IN HONOR OF THE COLONIAL DAMES Hospitalities Aboard the Trim Yacht Shemara. 2s OTHER PLEASING TOPICS The week which opened up so brilliantly with the Westinghouse cotillion has not had.a chance to lapse into the semi-quiet- ude characteristic of this time of the year. On the contrary, each day and night had its own festivity, culminating in the cake walk and cotillion at Corcoran House Thursday night. This gave an outlet to all the stored-up enthusiasm of the younger set and made rather a memorable evening. it is not often the elements permit the complete enjoyment of open-air festivities, but the conditions were well nigh perfect for the ‘stroll through the illuminated garden. There was just a bit of doubt whether society cared for a cake walk without professional talent, and there was some speculation as to whether there ex- isted a great desire to take part in one, even within the time-honored walls of the Corco- ran ball room, but judging from the fact that the participants were obliged to go through their performance three times amidst the greatest appiause one can only argue that to break away from the ordi- nary fashionable trammels now and then is the right and proper thing to do. The dinners of the week were quite as frequent and certainly as notable as any of the winter. and there are more of them arranged for near dates. Society, which looks after charities, is bending all its er ergies toward leaving full treasuries be hind before it starts for its summer trav- els. Miss Glover, Miss Satterlee and Miss Ashton are the young ladies who, in be- half of the Girl's Friendly Aid, have been working hard for the success of the gar- den party Monday afternoon at Corcoran House, when a sale of trimmed hats will be the feature. Other events of the com- ing week include Mrs. Gallaudet's tea after the presentation exercises at the Deaf Mute College, the Corcoran Gallery exhi- bition. by lecal artists Friday evening and Mr. and Mrs. Walsh's Chesapeake Beach excursion for the Gridiron Club and ladies Saturday at 10 a.m. Mr. and Mrs. John R. McLean gave an afternoon reception yesterday to the Colon- jal Dames, to meet whom there were pres- ent both national and local celebrities. The house was profusely adorned with flowers, nd the dainty spread in the dining room ded over by Mrs. Archibald Hop- s. de Meissner, Miss Wainwright, Goodfellow and Miss Schroeder.

Plans are in the hands of bidders for a residence which has been designed for Mr. Berlah Wilkins, to be erected on the north side of Massachusetts avenue between 17th and 18th streets northwest. The property adjoins on the t house 1709 Massachu- setts avenue, Which fs now the home of Mr. Wilkins, and has a frontage of fifty feet. The lot extends back about 150 feet, and a portion of the east line abuts on ground \which extends through to 17th street and has a frontage of 120 feet on the latter street. This entire holding ts the property of Mr. Wilkins, and he intends to utilize {t not only as a site for a house, but also to provide a garden of dimensions which are rarely found in connection with a city house. With this in view the plans as prepared by Mr. Appleton P. Clark. jr., architect, are designed to make use of the advantages of the generous ground space. The house will cover the entire frontage on Massachusetts avenue of fifty feet and will extend back about 150 feet, but Will not have the full width farther back than sixty feet. From that point the house will be narrower than the front part, but will still have generous proporiions for a city house. and will overlook the ground which fronts on 17th street, and which will be laid out as a garden. The front will be butlt of li brick, and will be four stori s The main entrance will be on the east side through a lobby, which will be in a driv way that will pass under the first floor of the house, and thence by the rear yard to an alley that leads to 17th street. This en- trance will epen into a spacious hall where there will be a staircase of Italian marble leading to the upper floors. At the front will be a reception room, while the space in the rear of the staircase hall is desig@@ed for use for the domestic depart- ment. The kitchen will be on the next or main floor. The effect of spaciousness is maintained on this floor where the starcase hall will give access to the apartments on both sides. At the front on the west will be the Iibra- Ty, 24x28 feet, and on the east the parlor or salon, Which will be Nixs7 feet. Back of the hall will be the breakfast, and then will come the dining room, 23%4: feet, with windows opening on the garden. Still far- ther to the rear will be the kitchen. Above will be two bed room floors. Mahogany, quartered oak and birch will be used for the interior wood work. ee CHANGES ON BRIGHTWOOD LINE. Extension of Underground System on Seventh Street Road. Changes are being made in the Bright- wood line of the Washington Traction and Electric Railroad Company which will re- sult In the extension of the underground system northward on the 7th str road as far as Pomeroy street. At present the underground system, on a single track, forms the extension of the 9th street line to the old car stables propert where there is a loop. this system ber h it is propose@ now to lay ath double tracks along d from Florida enue to where the change from " rf will be m: line tinue to the as is now the case with Columbia and Hyattsville lines of the company. At Pomeroy street the c be the 4th street will turn to make southward trip. It is expected the street road extension will be completed in about two weeks, and the officials of the company are looking for the shipment of some new cars which are needed for the through service proposed on the Brightwood line, the Tenleytown and Rockville and the Great Falls lines. Progress is being made in the great tas of bringing the Ilith street railre: operated by this company, into one system, and it is expected that it will be in full working order before a great while. soe ANNUAL FUNCTION. he river front Board of Trade’s Shad Bake Dinner at Marshall Hall.
