Barker, i2 10FSt. 22 ap14-3m,20 and Mrs. Brice—Personal i Notes, The company assembled at Corcoran House Saturday afternoon participated in one of the most delightful entertainments ever given there. Mr. and Mrs. Brice’s magnificent hospitalities during their Washington residence were seemingly eclipsed by this their last formal pleasure- giving here. There were flowers to wel- come the guests out on the very threshold. They lined the entrance way, made a bower of roses of the hall and decked and beautified each of the drawing rooms and ball room. The floral effect was some- thing so artistic and so splendid that even in a city and in a household where profuse displays of the finest blossoms have been rather frequent it could not be considered anything less than remarkable. American beauty roses in great clusters filled will vases and alternating with snowball bou- quets and dogwood blossoms made the hall a picture worthy of remembrance. Every- where that an artistic effect could be gained the sime profusion of long-stem- med roses and white-hued blossoms excited edmiration. The Marine Band played on the lawn. Fine rugs were spread on the grass here and there, with settees and chairs in close proximity. Miss Warder presided at the tea table, which was spread under a great Jap- anese umbrella. Several other tables were at other points in the spacious garden, where liquid dainties were served, and more re- freshments were to be enjoyed in the din- ing room. ‘The delegates to the postal con gress, who were the guests of honor, were very prompt in attendance and thoroughly enjoyed the gay scene and its opportunities of meeting somany of the capital's noted residents. Mrs. Brice met her guests in the crawing room, and her daughiers and son re-echoed her pleasant welcome on the lawn, where they remained for the most part. The hos- tess was richly gowned in an embroidered ecru lawn, and wore a dainty bonnet. Miss Brice wore pale pink organdie lace, trim- med over rose vink silk, and a becoming large hat. Miss Kate Brice wore lace- striped white mull. The toilets of the younger guests, both matrons and maids, were the daintiest expressions of summer styles. A protographer secured a number of snap shots of the gathering, which will form delightful souvenirs in years to come. Among the guests were the British am- bassador and Lady Pauncefote, the Misses Pauncefote, the French ambassador and Mrs. Patenoctre, Chang Yen Hoon, the Chinese envoy; Mrs. John W. Foster, the Portuguese minisier, the Misses Boardman, Mr. S. Sanford Beatty, Mrs. Jeremiah W. son, Mrs. Haywood, Mr. and Mrs. Charle A. Williams, Miss Miles, Miss Breckin- ridge, Miss Lieber, Mrs. William Lay, Mrs. McKay, Mr. and Mrs. George Gilliland, Mr. and Mrs. Hinckley, Lieut. and Mrs. Clover, Mr. and Mrs. Lowndes, Miss Phenix, Mrs. William Thompson Harris, Mrs. Hen: May, Mrs. McKim, Mrs. Stanley Matthe Miss Addison Mitchell, Mr. Foraker, Mis Foraker, Justice and Mrs.White, Miss Tuck- erman, Mra.

Field, Mr. Boeufve, Representative Newlands, the Misses New- lands, Mrs. and the Misses Wallach, the Corean minister and wife, Mrs. Rengifo, the Venezuelan minister and Miss Andrade, Mrs. Lazo Arriaga, Miss Cockrell, Mrs. and Miss Rochester. The tombola and kettledrum for the Chil- dren’s Hospital Saturday at Rauscher’s was a sreat success. It attracted a large gath- ering of the charitably disposed, who found themselves part of an animated scene, and in the midst of friends. Mrs, Elkins, who had charge of the tombola room, was as sisted by Miss Davis, Miss Belknap, Mr: Sheridan, Mrs. Fendall, Miss Schenck, Mrs. John Rodgers, Mrs. Johnston. Mrs. Fredk. LL.

BI. C. ¢ That Has Led to Mech ent Among Members. The members of the Capital Bicycle Club have been having lots of fun over a whist mateh which was played at the club house last Tuesday night. The club is going to send a team to the whist congress to be held in July, and there is naturally much interest among the members as to who will ccmpose it. In The Evening Star of Tues- day last there was an item to the effect that the C. Bi. C.’s compass whist mateh brought out some beautiful whist, remind- ing one of the old-time activity of the club preparatory for the contest. Then came the following: “Fogg and MacComb headed the strong pairs, and showed what stroke these two are pulling. Fogg is a brainy player, not given to taking flyers and quite conserva- tive, being satisfied with one trick on a hand. MacComb has been known years as a steady, safe, reliable partner. Messrs.
