MIDWINTER FESTIVITIES A Round of Elegant Entertainments Marks This Season. PERSON ALNOTES OF INTEREST The streets present a brilllant scene this afternoon, superb équipages with liveried and cockaded coachmen and footmen dash- ing here and there on their way to va- rious’ official houses, with ,burdens of beauty and finery. If the days of the week at the capital were symbolized, white gloves would mean Wednesday. One mar- vels at the avalanche of white kid that de- scends on cabinet households from 3 to 5, when the wives of the secretaries and their fair aids are fairly snowed under with im- maculate hand clasps. The question of abandoning trimmings of plumage for mercy’s sake and because fine feathers are a result of the murder of harmiess melodious songsters loses force by compar- ison with the practical “slaughter of inno- cents” of which so many spotless kid gloves are the elegant result. Lessening the reception hours has brougui avout a Wednesday dress parade on Connecticut avenue. From 5 to 6 o'clock each midweek afternoon callers who travel afoot have an hour at their disposal that custom has formed to official visiting. The public, not yet having learn- ed how to dispose of the superfluous hour dedicated by habit to officio-social obser- vation and intercourse, has apparently taken to Connecticut avenue en masse to think the matter out. The vice presidential residence, on Lafay- ette square, is one of the most luxuriousiy appointed and tastefully arranged homes at the capital. Mrs. Hobart, wife of the Vice President, is receiving this afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock, assisted by Mrs. Wil- liam Barbour of New York, Mrs. Sanford, Mrs. Newton, Mrs. H. 8. Corbett, Mrs. James M. Johnston, Mrs. John Poor, Mrs. Walton, Misses Barbour, Alice Warder, Margarita Gana, Grant and Stanton. The wife of the Secretary of State, Mrs. John Sherman, is receiving. Mrs. Miles, the Misses Horstmann, Miss Lizzie Sher- man and Mrs. Griffiths are her assistants. Mrs. Gage, wife of the Secretary of the Treasury, is receiving, assisted by Miss Lucy Page of New York, her guest, and several other ladies. Mrs. Alger, wife of the Secretary of War, is receiving. Assisting Mrs. Alger are Mi: Alger, Miss Irene Swift of Detroit and other ladies. Mrs. Long, wife of the Secretary of the Navy, is receiving, assisted by Miss Long, Mrs. Rixey, Mrs Clover, Mrs. Souther- land, Mrs. Castle, Miss White, Miss Glover, Miss Simpkins, Miss Lovering and Miss Wetmore. Mrs. Griggs, wife of the recently ap- pointed Attorney General, is not yet in the city, and Mrs. McKenna, wife of the for- mer Attorney General, has taken her place among the ladies of the judiciary. Mrs. Bliss, wife of the Secretary of the Irterior, and Miss Bliss, her daughter, left Washington for New York this morning. Mrs. Gary, wife of the Postmaster Gen- eral, is receiving, assisted by the three Misses Gary, Mrs. Janes and Mrs. Levering and Miss Basshor of Baltimore, Mrs. Stan- ley Brown, Mrs. Chatard and Miss Kit- tridge of New York. Miss Wilson, daughter of the Secretary of Agriculture, is receiving. Assisting her are: Mrs. Daizell, Mrs. Heath, Mrs. Gear, Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Steele, Mr: Belknap, Misses Talmage, Sweitzer, Gor- ham, Clark and White. President Dule of Hawaii and Mrs. Dole will be guests of President and Mrs. Mc- Kinley at dinner Tuesday, February 1. The company will be made up of distinguished personages. Mrs. Charles Pike, guest of Mrs. Alger, has returned to Chicago. Mrs. Henry Lee Heiskell is giving a tea this afternoon for her daughter, Miss Es- telle Heiskell. Mrs. John W. Bayne is hostess this after- noon at a tea for Miss Mae Ashby Bayne, her daughter. Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett has sent out cards for a reception tonight at 9 o'clock. Senator Stephen B. Elkins and Mrs. El- kins will give a large reception this even- ing. President McKinley, President Dole, ex-President Harrison and ‘“‘members of the cabinet,” past and present, senators and representatives will be present. The diplomatic dinner tonight will be an affair of more interest than even such state functions usually are. The large number of guests, the regretted absence of several ladies of embassies and legations give yet the delightful opportunity for the Presence of the pretty daughters of the cabinet. The new ambassador of France, M, Cambon, whose wife is in Paris; the bachelor ambassador of Germany, M. Hol- leben; Count Guillo Vinci, bachelor charge @affaires of Italy; the bachelor ministers of Norway and Sweden; of the Nether- lands; of Denmark; M. Meron, whose wife is now in South America; the bachelor charge d'affaires of Russia, M. de Wol- lunt; the charge of Turkey; the bachelor charge of the Central American Republics, must each have fair partners allotted them at the banquet table. The burning diplo- matic question