For several years past the receptions wivaéw by thd National Geographic Society have been among the most delightful enter- Yainments of Washington's social season. They have been occasions when society and science bayg¢,joined hands for the time be- ing, and the results have been gatherings typical of Washington life. The fourth annual reception of this fa- indus’ organization was given last evening .at the Arlington, and about 500 people who are well known for what they are and for what they have done, filled the great par- ,lors, for, several hours and enjoyed the festive occasion to the full. The decora- tions of the suite of parlors and the great banquet room were fully as elaborate as any seen here this winter. The parlors were set off with mammoth palms, and in the banquet room, where an elaborate collation was served, the scene was one of regal beauty.- The mirrors which lined the walls were draped with huge clusters of wild smilax, and the chandeliers were hung with the same dainty strands of green. The recesses of the windows were banked up solidly to the ceiling with palms and other potted tropical plants, and the supper table, which was set at the upper end of the room, had for its centerpiece a huge cluster of. marguerites and blooming aveleas, set off at.either end by great burches of American beauty roses. What with the handsome women and elaborate gowns, the brilliant lights and the beauti- ful flowers, {t was an occasion which will cng linger pleasantly in the minds of those who are so fortunate as to be the guests of the National Geographic Society. As the guests entered the second of the suite of parlors they were presented to the ladies of the reception committee,who stood in line near the great doorway, and ex- tended a cordial welcome to all comers. .The members of the committee who so ‘kindly aided with their presence and friend- ly offices were Mrs. Chas. J. Bell, Mrs. Chas. W. Dabney, jr.; Mrs. B. E. Fernow, Mrs. Chas. M. Ffoulke, Mrs. Mark W. Har- rirgten, Mrs. Everett Hayden, Mrs. George Hearst, Mrs. Robert R. Hitt, Mrs. Theo. W.

Wil- son, Miss Herbert, Miss Kauffmann, Miss Newcomb, Miss Sigsbee, Miss Thompson, Miss Vilas, Miss Walker. ch of the ladies of the receiving party carried a beautiful long-stemmed American beauty rose presented by Dr. David T. Day, chairman of the committee of arrange- ments. The introductions were made by Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard, president of the society, assisted by a number of his fellow members. The hours for the reception were from 9 to 12, but, as usual with such entertain- ments, it was near 10 o'clock before the guests began to arrive in force. Among the guests were many people whose pres- ence gave an added luster to the occasion, m and women who are eminent in science, Hterature and art. Among the guests were Secretary and Mrs. Lamont, Col. and Mrs. John M. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. George Kennan, the Mexican minister, the Japanese minister, Mr. K.

This pleasing fancy gocs for those who necd no great weight of convincing arguments where a question of their amusement and social appearance is concerned. The program for the day and evening Is delightful. No doubt about that. Mrs. 8. S. Howland’s tea, Mrs. Froulke’s reception and the co- tillion at the British embassy are all events calculated in anticipation even to make Mi-Careme @ memorable date. The dance at the embassy is in honor of Miss Audrey Pauncefote, whose debut tarked the early winter. The younger set in society alone are asked, with a full rep- resentation of the men of the diplomatic corps with dancing proclivities. While not entirely @ small and early, the hospitality has leanings that way. It would be a great hit if Lady Pauncefote could present the new Hons of the embassy in persons of the English honorable and the Irish duke who are shortly to arrive. It is understood that the majority of the bachelor secre- taries and attaches of the embassy are engaged to American heiresses, and these newcomers will receive a welcome calcu- lated to give them vivid impressions of American courtesy to foreigners. Another international engagement 1s shortly to be made public. The young lady in question is the eldest daughter of a western Senator, whose magnificent en- tertaining is synonymous with great wealth and social importance, and the happy in- dividual who has won her affections is a member of the British embassy. The de- votion of the couple has been very evident during the past winter, and the smiling acquiescence of the parents of the young lady, who is intensely popular wherever she is known, has strengthened the belief that society will assist at the wedding be- fore it commences to scatter in June. Mrs. & Eiseman, 1740 Q northwest, will not be at home tomorrow. The P. P.
