Ave. fe22-144 ea THE WORLD OF ‘SOCIETY Hospitalities for the Visiting Daughters of the American Revolution. Mrs. Foster Entertains Her Colleagues —Some Lenten Keflectlons— Charity Events. The Lenten calm has not had an oppor- tunity to make ftself felt, so far, with the many tea party attractions and occasions in honor cf the Revolutionary Daughters, and after today’s events are over the busy participants will be ready for a quiet week cf rest. With commendable energy the ladies who are intrusted with the duty of keeping the cash boxes of various chari- table institutions constantly replenished to meet the demands, came together the day after Ash Wednesday to formulate a plan to beguile @ fresh store of coin into these almost empty coffers. The bicycle parade exhibition and races of which previous mention has been made in these columns— has already taken first place in fashion- able et.deavor and will be one of the great events of the Lenten season. Rumor has it that we are to have “living pictures” also for sweet charity, participated in by a number of prominent belles and beaux, and to be given in one of several private ball reoms that will readily be offered for it. Then another chance or two to enjoy the delightful pictures from “Life,” which were given with such success last winter, seems certain. The days with time in them to enjoy the music clubs are with us and a revival of the interest which never departs entirely is epparent all along the line. The Friday Morning Ciub never permits its social duties to lessen its devotion to the musical art, and simply continues its artistic enjoy- ments right through Lent, without inter- ruption. The Tuesday Club has just been organized and promises a season of the same delight to its members. Whist clubs are so numerous that each great and small coterie of intimates have one in their midst. Sewing circles seem no longer Lenten diversions, as they exist all year and are only spurred to greater activity at this period. Skating and the wheel, in the way of time-killing and health-giving empioy- ments, use up so much time nowadays that no idle days or hours confront the average society girl or matron. The only difficulty exists in getting all the engage- ments In reasonable order. Mrs. John W. Foster, the retiring pres!- dent general of the D. A. R., gave a hand- some reception yesterday to the state and chapter regents of that organization, when, for two hours, there was scarcely an unoc- cupted foot of space in her spacious home. Receiving with Mrs. Foster were Mrs. MeMiilan, Mrs. Burrows, Mrs J. Thomscn Swann, Miss Ste- 88 Ballenger, Mss Cook, Miss Finckle and Miss Pitts.

The ladies of the reception commitice will be Mrs. Olney, Mrs. Dall, Mrs. Foster, Mrs. Hyde, Mrs. Mendonca, Mrs. Miles, Mrs. Page, Mrs. Proctor, Mrs. Sartoris, Miss Dufficid, Miss Han Miss Rochester, Miss Rockhil and Walcott, daught@r of Col. W. H. Walcott, U.S.A., No. 1334 W street no west, gave a valentize party last evening. When the ger.tlemen arrived they selested a scarlet heart card, on which they found the name of the lady to whom they were ex- pected to devote themselves for the first part of the evening. A second selection of cards changed partners all around. Some of the musical and elocutionary efforts given were a piano solo by Mr. Cliendinst, recitation by Miss Beall, bell solo by Miss Walcott, recitation by Mr. Willlam Conley and a guitar solo by Miss Walcott. A v: entine cotillon followed, in the first figure of which the men, standing in line, held up a curtain, which hid them from view, with the exception of their feet. The second curtain figure was for the girls, who were chosen by their hands. The St. Valentine was danced by the men forming a the girls standing in the center, and ientine chorus was sung as partners were chosen. Shooting with bows and ar- rows at a crimson heart target was anoth- er diversicn, for which prizes were award- ed. A dainty supper was served before the company separated. Among the pleasant events of the week was a leap year dance given last night at 1023 12th street by Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Sealey. Dancing was indulged in until 11, when a delightful luncheon was served. The table was decorated with American beauty roses. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Gilfry, Judge and Mrs. R. B. Lamon, Maj. and Mrs. J. M.

A pleasant party was given at the resi- dence of Mr. J. Von Derlehr, 800 2d street northwest, last Tuesday evening.

Miss Nelly Cox of Mt. Pleasant, in honor of her guest, Miss Vira Cox of Annapolis, Md., entertained a few friends at her home last evening. What has lately been intro- duced as the ‘bundle party” was given a trial. Sundry articles were thickly wrapped in cotton and paper, and it was the object of the contestants for first prize to correct- ly guess the contents of the greatest num- ber of packages. Mr. F. Hicks carried off the honors, and Mr. Robert V. Page was awarded the consolation prize. After re- freshments were served, dancing was in- dulged till a late hour. Mrs. Leroy Taylor, jr., and Mrs. Frank Wilson Brown leave tonight for Palm Beach, Fla. Mr. Charles Hart entertained the “P. Cc.” at a “stag party” Friday evening. Among those present were Messrs.
