PERSONAL AND GENERAL ae Now that the elections are over and the hopes and fears embodied in them are pages of history, Washington's winter pop- ulation begins to face this way, although the greatest number of the transients will not put in an appearance until after Thanksgivirg. So many West End homes were put in readiness last week, however, that many localities have resumed their normal dressed-up appearance and the ma- chinery is all ready to start running. Out- door pleasures have as yet almost the en- tire claim on leisure hours, excepting the attendance on the few wedding festivities which have so far oc-urred this month. The races for next week offer a change in program which will be welcomed, and the unexpected which always provides the gay- est enjoyment of all, is confident.y expect- ed to fill the gap till Thanksgiving has come and gone. After that festival there are the debu- tantes’ teas and other entertainments of that placid character to rivet attention and extract floral souvenirs undl tne nouuays will engross everybody. The budding lst grows dai.y, as it needed no very wonderful insight to foretell, for some good folks would not think of making such an an- nouncement did not they find that their best friends and next-door neighbors are in the running and it is never wise to be outdone, even in these little things. The weddings will distract attention from the debuts throughout December, but not enough to tessen their importance in any way. it is one biessing also that while there e loads of girls in society and far in ad- vance of the numbers of partners whom they may consider eligible, there have been y more marriages than the avera t year, and the n mers are n find their svecial fields More tnan that, several of the more debutantes have taken seriously to music or painting, ¢ ndge 1 idie hours formerly given to society s hz and engrossing tasks, visiting and ball go- i Th i © youthful philoscphers were not sati: with the returns it gave them in | mental or physical value, and are de- termined to waste no moré precious time with it.

Before the formal tertainments begin the: en- will have become well acquainted with the city and the beau- ties of the suburban roads over which. thes prefer to wheel rather than drive. Lady Davis is especially enthusiastic over the good wheeling here, and, with her hus- band, gives all her leigure time to it. Yesterday President and Mrs. McKinley sent out invitations for a dinner in honor of the commissioners and their ladies,-which will take pla’ t Wednesday night. Sir Wilfrid and Lady Laurier and Miss Stone, who fs to accompany them, will be here in time for it, being expeeted Tuesday. Din- ner invitations are also out from the Sec- retary of State and Mrs. Hay for Satur- day, 19th. Senator and Mrs. Fairbanks will give a dinner on the 23d, and ex-Secre- tary Foster has dinner invitations out for . When the other members of the m will be his guests, with home s. Mrs. Foster will give a luncheon on Tuesday, 22d, m honor of Lady Laurier and Lady Davies. During the stay of the commissioners here, they will be frequent- ly the guests in both diplomatic and resi- dent circles at handsome entertainments now being planned. The commission will probably remain in session for a month or six weeks. Mrs. John W. Foster will commence her receptions Monday next, the 1th instant. She will have with her the ladies of the Canadian commission and Mrs. Denby, the wife of Colonel Denby, our late minister to China. The diplomatic corps is slower than usual in getting back to town, and many of the notable absentees are not expected until close to the reassembling of Congre: while others may postpone their coming until the last days of the year. The Brit- ish ambassador and family are back at the embassy for a week or two, and have as their guest at present Lord Herschel of the joint high commission. The Italian, Ger- man and French ambassadors are in their respective countries. The Russian ambas- sador and household are back again, after having spent the last of their vacation at the Virginia Hot Springs. Recent letters from the Mexican minister, M. Romero, indicate his return toward the I of this month. Mr. de Weckherlin, the Netherlands’ minister, went abroad éarly in the fall, but is expected back before the close of the year. The Colombian charge d'affaires and Mrs. Renzifo returned sev- eral weeks ago to their charming home on I street. The Venezuelan minister and Miss An- drade will make a short trip to their coun- try this autumn. The Guatemalan minister, Mr. Lazo Arriaga, returned a few weeks ago with his family, but has been quite ill during the past week, necessitating his removal to a hospital. The Austrian min- ister and wife will spend this winter abroad. ‘The Swiss minister and Mrs. Pioda did not take their usual European trip this sum- mer. The Danish minister, Mr. Brun, is back in town, The Portuguese minister and Viscountess de Santo Thyrso spent the: summer at Mendham, N. J.

