Representative Pickler of North Dakota has consented to deliver the oration at Grace- land cemetery. The pcem to be read at the Soldiers’ Home will be from the pen of Rep- {resentative Thomas Dunn English of New | Jersey.

Indeed, it would be considered a very unin- teresting we2k in this city which was not Seasored by a charitable entertainment. Monday's garden party will be given at Mr. John R. McLean's grounds, “Holmead,” corner of 19th street and boundary, from 4 to 7, for the benefit of the Children’s Hos- pital. It has been hestily gotten up, but | will be none the less fascinating for that. It will be a flower fete, and Mrs. E. Francis | Riggs, Mrs. 8. 8. Howland, Mrs. Leiter and | other ladies have it in charge. The tea tables will be —— by Mrs. Townsend, Mrs. Ramsey, Mrs. , assisted by the Misses Brice, th Patten, Miss Cameron, the Misses Wallach, Mrs. Frank Riggs, and Miss Leiter will have one flower table, Mrs. Howland another, the Misses Brice will have the lemonade and sherbet bowls and Mrs. McGuire, assisted by a/ number of young ladies, will sell ice cream, cakes and candy. The Marine Band play, and nothing will be omitted that a) add to the attractions. So much for char- | ity, upon which next week's curtain rises. Tuesday Mr. and Mrs. John R. McLean will welcome their friends to their new country residence, Beauvoir, Woodley Lane, at an afternoon garden party. Wednesday the first of the Country Club teas will take place, and Thursday, among the other open-air attractions, Miss Gwynn will give a tea at the Golf Club, Fort Myer Heights. Mrs, Smith, wife of the Secretary of the Interior, is making a systematic effort to return the calls made upon her last winter. Last week she was able to lessen her itst by 500 Tames, a rather phenomenal record, but to do it took every afternoon from 2 until 6 | o’clcck. Of course no visits were long, and the great majority of those called upon were rot at home. Still, the good will was manifested all the same, and with this great stride made in the list Mrs. Smith hopes to finish it up before she leaves the city for the summer. Secretary and Mrs. Smith will leave town the first of June for a short trip together down in North Carolina, and Mrs. Sm‘th and the children will remain all sum- mer scmewhere within easy reach of this city. so that the Secretary can visit them frequently. Excepting 10 give the children the. benefit of the country air and the freedom of outdoor life, Mrs. Smith says she would not leave Washington at all dur- ing the summer, for no matter how hot it may be she is accustomed to much greater heat at her home in the south, and so she need not leave town on that account. Madame Bahkmetiff recently entertained at her home in Athens, the king and queen | of Greece and all the royal family and scns of distinction at their court at a very beautiful reception and fete. The occasion followed after court functions of more than usual elaborate character, of which @ mu- sical fete was part. At this fete a number of the best singers joined in one song, dedi- cated to Apollo, which had not been ren- | dered for hundreds of years, some authori- ties saying two thousand years. At all events, the last audience to hear it thought very highly of it, and the singers were also among Mme. Bahkmetiff’s guests. Bessie Kibbey of this city was also a guest at the fete, of which most glowing accounts nave reached their mutual friends here. Senator and Mrs. Carey gave an opeza | a, last ee in ered of Mrs. Neilie rant Sarto: Among their guests were Mrs. L. B. Webb, Maj. and Mrs. Tucker, Mr. F. A.

Work among young men by young men fs the aim of the organization known as the Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip. There are several chapters in this city, and just mow the members are taking active steps to have the next biennial convention of the brotheshood meet in this city. An invite- tion will be extended to the Federal Coun- cil to decree the next convention, in the fall | of 1895, to convene here, with good hope of its acceptance, At any rate the next con- ference of the local union of Washington and Baltimore, to be held early im the com- ing fall, will meet in Washington, and prob- ably at the Western Presbyterian Church. Thelast convention, which convened in New York city the past fall, was addressed by such men as Anthony Comstock, Rev. H. Parkhurst, D. D., Rev. C. L , D. D., Rev. John Hall, D. D., “Father Endeavor” Clark and Gen. 0. O. Howard. To Reach Young Men. An appreciation of the importance of work among young men might be said to most prominently characterize the modern pro- gressive church. Experience has proven that young men ere most directly >eached and influenced by young men; that for thi peculiar work special methods, marked by practicability and attractiveness, are requi- site; that ing appealing to as the spirit- ual make-up must be devised. To this end, six years ago, Rev. Rufus W. Miller, then Pastor of the Second Reformed Church of Reading, Pa., conceived of and organized the Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip. As a proof of it being an answer to the oft- repeated question, “What shall we do with our young men?” ft is sufficient to state that it exists in eleven different denomina- tions, representing nearly 200 chapters, with nearly 5,000 members, beside a great num- ber of societies, which have organized along distinctive brotherhood lines, but have | failed to report to the federal council, which | is the highest governing body of. the order and mode up of delgates appoinfed by the varicus denominational councils. One of the federal council resides in Washington, Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis, the new pastor of the Western Presbyterian Church, who is also a member of the Presbyterian coun- The badge of the order is a small button bearing a red star outlined in orange on a background of black, the letters B. of A. and P. occupying the spaces between the points of the star. The colors are deeply significant of the hurd religious and po- litical struggle of “the church under the cross” during the reformation. Chapte>s are found in such distinctive churches the Marble Collegiate, New York city; Bethany Presbyterian, Phija- delphia; Berkeley Temple and Phillips Congregational, Boston, and in Washington in the Western Presbyterian, First Congre- gational and Eastern Presbyterian, while several are in process of formation. An example of the elasticity and scope of the local chapter work may be obtained in the topic card of the chapter at the first named church, containing unique devotion- al meetings, literary, musical am talk” night, and “invitation night,” attrac- tive for addresses by prominent men upon timely topics of science, exploration and travel. On Sabbaths @ badged “vestibule committee’ welcomes strange-s at the dcor, and the brotherhood ushers show them to seats. Saturday evenings a “hotel committee” extends to strangers invita- tions to service on the Sabbath. Slincuenstiiiviiiaecnenee / WORKING GIRLS’ CLUBS.
