Housewarming and Debutante Teas and Other Hospitalities—In- teresting Personals. Mrs. Stevenson received callers yester- day afternoon, and her parlors at the Nor- mandie were the meeting ground of many of the notables, who were anxious to pay their respects this early in the season to the wife of the Vice President, and at the same time to enjey something of a con- versation with her, a pleasure which is not possible at any of her receptions during the regular season, because of the hun- dreds who are calling for the tens now. Mrs. Olney was not able to see callers yesterday on account of her sprained hand, caused by the slamming of her car- riage door. A servant was kept busy all the afternoon answering inquiries at the door. Mrs. Lamont was at home to callers, and welcomed a large number of old and new friends. Mrs. Smith had another of the pleasantly informal receptions of the af- ternoon. Mrs. Carlisle was out paying calls. The Misses Merrick entertained at a tea yesterday, when their friends met for the first time in their new home, 1754 S street, and the youngest sister, Miss Mildred Mer- rick, made her debut. The drawing room was fragrant with the flowers sent the de- butante. Miss Merrick was assisted by Mrs. Winthrop, Miss Alice Riggs, Miss Mary Dunn of Baltimore and the Misses Merrick, while in the tea room Mrs. G. E. Hamilton and Mrs. Fred. McGuire pre- sided. The occasion was a pleasant one and brought together a representative as- semblage of the old resident families.

Mrs. Trumbo has visited this clty reg- ularly the past three or four seasons and has many pleasant acquaintances. As Col. Trumbo is likely to be elected Senator from Utah when the legislature of that state meets early in January, their return to this city is almost a foregone conclusion. The hospitality of Col. and Mrs. Trumbo is a feature on the Pacific coast, as they have homes both in California and Utah. Mrs. Trumbo is young and attractive and a charming conversationalist, and their pres- ent visit has been made most interesting by friends here. Mr. William E. Curtis, assistant secre- tary of the treasury, will entertain at din- ner tomorrow night. Representative and Mrs. Draper will give a dinner tonight. Mrs. John Rodgers gave a luncheon to- day.

Hill of the United States geological survey will deliver a free lecture this evening at the Carroll Institute on “Panama, the American Isthmus.” Mr. Hill is remembered for his lecture which he delivered last year before the Geo- graphical Society on Panama and Costa Rica, in which he treated the subject al- most entirely from the scientific side. The present lecture will be of a more popular character, dealing with the peopie and cus- toms of the country, and telling of the great canal and incidents of travel in con- nection with it. The lecture will be illus- trated by means of a set of stereopticon views made from pictures collected by Mr. Hill in his travels, and projected on the screen by Wm. L, Soleau. ee “Before They Were Married.” The final chapter of the mystery story, “Before They Were Married,” will appear in Saturday’s Star. The thousands of gtessers who sent in their solutions can then see how near they came to soly the mystery. . Carroll PURSUED BY FORTUNE Luoky Individuels Who Attended the O. A. O Carnival, Am Elaborate Program Prepared for the Entertainment of the Old Veterans. Another big crowd attended the Columbia. Athletic Club carnival last night, and the bright and beautiful interior seemed all the more cheering and attractive on account of the disagreeable weather outside. The even- ing had been set acide for the entertainment of the various local athletic and bicycle clubs, and the members of these organiza- tions turned cut in good and generous num- bers and enjoyed themselves to the top of their bent. There were many drawings for various articles held during the evening, and some remarkable examples of persistent luck were exhibited. E. H. Sayder won a hand- some riding crop and immediately after- ward his number in the silver watch and chain contest was awarded those prizes. L. S. Fisher won a fine white-handled umbrella and gave it back tu the club to be raffled over, starting the new book with his own name. When the drawing for it under the new conditions was held Mr. Fisher again held the lucky number. Frank Wilson Brown won the silver-mounted banjo; Mr. Robert Yellott drew the siiver-mounted cut- glass cigar stand, and the gold-moun’ buggy whip fell to Mrs. Robert Harmon. The entertairment in the gymnasium was greatly enjoyed. There was an exhibition of high and fancy kicking by Bob Elder, and a number of the club men appeared in the Reman ladders. Jiarry Parker per- formed some remarkable evolutions on the bicycle, and the living pictures reproduced a foot ball group and Millet’s “Ang ‘Tonight is expected to be the most brilliant of the carnival. The guests will include sev- ercl members of the cabinet, the members of the Senate and House, the diplomatic corps, the G. A. R. and the Confederate Vet- erans, snd an elaborate program has been prepared for their entertainment. It was decided last night to open the carnival Sat- urday afternoon from 2 to 5 o’cldck. Company A, sixth battalion, D. C. N. G, with the new second regiment band, wili attend the cernival this evening. ——___ Meeting of Farragut Post. At the regular meeting cf Farragut Post, No. 10, G. A. R., held Tuesday evening at its hall, over the National Capiial Bank, an unusually large attendance of members made it one of especial interest and pleas- ure to the veterans themselves and of great importance to the order. The clection of officers for the ensuing year and of dele- gates and alternates to the department en- campment resulted in the selection of the following by a unanimous vote: Com- mander, A. F. Dinsmore; senior vice com- manier, S. W. Bunyca; junior vice com- mander, F. w; surgeon, Tr. A. C. Adams; chaplain, Geo. R. Cock, quarter- master, C. B. Nichols. officer of the day, Geo.
