At the official homes of the capital the festival will receive its accustomed celebration. President and Mrs. Cleveland wilk mark their last Christmas in the White House by the delightful and joyful observances which have hitherto characterized their en- joyment of the day. It is.the day for their children, and they will give most of their time to erjoy it with the three young la- dies of the nursery. There will be a Christmas tree of unusual proportions and upusual beauty, and the children will have their little friends, notably the cabinet chiidren, to share its bewildering and daz- zling beauties with them. Mrs, Cleveland receives always a large number of holiday gifts, and she gives just as generously. It is not likely, unless Mrs. Cleveland’s mother comes that early for her winter visit, that there will be any other guesis to join the family at their Christmas din- ner. The Vice President and Mrs. Stevenson, with their son, Mr. Louis Stevenson, and his wife and Miss Stevenson, will spend the holidays here. Mrs. Scott and her daugh- ter, Miss Scott, whose marriage to Mr. Vrooman of Baltimore will take place here during the winter, will be here after Christ- mas. The Secretary of State and Mrs. Olney and their daughter, Mrs. Minot, and her young son are a quartet for their Christmas dinner, but are likely to have several friends to join them. Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle would find Christmas and the holiday season very dull without the presence of Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Carlisle and their handsome trio of children. They always give up the day to their entertainment and hope for the same pleasure this year. Secretary and Mrs. Lamont will celebrate Christmas under their own roof-tree, and their happy young daughters with them. ‘There is always a Christmas tree in their holiday enjoyment, ‘and there is one more member of the household in the person of Miss Katharine to admire its shining beau- ty this time. Secretary and Miss Herbert will observe the day in the good old southern style, and the presence of the children of Mr. and Mrs. Micou will give the reason for the Christmas tree and its attendant festivities Postmaster General Wilson and his wife, with their interesting family circle, will celebrate in their usual way and are likely to have additional gu>sts at their Christ- mas dinner. Attorney General and Mrs. Harmon make a reunion of the day—as their married daughter and family will be on from Philadelphia to enjoy it with them. Secretary and Miss Morton expect to spend the day at the Portland and are not looking forward. to any visits from the Secretary’s -sons and their families until later in the winter. Secretary and Mrs. Francis will have their five sons at home from college for the holidays, and the family will enjoy their first eastern Chrtstmas. Mrs. Stevenson and all the cabinet ladies will receive New Year day. Today Miss Emory, daughter of Com- mander and Mrs. Emory, will make her debut at a 5 o'clock tea. ‘Next week's caiendar of events languishes because of the coming of Christmas. Some of the hospitalities will be for Wednesda: Mrs. Wharton, a tea, to meet Mrs. Viele; Mrs. Gordon McKay, a tea. It does not seem as if there would be any lack of festivity during the holidays. Great and small dances, which would be the order of things if society was welcoming itself at country houses instead of city homes, are on the cards for both Christmas and New Year eve, with an even chance that a New Year night meeting will stili be arranged as the wind-up of some of the official re- ceptions of that day. Mrs.- Boardman will give the Christmas dence; Mrs. John Hay, a dance on the 28th at Rauscher’s; Mrs. John S. Ward, the 29th; the Chevy Chase Hunt Club on the 30th, and Mrs. Leiter's cotillon on the 31st. Mrs. Brice will give a dinner and cotillon New Year night. Invitations began flying about some time ago for the New Year day receptions, although the lists are likely to receive many additions up to the last moment. The early January balls are al- ready arranged for. The coming-out bail for Miss Bessie Fox will be given by Mrs. Stewart January 5, and the first of the Bachelors’ germans takes place on the 6th. January promises to be quite as gay as the present month, and much busier in. the way of dancing events. The cabinet houses will be all open and the pleasant round of hospitalities in this circle will go on as usual, Mrs. Romero went to Philadelphia yes- terday to make a little visit with some friends. Mrs. Charles G. Dulin began last Wed- nesday to receive her friends, informally, at her new residence, 1730 16th street. A spe- cial feature of the arrangements of the house is the spacious music room on the third floor. Mrs. Dulin will receive Wed- nesdays, informally, during this and next month. Lady Pauncefote and the Misses Paunce- fote were at home to invited guests yes- terday, and the British embassy was the social rendezvous for those hours. Col. and Mrs. A. T. Britton gave a hand- some dinner Tuesday evening. Senator and Mrs. Cameron entertained at dinner Tuesday night. Mrs. Stanley Matthews gave a violet luncheon Tuesday, in honor of Mrs. Car- isle. The Guatemalan minister and Mrs. Lazo Arriaga will give a dinner tonight, Mrs. Sowers will entertain a company of young people at dinner tonight. Miss Mira Noyes left Washington yester- day for California, where she will spend the winter with her mother, who is stay- ing there for the benefit of her: health. Mrs. James Y.
