President and Mrs. Cleveland will enter- tain the cabinet at dinner tonight. Among the cut-of-town guests will be Mr. and Mrs. Don Dickinson, ex-Postmaster Gen- eral and Mrs. Bissell, and ex -Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith. Mr. and Mrs. Dickingon are guests at the White House. The first reception of the winter for Mrs. Steverson and the cabinet ladies had the welcome accompaniment of clear skies and sidev.a’ks, and the air was just wintry enough to make a pleasant fireside appre- ciated. Mrs, Stevenson received in the par- lor suite at the Normandie, each room of which was elaborately decked with palms, ferns and roses. In her pleasant group of assistents there were Mig. Lewis Greea Stevenscn, Mrs. Kincaid of California, Miss Clara A. Brown of Illinois, the Misses Sin- clair of Boston, Miss Sartoris, Miss Mc- (anahan, Miss Burroughs, Miss Letitia Stevenron and Miss Parsons of St. Louis. In the third parlor a prettily arranged tea table was spread, and Miss Brown, who is visiting Miss Stevenson, did the honors. Mrs. Olney had a large reception, the diplomatic corps especial! being fully represented. Assisting her were Mrs. Minot, Mrs. Knagenhjelm, Mrs. J. N.

Carlisle and Miss Ham- lin presided at the tea table. The Misses Carlisle and Master John G. Carlisle were not only useful but decidedly ornamental assistants in meeting their mother's and grandmother's frien 1s. Mrs. Lamont’s house was, as tt always is on festive occasions, thronged from the moment her reception began. The rooms, still bright in their Christmas decoration of wild laurel and scarlet ribbons, were fra- grant with roses and sweet blossoms. The residential force in society, with the army circle, was especially in evidence, and the drawing rooms were always full of people well acquainted with each other, as well as the stranger element, for which the home of the Secretary of War has alw: strong attractions. Mrs. Lamont was as- sisted by Mrs. Wheeler, Mrs. Lancaster, Mrs. Baldwin, Mrs. Weeks, Miss Fuller, Miss Mendonca, Miss Hurst, Miss Miles, Miss Douglas, Miss Adele Williams, Miss Cassels and Miss Newlands. Mrs. Harmon had a very pleasant re- ception, and entertained throngs of visit- ors, who will recall the occasion with pleasure.

Mrs. Wilson held another of the largely attended afgernoons, with the pleasant as- sistance of Miss Asquith and Miss Baylor, her guests, and Miss Wilson. Miss Herbert and Mrs. Micou had with them for the afternoon Mrs. William Rice, Mrs. and Miss Davis, Mrs. Hichborn and Miss Voorhees. Mrs. Francis had a charming reception and realized in the minds of her callers all the pleasant anticipations formed of her. A sweet tinkle of m the threshold was passed, and the merry dancing in the Moorish ball room, with which the house is always associated, gave its old-time welcome. Mrs. Francis was prettily dressed in a pale yellow silk and black net, and her cordial manner and the pleasant things she was so well able to say to each visitor introduced her most delight- fully to the throngs of people who came in strangers, but went away friends. In the dining room on a flower-decked table a dainty collation of ices and sweets was spread. Assisting the hostess were her guest, Miss Boyd of St. Louis, Mrs. Price Lane, Mrs. Eckels, Miss Batcheller, the Misses Sheridan and Miss Horstman. Miss Morton's reception gave, as always, a few moments for a little chat with an exceedingly pleasant woman. Entertain- ing her guests also were Mrs. Sternberg, Mrs. and Miss Cabell and Miss Conrad. Mrs. Reed, wifé of the Speaker, received in her apartments at the Shoreham, a had a pleasant reception from 3:30 till 6. Miss Reed was with her mother. 4 The Bachelors’ cotillion last night was ured ball, that effective color entering into all the decorations of the Rifles’ Hail and throwing a rosy hue over the entire assemblage. The favors were clusters of lies tied with red ribbons for the ladies, and boutonnieres for the men. Holiy wreaths tled with red ribbons, with rib- bons and bells, were used in the second figure. Mrs. Wallach was the hostess for the club and Lieut. Thomas 8. Rodgers led the cotillion.

N., and Ensign Richard Harrison Jackson of the navy. Palms and white blossoms decked the platform and pulpit. The ushers were-Ensigns Bertolett, Kenham, Bristol, Washington and Ever- hart.
