PINK ORCHIDS, ROSES AND FERNS The Second Bachelors’ a Brilliant Event. E Ec E i E THE CABINET RECEPTIONS Mrs. George Westinghouse entertained a company of ladies today at a breakfast, which was in reality the daintiest banquet and the most elaborate daylight floral fete ever seen in this city. The hospitality extended to such a distinguished party was in honor of Mrs. Charles Gibson, wife of Senator Gibson of Maryland. The ladies sat about a circular table, spread in the banquet hall of the Arlington. The spacious room was set with palms, the deep recesses of the windows banked with them, the mirrors sprayed with wild clematis, and a generally beautiful effect of green attained. Over the table the ceiling was canopied in green, and the chandeliers were garlanded with aspara- gus vines. From one to the other aspara- gus garlands were stretched, dotted with orchids. = 4 The great center of the table was a bed of maidenhair fern. Two pineapple palms reached up to the chandeliers, flanking an enormous cluster of pink roses, nodding on their long stems. The bed of ferns was dotted over with bunches of pink orchids, and at regular intervals round the outer edge were the candelabra. ‘he tapers burned under pink orchid shades, and each candelabrum was the center of a cush- ion of maidenhair fern, studded with pink orchids. Around these points bunches of Hamburg grapes and all the sweetmeats were grouped, only cut-glass dishes being used, so as not to interfere with the car- rying out of the color scheme in green and pink. Each of the ladies’ places was marked by a sash of wide satin ribbon, mignonette shade. Each had three stiff loops, and on one end was stamped in raised gilt letters the monogram of the hostess, and on the other the name of the guest. This end, longer than the other, reached over each cover. Between these ribbons the cloth was sprayed over with bits of fern. An orchestra played through- out the meal. The company sat down at 1 o'clock. é: The ladies invited to meet Mrs. Gibson were Mrs. Perrine, Lady Paune€fote, Miss Carmen Vorf Saurma, Mi Romero, Mrs. Mendonca, Mr3.

The Rifles’ Hall was draped in that color, the stage was festooned with it, and the lights shone through yellow shades. The stage was set with palms, and supper was served there. ‘The walls were sprayed with wild clematis vines, and placques of laurel were set be- tween each window. The flower favors, in which the Bachelors’ Club are always generous, were banked near the stage. Those for the ladies were in baskets. The other favors were souvenirs, yellow satin muffs, with long ribbon streamers, with the club monogram stamped on them. For tho men there were lapped decorations. Mrs. Brice, elegantiy gowned in black satin and point lacs, and wearing superb diamonds, received the guests. The cotiilion began about 10, and was led by Mr. Charles L, , with Mrs. Chatfield Taylor. The president of the club, Mr. William Hall Slack, was, as usual, the throne and the power bebind it in making all the ar- rangements for the ball, which was a brilliant. success, but hls presence was misse4 from the gay scene itself, the other gentlemen of the committee being the hosts of the event.

The following Uquor applications were allowed at a meeting of the excise board yesterday afternoon: Wholesale, John Madigan, 438 Monroe street, Anacostia, D.C.; George H. Gray, 9 Monroe street, Anacostia, D.C. Improvement of 12th Street. William H. Sanders of 1407 F street has Joined in the request of Mr. E. H. Fowler to make the improvement of so much of 12th street north of Lincoln Park as may be done with the amount appropriated, $12,- 000, a permanent one. The grading and regulating of this street, says Mr. Sanders, will cnly continue a muddy thoroughfare in winter and a dusty one in summer. Pav- ing the streety-for any one or two squares between East Capitol strect and Maryland avenue, he says, would greatly improve abutting property and indicate the inten- tion to continue such work for the full length. A temporary improvement like the cne contemplated, he concludes, was made cn the north side of Lincoln Park, which resulted in no material advantage until the Street was concreted. Sewer in Le Droit Park. W. A. Gwyer, jr, of 2005 5th street writes to the Commissioners requesting that such action be taken as will provide for the drainage of 5th street between Elm and Spruce streets, Le Droit Park. A large area of territory about the Howard University Hospital, he says, is drained through the hall grounds, and thence to the sewer on Spruce street, by surface drairage, on the east side of 5th street. He requests that the necessary inspections and improvements be made, for the public interests, before the melting of the snow causes serlous damage to the property in that vicinity. The matter has heen referred to the engineer department for investiga- tion. Resignation Accepted. The resignation of Mrs. Alberta Barry as matron of the Girls’ Reform School has been accepted by the Commigsioners, and Mrs. Nettie Marshall has been appointed to fill the vacancy. Building Permits.

Horning, one brick dwell- ing at 1403 F street northeast, to cost $3,000; Jerry Meycrs, one frame dwelling on Sheridan avenue, Barry Farm, to cost $300. A Letter just to hand says: “Itis Tay bin a needless for pea buf! Me tO EX- uit) press my high opin- ion of tk Pearline, ‘ and that no clean family lives without it.’ Thousands of letters come, praising Pearl- ine, but they don’t all put it so strongly. Wewouldn’t want to, ourselves. We don’t say that things can’t be madeclean without Pearline. But we do say that things can’t be made clean with so little labor and so little damage by any other means. And we want to say that, loudly. Millions use Pearline. Only a short time ago they rubbed and scrubbed and fussed in the old-fash- ioned way without it. Beware of imitations. 436 JAMES PYLE.
