Next week will mark the height of the season, and the pace that it will set will probably keep up till the close. There are large receptions or balls for each night, with dinners and teas innumerable, and every. other indication that for those who are in the line of reciprocal favors there is not a dull moment ahead till Ash Wed- nesday. For those who have been enter- taining themselves, and therefore likely to be entertained, the past two months have been the jolliest Washington has seen for years, but in the light of those who have only reason to expect invitations to the grand crushes, there has been ample op- Portunity to rest up between the bids re- ceived. The season well carries out the usual conditions always apparent the third year of every administration, when every- body’s social importance has been carefully estimated, and the bread cast on the waters is well buttered before it starts. The more important evening entertainments for the near future will be the reception at Sena- tor Sherman’s, the coming-out ball for Miss Cobb at the Normandie, the Bachelors’ co- tillion, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wilson's re- ception, the congressional and judicial re- ception at the White House, the ball at the German embassy in celebration of the Ger- man emperor's birthday, Mrs. George Fraser's ball, Mrs. Richardson’s reception, the reception at the French embassy, the Charity Ball, February 3, the last Bache- lors’, February 5, the second army and navy assembly, on the 7th, and last of all the Washington assembly, on the 17th, at the Arlington. There is said to be a great deal more attention paid to the wearing of fine jew- els this winter than to fine gowns. There are certainly more new diamond necklaces and tiaras in Washington at present than were ever noticed here before, and some of them are worn with gowns that have not seen Paris for many, many years. But while it \s simply lovely to be able to daz- ule everybody with these magnificent dia- mond outfits the satisfaction, like all other earthly joys, has its drawbacks. The bur- glars lately have displayed a very fine and appreciative taste for nice things, and grand dames who are burdened with fam- ily plate, to say nothing of their articles of personal adornment, live now in dally and nightly terror of being relieved of elther or both, They spend their time in devising new hiding places for their treas- ures and hours then in trying to remem- ber where they put them last. Lengthy newspaper descriptions of their sparkling gems delight, but at®the same time sad- den, for, as one bright woman put it, after she had gloated over a column story in The Star of the diamonds worn at the last White House reception, in which she large- ly figured herself, “Beautiful, beautiful, but it ought to be called ‘Hints to Bur- giars.’"" A friend suggested a good way out of this difficulty would be to drop a hint now and then to a chatty friend or a smil> ing enemy that it was very amusing what a furore her paste diamonds were creating, and to introduce a nice little story of what fun she had last summer going around among the theatrical costumers in Paris getting these sparklers together. Strange to say, the happy and at the same time unhappy owner of the gorgeous jewels did not take kindly to the little plan and really did not seem to even think it very funny. But she found breath to say, “Pretend I wear rhinestones? No, thank you, the burglars can have them first.” A man suggests that the buying of dia- monds instead of so many dresses is one of the most useful economies, and if for no other reason purely as an investment fm an unchanging fashion. There is no de- tail of a woman's attire which has always attracted more admiration than diamonds, and in all human probability taste in this particular direction will never change. So much importance does this critic of wo- mankind and her ways pay to this matter that he hopes to see the day when it will not be considered anything wonderful if an American weman is seen in one grand toilet not oniy once or twice in a season, but dozens of times in as many years. He thinks that every time Mrs. Cleveland wears a dress at an important social func- tion which she has worn the year before, that fact ought to be given the widest circulation, so that the sensible influence which her example would exert would be felt among all women, no matter how high and mighty or how humble their station in life may be. Mrs. Cleveland has never worn a tiara or coronet of diamonds, although very naturally she could have one if she wanted it. She does wear handsome ornaments, but not the jeweled crowns which have lately become so numerous. It has been suggested that the wearing of coronets or tiaras is unAmerican, being an imitation of titled ladies and their customs, and that foreigners here laugh at these little affectations of bursting money bags. All these things may be very true, but it will not affect the diamond trade very disas- trously, and it would be a strong character indeed which would put the glittering em- blem of old world splendor away from them just because it happens to be the insignia of queens. Secretary and Mrs. Lamont entertained a company at dinner last night in honor of the French ambassador and Mrs. Patenotre. ‘The other guests were Senator and Mrs. M Millan, Mr. and Mrs. 8. 