THE SOCIAL WORLD Overwhelming Guests With Surprises in Cotillon Favors. SOME NOTABLE ENTERTAINMENTS Numerous Receptions and Lunch- eons Are the Order of the Day. PERSONALNOTES OF INTEREST Of all the bric-a-brac of fashion, noth- ing is quite so pretty as the cotillon favors. Art and eccentricity have united to make these toys of grown-up folks dainty and odd to distraction, and no hostess is hap- pier than she who can devise some new idea for overwhelming her guests with satin papier mache surprises. The quaint sedan chair, the huge broad-brimmed hat on wheels, have each had their delightful day, and a new and Masonic creature has supplanted them. At the recent cotillon given by Miss McMillan, daughter of Sen- ator McMillan, the favors were hauled into the ball room by a goat. A Moor-skinned boy, rigged in Algerian costume, directed the movements of the animal, whose ap- pearance on the scene was heralded by a blare of trumpets and ringing laughter. Garlands of roses decked this lucky goat, toward whom many white hands were tended caressively,and on his legs w satin trousers of scarlet hue. Heaped high in a Mttle wagon were trinkets for the dance. Mr. Frank Andrews led. At Mrs. Boardman's dance carnival fig- ures were given, confetti in showers and masks being among the innovations of the evening. Surprises are anticipated for next week, when a pink domino ball will be given at Stewart Castle. Mr. Reginald Tower of the British em- bassy left yesterday for Mexico, to be ab- sent several weeks. Luncheons continue to be the Ocial at- traction of every afternoon. Mrs. Robert Hinkley was hostess today and yesterday at two luncheons. Guests were: Mrs. Jo- seph Anderson, rs. Emory, wife of iui Emory; Mrs. MeComas, Mrs. Chatat Mrs. Moss, Mrs. Sands, Mrs. Audenreid, Mrs. Leech, Mrs. Shepherd, Mrs. Mattingiy, M James M.

At the tea table, which was prettily decorated with flowers, were: Miss Dunn, Miss Lake, Miss Porter, Miss Cromwell, Miss Holt,’ Miss Dabney, Miss burns, Miss Miller, Miss English and Miss Pla! Miss Aileen Kerr gave a tea yesterday afternoon, assisted by Miss Shriver of Bal- uumore, Miss Grace Edes, Miss Elsie Cas- sels, Miss Ravinis and Miss Frederica Leech. Decorations were scarlet tulips. The annual ball of the Southern Relief Society at National Rifles’ Armory this evening promises to be a most attractive affair. The lady managers and their as- sistants have left nothing undone that would be conducive to the enjoyment of their guests, and the general interest mani- fested will doubtless result in an unmis- takable success. The reception committee, which embraces representative ladies from every southern state and the District of Columbia, headed by Mrs. Ralph Walsh, president of the society, will form in the hall to the right of the main entrance. The reception will last from 9 until 10 o'clock, after which time guests arriving from the theaters and other receptions will be received on the platform at the south end. The dance program embraces twenty numbers and will be in charge of a corps of efficient floor managers. Supper will be served in the large drill room on the ground floor. Altogether arrangements are complete in every particular to make this ball an unusually handsome and success- ful one.

The plaintifg states that Fe 15, 1896, he being an architect, endant requested him to pre bmit plans for an apartment } t, approximately, $80,000, The defend- ant agreed, it is added, to pay for the plans the sum of 5 per cent of the approx- imate cost of the building. ‘The plaintiff goes on to say that he pre. pared plans, which were delivered and ac- cepted. Later, it is stated, the plaintiff was informed by the defendant that the latter did not propose to make use of the plans by erecting the building time.

Strather, the col- ored man who was on trial three days in Criminal Court No. 2 for the murder £ Rosa Talbot, returned a verdict yes' afternoon of guilty. The verdict was not qualified by the clause “Without capi- tal punishment,” as it might have been urder the new law, had the jurymen thought proper to add the words. The trial of Strather was the first since the pas- suge of the law allowing the jury to tix the punishment for murder at imprison- ment for life. Mr. Truitt gave notice of a motion for a new trial, he and his associate, Mr. Roodhouse, having reserved exceptions to certain of the testimony and to the charge of the court to the jury. Attorneys 8. T. Truitt and Benjamin T. Roodhouse, who were assigned by the court to defend Sirather, made a deter- mined effort to save the life of the ¢ fendant, and were complimented on all sides for the strong defense they present- ed. Judge Bradley expressed his appre- ciation of the services of the attorneys, who received no compensation, while Strather stated bis appreciation, saying he was satisfied that Messrs. Truitt and See did all in their power in his behalf. le- eae, AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Some Improvements in Progress and Others Needed. Some improvements are in progress on the P street bridge, tending to strengthen the structure. The work is being done by Elijah Alvord, the expressman, but it has been somewhat Interrupted. Large wooden beams have been left loosely around, which were regarded as dangerous, and the police decided to put an end to the matter, fear- ing some pedestrian would get hurt. Po- liceman Saunders yesterday arrested Mr. Alvord on two charges, that of obstructing the street, and also of violating the build- ing regulations in failing to provide a suit- able light on the obstructions after dark. The defendant was released on $10 collater- al In each case, and this morning in the Police Court he was declared to be guilty, and a total fine of $20 imposed. The present condition of M street is con- demned in general terms, not only by the residents and business men on the street, but by other people. The street is torn up in places by the construction of the Capi- tal Traction Company, and the north side of the roadway, which is left clear, is said to be worse than a country road in extreme wet weather. The oyster supper given by the Ladies’ Mite Society of the West Washington Mis- sion will be held this evering at Masonic Hall, on 32d street, commencing at 6:30 o'clock. The two weeks’ bazaar at Mount Zion M. E. Church is drawing to a close. The attendance last evening was good. —_— They Have Imitators.
