PERSONAL GOSSIP ‘The day of the bud is here. The tea sea- son is on. Afternoon visiting is a solemn duty. Five o'clock tea tables flourish. Ger- man leaders are discussed. Good clothes are donned. The who's who is petted. Wherefore great rejoicing on the part of milliners and modistes, caterers and other ministering forces to the outer woman and the inner man. Will it be gay? Of course it will. It always is, if you only think so. Washington gayety depends but slightly on the frame of mind in which political events may leave various good people. If it di it would be a sad outlook for some of our winter residents. The capital is a pleasure resort just as much as Newport, with the unique distinction that it is never necessary to be struggling along with one set all the time. Here humanity presents itself in Sreat ard well-dressed varieties, Just now, besides the unfolding of the buds and the torrents of tea in consequence, Congress is here, or will be in a day or two. This body provides many of our best and most sub- stantial entertainers, who are already on the field. Those who would taste the joys of anticipation can conjure up the piles of fame in process of manufacture for the new comers. In fact there seems to be nothing wanting now to insure the necessary snap and vigor to the social atmosphere. Matrimonially, Washington can no longer be derided, for the events of this character Guring the past year have made a fine average. It has cleared the field for the ew aspirants for belleship. In other words, the buds will blocm at an auspicious mo- ment, in an undcrstocked market, with gcod prospects of getting an offer or two before the season wanes. The brides have had their day during the chrysanthemum sezson, and it has been a great one for both of chem. But now for the debutantes. The bud list is rather a small one, but all the better for that. There are few prettier or more attractive girls anywhere than the Misses Stevenson, daughters of the Vice President. They have"had some peeps into the gayeties of a Washington season, but this winter they are really to jein the debutantes. It is rather a hard task to say whether Miss Julia or Miss Letitia is the prettiest, but both are sweet, cordial, unaffected girls, and bound to mzke friends at every turn, Miss Julia Stevenson is a brunette and Miss Letitia a bionde. The features of the elder sister are a shade more delicately cut, but the of the younger adds another nd @ most winning one. Mrs. Stevenson and her daughters thor- oughly enjoyed their summer trip, which Was spent traveling with the Vice Presi- dent to Alaska and through the northwest. The Alaskan trip opened up a new world, of which they had before given little thought. Mrs. Stevenson, like her husband, is in excellent health, and returns to re- sume her part in social duties with renew- ed pleasure. She is the same charmingly gracious woman, with whom an acquaint- ance is a privilege. Miss Julia Scott, cousin of the Misses Stevenson, is another pretty girl, whose education has been receiving its finishing touches the past year in Europe, and who is soon expected to join Mrs. and Miss Scott in their beautiful home on 16th street. ‘Then there is Miss Jane Fuller, youngest daughter of the Chief Justice, and Miss Mary Condit Smith in the court circle, Miss Gana in the diplomatic set, Miss Blanchard, daughter of Senator Blanchard of Louisi- ana; Miss Dorothy Rockhill, Miss Natalie Barney, Miss Marjorie Nott, Miss Elsie An- derson, Miss Warder, the Misses Dodge, Miss Benham, Miss Scott, Miss Mattingly, Miss Alice Cutts, Miss Ashton, Miss Edith Newilands,daughter of Representative New- lands, and Miss Sowers. Miss Jane Fuller is as talented as her musical sisters. Miss Mary Condit Smith is a very handsome girl, Miss Elsie Anderson Was presented last year at court in London and other capitals and Miss Warder is ex- tremeiy pretty, with derk har and eyes and olive complexion; Miss Marjorie Nott, daughter of Judge Charles C. Nott, has golden hair, fram.ng a face of great beauty. Her maternal grandfather was President Mark Hopkins of Williams College. Miss Alice Cutts is the daughter of the late Capt. Cutts of San Francisco. and a niece of Mrs, Browne,widow of Surgeon General Browne, whose guest she is th.s winter at the Port- land, The Misses Dodge are the daughters of Mr. and Mrs, Harrison Dodge, and natu- rally of the best Washington stock. Mr. and Mrs. John W. Foster entertained a large party at dinner last night to meet Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Ratcliffe. Mrs. Stanley Matthews has dinner invita- tions out for December 11. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. M. Curry will give a dinner December 14. Among the pretty weddings during the week on Capitol Hill was that of Miss Maud Augusta Lyon, daughter of ars. Lucy A. Lyon of No. 328 A street north- east, to Mr. Charles E. Schroeder, son of Prof. August W. Schroeder. The ceremony took place at the Metropolitan Pr=sbyter- ian Churen, and the knot was tied by the pestor, Rev. Geo. F. Lucecck. The bride was gowned in white organdie over white silk, and carried a bouquet of bride’s roses. She entered the chureh with her moiner, who gave her hand in marriage. They were preceded by four ushers—Mr. Will Buckirgham, Mr. Pierre Lewis, Mr. Ed. Lewis and Mr. Clarence Schroeder. Then followed little Edwinetta Schrceder, a tiny pink satin fairy, who was the maid of honor. The groom and bis best man, Mr. Raymond Schroeder, a brother, met the bridal party at the chancel, while an or- chestra of twenty-five musicians, persqnal friends of the groom, played nuptial music from “Lohengrin.” The brida! gifts were numerous and beautiful. A pleasant family reunion occurred at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Walker, 1840 Vermont avenue, on Thanks- giving day.
