Music Indoors and Out Last Night at Corcoran House—Personal Mention. From a society standpoint the week has been intensely interesting. The Curzon- Leiter wedding created a great deal of the pleasurable excitement which has thrilled not only the social body, but thousands of people who have never seen either of the high contracting parties. Considering the great public interest which the event arous- ed, and how particularly each and every move has been discussed, the good taste which characterized all the arrangements, and the facilities afforded those who were responsible to the public for the details of the event, have rarely ever been surpassed. ‘The fair bride wanted a very simple cere- mony, and if all her wishes had been car- ried out it would have been conducted on a much quieter scale. None of these occur- rences are likely to be singular in method, and the query is now who will be the next to follow the example so well set forth. The absence of gloves on the bride’s hand created a small sensation, not so much, of course, amongst those who saw her as those who did not have that pleasure. The sleeves of her princess robe, how- ever, had pointed cuffs, which, with the frill of lace under them in the old-fashioned style, covered half of her hands anyway. It was really a good fashion to set, in the commencement of the warm weather, and not only for brides, either. Certainly there are none, however, who might with greater propriety omit the wearing of gloves, as the left one is usually more or less mu- tilated to allow the putting on of the wed- ding ring, and-the right hand is generally obscured by the bouquet or prayer bock, whichever happens to be carried. Another fond delusion in the way of honeymoon observances was also done away with, by the fact that the couple were quite willing to have their friends witness their happi- ness, and therefore had company at many of their meals up to their departure yes- terday. This was greatly appreciated, for Mr. Curzon came with a reputation for delightful social traits, and naturally his wife’s friends were glad to be able to really meke his acquaintance. The wedding rifts wilt be all the evidence his English friends will want of the popularity of his wife ut her own home. So many of the presents were duplicated that it will take a private mark to remember the particular donors. Mrs. Cleveland’s silver vase was one of nine, all different, to be sure, and none are therefore likely to be forgotten by the re- cipient. The bride is also credited with having received twenty-three smelling bot- ties, of all sizes and descriptions, and sg- gregating a small fortune in value. So it was with many other small but costly gifts. Miss Bertha Brodt, daughter of Mr. Wm. Brodt, has returned to her home, 419 11th street northwest, after a year’s absence traveling in Europe. ~ The entertainment to be given by Dr. J. M. Toner at his spacious residence, 1445 Massachusetts avenue, to mark the com- pletion of his seventieth year, is of more than ordinary note. The breakfast to the surviving members of the Medical Associa- tion of the District of Columbia who be- longed to it at the time he was admitted to membership, will be followed later in the afternoon by a card reception. Invita- tions have been sent to all the members of the Medical Association, as it exists at present—about four hundred in number, Including: lady practitioners—to enjoy the poepitey ity and” cheer for which the doctor 4s. justly noted. Mrs. O. M. Poe of Detroit is the guest of Mrs. Tittmouse, at 1019 20th street. Mr. and Mrs. Antonia Leon and children, accompanied by her sister, Miss Grace Darne, left today for a few months’ stay in New York. The Misses-Andrews of 605 G street have had as their guest Mrs. Hopkins of Can- ada, formerly’ Mrs. Thomas of this city. Mrs. Frank Alley of Newburyport, Mass., and Anna Bragdon of New Albany, Ind., are the guests of Miss Stevens of Capitol Hill. The engagement is announced from Bos- ton of Miss Julia Porter of Niagara Falls and Mr. Van Rensselaer Thayer. Miss Porter is a sister of Mrs. Clarence Ed- wards and has been here every winter since she made her debut. She is very popular in the smart set. Mr. Thayer is a grandson of the late Nathaniel Thayer, from whom he inherited several millions. He is a Harvard graduate and a member of several New York clubs, as well as in Boston. This engagement has been gener- ally discussed in society here, and the wed- ding, It is said, is among the early possi- bilities. Miss Voorhees will sail for Europe next asain accompanying her uncle, Min- ister Risley, back to his post, in Denmark. She will be abroad all summer. The marriage of Miss Kate Hopkins and Mr. Horace Wylie will take place Tuesday at St. John’s at noon and will be followed by a breakfast. The wedding trip will be to Europe. Mr. Plunket Green sang last night for the guests of Senator and Mrs. Brice. Early in the evening a band played in the garden, and at 11 the scene changed to the music room, where the barytone was heard to advantage. Later on there was danc- ing. The company was entirely made up of thore most frequently seen at Corcoran House, and the evening was one of great pleasure: to-them. Mrs. Hearst sails for Europe today, and is accompanied abroad by the two young girls whom she has partly adopted. She in- tends to establish them in Paris with their governess before starting on her summer travels. Mr. William Hearst will join his mother next month. ‘The marriage of Mr. William Halliday Somerville of this city and Miss Carrie Hal- Geman Jacobs of Reading, Pa., took place at Christ Church in that city on Thursday last, and was an important social event. The chancel was decorated with Easter lilies and palms. The wedding procession was headed by the ushers, Thomas J. Fisher of Washington, D. C.; Edward H. Jacobs, brother of the bride; George F. Hagenman, esq., and D. Pierson Hoff. The bride came in with her father, J. Howurd Jacobs, esq. She was gowned in white satin, with pearl bodice, and trimmed with chiffon and orange blossoms. She wore a veil caught up with orange blossoms, and carried a bouquet of white roses with long satin streamers. The bridal party were met at the altar by the groom and his brother, Thomas Somerville, jr., who offi- ciated as best man. Rev. Dr. Orrick per- formed the ceremony. A wedding break- fast followed at the residence of the bride’ parents, where the house was handsomely decorated. Among the guests from this city were Mr. Thomas Somerville, father of the groom, and Mrs. William Somerville. A very large number of handsome and costly gifts were received. The present to the bride from the groom was a beautiful pendant of diamonds and pearls. Another was a check for $500 from the brothers-in- law of the bride. The couple have gone on a wedding tour to New York, Boston and other pcints. Upon their return here they will take up their residence at 727 13th street northwest. The marriage of Miss Sallie Rohrer of this city and Mr. Chas. M. Mitchell of New. York takes place at the home of the bride Monday morning.

From §:30 to 10:30 the little ones had complete Sway over the proceedings, but after that the older folks took a hand, and kept the ball rolling until midnight. Every child on the floor was in masquerade costume, a the scene presented was varied and pleas- ing. They were of all ages and sizes, and they enjoyed themselves to the full limit. The affair was opened with a grand march, in which all the children took part, and then the music changed time successively to waltzes, two-steps and other enjoyable dances, and the little feet kept as good time to these as they had in the march. Refresh- ments were served to them before they gave up the flocr to their seniors, and then they were sent home, while the latter stayed and enjoyed themselves still further. — Planked shad dinners every Sunday at Marshall Hall.
