The Splendid Hospitality at the Ger- man Embassy — Personal Notes, of Interest. The German flag floated yesterday over the German embassy. A brilliant gather- ing of society there last night celebrated the thirty-seventh birthday of Emperor Wil- Ham. Seven hundred invitations went out for the event and there seemed few of those who usually atten] the important ai fairs of the season absett. The ambassa- dor and Baroness von Thielman opened their hospitalities here in a most generous and pleasing way. Every deta!l for the comfort and pleasure of their guests was carefully planned and successfully realized. The spacious house was decorated with running vines and flowers, so placed as not to take up any space on the tloor, and the rooms were stripped of their heavy furni- ture to accommodate the throng of guests. In the ball room the tife-size portraits of the German emperor and empress which have been hung there this winter natural- ly came in for a great Cceal of admiration and attention. They are handsomely framed in Florentine gilt. Supper was served all night in the dining room, and an orchestra played behind a laurel screen in the ball room. The ambassador and Baroness von Thiel- man received in the large drawing room. The latter was elegantly gowned in white mcire antiave, garlanded with carnations. Diplomatic, official and res‘dentiai society Was represented in the large throng pres- ent to drink to the kaiser's good health and long life. ‘The members of the emba: re- ceived with the ambassador and his wife. Mrs. John=R. MeLean gave a handsome reception yesterday afterncon in honor of Miss Susan B. Anthony, at which the offt- cers and delegates of the naticnal suffrage conve ition were entertained. Mrs. Graat, whose 70th birthday ceicbration luncheon had preceted, was present and received the delegates, who were presented to her by Miss Antaony. A collation was spread in the large dining hall, where the table was ornarented with tall vases filled with calla lilies and garlands of asparagus vines. studded with pink carnations. The guests at the luncheon, with Mrs. Hazen, Mrs. Bugher and Miss Patten, ted the he tess in the hospitaiities of the reception. The preponderarce of young ladies among the suffragists made a most pleasing fea- ture, and the occasion wus a delightful one. A party of Canadians, who have been spending a few days in this citt, were en- tertained last evening by Mr. John Thompson at a dinner. In the party were Sir William Van Hera, the president of the Canadian Pacific railroad; C. B. Angus, one of the directors; Gov. Kirkpat John Cassels of Montreal, Mr. Koss and Dr. Karr. Among those invited to meet the visitors were Mr. John W. Foster, Senator Chandier, Representative Hendér of Iowa and Col. John Cassels. After the cin- ner the Canadian visitors left for the depot, a portion of the party going south and the rest to New York.

The table was decorated with American beauty roses. Mrs. Charles Howry, wife of the assistant atiorney general, tea yesterday, at which her guests tasted of hospitality extended in the most delight- ful way. The rooms were daintily decked with flowers and asparagus vines. In the dining room a table which had as a cen- terpiece a plat of pink orchids and Farlay- ense ferns was supplied with all the tea dainties. Mrs. Howry wore light green moire antique, trimmed with silver-beaded chiffon and bands of fur. Assisting her were Mrs. N. C. Blanchard, Mrs. Waithail, Mrs. W. H. Sims, Mrs. W. H. Saunders, Mrs. J.

The Christian Endeavor committee of "96 held its regular weekly meeting at head- Qlarters in the Lenman bullding last night, A letter wae read from Mr. Baer referring at length to his pleasant visit to Washing- ten last week. Offers of the use of their church edifices were received from the Westminster Presbyterian and St. Paul's English Lutheran societies. The committee directed the sending of a letter to the societies and pastors stating that the commitiee has officially indorsed ne lecturer or other entertainers who tight present themselves to the societies “ith a proposition to give lectures, etc., for the raising of convention funds. It was of course considered that the committee had ne objection to the raising of funds by such means, provided the individual socie- ties and churches chose to raise part of their ccntributions in this way; they want- ed it understood, however, that no one had been in any way indorsed by the commit- tee. Mr. Shand of the entertainment commit- tee reported the following delegations have cempleted hotel arrangements: Texas, La Fetra’s; a Cochran; Massachus-tts, Willard st. ormandie; Regent; lowa t; P . es Ohio, Fredonia; New Jersey, Na- Tie following avpointments were made 5 ment committe: Re Alvin Smith and Mr. A.
