CHRISTMAS-TIDE IN CABINET HOMES Brilliant Debut Reception of Miss Stevenson and Miss Scott. ENTERTAINMENTS ee Christmas at the White House will be largely devoted to the enjoyment of the little folks there. Mrs. Cleveland has been making the necessary preparations for some time back that Santa Claus may not pass the President's house by with the idea that the chilcren there have everything they wart, and that any offerings from his pack would not be acceptable. She wants Christ- mas the regulation kind, full of the greatest anticipation and most joyful realization for her daughters, two of whom are just big enough to thoroughly enjoy every precious moment of the children's feast. President and Mrs. Cleveland, especially the latter, naturally re¢eive a great many presents, ard they give a great many also. Mrs. Cleveland and the ladies of the cabinet exchange gifts always at this season. Outside the Christmas tree and its glo- ries,” there wili be no other outward mani- festation of the day at the White House. The tree, with its wondrous twinkling lights and shining fruit, will be the feature of the library on Christmas, and either on the ¢ve or the afternoon of that day, accord- ing to the now established program, Ruth and Esther will entertain the little boys and girls of their acquaintance at a tree party. It is not expected that there will be any guests at the Christmas dinner, and it will be served at the customary hour and of the customary viands suitable to the day and the season. The Vice President and Mrs. Stevenson and their daughters will spend Christmas at their hotel, but will dine that day with Mrs. M. T. Scott, sister of Mrs. Stevenson, at her residence on 16th street. Mr. Lewis Stev- enson, who is traveling in Japan for his health, is the only member of the family way from them. His wife’s health, which is never vigorous, will not permit her to leave home this winter to enjoy the gaieties here as the Vice President and his wife would desire. Mrs. Stevenscn lately receiv- ed, as souvenirs of her Alaska trip last sum- ner, lwo rugs. One is a small white bear end the other is a very large one, made of vagle's breasts. The latter is of mingled and brown shades, ts as soft as eider- down, and makes a luxurious cover to the ever which it is thrown. The cabinet families have arranged for home celebrations. The Secretary of State and Mrs. Olney rarely dine either on Sun- day or holidays without an extra guest or two. It is not likely there will be any change in their program this time. Mrs. Olney has been suffering greatly from her sprained hand, but which is rapidly recov- ering. Mrs. Olney will receive on New Year after the diplomatic breakfast, and will be assisted by a number of young ladies, The Olney house is so spacious and so well adapted to large entertainments that for the first time in this administra- lion the events of the home of the Secre- lary of State assume social importance. Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle will have their family circle complete for Christmas. Preir son, Mr. William Carlisle, and his Nife and their three children arrived this inerning, to make them a holiday visit. ihe children are to have a royal good ume during their stay, and the necessary preparation has been made for it already by their grandmother. Mrs. Carlisle wiil r eon New Year day, and will have suests from time to time during the whole winter. Secretary and Mrs. Lamont have been in New York the last few days, but will get heme at least by Monday. They will have the jolliest kind of Christmas from their children’s standpoint, and this is the idea which rules generally in the Lamont house- hold. Some time during the holidays the girls will entertain a gathering of children, their own school friends and playmates, who will come early in the afternoon and have a real good time dancing, playing games and partaking of a dainty spread of juvenile goodies, Mrs. Lamont will re- ceive on New Year, and will be assisted by a number of army ladies and others. Secretary Herbert will have a reunited family circle to enjoy a good old-fashioned scuthern Christmas with him. With Miss Herbert's return from Europe and Master Bilary Herbert's vacation from college, and the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Micoa and their interesting young family, the number is complete. Miss Herbert has had a delightful trip traveling from one end of Europe to the other, Being presented at court and enjoying ‘all the sights and pleasures it was possible for her country people at every point to extend to her. Secretary and Mrs. Smith had antictpatea the brightest kind of a Christmas, but the sericus illness which has nearly menaced the life of their little daughter as, of course, changed their plans somewhat. The Secretary’s father and mother and brother, Mr. Burton Smith, are expected to spend the holidays with ‘him, and later on a number of young ladies, relatives of either the Secretary or his wife, are ex- pected to be with them during the winter. The Postmaster General and Mrs. Wil- son will have all their children home for Christmas, excepting one, who is at sea. Miss Wilson and her younger sister will be back from college, and will probably be accompanied by school friends, who will spend the holidays with them.’ Mrs. Wil- gon will receive on New Year after the re- ception at the White House. Attorney General and Mrs. Harmon ard their young daughters will have the mar- ried daughter of the family, Mrs. Edmund Wright of Philadelphia, with Mr. Wright and their baby, who, happening to be the only graadchild in the family, is corre- spondingly important, all with’ them for tmas. Mrs. Wright will remain all winter with her mother and take part in the gayeties of the household. Mrs. Har- mon will receive on New Year, assisted by a number of lady friends. Secretary Morton end his children are never separated at holiday times. He went te Chicago for Thanksgiving with them, and some of his sons will be here for COMING Christmas with him and Miss Morton. The Secretary has been photographed lately, surrounded by four handsome grand- children, and the group is a most interest- ing one. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Morton will remain here for the early part of the sea- son. : The Vige President and Mrs. Stevenson entertained their friends royally last night at the Normandie at a coming-out party for their daughter and niece. Each room of the parlor suite was embowered in green, and white roses and margueriies added fragrance and beauty, Wild smilax draped the dcorways. and arch and twined the chandeliers. The mantels were banked with Farlayense ferns in the re- ception room, and the large parlor, to which the dining room had been trans- formed, and amid these the bouquéts sent the debutantes ‘were massed. There were great bunches of violegs, and roses of every shade, tied with lohg ribbon stream- ers, and making a collection which any debutante would regard with pleasurable The Vice President and Mrs. Ste- Miss Letitia Stevenson and Miss Scott received in the small reception room.
