Noted People and Striking 1 Hone for the Ladies Them—Discarding sets—Other Note Milets and Chiats AY Cor- Wasiitsaros, D, C.. Jan. The social | season hero is supposed to begin with the New Year's reception at the White house, but this season, which will bo an unusually long one, aryhow, aceount of the late coming of Lent, may be said to have started lasi month, and at a pretty good pace, 100, so many large and clogant cntortainments wore thers. I never knew many handsome balis to bo given in December, which is usually devoted to charity bazavs, alaners and Informal visiting, as were givon last month; but 1 never knew, cither, so many pretty dobutantes to be introduced one after the other, until the bouguoet of fair “buds" has assumed lurge and duzzling proportions. The average “bud" is tall, siender, gracetul, and several of the very prettiest inclined to the brunette style, though not positively reaching it. on SOME OF THE BUDS A very lovely dark haired, durk eyed girl 18 Miss Mattingly, who belongs to one of the oldest uud most prominent families in tho district, She was born in the handsomo house on H street, which was fillea with a distinguished company to wituess her coming out. [u this house ner fother, 1f not her grandfather, was also born. ‘The neigibor- hood Is historie. Across the way is the resi- dence of the late George Bancroft. Almost adjoining 1s the Decatur house, now owned | and occupied by General Edward I, Beale, which, however, fronts on Lafayette square Diagonallv across from General Beale's is the Corcoran mansion, and 8o I might go on, and leay space tell you about s0me of the other rotty girls, among whom 15 Miss Grac Tutchinson, second danghter of Mr. Wiliiam J. Hutchinson, a retired broker of New York, who bas an_ elegant summer home on ,the Kumseu Road, near Long Brauch, The family, a charming one, has spent several winters b and no one entertains more delightfull The father and mother aro haudsome people, absurdly young looking to have two grown daughters,both of whom are a credlt to them in looks and manners. Tho eldost, Miss Harriet, is cngaged to Mr. Chauncey Depew, jr., (a nephew of the greal orator), who brought u party of young gen tlemen to Miss Grace's coming out ball, which made it very pleasant for the girls, for dancing young men aro said to be very scarco this winter. Miss Worthington, danghter of ono of our most distinguished lawyers, and ex-attornay for the District of Columbia, is arothoer beautifal dark haired, dark eyed girl with a vale, croumy complexion, who 10oks as bright no to aud intelligent as she 1s protty. QUITE SURPASSING all other launchings upon the social sea was that of the daughter of Colonel and Mrs, Jorome N. Bonaparte. The spacious recop- tion and ball rooms at the Arlington wore used for one of the most elegant balls over seen hore. Thepick of society was there in 1ts very best clothes and jewels, making the scone one to be remembered aud talked about for a long time to come. The cotillon began late and it was almost morning wheu the dancers went home. The fair debutante wore,with her simplo white tulle gown, some vare pearls which once belonged to ber great grandmotber, Betsey Patierson, the Amori can wife of Jorome Bonapurte, the easily controlled brother of the I'irst Consul. M Bonaparte is descendea from Daniel Wabstor, And has been married twice. A aaughter by tho first marriage, Miss Idgar, took the bipck veil and retired from the world just when everybody was expecting her to onter society. SUCH A BEVY OF PRETTY GIRLS wore gathered a recent Saturday afternoon in the blue room at the white house, when Mrs. Harrison neld hor first aftornoon recep- tion, that flowers ware not needed at all. There were several of the girls I have been telling you about: tho Misses Pauncefote, daughters of the British mimster; Miss Puuline Loiter: Miss Brice, a charming girl, daughter of the new senator from Ohio, who had her comingout party m New York, last week; Miss Horbert of Alabama, a doclded blonde; Miss I'ries of Philadel phia, & pretty young niece of Senator Man- derson, who was chaperoned by the senator’s bandsomo wife; the Misses Montgomery of Portland, Ore., who are here for the winter with their mother, and ave stylish givls, who dross elegantly; Miss Carrie Parker, dausgh ter of Major Parker of the Soldier's Home, anrk haired, ved, with fine oyes aud teeth and vrotty color,which comes and goes with eyery word; Miss Mary Brockinridge, fair, with ' sweet faco and lovely manner, the daughter of General J.

The soloists were Mary HowelLavin, the fine sobrano; Wil tiam Lavin,tenor; Miss Cbristine Neilson, contralto—who made a great hit—and Ivan Morawsk), basso. Hundreds stood through the perforinance ana huudreds were turned awny, though it was a wrotched, wet, cold, slippory night. NASTY WEATHER, The following ight it was worse, for it poured, and was cold too, and everybody was swying, “1f *Unclo Jerry' Is going’ to give us much more of thiy nasty weather the job ought to be taken out of his hands and let 5016 one else bave a try at it,” for every body, of course, wanted to go the diplomatie reception at tho White House, and no one could bundle up aud walk there—much the -\uh‘kusl Al any time—but must join the long llne of carriages and cabs and get inside of the house after mauy starts and pullings u Once inside, all discomfort was forgotten bright and cheerful was the scone, ‘Ine home of our chief magistrate never looked looked as well as it uoes now after the much needod improvements wade during the past fow wonths. The floral decorations were handsomo but not profuse, for oo mauy plunts have boen found oppressive in o crowd.

