Cardinal Satol! well Reception by the Misses Will Be Given a Fare- Patten—Personal Notes. The dificulty of getting a presentation at a London drawing room is not any less this spring, and the queen, who, like the sen- sible woman that she is, is sunning herself in the south of France rather than be ex- posed to the uncertainties of the climate of the metropolis even for such a brief period, is represented on these occasions by either the Princess of Wales or the Princess Helena. The latter held the draw- ing room of the present week, and, as is usual ai all these events, looked on a num- ber of fair Americans in the assemblage paying court to royalty. Considering, there- fore that for the rest of the life of the queen it is hardly possible she can endure the fatigue of such a long reception, and @ substitute is rot the thing at all, no matter how madly in love one may be with British institutions, would it not answer just as well to get an invitation or a “‘com- mand” to a Dublin drawing room? The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and the Coun- tess Cadogan are doing the swell thing at Dublin “Cawstle.” At their first drawing room it was so crowded as to be almost uncomfortable. The fashion of the Irish capital, which is essentially that of Lon- don town, was there, and the costumes were the latest edicts of Parisian taste. So numerous were the guests that after waiting what seemed hours, many were forced to leave without ever getting past the threshhold, while dainty costumes were crushed and several debutantes lost their veils. Consequently the event was a tremendous success, and started the Dub- lin season with a magnificent flourish. ‘The Countess of Cadogan appeared in black satin trimmed with finely cut jet. Black velvet bodice with the front of the corsage almost covered with diamond stars and sleeves of netted lace with satin shoul- der rolls. The court train was of black velvet lined with gray satin, and at che extreme end a bunch of feathers and rib- bons. One of the best dressed women present was the Countess of Essex, former- ly Miss Adele Grant of this city. Her gown was of green satin, veiled in net, spangled with silver sequins, the sequins going in waved lines, same encircling the waist; deep fall of old lace on bodice; trails of green ivy round the low corsage, white roses bordering the upper part of sleeves; diamond tiara (pointed) with a rising sun in diamonds fixed on the top. The English home of the Countess of Essex, Casslobury Park, Watford, is one of the loveliest of the old homes in that country. The grounds about the residence extend over 70 acres. The gardens have a wilderness of roses, moss-covered rock- eries, miniature iakes, cedars over three centuries old and beautifully wooded stretches. The great rambling mansion is not half used by its present occupan id ig full of art treasures and valuable reli>s. The only really modern rooms are those in use by its handsome mistress. Lord Essex has a son about twelve years old, Vi count Malden. The countess does not care particularly for society now, though for- merly devoted to it. Coming here as she did after the glamor of several London Seasons, where she was considered the leading beauty, she was a most interesting person. In the Whitney household she was a particular pet, and few young women have been so greatly feted and admired. Her subsequent marriage with the Karl of Essex rounded off brilliantly her girl- hood’s career. Golf, coaching and the wheel have been the diversions of the past week, and wiil be as long as the temperature continues to remain at the happy medium at which it has lingered lately. The utter depend- ence now on the weather for the arrange- ment of seasonable pleasure is not entirely monopolized by members of the smart se: Washington is as much in evidence no: on the streets and suburbs as ever were the residents of the French capital. In their mad devotion to the wheel it often ex- cites comment as to when some of the rid. take time to dine, unless they are, with ethers guests at a country inn. | Now the ladies have gone in for golf, organized a club and erranged for a match next Tuesday. Of the new club, Miss Josephine Patten is president, Mrs. Henry May, vice president; Miss Elsie McKeever, captain of the green, and Miss Lockett, vice captain. The links will be a favorite rendezvous for scciety as long as the match is on. Mrs. Newlands and Miss Cassels gave coaching parties and dimners at Chevy « e the past week. The wedding of Miss Andrade and Mr. Schlottmann, and the tea at Kendall Green given by’ Mrs. Gallaudet were happy events of - resday. Miss Morton's luncheon for Mrs. Cleveland brought an assemblage of de- lightful women together Thursday, and the weather was s:mply perfect for a hos- pitality of this kind. Some of the events of the coming weck will be a reception Thursday evening, May 14, by the Misses Patten, in honor of Car- dinal Satolli, and the wedding of Mi Stewart and Mr. Francis Payson, at Ste’ art Castle Saturday next at 1 o'clock. Mi Stewart has been in New York visiting th family of her fiance the past week, and is expected home today. A company of about a hundred relatives and intimate friends are invited to the ceremony. Mrs. Seymour, mother of the commis- sioner of patents, will celebrate her sev- enty-ninth birthday tomorrow, and the an- niversary will be commemorated by a fami- ly gathering. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Seymour of England, on thetr way to South Afric: Mr, and Mrs. Fred Seymour of Orange, J., and Mr. and Mrs. Newcomb of Jersey City will make up the company. Mr. nd Mrs. Westinghouse have left town for the season, and they will spend the summer as usual at their splendid place at Lenox. Mrs. Barney, Miss Nott, Miss Barney, Miss Hay, Miss Augusta Davies of New York, the Misses Boardman, Mr. Voss, Mr. Eastman, Mr. Harris Lindsley, Mr. Cushing Stetson, Mr. Frank Andrews, jr. Mr. Chandler Hale and Mr. John Lodge dined together at Cabin John last night. Mr. and Mrs. Boardman, Senator and Mrs. McMillan and Mr. and Mrs. Townsend are some of the Washingtonians who will sum- mer at Manchester-by-the-Sea. Miss Augusta Davies of New York is vis- iting her aunt, Mrs. A. R. Stetson. A reception was given last evening by the congregation of the Church of the Covenant in the chapel of the church to the pastor, Rev. Dr. Teunis 8. Hamlin, and Mrs. Hamlin in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the pastorate. The arrangements of the affair were under the direction of the social committee of the Society of the Covenant, and the mem- bers of the committee were the recipients of many congratulations for the beautiful effects produced by the floral decorations of the room and the completeness of all the detail: of the arrangements. A num- ber of the members of the committee formed the receiving party at the entrance to the main room and welcomed the guests, and the latter then passed on and were greeted by Dr. and Mrs. Hamlin. On the wall back of where the pastor and his wife stood was a floral device representing the figures '86 and "96. After everybody had a chance to congratulate the two in whose honor the reception was given the surprise of the evening, at least to Dr. and Mrs. Hamlin, came when a table was brought forth,upon which was an oak chest, containing a full set of solid silver knives, forks and spoons. In addition there was a silver salad bowl and one or two minor pieces. While Dr. Hamlin was recovering from his surprise Mr. William Ballantyne, the senior elder of the church, made a brief and graceful speech, in ‘which he stated that this gift represented the affec- tion and esteem in which the pastor was held by the entire congregation and that it was the gift of the many and not of the few. Dr. Hamlin made a happy and ap- propriate response. During the evening musical selections were rendered by a man- dolin orchestra, and refreshments were served.
