The kettleGrum at Odd Fellows Hall for the
Ire honors OF the evening with Mr, and Mrs.
Kings handsome party. To some indeed, and
especially to the young folks, it was the more
attractive. since one OF its features was dane
iDg. for which ample room and excellent music
hed been provided. Between the beautiful de-
corations. the pretty and elegantly dressed
young ladies, the brilliant lights and the III
spring music, the scene was indeed a most at
tracttve one. Many notable people were pres
ent, including Mrs Hayes and the ladies who
are visiting her, and a number Of others prOnt-
nent IN public and social life. Mrs. Grant had
expected TO be present. accompanied by her
daughter-ln law, but was prevented by the ILL.,
ness OF Miss Beale, with whose parents they are
staying, SO she sent her regrets with a supStan-
tial r. embrance TO the excellent charity, In
which She always took deep interest. AL
though gain Is at the bottom OF these enter
taiDments they are really more like handsome
parties than mere money making affairs and
tney are always sure to be attended by the
pleasaDtest people one meets IN Washington.