Mrs. Miller was in Frounch gray salin over piuk satin veiled | with pearl embroidered net. Mrs. Wanama ker was olegant as ususl, in jetted velvet with lavender satin, Mrs. Noble wore a oourt train of ruby velvet with draperies of embroidered net. Mrs. Rusk was in blue sauin brocade with poiut lace and diawonas, A DELIGHTFUL SURIKISE to every oue was it to seo Mrs. Russell Har risou, who had just arrived. A pale blue brocade, with fall of riob white lace, caught with dismonds about the low neck, was very becoming to her flower like style 'of beauty. Mrs. McKee wore @ superbly fitting traived gown of ivory saun with narrow flounce of ohiffon, aud pearl embioidery on the bodice, Mrs. Dimmick wore soft white silk, with drapery of white lace, and her sister, Mrs. Lieutenant Parker, soft gray silk with obif- fon ruffies and pearl passementeri Yollow 1n macy shades, was seen ina number of gowns.

Bannirr The 30 sets, Newest Curtains, Polyglot window curtains area recent de vice in house decorntion whioh achieves the most charming color offects 1f they are well chosen, says the Now York Sun. For instance, in tho studio of an artist over on Wost Twenty-thira street there are three low, wido windows with lattice frames filled with cathodral glass in pale amber tint. At cach window hang two silken curtains, none of which are alikein color. In one corner a vivid yellow on one side of the window, and tho tenderest of springtime garoon on the other, produce such a delicious Sunshiny improssion tuat one glances invol untarily at the old Dutch clock elose by to see if it doesn’t point to high noon. Then ono's ey 1ders to the Deift and old blue ware hanging n on the walls and standing on the window shelf, and the convict ion that no other window can excel that ouo is only disturbed when you come to the uoxt.

Th Sleeping Between Black Sheets. The fad of wearing black silk undercloth ing is said 10 be dying out among New York society women, and they are returning to loss striking shades, This may be duo to the fact the fad of sleeving between black sheots is now being introduced and fancy demands a change of color for underclothing. A real society woman could hardly be ex- pected to invent anything new and the idea of black sheets comes from abroad. Aun item was printed in the London Truth some time ago that a certain countess of something or other bad -gone to sleeping between black Silk sheets. A New York woman wrote at onco to a friena in London and bad tho re- port confirmed. Thereupon in New York that woman bestowed her own fair form be- tween the blackest sheets that Gotham could supply. and 50 the fad took root. The matter Wis tho subject of canvass at the charity ball the other nizht, and the fac was de- veloped that in ultra-ioolish eircles it is now considerad quite tho proper thing. When theso aelicate dames learn that black dye contains more poison than any otner, c Sheets and biack underelothing may cease to bo the rage. Lizht blue or light pink would be recommendod by dyers in prefercnce to auy other shade, if they wero consulted. rinming Withoat tlits, Women have a great many ways of *pos- sessing” the impossible, but one of the things that is denied to most of them is to make a home trimwed hat that will look like the work of a milliner. They understand just how it ought io look, but when they como to work out their understanding through their fingers, the fingers show theirlack of educa. tion aud fail o @ive tuose deft and miry touches that lend the proper air of distinc- tion to headgear. A shrewd milliner in New York has put forward the first bit of real helpfulne: 0 women who must do their own hat trimming but are, nevertheless, not desirous of having the fact proclaimed 1o the world. Iu his show cases he has knots of ribbous and vel- vets of all hues made up with the very new- est twirl and twist, sceurely stitehéd and ready to ba fasteued on the hat or bonnet, Some of them are designed for the only deco ration, and some noed featliors or other orna- ments to complete them, Two Kemarkable W n . Two mnotavle figures 1o the history of northern Michigau died recently. One was an [ndian womau of uncertain but great aze. Her name was Margaret and she was a de ecndant of the Ottawa chiels. She was educated at a convent in St, Louis, Mo,, ana and was known to thousauds of tourisis as “Aunt Margaret.” 'Che other was Sophia Gravercant, aged 102, There is no doubt about her age. he was an educated Krench woman, a family represoutative of tho first French sottlers who followed Murquette into the wilderness, She was vorn at Macinac Island and was grown to womanhood at the time tho isiand was captured by the British, during the war of 1812, She rotained her mental faculties to thelast, and could con- verse most entertalningly of her ocarly ex- poriences, Her husband and ouly son were killed in the war. A chivalrous man 1s trying to awaken & little interest in Mrs, Columbus in this auni versary of the discovery that made her con sort famous, says the New York Su e telis us thav she was a Miss Palestrello, which is infinitely more distinguished than plain Mrs. Columbus. Her father was a navigator, aud as a girl she wade wany haz ardous yoyages in compauy with bim. She possessed a fine education and was a brainy, ambitious woman, It may be possible that 10 suggested the western excursion to her lord and master asd spurred him ou to bis discovary, 1ike plenty of other good wives to whom the husbands owe their fame. Honey for the Ladies. No real coquette ever went out on a muddy day wearing a pair of high rubber boots. Evening slippers, either of suede or satin have very elaborate toes aud are cutirely beaded. It may be botter to be wise thau it is to be pretty, but the average girl doesu't huve that idea. Blood oraugo ana primrose are the names of two fashionable shades in gloves, both suede and glace kid. ‘This comfortable jacket is of deep blue or nut brown olotn, trimmed with a broad band of fur; stand-up collar, Everythiog is boing trimmed with ribvon this season, and the ribbons that are }nu:} popular have sither a moire or gause of o If any wotaan snould dress herself Liivrally | secoruiug to the pictures of mew costu wes in the fashion | she'd bo!

