Social and Personal.

ihe last of Mrs. Grants Saturday matinees
was fitting finale to 80 brilliant a series. 1t
may safely be said that never In the history
OF the White House have so many successive
receptions been SO largely attended. Every
week has witnessed the gathering within the
walls of the Presidential residence of all
that is brightest and best in our social as
well as all that is most worthy of note in our
political world. Every branch OF the gov
eminent service has been well represented
there, our most respected residents as well as
strangers OF distinction from all parts of our
own land and from Europe have mingled in
Inc throng, delighted TO manifest by their
presence their sincere res pect and admiration
Tor the presiding lady of the White House.
On Saturday all the available space on the
nrst floor was crowded. Tue President, Mrs.
Grant, Mrs. Fred Grant, and Mrs. Newman
greeted the visitors most pleasantly. Col.
Grant with an easy grace, which has been
constantly the theme OF meTited praise since
he undertook the weary task, made the pre-
sensations. Mrs. Grant wore opal tinted
SIX, relieved with hne white lace. Mrs.
FREQ Grant, with sleeves and trained skirt
q black velvet, wore sleeveless basque and
full Over-dIess of cieI blue silk bOrdered W tn
deep crepe fringe matching the silk in hue.
the Cabinet, diplomatic corps, and others
or distinction were well represented in the
assemblage.
Mrs. Albert Meyer brought her series of
receptions 10 close on Saturday, and her
handsome parlors were crowded with au eIe-
CANT company. The genial chief OF the sig
friends.
The charming weather enhanced the many
attractions of Brentwood and Mrs. and Miss
Patterson had the opportunity of welcoming
TO their beautiful home majority of their
circle OF acquaintance. Dancing was en-
jOyed until twilight warned the young peo-
pie that IL was time to adjourn. 4
The event of the evening was the musical
treat enjoyed by those who attended the
amateur concert at Marini's. Every seat in
the hall was occupied, and the audience was
largely made up of recognized leaders in
fashionable life. The musical talents of the
ladies' and gentlemen who took part In the
concert are so universally recognized in our
community that the success of the entertain
ment was insured from the moment IL was
announced that the vocalists would be Mrs
Camp, Mrs. Neagle, MessTs. Young and Pot
ter, and Miss Willing, and that ChevaIier
Ernest Won Tavera, la BarOnne de Over
beck, Miss Magruder, and Prof. GloetZner
would, twice during the evening, render Sc
lecuons for eight hands. The ladies under
hose patronage the concert was given, Mrs.
Fish, Lady Thornton, Mrs. Robson, Mrs.
RathbOne, and Mrs. Dahlgren, had been dill
gent in interesting their friends in the occa-
sion in advance, and it Is believed that the
worthy charity for whose benefit 50 much
pTaisewOrthy effort has been made will be
tie recipient OF good round sum OF money.
Nine. Berghmann will entertain guests at
dinner this evening.
