The sunlight and the joy of Easter have ccme again to bless the earth, or gt least they were on hand yesterday, and every hour the day grew older made it that much balmier and more Ike the ideal festival. The gay attire which seemed so much in keeping with the weather yesterday must be hidden today under mackintoshes, but bright skies will come again, and the new frocks and hats which have received their first inspection will have other days of glory and use. Easter was eagerly antici- pated by the social world. Notwithstand- ing all the encouragement and praise such efforts as were made received, the past winter, being the “off year,” was not hi- lariously gay, and Lent, excepting vor the dinner goers and givers, was excep:ionally dull. In some lines the Eastertide will pre- sent many interesting features, particular- ly In the weddings. With some the public is already pleasantly familiar, yet there are others on which the gossipers are now culminating all their strength, and which must lead in a very short t!me to public an- nouncements of the happy day. The Easter parade on Connecticut avenue was gay with color, but it was far from being what has often marked the day. The season is too early, and furs were just as comfortable the earlier part of the day as they were all the past month. There were, however, an abundance of new frocks and hats; more in the afternoon than morning naturally, a great many of them looking more startling than they will a fortnight hence. The swell young woman was more conspicuous among the morning church goers than among the afternoon prome- naders. She wore a tailor-made gown, and a becoming shade of blue seemed the favor- ite selection. The skirt had lapped seams; so had the short single-breasted jacket. Some of the jackets had jabots of lace down white satin vests. The hats on these well-gowned young women were reguiar bouquets, mounted on rough straw. Seme hats were all roses, with a little rose bush to give the becoming height at one side. Others were wreaths of violets and green leaves, with stiff, stylish loops of mauve ribbon standing or flat on the crown. Miss Martha Hichborn never looked pret- tier than in her tailor suit of blue cloth. A neck ribbon of pale straw-colored satin was worn and tied in a small bow at the back. The hat was of dark rough straw, trimmed with bunches of violets and cro- cuses around the front, and stiff Alsatian bows of green and mauve ribbon at the back. Mrs. John Davis wore a combination of violet and mauve shades in gown and hat, and Miss May Williams the new cut velyet in black and yellow effects, with a stylish black hat. Mr. Robert M. Larner, whose =eo8 with Miss Harriet Adelaide De Freest wi take place at Troy, N. Y., Wednesday at- ternoon, will leave for that city today, and will be accompanied by a number of Wash- ington friends, who will be present at the festivities attending the nappy event. Mr. Larner’s two sisters, Miss Larner and Miss Eveline Larner; his best man, Mr. Fred 8. Smith; Mr. H. L. West, Mr. and Mrs. George Rouzer, Dr. H. L. E. Johnson and Mr. Colin Studds will make up the party. The cere- mony will take place at the residence of the bride's father, Mr. Charles W. De Freest, and will be largely attended by home friends as well as those from a distance. The bride, who will so soon be a Washington resident, and who will receive the warmest welcome both from her own friends and those of her future husband, will have two pretty attendants in the persons of her little nieces, After a bfief wedding trip, the couple will return here and go to house- keeping at 520 18th street. Mrs. and the Misses Larner are now residing at 1704 F street. ~ At the wedding tonight at St. John’s Church of Miss Mildved Hutcheson, daugh- ter of Representative ‘and Mrs. Joseph C. Hutcheson, and Mr. Edward Mugge_ of Houston, Texas, Miss Maud De Witt Tal- mage, daughter of Rev. Dr. Taimage, will be maid of honor; Mr. L. Parks of Hous- ton, Texas, will be best man, and Mr. An- drew Parker and Lieut. Theodore Vogel- gesang will be ushers. The bride's baby sister, little Rozalie Winifred Hutcheson, who is four years old, will be her flo bearer. She will be dressed in fluffy white tulle, and carry a basket filled with lilies of the valley. The bride will wear a youth- ful toilet of white tulle white satin, a tulle veil and will carry white lilacs. The maid of honor will be gowned in white chiffon, and carry Iilies of the valley. The bride’s mother will wear gray chiffon and velvet, end will be attended by the youth- ful brothers of the bride, Master Palmer Hutcheson and Cadets Jce and Ailen Hutcheson, all of whom are home from college for the holidays. Immediately af- ter the ceremony the couple will go to New York, and after an extended trip, will re- side in Houston, Texas. The Misses Mary H. and Hannah T. Green of Roaring Branch, Pa., and Miss Katherine M. Green of Ralston, Pa. are here for a short stay, and will be picased to see their friends at 535 Florida avenue.

Catron has returned with her two children from a two months’ visit to Ficrida, She will remain at the Fredonia until the summer season. wie SS In the Churches. Eastertide furnished the theme for the sermons in the churches yesterday. The fine weather tempted thousands out of doors, and the houses of worship were crowded. Beautiful decorations added to the joyousnzss of the occasion, Easter lilies, jonquils, roses and palms and other Plants and flowers being used in profusion to adorn the-chancels and altars and pul- pits. Especial attention was paid to the music, and the elaborate programs of an- thems, carols and choruses published in Saturday's Star were carried out. The flowers, the music and the sermons all combined to commemorate the glad anni- versary. In the Catholic, Episcopalian and Luth- eran charches, in which the Easter festi- vai is one of the most notable in the eccle- siastical calendar, particular emphasis was piaced upon the day, and unusual services were held. Cardinal Satolli celebrated sol- emn high mass at St. Aloysius Church at 11 o'clock, anu especial interest attached to his presence there, as, with perhaps one exception, it was his last public appearance prior to his departure for Rome to partic- ipate in the concluding ceremonies incident to his elevation to his new dignity. The fifth anniversary of the Ninth Street Christian Church was celebrated yester- day with appropriate services. In review- ing the history of the church during the half decade of its existence, Rev. Mr. E. B. Bagby raid that there had been 559 addi- tions to the ch and 994 scholars en- rolled in the Suhday school, from which 238 conversions had been reported. ol. Wilson's Report of Operations on Them During Last Month. . Visitors to the Monument — Wires Should Be Pat Underground or on Higher Poles. |. J. M. Wilson has made a report to the chief of engineers of operations on public buildings and grounds during the mcnth of March, from which it appears that all the parks and reservations are in &s good condition as the season of the year will admit. At the Executive Mansion m-inor repairs were made to the roof, to the plumbing, ughting and heating apparatus, and to the furniture, where necessary. The large collection of valuable plants in the verious green houses was maintained in excellent condition, and the propagation of subtropical and bedding plants for use in the grounds during the season of 1896 has been continued. There -were 10,487 visitors to the top of the Washington monument during the month, of which number 8,414 made the ascent by the elevator and 2.073 by the stelrway, making a total of 1,206,207 -per- sons who have visited the top since the monument was opened to the public, Oc- toler 9, 1888. ‘The steam engineer in charge reports the elevator engines to be in as geod condition as when placed in position about fifteen years ago, and says that in his long experience with steam engines he has never seen any that have accomplished the same amount of work with so little Phe 1 ‘The water supply from the springs in the middle of Franklin Park ‘Taving been.