Cords or narrow piped edeos on a basque of this description add to the offect Among the rather striking costumes fo ba worn are those with skirts ana sleeves of dark India-red cloth trimmed with black passomenterie vanavkes, with Louls cont and cuffs of black watored silk. I'be Gratehen corselet walst, so fashion able this winter, will bo even more vopu larly worn with speing toilots, and it will not follow one wooiden style but bn fashioned according to individual requirement. Tha very latest novelties in stockings are the silk sandal lace patterns, Half up the legz the stockings are upen work. They match i color the slipper with which they are worn. Bronze is the favorite shade. Garters of omoroidored silk with dainty bows of ribbon upon them are very pretty. ‘I'he most elaborate side gurters arc those. of a dark shado of silk with a gola shiold pin at the top. ‘The fasteners are gold hearts. Light green and pale chamois-yel'ow folt nats for spring will be trimmed with black ostrich tivs and a great quantity of hand- some satin ribbon.

Among the noveltios in silks ara ribved patterns, bengalines, failles, and Lyons reps, covered with minute floral and geomotrical devices woven in the main portion of the fabric, showing that there will again be a preferonce for relief effects, Pow holiotrope shades -appear among the new spring colors, Great favor is shown to to the'chamois, beige and vale-brown dyes; India and begonia tho finest shades red, and the four leading groens are sage, Russian, Epsom, and la Cigale. Russian se to be used for utility dresses this spring is a heavy, all wool fabric, 80 thoroughly duravle and so firm and closely woven that skirts made of the material re- quire neither drop skirt nor foundution. The skirt is cut in bell shane and doeply facod. A hittle cluster of zepbyr curls not than three inches in length is now allow escape from the softly brai coiffurs arranged a little below the center of the head in the back, This coul is becoming only to women with graceful, regular fea- tures, The ever popular violet is the fashionable flower of the season for both men and women. Tn some of the eastern cities it is made up in a novel arrangement. The rrant, modest littlo lowor is made up in the form of a lover’s knot, withi a patent pin at tachment for securing it. All women will be elad tolearn that the long hut pin bas veceived one of its own stabs in the introduction of the little clasps or pincers which are now in use. It takes sevoral to keep n big hat n place, but their scrvico is easy, each one steadyiug itself by pinching ou to a lock of nair. - A stylish model for a spring costume shows a glove fitting princess slip, or ‘‘caftan,” made of a silk and wool mixture in sage wreen, cream and old rose. The goods are striped diagonally across tho chest fromn shoulder to belt, and also on the entive skirt portion. Over this slip is & closely fitted princess polonaise of finest sage groen ladios' eloth. In jowelry, now and fauciful designs are shown for pendants and lace pins., Among the protty devices 15 a spray of thistle with the round base of tho blossom formed of a single large pearl, and the filaments of smail diamonds.

After the routine business bnd been transacted tho balance of the evening was devoted to social enjoymont. Mr. Conner the newly elected president, an- nounced that it was his desire, during his term of oflica, 1o have tho social features do- veloped and not so much of the ordinary rou- tine of busin oss as had previously character ized the mectings.

It was the unanimous exprossion of the mem- bers preseut that if this was but the begiu- ning and in the future ‘the eounci! would bo still more favored in this direction, no mom- ber could possibly afford to miss o meeting, aud cach one pledged himself to not only attend but to try and have something to offer toward tho cntertainmeft of tho coun- cil at futuro meetings.