8S. Howland, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Barney, Mr. and Mrs. Pollok, Senator Hale, Miss Florence Bryant and Mrs. Auderried. There is considerable talk of a leap year ball among the younger dancing set. Of course, it is the girls who must do the whole of it, and, from the interest displayed, the chances are good that the arrangements will be well in hand within a short time. Mrs. Howard Clagett and her daughter Adele have returned from Paris, where they spent the last two years, and are with Mrs. Clagett’s mother, Mrs. Du Hamel, at 1839 16th street. Mr. and Mrs. John R. McLean and Mrs. Hearst were ameng the dinner givers last night. Senator Voorhees’ pleasant home on New Hampshire avenue was thronged with his own and his daughter's friends yesterday afternoon at the tea given in honor of Mrs. Charlies Voorhees of Spokane, Washington. Miss Voorhees had the pleasure of present- ing neazly every prominent person in so- ciety to her hardsome sister-in-law. Flowers decked the drawing rooms, and a collation of substantials and solids was spread in the dining room. The table had as a cen- terpiece American beauty roses, and a no less attractive ornament was-a Maud Mul- ler candy hat filled with cherries and trim- med with scarlet ribbons. The hostess was assisted by Miss Herbert, Miss Letitia Ste- venson, Miss Julia Scott, Miss Ruth Harlan, Mrs. Condit-Smith, Mrs. John James Key, ‘iss Hannegan, Miss Mildred Merrick, Miss Turpie, daughter of Senator Turple, and Miss Raul. The Misses Louther of New York, who are the guests of Mra. Andrew Miller and Miss Miller, were given a tea yesterday and the Miller residence on 13th street was thronged by the young people invited to meet them. The drawing rooms were decked with roses and-carnations and the appointments of the refreshment table were in pink, La France roses forming the centerpiece. Assisting in the pleasant hos- pitality were Miss Bessie Gorman, Miss Mary Gorman, Miss Mary Jones, Miss Florence Mills, Miss Newton, Miss Galt, Miss Dempsey, Miss Fisher, and Mrs. Flack of Baltimore. Mrs. Cleveland’s card reception began at 3 o'clock and was largely attended. She was assisted by the cabinet ladies and a number of young ladies, a group of them being stationed in each room. Refresh- ments were served in the state dining room. ¢ Mrs. Yang Yu, wife of the Chinese min- THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, ister, will receive her friends next Friday afternoon. Miss Herbert, Mrs. Miles, Mrs. Sheridan and Mrs. Walker received the guests last night at the Army and Navy Assembly. The walls of the Rifles’ Armory were draped with flags of all countries. A tent on the stage, with stacked arms, crossed sabers and drums, made a pretty scene. The club's president is Maj. Gen. Miles; vice president, Rear Admiral R. W. Mead, United States navy, and secretary, Lieut. A. P. Niblack, who had the management in charge. The executive committee is composed of Capt. B. J. Cromwell, United States navy; Maj. E. A. Garlington, Surgeon J. C. Boyd, United States army; Capt. F. R. Keefer, medical department, United States army, and Lieut. J. T. Myers, United States marine corps.

At the marriage of Miss Merrick and Paymaster Ramsay, at St. Paul’s Catholic Church, Rev. Father Healy, S.J., will per- form the ceremony, which will be followed by a nuptial mass. Only relatives will at- tend the wedding breakfast afterward at the residence of the Misses Merrick. Mrs. Romero will receive Tuesday from 3 to G at the Mexican legation, for the last time this season. The announcement that ex-President Harrison and Mrs. Dimmick were to be married created no surprise to their friends in this city, for while they waited the authoritative announcement from them it was well understood from its frst men- tion in the columns of The Star that they had contemplated the step and would take the public into their confidence at the proper time. Both from members of the family of Mr. Harrison as well as from acquaint- ances of Mrs. Dimmick here there has been received within the last ten days plenty of corroborative evidence that a wedding was certainly on the tapis. Now that the way is clear both Mr. Harrison and Mrs. Dimmick will be showered with congratulations from their numerous ac- quaintances and kinsfolks in this vicinity. Inasmuch as Mr. Harrison is a member of the Presbyterian Church it was at first thought that putting off the marriage un- til after Lent instead of having the cere- mony earller in the spring was unusual, but it was then remembered that Mrs. Dimmick is an Episcopalian and during her residence in this city attended the Church of the Incarnation, corner of 12th and N streets, and it was from this church her mother, Mrs. Lord, was buried. There is no reason to suppose but that the wedding was violently opposed by Mrs. McKee and