of the hour is, next to whom will a certain charming official girl be seated? Will the young bachelors be paired with matrons, and debutantes fall to the lot of temporarily widowed fathers of families, or will the young men and maidens have a chance “together” to re- member a “monstrous” stately function as “a jolly good time?” Reflection tends to the supposition that the first diplomatic dinner of this administration can in no wise be regarded as a demonstration against international alliances. The President and Mrs. McKinley enter- tained at dinner last evening ex-President and Mrs. Harrison. The host and hostess stood to recelve their guests in the crimson- carpeted corridor near the doorway of the blue room. Mrs. McKinley wore a hand- seme white silk gown, Mrs. Harrison was gowned in black satin with corsage trim- ming of scarlet flowers, and Mrs. Raymond Patterson were white brocade with frills of blue tulle and French pink velvet knots on the bodice and in ker hair. Mr. Joseph A. Medill of Chicago and Mr. Raymond Pat- terson, his son-in-law, were other guests. The table decorations were orchids. Misses Mabel McKinley and Mary Bar- bour were among the guests of Assistant peenctary: of State and Mrs. Day last even- ing. The Vice President and Mrs. Hobart gave a dinner last night. Guests were the chief justice and Mrs. Fuller, Senator and Mrs. Lodge, Col. Corbin, Senator and Mrs. Wet- more, Judge and Mrs. Nott, Mrs. Newton, Mr. John Addison Porter, Miss McKenna, Col. and Mrs. William Barbour of New York, who are visiting the house; Mr. and Mrs. Hornblower, Mr. Boutelle and Mrs. Sanford. ‘The Secretary of State and Mrs. Sherman invited for dinner last evening a number of members of the diplomatic corps and la- dies and others. Present were the Chinese minister and Mrs. Wu, the Brazilian min- man ambassador, Senator and Mrs. Quay, Senator and Mrs. Cushman Davis, Miss Lizzie Sherman, Lieut. and’ Mrs. Baker, Mr. and Mrs. Henry ‘A pretty luncheon was given Monday at THE SOCIAL WORLD]= Heath and Mrs. George B. Williams, many hundreds of friends yester- afternoon. who wished them “a happy age had residence, which was of azure satin, embroidered and de- signed in Asiatic style, and her 3 ats tracted much comment. Mrs. Schneider, Mrs. Kwai, Miss Gorham, Miss Maud Tal- mage, Miss May Morgan, Miss Winifred Mattingly, Miss Condit-Smith and the Misses McKinney assisted in the dining Toom, Mrs. Yang pouring tea. The table was ornamented by masses of pink roses and pink shaded candelabra. In the ball room, where an orchestra was stationed, young people danced all afternoon. Every one prominent in diplomatic, official and residential circles attended. The Tuesday German Club, which met at Rauscher’s last evening, was largely at- tended, forty-two couples taking part in the cotilion. Mrs. Claude Swanson, Mrs. Philip Darneilie, Mrs. J. C. Kooney, Mrs. G. Wythe Cook and Mrs. J. K. Jones chaperoned. The cotillon was ably led by Mr. Archer Robert, with Miss Nellie Grif- fiths as partner. Mrs. Wallace Radcliffe will entertain at @ tea in honor of Miss Swift of Detroit, guest cf Mrs. Alger, Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Pettigrew, wife of Senator Petti- grew, will give a musicale Friday aftcr- noon at 2 o'clock. Mrs. Perry S. Heath sent out cards this afternoon for a tea in honor of Miss High of Chicago. Miss High will arrive in Washington Wednesday and will be the gvest of Mrs. Heath. The dance at the British ambassy is to be a bal poudre, and society ts busy fur- bishing red c®ats and knee breeches choosing French gowns and court p patches. The ball room will no doubt pre- sent a brilliant and picturesque scene and much fun be the result among the myriad “court ladies” and” their galiants. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wilson were “at heme” last evening to more than five hundred friends, including all persons Prominent in official and residential so- ciety. Flowers and palms beautified the handsome drawing rooms, library, dining rooms and hallways, through which the fashionable throng passed. Mrs. Wilson wore a Parisian gown of flowered silk and trimmed about throat and sleeves with black and white chiffon. Mrs. J. Frank Wilson and Miss Alisan Wilson assisted the host and hostess in greeting the many guests. Lieut. Gilmore, with Miss Ethel Horst- mann, led the ‘bachelors’ german” at the National Rifles’ Armory last evening. Decorations were jonquil yellow, and Mrs. Boardmann received. The favors were un- usually pretty, and a large gathering of the smart set was present. Mrs. Jesse Heiskell of Washington is spending the present week in Baltimore with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Howard M. Hickery. at their home in West Biddle Street, having gone over to receive with Mrs. Vickery and the Misses Vickery at the last of their January receptions given on Tuesday afternoon.
