Din- rers multiply in numbers, and teas, for which ‘Tuesdays and Saturdays appear to be the favorite days, are still the feature of large entertainments. House balls, ex- cepting the dinner dance, are not as yet very numerous, but between the Bachelors’ and the Army and Navy assemblies there cannot be said to be any real dearth of dancing events. Naturally, with the thea- ter attractions next week, hospitality will take the form of early dinners and late suppers. Among the events of the coming week ‘| are, for Monday: Miss Aline Wilcox, a tea--5 o’clock—to meet Miss Florence Bryant.

The mahogany table in the Olney dining room has a <arv- ed border nearly a foot wide, and when arranged for a luncheon only lace doylies at the covers obscure its solid beauties. The Secretary of War and Mrs. Lamont at a handsome dinner last night entertain- ed the British ambassador and Lady Pauncefote, the Mexican minister and Mrs. Romero, Mr. and Mrs. John W. Foster, Mr. Andrew D. White of the Venezuela boundary commission, Mr. and Mrs. John B. Henderson, Mr. Leiter and Miss Bryant and Miss Woodward, who are Mrs. La- mont’s guest’.

Mr. and Mrs. Marto de Mendonca and the ‘Misses de Mendonca. Mrs. Romero will receive next Tuesday from % to 6, thus resuming the receptions which have been one of the most delightful features of the winter season here and which have made the name of the Mexican legation syronymous with the most gra- cicus hospitality. Mrs. Watson J. Newton and Miss New- ton will give an informal tea Wednesday, January 15, 182 K street, 4 to 6, to meet Mrs. James W. Klock, jr., of Baltimore and the Misses Lowther of New York. Mrs. Cleveland bas invited a company for this afternoon at 4 o'clock to hear Mrs. Waldo Richards of Boston read. The diamond display at the White House Thursday night was the most remarkable ever seen there since the days of Mrs. Hicks Lord or Mrs. Leland Stanford. Then there were so few comparatively, whose gems attracted general comment that pop- ular attention was concentrated on them and ordinary jewels passed by unnoticed. The precious stones worn by the ladies of the diplomatic corps made a glittering collection, which, enhanced, as they were in most instances, by orders and decora- tions as marks of imperial favor made their jewels especially interesting. As im- posing as the whole array was particu- Jarly in the way of fine stones in old- fashioned settings there were no ornaments to compare with the magnificent set of diamonds and emeralds, tiara, necklace and earrings worn by Mrs. Dominguez, wife of the Argentine charge 4’ affaires. Mrs. Dominguez is a wealthy woman in her own right. She was formerly Miss Helena Murphy of San Francisco, but has lived most of her life in England, where she was married. Mrs. Patenotre, wife of the French ambassador, has a fine necklace and other ornaments in modern setting which are much admired. Baroness ,Thiel- man wears fine gems also, as well as jew- eled decorations. The most elaborate dia- mond necklace in Washington just at pres- ent is the strand of enormous solitaires worn by Mrs. Scott Townsend. The stones in the front are about the size of the aver- age hazel nut; toward the back they de- crease. Mrs. Cleveland has a large collection of diamond ornaments, the most elegant of which is her necklace of large solitaires, and which was among the first of the President's gifts to her after their mar- riage. She wears more ornaments in her hair, diamond tuck and side combs, than in her corsage when dressed for the even- ing, and has a diamond flower spray which can be worn either as a bandeaux or a brooch. Mrs. Hearst has been gradually adding to her collection of fine gems ur.til now her diamonds represent a large for- tune. She has a necklace of several rows of huge solitaires and many fine pearls set with diamonds. Mrs. U. S. Grant wears magnificent jew- els when arrayed for the evening. " Al- though very near her seventieth birthday she wears her gems with the same pleasure they gave her when she first became their possessor, She has a pair of bracelets set with superb diamonds which are much adnt-red. Saturday seems to be the field day lately. Numerous teas will mark the afternoon, of whgh Mrs. and the Misses Wendling, Mrs. Doe, who entertains in honor of Mrs. Ed- ward C. Wall of Wisconsin, and Mrs. Hak liday will be hostesses. A dinner at the German embassy, a dinner in_honor of Mrs. Grant by Mr. and Mrs. Batcheller, and a dinner of which Mr. and Mrs. De Meck of the Russian legation will be host and hostess, are some of the events of the evening. Controller and Mrs. Bowler entertained at dinner last night. Among their guests were Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle, Senator and Mrs. Elkins, Dr. and Mrs. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs, A. C. Barney and Mrs. G. Pendleton Bowler. The first Army and Navy Assembly will be given Friday. January 17. Maj. Gen. Miles is president of the the club, Admiral Meade vice president and Lieut. Niblack secretary. The executive committee is composed of Capt. Cromwell and Surg. J. C..Bond of the navy, Maj. Garlington, Capt. Ki and Capt. Keefer of the army, and Lieut. Meyers of the marine corps. A very pleasant “fireside party” was given in the residence of Mr. W. H. Sliney, 1901 Vermont avenue, last even- ing, the feature of which was that each present should tell a story or do some- thing in the musical line. Stories were told by Mrs. Sypher, Miss Herzog, Capt. Frank W. Crosby and J. B. MoCarthy; Prof. A. W. Myer performed a number of selections on the piano, and Misses Wm. H. Schoeiz of Milwaukee T. Brooke Amisz of this city rendered classical — on the violin. Their performances much enjoyed. Delightful refreshments were served. Mrs. John B. Robinson and Miss Robin- son gave a largely attended tea yester- day, at which they were assisted by Mrs. Howell of Poiladeiphia, Mrs. Ford of New York, Mrs. Price, Mrs. George Butler and Mrs. Riddle of Media, Pa., Mrs. Mclean, Miss Quay, Miss Hutcheson and Miss Keim.

She is reluctant to leave Washington, but has consented to give up part of her social duties. As al. know, she is fond of so- ciety and loves to visit her friends. She feels constrained, however, to follow the advice of Ler doctor, and to forego all visits until she recovers her health.

A lady resident of Honesdale, Pa., speak- ing to a New York Morning Journal re- porter, gives some interesting particulars of the girlhood of Mrs. Mary Lord Dim- mick. “Mrs. Lord’s dauzhters grew to charm ing young womanhood in the west,” she said, “and about fifteen years ago came with their mother to Honesdaie, Pa., io spend a summer with friends. Chief among these wes the Dimmnick family. Samuei E. Dimmick had been the leading lawyer of northern Pennsyivania. He was a repubil- can end a leader of that party in the state. In 1874 he was attorney general of Pea sylvania and the slated candidate of his party for the approaching gubernatorial nomiration, Ose day in 1874 he died sud- denly at his hotel in Harrisburz. He left his family a_larg= fortune and a $3),000 residerce in Honesdale. He had three sons, the eldest named Benjamin. This young man was at home from college when the pretty Lord sisters came visiting at his mother’s. He fell in love with Mary, or Mamie, as she was famillarly known. She reciprocated his affection, and in a few weeks they were married. The young hus- band lived but three months. He left bis widow a large fortune.
