THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JANUARY .26, 189¢-TWENTY-F It locks now as if the top notch in the gaye- ties had been reached the past week, and yet erly those particularly well favored with invitations have any reason to be fatigued by the number of evening engagements. The afternoons have been busy enough, so much so, indeed, that it is only by the nicest man- agement that the: taund could be. .aceom- plished. The White House has entered largely into gencral plans of the season, and_ there are several interesting events yet on the st to- occur there. Mra. Cleveland’s afternoon reception for next Saturday, Feb- ruary 1; the army ard navy reception, on the 6th, and the ;publio reception, on the 13th, are dates of Importance to a great many, while the dister next Thursday night in honor of. the Supreme Court will interest a jarge conjpany. The wedding of Miss Mary Quay and Mr. Louts R. Davidson of Beaver, Pa., to which only.a Nmited number of suests have heen bidden, is an event of the coming week of widespread interest. Thé ceremony will take place in Senator Quay’s aplendid home on K street, and Rev. Dr. Hamlin will officiate-' The yaung couple will spend their honeymoon on the Quay Florida plantation, and then go tg.Beaver, Pa., to reside, if only a crowd .of the~dimenstons of Thursday night always attended the White House funetions, what a joy these entertain- | ments would be! By a careful computation it has been found. that if only those who were asked went to- these affairs, there would be none of the disagreeable scram- bling and hustling about which is the in- variable accompaniment on a fine night, and | which is enough to cause any but the very stoutest of heart and muscle to avoid go- ing. When the day comes when cards of in- vitation will bo required from all, then. the trouble will be largely averted. Mrs. Yang, wife of the Chinese minister, | held a charming reception yesterday after- | noon, and if she had been only able to understand all the admiring comments | made upon her own gracious manners, and, im fact, of every person with whora the stranger comes in contact at the Chinese legation, she would have been amply repaid for the fatigue of receiving so many pec- ple. The minister received with his wife during the early part of the recepiion, having the names of the visitors repeated | to them by one of the secretaries. Their, pleasant if not echoed by youny daughter, who a cutest of little children, was at least ingly i them.

A center- piece of pink roses on a square of embrot: ered linen was an effective decoration, and } pink-shated lamps threw a rosy light. Mrs. Mervin C. Stone gave at her suburban home, “Ciiffburne,” today one of the most | artisticelly designed luncheons that has marked the season. It was given in honor of her guest, Mrs. Warner of Kansas Ci Mo. In the spacious dining room there were two tabies set, each having a centerpiece of vidlets and brid a corsage houquet of violets. Every detail | of the white and violet effect was carried cut.
