SOCIETY NOTES,

The visit made by Mrs. Garfield last week to
New York was the second one she had ever
made to that city. I5 will be remembered that
Colonel and Mrs. Rockwell accompanied her
v lille there they looked at furniture and car
pits fer the White House, but gave no orders
as the appropriation will not become available
before July 1st All will be pleased to learn
that 1t has been decided to restore to the par
loTS the distinctive colors by which they have
always been known, and With which their
furnishing has only partially correspOnded
since the last time they were fitted up eight
years ago. The Red parlor, for instance, has
Ior long time been called SO by courtesy only
having less OF that color than Of any other In
IL. 1t has boen decided. too, to replace the
expensive carpets woven In single piece esDo-
ciaj!y Tor each room with carpets sold by the
yard, Which are less costly. 1t is thought USE
less extravagance to put the most expensive
carpets Ia rooms 80 constantly used as are
those at the White House. and by class Of