The Belgian minister and Countess de Lichtervelde are abroad. The Chinese minister and family are at the le- gation for the winter. The Chilean minis- ter and family. have taken the former resi- dence of the last Brazilian minister, Mr. Mendonca, and are great acquisitions to social circles. The Brazilian minister and Mrs. Brasil have the house 184 § street. The Costa Rican minister and Mrs. Calvo are back in town for the season, at 211 8 street. The Peruvian minister, Mr. quren, retains his home on Hillyer place. Mr and Mrs. Henri de Sibour spent Thurs- day in Washington on @ good-bye visit to their relatives. They will sail today for France. Mrs. and Miss Clagett and Mrs. Per- rin went to New York yesterday io see them off. The bride and groom were given a din- ner last night by New York friends. The De Sibour-Clagett wedding was the. prettiest seen in Washington for many a day. The dresses worn by the bride and her attendants were exceedingly elegant and becoming, and, as models of the newest. styles for this season, most valuable. All were trained, the bridesmaids’ dresses being at least a half a yard on the ffoor, the bride's dress being much longer. The bodice ms to be | j of this had waved lines of sced pearis which met in front at the top of the lace, which formed the lower half of the blouse fron: The bridesmaid inch-wide insertions of Irish pre than haif way up the s with narrow ruches of net basques bad unlined revers and tail two rhinestone buitons at the ne—all old-time effects lately re The maids of honor wore dress Point with irains, soft, fluffy we troderately loose siecves, witn but | ness at the shoulder. The bride's sister, Mrs. Perrin, wore a most effective dre: lt was of Irish point, the long-trained skirt having a foot and a half cluster of ribbon- frilled ruffles of white net. The bodice had a@ square yoke outlined by a band of jet in- seriion, which also formed t oar. The hat worn was a picture hat of biack velvet and plumes, smaller than seen of late y . and caught very high on the left side with a small ornament in steel.

The exciting events marking the deposi- tion of the Chinese emperor have a great interest in this cit here Chang Yui Yuan was so well known, whom the latest news from Shanghai says has paid the of his devotion to reform by behind him many and official cirei devoted to his interests, as were others various capitals of Europe. The empress dowager, who was determined to puni: every member of the reform party, had ot the leaders arrested, and, after a farcic trial, all were decapitated.’ The single ¢ ception was, seemingly, Chang Yui \uan, whose life was spared because of appeals made by the British and Japanese officials He was exiled to Kashgaria, and was guarded on the road there by soldiers, and accompanied by his own servants. A’ run- ner ahead of the party was relly the exe- eutioner, as he had with him the warrant for Chang’s death. After four days’ travel Chang was strangled and the soldiers killed all his servants, save one, who made his escape and has told the news. There is not one who enjoyed Chang’s hespitality at Stewart Castle late in the 80's who will not be sorry to hear of his murder. Chang was a very rich man, en- tcrtained like a prince and showered costly gifts among his acquaintances here with a prodigality of generosity never before or since equaled. He gave the entertainment which afterward became famous, or in- famous, perhaps, would be a better word as the Chinese ball, where certain Wash- residents made the greaiest on- of thelr lives for food and drink. Chang regretted the awful spectacle pre- sented by his hungry guests, but it did not him at all, ror did it keep him from repeating the same form of hospitality nor of gathering friends about him many times thereafter. He celebrated all the Chi- nese fetes with great eclat, and was a wel come guest everywhere. When his term expired he left Washington, after making more beautiful gifts to the friends he best liked, and many of the rarest and finest specimens of Chinese art now decorating some Washington homes are remembrances from him. The Costa Rican minister and Mrs. Calvo have taken a new home at 2111 § street. The office of the Costa Rican legation is also established at the same place. A straw ride was given Thursday even- ing to Forrestville, Md. The crowd met on 2d street, Capitol Hill, and rode to the residence of Mrs. Scott, where a delight- ful supper and dancing were enjoyed.
