A notable ceremony took place today at noon at the French embassy. The infant daughter of the French ambassador and Mrs. Patenotre was baptized by Monsignor Satolli in the presence of a gathering .of diplomatic and other intimate friends. The ceremony occurred in the main drawing room, where a pretty shrine and font had been erected and appropriately decorated, as were the other rooms, with flowers and palms. The sponsors for the baby were Cardinal Gibbons, who came” over from Baltimore especiaRy for this event, and Mme. Patenotre, mother of the ambassa- cor. The watter being at her home in France, was represented by Mrs. Clement de Grandprey, wife'vf the military attache of the embassy,’who held the little one dur- ing the ceremony. ~ The name conferred upon the baby is Louise Juliette. Mr. and Mrs. Elverson, parents of Mrs. Patenotre, were present. After the baptism, the com- pany, which consisted of about forty or fifty guests, was entertained at breakfast. The French ambassador and Mrs. Paten- otre are going to France in June to spend the summer. Mrs. Patenotre will then see her husband’s relatives for the first time. The weather this week has had a depress- ing influence cn social life in itS out-of- door phases, taat are always such an im- portant feature at this season. It has given plenty of opportunity for the thor- ough discusstori of what has occurred in the way of big events and occasioned no end of speculative gossip over what may occur before the world is many months older. The unexpected has been having rather the call in recent Occurrences, but the current will soon change and the usual even routine will be resumed. It is much better so, The more startling things are one week, a more bewildering series of surprises is expected the next, and plain people with plain ways of doing things are apt to get lost in the shuffle. A fair percentage of the April brides found their husbands among Washington men. That is an encouraging sign of the times, but somehow or other the weddings which created the most hurrah were just the reverse. Mr. and Mrs. Curzon will reach their English home in the height of the London gayeties, and it is more than probable that they will be very much in evidence throughout the season in town. Mr. and Mrs. Grant are not likely to bother themselves to any degree with fashionable life while abroad, as all the sights of travel will be new to the handsome bride, who’ will see taem for the first time. Miss Herbert intends to remain abroad all summer, and will be entertained at vari- ous points in her travels by American of- ficials. She will go straight to London upon landing, and will be presented at one of the late drawing 1coms by Mrs. Bayard, and will probabiy not leave London till the gayeties wane there. It is her first trip abroad, and just at this time ought to be a most interesting one. Lady Pauncefote and daughters expect to sail for Europe on the 22d, and again spend the summer abroad. Mrs. Dupuy de Lome arrived in New York, from Spain, on Wednesday with her children. The family will occupy the pres- ent Spanish legation, on L street, as soon as it is ready for them. Mrs. and the Misses Larner gave a de- lightful couple of hours to their friends yesterday afternoon by entertaining them at a tea, where the special guests of honor were Mr. and Mrs. Winfield S. Larner, who were recently married in Boston, and who have just returned from their wedding trtp to Asheville. Miss Larner presented the guests to Mrs. Winfield Larner, who met her new friends with charming grace, and who looked most attractive in her becoming gown of blue. moire and chiffon. The oc- casion brought together a very interesting company, made up largely of the younger acquaintances of the family, and was full of pleasing welcome to the young bride. Mrs. Grant went to New York today, where she will make a visit with her son, Col. Fred. Grant. The chances are that she will speni the summer at Saratoga. Mrs. Sartoris will remain here a few weeks longer before starting north. Mr. and-Mrs. Thomas Wilson gave a de- lightful dinner of twelve covers last even- ing. Mrs. Van Nostrend of New York arrived in the city a day or two since, and is the guest of Mrs. Gen. Van Vleet. Mr. and Mrs. George H. Harrington have returned from their bridal trip, and are spending the month of May with Mr. and Mrs. Gadsby. Mrs. Harrington and Mrs. Gadsby will be at home Thursdays in May at 3114 U street. Mr. F. M. Detweiler, who, with his wife, went to Atlantic City a few days ago, ‘s now very much better. Mrs. J. W. Willis of Mt. Pleasant has gone to New York to visit her son, W. B. Upperman, Wimodaughsis will give a reception as a farewell to its retiring president on Wed- nesday, May 8, from 8 to 11, The board of directors will be assisted in receiving by the Academy of Forty. Mrs. George C. Tracey of Towson and Miss Florence Buck of Arcadia, Md., are eee ee the week with Mrs. Scott Ham- mond. Mrs. Romanzo Edson, who went to New York several weeks ago to attend the opera, has returned. A pleasant time was spent at Mr.and Mrs. Fenderson’s, 1405 New Jersey avenue north- west, last night,.a few of their friends be- tng mvited to meet their sister-in-law, Mrs, Horatio E. Church of New Jersey. Mr. Church will join his wife the coming week. