With the advent of the new year the social events at the nation’s capital crowd fast upon the heels of each other. The winter promises to be one of unusual activity in society circles—and many important receptions, dinners and balls are down on the social calen- dar. We have made extensive preparations for supplying all the necessary footwear for these occasions—the store and stock are ready as never be- fore to meet every demand made upon them. We have everything in the line of evening slippers—a stock that is so varied in its styles and so immense in its quantities that every taste can be suited. They're not the ordinary styles seen at other shoe shops in this city—but the “novelties” of the footwear world that no other establish- ment in Washington but ours can show you. Dainty evening slippers of every fashionable sort—slip- pers of bronze—of kid—of satin—of suede—and of pat- ent leather. Our stock of satin slippers contains almost every shade usually worn—and for those who wish unusual shades to match gowns we go to the trouble of making them to order. More new styles in skating boots for ladies and men. Long ago we became noted for this sort of footwear—and we've added to our fame con- stantly.

Unless the unexpected happens, next week will be the dullest of the season thus far. What is on the cards is extremely in- teresting, but there is not quite enough of it. The Russian New Year celebration, through Mr. Wollant’s courtesy, is of itself an event of special note to the danc- ing contingent, as well as.to the others who like something just a bit out of the common. The New Year celebration last year at the Russian legation was an all- day affair. Tables were spread with all manner of dainty dishes, prepared tn Rus- sian style, and every one. who came par- took without being asked, as such is the Russian custom on the great holiday. An- other indication that the ,events of the coming week will be very interesting in- deed to those who like to hear of the small squabbles which mar half the pleasure of living is the fact that two hostesses have taken the same night, and it will be fun to the lookers-on to see who has the strongest drawing power. Before the week closes, too, the President and his wife will have emerged from the mourning retirement they have observed for the past month to dine with their neighbors, the Vice Presi- dent and Mrs. Hobart. The hospitable feeling which has been stored up for the Vice President and Mrs. Hobart is now finding an outlet, They now dine at home but few times each week, and have numer- ous engagements ahead for dinners and other courtesies. The Secretary of the Interior and Mrs. Bliss have dinner invitations out for Feb- ruary 4 to meet President and Mrs. Mc- Kinley. It seems to be understood that when the President will dine ‘4t the various cabinet homes this winter the guest lists will not be confined to the other members of the cabinet, a custom wiiich has pre- vailed for cight or ten years...The greatest cining-out President ever known probably was Mr. Arthur. He invariably met at dinner his own special favorites, but also the other prominent people of the day, as well as the visiting longs, }ind there ts not any good reason wify such a practice should not be resumed. ie After the Russian New Yegr celebration will come the Chinese, whioh ‘will be mark- ed by a tea at the Chinese legation, 4 to 6, Tuesday, January 25, for which the cards are already out. Minister and Mrs. Wu received callers yesterday, afternoon and had the pleasent assistance@f Mrs. Schnei- der and Mrs. Kwai, Seer ee ranyarte of @ recently appointed. Diplomatic receptions are rather the or- der of this month. Lady Pauncefote and her daughters were at home to their friends yesterday and will continue to receive Fri- days this month. Baroness Hengelmuller will receive this afternoon and subsequent Saturdays tnis month, and Mrs. Romero will be at home to callers, 3 to 6, Tues- days, January 18 and 25. The society event of the season in which everybody, charitably disposed people, as Well as those fond of gay events are inter- ested, and for which all other social func- tions make way, is the charity ball gfven every year for the benefit of the Children’s Hospital. Wednesday, the 19th instant, is the date fixed for this season's entertain- ment, and it is quite safe to predict that it will be one of the great attractions of the year, Among the leading events of the coming week will be for Monday— HT Commander and Mrs; Rithardson Clover, a dinner, Monday night, dance at Rauscher’s Hall.
