BACHELORS’ COTILLION GREAT SUCCESS The Luncheons Today Were Feasts Amid Flowers. THE LATEST ANNOUNCEMENTS ————— Mr. John W. Thompson and Miss Thomp- son were host and hostess of a trilliant re- cepticn last night. Their splendid home on I street, which is so elegantly appointed and so filled with artistic souvenirs from all parts of the world, fine pictures and bronzes, and everything else that can de- light the eye, has been since*the return of Mr. Thompson and his daughter from their trip to China and Japan again enriched with gorgeous embroideries and rare curios, both gifts to them and purchases from these countries. The fine statues in the deep bay windows of both the library and drawing room stood out perfectly, with the background of fine palms. In the dining room, which was cpen the whole evening, the table was decorated with pink orchids. Champagne punch and other refreshing beverages were in the library and halls, and, indeed, at every step the guests found some thoughtful provision for their pleas- ure and comfort. The host and Miss Thompson received in the front drawing room, the latter wearing a superb gown of white moire antique, and was assisted by Mrs. William Gormley of Rochester, N. Y., who is spending several weeks with Miss Thompson; she wore light gray moire and lace. Mr. and Mrs. Ross Thompson also pleasantly assisted in the hospitalities of the evening.

It was a pink ball, pink hangings covering the walls and draping the windows and making a background for the clematis vines that were trailing over it. Plucques of laurel adorned the spaces between the windows. The stage was set with palms and plants and was a most effective setting for the whole scene. The favors, which were, as usual, a plentiful supply of flowers in corsage bouquets and boutonnieres and some Gainty Parisian fancies in the way of pink hats and stars, made a piece of deco- ration by themselves. ‘The chairs for thir- ty of the season’s debutantes wcre arrang- ed together at one end of the hall. The president of the club, Mr. William Hall Slack, was not on hand to do the honors nor to hear the admiring comments on his perfect management of the details of the event and the success that attended all his efforts, but Mr. Jesse Brown represented him and presented the guests to Mrs. Wal- lach, who was the hostess of the evening. General dancing began at quarter-past 9, and as punctuality is one of the virtues of the club, th? cotillion began promptly at 10, It was led by Mr. Clifford Richardson, who danced with his wife. The toilets were absolutely fresh, as always happens at the st balls of the season, and everybody was in just the mood to thoroughly enjoy the occasion.

Bad weather is not such an unmitigated evil sometimes, for it helps conversation mightily, which otherwise might fag just a little, and gives visitors a better chance to enjoy a chat with their hostess. Mrs. Gresham received in her own parlor at the Arlington, assisted by her daughter, Mrs. Andrews, who will re- turn to Chicago today, and her niece, Mrs. Fuller. Mrs. Carlisle had a pleasing group of ladies, and an inspiring cup of tea to offer them. She was assisted by Mrs. Egenton of Kentucky, Miss Beckner, Mrs. William K. Carlisle of Kentucky, the Misses Ham- lif and Miss Helm, while Miss Queen and Miss Katherine Riggs presided at the tea table. Mrs. Lamont’s reception party was large- ly made up of army ladies, and her after- noon was an exceptionally pleasant one. Most of her recent guests at her evening reception were making their party cails, and every room seemed crowded. Mrs. Outhwaite, Mrs. Biddle, Mrs. Tucker, Mrs. Rawiles, Mrs. ‘Thurber, Mrs. Bradbeer, Mrs. Whipple, Mrs. Babcock, Mrs. Morgan, Mrs. Kernon and Mrs. Blair Lee, with Miss Breckinridge, Miss Aline Wilcox, Miss Katherine Willard, Miss Gray, Miss Kountze of New York and Miss Lindsey Poor, were assisting. Mrs. Bissell was charmingly assisted by her guest, Mrs. Sawyer of Buffalo, who arrived the day before to make her a visit; Mrs. Spaulding of New York, who is on for her usual winter stay; Mrs. Fitch, Mrs. Tracey, Mrs. McAdoo and Miss Tardy, and with such cn agreeable hostess and assistants, all prolonged their stay beyond the usual limits. Miss Herbert was assisted by Mrs. John Davies Jones, Miss Edes, Mrs. Rush, Mrs. Clark, Miss Pendleton, Miss Sherrill, Miss Ruggles and Miss Fyite, her guest. The rooms were prettily decorated. Mrs. Olney was assisted by Mrs. Clifford Richardson, Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Binney of Philadelphia, Miss Curtis, Miss Nichols, Miss Kennedy and Miss Harlan. Miss Morton, one of the most interesting of conversationalists in the cabinet circle, had the pleasant assistance of her young friend, Miss Cressy of Detroit, who just arrived yesterday to make‘her a visit. Miss Rose Frances Keech, daughter of Mr. William D. Keech of the Baltimore county bar, was married last night to Mr. Henry Swann Selden in Trinity Church, Towson, which was prettily decorated for the occasion. The ceremony was perform- ed by. Rev. W. H. H. Powers, rector of the church. Miss Keech entered the church accompanied by her father. She wore a white satin gown, trimmed with silk-em- broidered tissue and orange blossoms. Her tulle veil was fastened with crange blos- soms, and she carried a bouquet of bride roses. The maid cf honor was Miss Lily Keech, sister of the bride, who wore a gown of pink corded silk, trimmed in em- broidered chiffon and ribbon, and carried pink roses. Mr. Griffith L. Johnson of this city was best man, and Dr. Wm. L. Wirt of this city, William H. Warain of RBalti- more, Hammond _ Dor: of Howard coun- ty, and W. S. Keech, jr., brother of the bride, were ushers.

If all the rumors be true the Japanese minister has prepared a series of most delightful surprises for his guests to- morrow night. It will be a party in real Japanese style. The members of the cabi- net will accompany the ladies of their families, but the company will be other- wise entirely made up of the gentler sex. The friends of Mr. Charles S. Johnson of this city will be sorry to learn of the death of his ‘niece, Miss Louise Sweet Corwine, daughter of the late Mrs. Quinton Corwine, formerly of Washingtcn.

The Fund is Now in a Sad State ot Depletion. The police pension fund is in no better condition now than it was a few weeks 2go, and unless Cungress comes to Its re- lief the pensioners will continue to suffer. Through the efforts of Chief Clerk Sylves- ter the pensioners were paid 60 per cent of their November pension money, and now they will receive about the same propor- tion for the month of December. This money is made up of $241 from the sale of abandoned property, $150 from the police took and the balance from fines and re- wards. ‘Tickets for the police ball to be given rext week are being sold, and the police hope to realize enough from this source to keep the fund going for a few months on the short allowance. The tickets are 50 cents each, and are for sale at the police stations and by the officers on their beats. , The police book, which was managed by” Chief Clerk Sylvester, has thus far netted more than $4,000, which has been applied to the payment of ee DIED. 1895, at 8 a.m, arraher. street On January 9, LEN, widow of Thomes 1 from her late residence, 816 6th southwest, Friday, January 11, thence to St. Dominic's’ Church, where ‘requiem high mass will be sung at 9 o'clock a.m. 2 CLEMENTS.
