, upon whom congratu- | lations were showered for his good fortune in winning such a charming wife. The pleasurabie Interest which so many en- was amply gratified and the first impression was certainiy a most successful one. Mr. | De Commines, Capt. and Mrs. De Grand-| prey and Mr. Jules Boeufve of the embassy | were ail present. While the host and hos-| tess were always surrounded, most of the | company soon found their way to the veran- das, and then to the lawns, where, sepa- rating ir couples or groups, for strolls to |the furthermost points, the extensive grounds were soon dotted over and every part took on life and animation. Refresh- ments of every seasonable delicacy were served from a flower-decked table in the dining room and ice chilled milk, lemonade and punch on the veranda. The toilets worn by the ladies were sug- | gestive of a July garden party at Saratoga. | Nearly all were light, and the majority of | | the most striking were sprigged muslins, | flowered organdies and lawns, trimmed | with lace-edged flounces and frills. | Among the hundreds of guests who en- | joyed the event were Secretary and Mrs. Gresham, Mrs, Lamont, Mrs. Bissell, Mrs. Hoke Smith, Miss Morton, Mrs. Harriet | Lane Johnston, Minister and Mrs. Romero, Mr. and Mrs. Goschen, Senator and Mrs. Brice, Miss Brice, Minster and Mrs. Zebal- los, Mrs. Slater, Mrs. Richard Townsend, Mrs, Dolph, Minister and Mrs. Lazo Arri- aga, Minister and Mrs. Guzman, Mrs. Stew- art, Mrs, Bessie Stewart, Miss Stewart, | Mrs. and the Misses Mendonca, Represent tive and Mrs. McCreary, Mrs. Blackburn, Col. and Mrs. John M.

The Georgetown Convent Alumnae Asso- ciation held its second annual meeting and Shi luncheon today at the Shoreham. The meet- ing was cailed to order at 11 o'clock by the | | president, Mrs. William Tucker, and in the exchange of pleasant greetings, friendly confidences and schoolday reminiscences, a great deal of what was briefly ness, was accomplished. The pra. ished up at the meeting last May, a year | ago exactly today, that there is little now | for the association to do in following up the | | lines then planned. One of the subjects un- der discussion today was the endowment of |a scholarship in some college or convent, | to which the surplus revenue of the society | will go. This idea met with generai ap-| | proval. ‘The association is thriving in every | way. New members have been a®ed dur- ing the year, and none of the first entha- siasm has been dimmed. After the business was over the ladies listercd with delight to an address by Right Rev. John J.
