A NOTABLE ENTERTAINMENT The Executive Mansien in Gala Dress for the Occasion. ———— RECEPTIONS, TEAS, DINNERS President atd Mrs. McKintey entertained at dinner last evening for the first time during the present administration the members of the diplomatic corps. The distinguished guests arrived promptly, the charge of Russia being first to enter, fol- lowed closely by the minister of China, who held by the hand his picturesque little wife. Carriages driving up in quick succession, the company was finally made complete by Mrs. Sheridan, who tripped acress the wide portico holding her white satin skirts from the dust quite five min- utes before the moment for descending to the east room had been reached. The great reception room was illuminated by suft white ceiling light, falling through a green mist of festooned -vines. The pil- lars of the room were garlanded with greenery, and masses of tropical plants ar- tistically screened the side walls, except where the portraits hung. The mantels of the two broad mirrors on the east side of the room were banked with crimson and white towers, and from a profuse grouping of branches red and white azaleas above the mirror tops, a placque of flowers was suspended on each by garlands of vines. ‘fhe other mantels were ornamented by palms and other long-leaved tropical plants alone, but branches of azaleas were clus- tered above them. In the center of the rooms and here and there were circular groups of tall plants, showing every shade of green, every form of leaf. The credit for the unusually pretty effect in the east room is due Mr. George Brown of the propagating gardens. Col. Bingham and Lieut. Gilmore met the guests on their entrance to the east room, and after a short time escorted them to the blue room, where the President and airs. McKinley and Mr. and Mrs. Lafayette Wil- liams of Chicago, guests of the house, awaited them. Mrs. McKinley wore a cos- tume of black velvet, with point lace, and handsome diamonds; Mrs. McWilliams was gowned in white silk, with jewels. The Secretary of State presented the members of the corps as they passed with their la- dies before their distinguished host. The diplomats who appear in uniform at Wash- ington were all in glittering array, with the exception of the Japanese minister, who wore evening dress, and decorations sus- pended about his neck. The British ambassador, dean of the corps, with Lady Pauncefote gowned in Nowered brocade with jewels, led, followed by the German ambassador,the French am- bassador, the Mexican minister and Mrs. Romero, who wore turquoise satin and jewels, the Netherlands minister, the min- ister of Sweden and Norway, the minister of Chile and Mrs. Gana, whose costume was of rose velvet, diamonds and pearls; the minister of Austro-Hungary and Bar- onness Hengelmuller, whose costume was white tulle embroidered with pearls and gold over white satin, bodice of gold iace and embroidery jewels, emeralds and dia- monds; the minister of Switzerland and Mrs. Pioda; the Spanish minister and Mrs. de Lom lver-gray satin, black lace, cerise aigrette in her hair, and jewels; the minister of Denmark, the Hawaiian minis- ter and Mrs. Hatch, the minister of Ecua- dor and Mrs. Carbo, the minister of Por- tugal and Viscomtess Santo Thyrso, the minister of Argentine Republic, the minis- ter of Japan, the minister of Haiti and Mrs. Leger, rose satin and diamonds; the minister of Belgium and Countess Lich- tervelde, the Chinese minister and Mrs. Wu, court dress; the minister of Peru, the minister of Costa Rica and Mrs. Calvo, black satin, diamonds; the charge d’af- faires of Italy, the charge d'affaires of Colombia and Senora Rengifo, pink satin, diamonds and pearls; the charge d’af- faires of Russia, the charge d'affaires of Turkey, the charge d'affaires of the Greater Republic of Central America, Sen- ator and Mrs. Cushman Davis, costume white satin and diamonds; Senator and Miss Morgan, silver-blue satin; Mr. and Mrs. Hitt, costume pearl satin, jewels; Mr. Dinsmore, the assistant secretary of state and Mrs. Day, Mrs. Sheridan, white satin and pearls; Mrs. Hazen. The cards of the guests soon showed them in what order they would go out to the dining room, and presently the Presi- dent led the way with Lady Pauncefote, Mrs. McKinley coming last with the Brit- ish ambassador. Notable coupies that ap- peared together in the procession to the dining room were the Spanish minister with Mrs. Leger, wife of the minister of Haiti; the Chilean minister and Mrs. Wu, wife of the Chinese minister; the Secretary of State and Mrs. Romero. There were twelve ladyless gentlemen, including wid- owers, bachelors and those whose wives are absent from the capital. The banquet table was marvelously light and dainty in appearance, copsidering its generous breadth and length. Pink and white roses in tall vases and bowls of crystal, gold candelabra, the many branch- es shaded with rose color silk; exquisite fruit, and at either end mounds of orchids, amid whose delicate clusters tiny electric lights gleamed like hundreds of colored fireflies, made up the decoration. Presi- dent McKinley had at his right Mrs. Mc- Kinley, at his left Lady Pauncefote, Sir Julian occupying the place of honor beside the hostess. Wines served were: Sherry, Sauterne, a fine red wine, and champagne, one glass being reserved for mineral water. The menu was: Blue points, turtle soup, caviare in jelly, bluefish, with sauce; filet cf veal, sauce, green peas, truffles; frozen punch, terrapin a la Maryland, canvas- back duck, hominy, cucumbers, pistache ice, served with a glace coronet of candy, cakes, bonbons. The President having led the way to the blue room after the banquet, he per- sonally invited the gentlemen to the red room for coffee and cigars. Many small tables were set about the smoking room, at one of which the chief executive seated himself, with Senator Morgan at one side and Senator Davis at the other. Imme- diately in front wassa table at which, fac- ing the host, were grouped the British ambassador, the French ambassador, the German ambassador and the Spanish min- ister. At Mr. Sherman's table the Italian charge, the Belgian and Chinese ministers chatted; Mr. Hitt, with Mr. Romero, Mex- ican minister; charges of Central Ameri- can republics, Venezuela and Colombia; the agsistant secretary of state, Ha- waiian min‘ster and many other interest- ing _ groups. The minister of the Nether- lands walked up and down, visiting the different naticns, as he puffed his evidently satisfactory ciga! - The interesting scene having grown nisty with curling smoke, the President returned with his guests to the blue room, where the ladies were chat- ting, and, after a brief interval of general conversation, the company dis; |. Ow- ing to imperial mourning, ie Coreans were not present. Comment on this first state dinner of the administration is most flattering. Col.