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Dowling, Miss Shifner, Mrs. Hinke and daughter, Mrs. Church and daughter, the Misses Dowling, Miss Jennie Matthews and Master Albert Fenderson. Miss Estelle Thalheimer of Philadelphia is the guest of Miss Ray Salomon, 708 7th strect northwest. At home Sunday evening, May 5. Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Domer, having re- turned from their wedding trip, will be at home to their friends aiter the 7th instant at 728 11th street northwest. Madame Marie Decca arrived last even- ing and will remain a week or ten days, the guest of her father, Judge Johnston, 1320 Florida avenue. She is accompanied by Miss Gordini, a clever young artist. Mrs. I. V. Slater has returned from a short trip to New York. ‘The engagement of Miss Jane Bridgham Curtis, the young artist whose work has caused such widespread local interest, to Mr. Robert Coleman Child—also a prom- inent member of the artistic fraternity— has created a pleasant little stir in the circle of Washington art workers. The young people first met at one of the gather- ings of the “Bohemians,” a club of enthusli- astic artists and students formed early last year. Miss Curtis’ most recent and pronounced success was “The Princess,” exhibited during the late Cosmos exhi- bition and purchased by the Cosmos Club for $400. She has been a student in the most celebrated Parisian ateliers, and all of her work bears the unmistakable stamp of those schools, combined with a delicacy of artistic perception and ability of execu- tion rarely found among the younger mem- bers of the profession. Mr. Child has also exhibited clever spect- mens of work and bids fair to become one of our most able artists. The date of the wedding has not as yet been determined upon, but will probably take place during this summer. ‘A surprise party was given by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Maschauer at their home, llth street northeast, in honor of the sixteenth birthday of their eldest on, George. Vocal and instrumental music was rendered, games were enjoyed, after which refreshments were served. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Casper Geler, Mrs. Geo. W. Phillips, the Misses = we M. Beuchart, E., A. and K. Downes, Spalding, M Luckett, L. and L. Funk, Bb Keilly, and Messrs. A.Homfman, H. Becker, J. Marr, M. Downes and F. Funk.

Sergt. Moore of the first precinct and five policemen figured in an exciting chase on Pennsylvania avenue and 9th street at an early hour this morning. A bicycle belong- ing to a citizen and a cab were used by the officers, and it was because of the use of the bicycle that the fugitive, Sidney Tolli- ver, was captured. He, was arrested be- cause of complaint madé by a good-looking young colored woman named Fannie Mid- leton, whose father is Senator Gorman’s coachman. She had made a serious charge against the young man, who was escorting her home from a dance. The dance was given on M street northwest between 15th and 16th streets, and although Fannie lives at 13th and I streets, the colored cabman, at the request of the man, drove all over the city, and it was nearly 2 o'clock when Policeman Hartigan was told that the wo- man had jumped from the vehicle in the park south of Missouri ayenue near 6th street, and made a serious charge against her male escort. Miss Middleton met Tolliver last night for the first time, and she accepted his offer to see her home. She said her brother-in-law knew him and said he was a gentleman. When complaint was made to Policeman Hartigan he started toward the park and saw the cab coming north in the direc- tion of Pennsylvania avenue. The driver as urging his horse, and the officer went pursuit of the vehicle on a bicycle, but his long coat became tangled in the wheel and he failed to capture the man. He was able to blow a distress call, however, and this attracted the officers in the first pre- cinct. Sergt. Moore and Policemen Hodges, Goss, Sutton ard Spfinkle responded. Sergt. Mcore and Officer Sutton got on the vehi- cle and went in pursuit of the fugitive, While Policeman Sprinkle got on the bi- cycle. He was able to keep ahead of the horse, and at 11th and K streets he man- aged to catch Tolliver. When Sergt. Moore jumped from the moving vehicle, in his hurry to overtake the fugitive, he slip- ped and fell. One of the wheels passed over his leg, causing a fracture near the ankle. This morning the prisoner, dressed in his ball suit, appeared in Judge Miiler’s court and was tried on a charge of assault. The young woman appeared on the stand and related the story of her expérience in the “night-line” cab this morning.
