Where the Movers in the Fashionable World Met Yesterday—Latest Announcements, The following is a list of dates of recep~ tions, ete., at the Executive Mansion during the season of 1895: Tuesday, January 1.—President’s recep- tion; 11 a.m, to 2 p.m. Thursday, January 3.—Cabinet dinner. ‘Thursday, January 10.—Diplomatic re- cepticn; 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. Thursday, January 24.—Diplomatic din- ner.

Thursday, February 14.—Army, Navy and Marine Corps reception; 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. Thursday, February 21,—Public reception; 9 p.m, to 11 p.m. Society yesterday proved itself made up of wet weather friends. The two debu- tantes of the afternoon were congratulated and admired by long lists of their own and the acquaintances of their parents, in spite of the fact that the weather was of the kind that usually has the faculty of lessening perceptibly the attendance at afternoon gatherings. Lieut. Commander and Mrs. Rush gave their young daughter her coming-out tea in the Alibi Club, and it was @ great success. Most of the com- pany had not before crossed its threshold, and therefore found every foot of their progress up and down stairs full of in- terest. Mrs. and Miss Rush received in the front room, and the fiowers sent the debutante, to the extent of dozens and dozens of superb blossoms, filled the old- fashioned settle near where they stood, and besides made a bank of beauty round the mantel shelves. Mrs. Rush wore black moire antique and lace, and Miss Rusb the prettiest of white muslins, and carried a bunch of roses. The host of the occasion was here, there and everywhere, looking after the pleasure and comfort of their guests, Assisting in entertaining were Mrs. Francis &. Loring, Mrs. Jeffrey Parsons, Mrs. Blair Lee, Mrs. W. S. J. Stewart, Miss Hagner, Miss De Peyster, Miss Belknap, Miss Poor, Miss Kennedy, Miss Edith Pat- ten, Miss Ramsay, Miss Bainbridge-Hoff, Miss Justine De Peyster and Miss Keats Rodgers. The married ladies took turns at the refreshment table, which was spread upstairs, amid the rustic simplicity of Alibi farm, the pleasing illusion "into which the two rooms on this floor have been converted by the aid of scenery on the walls, a well and its old oaken bucket, and other properties. Among those present were Secretary and Miss Herbert, Mrs. Micou, Mrs. Wm. H. Clagett, Miss Clagett, Mrs. Clif Perrin, Admiral and Mrs, Ram- say, Lieut. and Mrs. T. B. M. Mason, the Misses Patten, Mr. and Mrs. De Peyster, Dr. and Mrs. Bispham, the Misses Mull: Assistant Secretary and Mrs. McAdoo, Miss ‘Tardy, and hundreds of others. A party of friends were present from Baltimore and Philadelptia, in both of which cities the debutante has a large family connection. ‘The debut of Miss Emily Thomas, daugh- ter of Commander and Mrs. Thomas, was another delightful affair. Their home on Farragut Square, softly lighted and adorned with flowers, and filled with agree- able people, was in pleasing contrast to the outside gloom. Mrs. Thomas’ gown of blue bengaline, with gold passementeries, was a dainty foil to the toilet of the attractive young debutante, who wore white silk mull over white silk trimmed with ruffles, bordered with narrow satin ribbon, She earried a bunch of Cornelia Cook, American beauties, jacques and blush roses, and the dozens of other floral souveniys of the event sent by friends cov- ered the mantels and grand plano, Miss Wainwright, Miss Rochester, Miss Adams, Miss Johnson, Miss Woodward, Miss Ram- sey and Miss Sampson assisted in receiv- ing. In the tea room Mrs. Townsley, wife of Lieut. Townsley, U. S. A. and Miss Simpson, sister of the hostess, did the honors, the former serving the chocolate and the latter maraschino, which is frozen fruit, the latest novelty in the way of re- freshment. ‘The table decorations were in white and green, the center piece being Cornelia Cook roses and maiden hair. Among those present were Secretary Her- bert, Miss Herbert, Mrs. Micou, Gen. and Mrs. Rochester, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Glover, Miss McCeney, Mrs. Bloomer, Admiral and Mrs, Ramsay, Mrs. Fred.
