UNIVERSAL MENDING ©0., Room 4, 1114-16 F st. mb9-tr THE WORLD OF SOCIETY Spring Millinery is Commencing to Exert Its Usual Influence, : The Two Important Weddings of the Easter-Tide — Other Timely ‘Topics for the Month. - Spring is on hand again despite the wintry winds today, and millinery openings are ten times as fascinating as any other diversion that could be possibly arranged. The crocuses are six inches above ground and trees are budded in many localities. All these are reasons for the languor and lassitude permeating society and making everybody unwilling to stir himself. From all appearances this is going to be a very reasonable t of Lent, and the j temptation to do more than attend a few children’s birthday parties will not be fre- quent. The effort to stir up some interest in the necessity for a Mi-Careme ball is 1 laudable, but it is doubtful if it will suc- ceed. Three or four hostesses have been named, as well as Lady Pauncefote, but as no event of the kind 1s ever likely to con- flict with a hospitality at the British em- bassy, it is useless repetition. Society would, of course, like nothing better than for Mrs. Hearst to be hostess of Mi-Carem2, as she was of Shrove Tuesday, and it may so turn out. The Leiter-Curzon engagement was the event of the week. The coming so close to- gether of two international alliances is a coincidence even a little unusual for Wash- ington. As already announced, Miss Leiter will be an Easter bride. The marriage of Miss Lowery to the Duke of d’Arcos, Span- ish minister to Mexico, is.also arranged for tae spring, but the date is not yet settled upon, nor can it be until the duke can re- turn from the City of Mexico, where only this week he presented his credentials. Visiting every fine afternoon now is car- ried on much more assiduously than was possible during the winter months. The re ceptions are entirely informal, but all the more delightful for that reason. From the number of householders who intend remain- ing here till the warm days of June, the gaycties after Easter will show up welk as a finish to the winter record. Mrs. Cleveland has been entertaining a few friends at lyncheon and dinner every day since the President left town, and on her afternoon drives is usually accom- panied by a lady friend. Yesterday Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Spaulding were out driving through the Soldiers’ Home, and had the pleasure of bowing to a good many acquaintances, who were also tempt- ed out by the bright sunshine. Mrs. Per- rine returned last week to her home in Buffalo, after her two months’ visit here. Lady Pauncefote and her daughters are going abroad in April to remain for the summe}, and the British ambassador may follow his family later. Miss.Sybil Pauace- {ote has been devoting herself to her music studies all the past winter in Dresden. It is a pleasant announcement to make that ex-Senator and Mrs. Manderson have not yet left the city, but are still at the Cencord. They will remain here until March 15, and then make a short visit in Philadelphia end New York, returning to Omaha, their home, about April 1. Mrs. Blackburn will leave tomorrow for her home in Kentucky. Miss Lucile Black- burn went on Tuesday to Chicago, where she will visit with friends. Later on she is going abroad with a party of Cincinnati friends to spend some months in travel. Miss Pauncefote was the guest last night of Mrs. Henry Sloan at the opera in New York. A pleasant entertainment was given by the Faith, Hope and Charity Circle of the King’s Daughters at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Meyers, No. 1209 10th street northwest, last evening. The program, which was under the direction of Miss S. P. Bailey, included two instrumental trios by Misses Bailey, Dulin and Gonsalus; an instrumental quintet, by Misses Moran, Ulke, G.lfilom, Williams and Master Mer- win; piano solos, s Birdie Mitchell and Miss Smith; two quartets, by Messrs.
