OTHER TIMELY GOSSIP The feminine newcomers in. official fam- ilies are beginning to enjoy the bitter sweets of their position in the same pro- portion as are the heads of their house- holds who have the patronage to dispense. The Jadies must see to it that their hus- band’s or father’s visiting cards and their own are properly distributed and within a reasonable interval from the date of their last reception, for which they have the traditional peck measure of flimsy Bristol board as souvenirs. Those who imagine that the proper knowledge or ap- preciation of these little exchanges here is of no moment beside other great ques- tions agitating the social mind are not aware that before the administration was three days old some of the most promi- rent of its probable leaders were asking questions from those better informed and immediately putting the information thus gained to use. A brief resume of polite pr@edure will be useful at this time. It is scarcely necessary to repeat that the wife of the President does not return calls. The same immunity has been grant- ed tne wife of the Vice President, except- ing in the Senate circle. The wife of the cepting upon the ambassadors’ families. cepting upon the ambassador's families. The ambassadors and families make no first calls unless at the White House, and while the President and his wife may and do enter cfficial or private homes, they do not enter either a foreign embassy or lega- tion. The next body claiming precedence is the Supreme Court. The court calls on the Vice President and at the embassies. The cabinet calls first at the embassics and upon the Senate. The cabinet ladies return visits by card in theory. In prac- tice, t call upon all the people they know, and upon al! to whom they may be ander social obligation, whether of cepted hospitalities or otherwise. As the: are the most generally called upon of an! in the official list, the widest latitude is permitted as to what extent they may go in returning visits. Excepting at the bassies and upon the Supreme Court, senatorial families make no other first calls. The families longest in the senatorial circle receive first call: from those of less service, and this rule rarely put aside. While the dignity of the ambassadorship has been defined and the first call is their right, these past masters in polite cere- mory do not adhere to the letter of the law. Both the ambassadors and ministers are quick to offer the prompt courtesy of a first call to the official heads of the com- munity in which they reside. ‘The value of a former residence in Wash- ington has a bearing during these first whirls of the administration’s social ma- chinery. Mrs. McKinley herself is a charm- ing example of it. She knows the popular interest in the White House and its mis- tress, no matter who the latter may hap- pen to be—when she was a guest there and, in fact, its presiding lady temporarily dur- ing Mrs. Hayes’ absence for two weeks— she had a chance to appreciate this point thoroughly. She is personally fond of see- ing people and wants them to feel at home at the White House, the same as they would in calling on a friend in any another home. She would like friends to drop in at any time if it were practical with all the demands made upon her time, but intimate friends have the privilege of calling after uinner, as. well as during the afternoon. Miss Long, the daughter of the Secretary of the Navy, who will preside for her father until her mother comes on next fall, also enjoys the privilege of a former Wash- ington residence. Those who called on her Wednesday have already received her card in recognition of their visit. The Misses Gary have been equally prompt in return- ing calls, “The stir made by the informal reception of some in the cabinet circle and other so- jabilities of the week have pleasantly varied the Lenten calm. Of special note was the brilliant reception to Senator and Mrs. Platt, given by Lieut. and Mrs. Clover Wednesday night. It was the first large meeting of the social clans since late in February, and was correspondingly «n- Joyed. Every feature was perfect, an in- comparable host and hostess, a splendid home, a supper fit for the gods and an as- semblag* of persons, both of official and ident importance. After such a feast society can patienUy pass veral quiet weeks. The Lenten diversions as provided arc of a distinctly improving character, but it is understood that the audien so far could be counted very easily, and the total re- membered by looking at two hands. The old-fashioned sewing circles, with dancing attachments, in the shape of late masculine arrivals, seem to require too much energy to organize, or have fallen into discredit, because the breezy, bracing effect of bowl- ing, bicycling and riding among the tailor- made girls, appears to have the up} hand. The lecture and reading season about to begin is with the next week and perhaps a change may be noted. It is just at a time like this, when a dead- ly dullness prevails that the unexpected may happen and something startling oc- cur. Society has to admit that there is no Mrs. Brice to make a continuous chain of musical and literary performances to bridge the Lenten season, and her name is repeated nowadays with fond regrets. Brices are enjoying a well-carned of rest and travel, amid new scenes in the south, although it is hard to imagine any pleasure they have not tasted nor any place they have not seen. The genius who will plan something unique in ihe way of a society exhibition or varad2 for Easter week, of course, for sweet charity’s sake will really put the whole body from foun dation to upper turrets Under imme: obligation. Miss Helen Carroll has written to inti- mate friends here, announcins her engage- ment to Mr. Herbert Deiano Robbins of New York, and that the marriage will take place very soon, immediately after Easter, it is surmised. President and Mrs. McKinley entertained the Vice President and Mrs. Hobart and Senator and Mrs. Hanna at a family din- ner last night. A progressive euchre party was given at the National Rifles’ armory last even- ing, under ihe auspices of the “Edentes,” a social organizatien composed of some of the active and horncrary members of the Rifles. Playing began at 8 o'clock and at 10:30 a collation was served in the lower hall, after which the party returned to the upper hall and danced until the “we sma’ hours.”’ Prizes were won as follows: First, second and third ladies’ prizes, by Miss Owen, Mrs. Clipper. and Miss A. Mii- ler; the gentlemen's prizes were won by Messrs. Taylor, Stokes and Dr. Stewart. Consolation prizes were given to Miss Wells and Mr. Way. Lieut. Commander Rush has been de- tached from duty in the Navy Department and ordered to command the U. 8. S. Michi- gan, at Erie, Pa. Mrs. and Miss Rush will cleso their house in Jefferson place for the season, and will accompany Commander Rush to the lakes, gaing later to their coun- try place on the Hudson river. The regular meeting of the L. K. Euchre Club was held at the residence of Miss Ella Frazier, 504 Rhode Island avenue, Monday evening. After the game the win- ners of the several prizes were announced as follows: Mrs. W. A. Torrey and Mr. H. L. Frazier, first prizes; Mrs. Will Smith and Mr. Chas. Walker, second prises, while the consolation prises were carried off by Mrs. C. B. Caywood and Mr, H. W. Heinv. The company then adjourned to the dining room, where supper was served.

The local wholesale produce market pre- sents today about the same condition ob- servable a week ago, the general feeling being one of firmness with practically un- changed prices. Butter is somewhat firmer in all grades, a healthy feeling prevailing. The lower grades remain quiet. The re- ceipts of cheese are still moderate, there being a good foreign and an increasing do- mesiic demand. The arrivals of fresh goods are small. Eggs are a fraction lower, and the trade is somewhat duller, the receipts being very liberal. There is a better de- mand for poultry, both dressed and live sicck, but remain as last quoted.