Mr. Russell Harrison at the first mention of it in. the family circle last year, but they have accepted their father’s determination as final, and there will be none to offer him more sincere congratula- tions on tie day of his marriage. Mrs. Dimmick is now living with her sis- ter and brother-in-law, Mrs. Parker and Lieut. Parker, at No. 40 East 38th street, New York city. Her maiden name was Mary Scott Lord, or “Mamie” Lord, as she was affectionately known in the Harrison family circle. Her husband, who only lived three months after their marriage, was a resident of Honesdale, Pa., and, by a cu- rious coincidence, his first name was the same as Mr. Harrison’s—Benjamin. After his death Mrs. Dimmick lived with her widowed mother in Indianapolis. After the election of Mr. Harrison, while lving in this city with her mother and sister, her prominence began. When the Harri- sons came to the White House she took up her residence there with them, and lived there until after the death of Mrs. Harrison, when she again returned to her sister’s house, and was there when the family departed for their home in Indiana. From the very first she made friends in the White House, and her strength of character and readiress!and willingness to oblige caused her td'keep the friends she made. Her manner ig;degitiedly agreeable. She has a keen sense of, the ridiculous, which she probably inherited from the first Mrs. Harrison. She is good-looking, has brunette coloring an@4s on the sunny side of forty. President Harrison has been a widower since October 25, 1892, and is now in_his sixty-third yeat. The wedding will take plce in New York city, but whether public or private or at church or home has got seen decided, or, at least, announced. i The marriage of Misg Sally Archer Bruce to the Rev. Arthur Kensolving, rector of Christ Church, Brooklyn, Will be solemnized at St. Paul’s Church, Righmond, Va,.at high noon February 5. Bruce is the daughter of Mr. Seddon uce and grand- daughter of the late Gen. eph R. Ander- son of Richmond, and is ranked among the beauties of the old dominion. She is only nineteen years old and made her debut last winter in Richmond and Baltimore. Owing to the social prominence of the bride and groom the wedding will be attended by many distinguished persons from the north and south and will be a brilliant affair. Mrs. N. 8. Lincoln will not recelve Mon- day, the 20th, but will resume her receptions Monday, January 27. Miss Learned of Al- bany will be here Monday and will be Mrs. Lincoln’s guest for a part of the season. Miss Anna Seaton Schmidt has been all the past fall and winter in Boston, where her lectures on art topics have been well received. She hag finished a course of sev- enteen lectures and has so many engage- ments that it will be some time yet before she can return to this city. Mrs. George A. Bacon of 2803 @ street is visiting Mra. C. H. Bond in Boston and will be absent several weeks. Miss Barnes gave a reception last night at her home, on I street, in honor of Miss. Pearl Johnston of New York, who leaves. for her home today, after a pleasant visit of three weeks here. |_The Wednesday Progressive Euchre and Pleasure Club held its semi-monthly meet- ing at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. McCaully, 1221 M street, Wednesday even- ing last. After business was transacted, playing was indulged in until 11 p.m., when it was found the lucky winners were Mrs. B. F. Crawshaw, first, and Mrs. H. F. Bauer, second prizes, and Mr. F. W. Car- den, first, and Mr. F. C. Barker, second prizes. A collation was served, after which music and dencing were enjoyed, Mr. H. F.

The first of its entertainments will be a dancing re- ception to its gentlemen friends, to be given on February 4. After the regular routine business was finished, a light Iunch- eon was served, followed by vocal and in- strumental music, which was enjoyed until a late hour. The organizers were Misses R. and E. Moulton, I. and M. Riley, J. Chandler, A. O'Neill, E. Pumphrey, V. Jen- nings, M. Patterson, A. Pearson, R. Casper and E. Padgett. The P. P. E. and Social Club met at the residence of Dr. A. B.

The next meeting will be held at Temple Hotel, Mrs. Clara Spicer en- tertairing. ‘The members of the Doux Seize Card Club were entertained last evening at the residence of Miss Blanche Young, on 9th street.

The Rossbourg Club of the Maryland Agricultural College gave its regular monthly dance last evening in the hall of that institution, the attendance being the largest of the year. So crowded was it, in fact, that dancing was almost impossible, and the time was taken up by social greet- ings. Nine of the members of last year's class were present, with a number from Washington and the surrounding towns. Dancing was started about 8 o'clock and was kept up until 12, with an intermission of about an hour for supper, which was served in the regular dining room of the college. The cadets turned out in full uniform to meet the guests at the door, and made an exceedingly attractive ap- pearance. Those of the class of 95 who were present were Messrs.
