A high tea was given Wednesday evening by Mrs. Charles Allen, G street, in honor of Major Reamey and his charming wife. The parlors were beautifully decorated in flowers and ferns and the dining room was bright with the national colors. At the marriage next Wednesday at St. Coming PERSONAL GOSSIP A pleasant activity has permeated this |.Weck, from start to finish. The Halstehd- ‘Wilcox wedding started not only the week, but the season, and perhaps as handsome toilets as will be seen this winter were in evidence. Nearly every one, either matron or maid, whose dressing is at all conspicuous for elegance, had donned a rew dress for the occasion, and it war werthy of it. The decorations of the Whittemore residence, the brilliancy of the company and the interesting personnel of the wedding party, made the event a note- worthy one. The guests carried away in the wedding cake boxes ‘pretty souvenirs. These boxes were of kid-finished paper and the monogram of the couple was stamped in silvcr 6n a white satin heart let in the cover. The two receptions and balls mark- ing the debuts of Miss Bell and Miss Ffoulke were other incidents of a gay week and of special interest to the younger set, for whom the latter feature was devised. Fresh dancing gowns was again a much admired phase, and what the capital has set its sanction upon is likely quite decided now in the matter of evening gowns. For- mal dinners have commenced, the embas- sies and legations being, as usual, first in the field, and the Secretary of State and Mrs. Olney the special guests. ‘There has been a deluge of tea invitations and there will be for another week sure, yet the disappearance ef the steaming ket- ue from these festive scenes is absolute. Nobody pretends to offer tea upon any eccasion where large gatherings are pres- ent. The charm of the restful cup is not to be waste where there is not room for its perfect enjoyment in ease and comfort and with a proper appreciaticn of the fine china and dainty service with which it must be accompanied. The “tea’’ has pro- gressed and has grown to be quite as im- portant a feature of Washington entertain- ing as any other hospitality. Instead of tea and wafers, “nothing and a hole througia that,” as a witty woman named the latter once, the refreshment table at these after- noon eyents is bountifully supplied with a great variety of both “hot and cold dishes. When ices and sweets cnly are offered, they should be in great abundance and variety. It is no longer good style to have a hea ily-laden table upon one’s ordinary recep- tion day. That should cnly appear when it has been preceded by an invitation. After seeing the stacks of bouquets sent the Gebutantes for their coming out days, one wonders how long this custom will lust or what will take its -place. There does not seem to be any courtesy So appropriate and so welcome to both bud and parent stem as a bunch of flowers, but already it has grown to be quite a burden, as it was claimed a few years ago about wedding gifts. Taste in these mat- ters suffers such violent changes that like big and little sleeves it is hard to tell what will happen next. Why it should ever have been considered a violation of good taste or as an ostentatious display of rich friends’ regards to display wedding gifts is hard now to explain. Ten years ago it was the proper thing to make as grand a showing as possible. Then came the re- vulsion of feeling, and wedding gifts were as closely hidden from one’s general ac- quaintances as if they had been stolen. The little concession in showing the gifts, but removing therefrom the card of the donor, was the next expression of a very Hiatural feeling that others should enjoy one’s good luck. That is blown to the winds now, and both presents and cards are shown, with the result of everybody being pleased, because it seems the most sensible thing to do. The bouquet idea for the debutantes has only grown to its pres- ent proportions the last two or three years. But at present, as the mother of one of the most attractive of the season's buds, who was making her debut bow in a perfect garden of roses, said the other day, “I think it is the chief reason why the girls want a coming-out party.” Some of the leading events of the coming. week will be: Monday— The Misses Davidge, a tea. ‘Tuesday— Mrs. John Lynch, a tea, 4 to 7, to intro- duce Miss Lynch. Mrs. John A. Baker, a tea, 5 to 7, at which Miss Baker will be presented. Mrs. Edwin McCahill, a tea, 4 io 7, to present Miss Maud Laurens McCahill. Wednesday— Mrs. George C.
