Mrs. Blaine and Her Daughter and Mrs. Logan Attend Miss CIeveland's RecentfOn.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Great was the
 crowd that attended Miss Cleveland's second
 reception at the White House yesterday af
 ternoon. It was o'clock when Miss Cleve-
 land, attended only by her sister, Mrs. Hoyt,
 came into the great East room to receive the
 callers. The White House was in festive
 dress for the occasion, being brilliantly
 lighted and flowers blooming everywhere.
 Miss Bayard, the Secretary's eldest daughter,
 who had been invited to assist, stood back of
 Miss Cleveland and Mrs Hoyt. The intel
 lec.ual mistress of the White House wore 8
 black satin dress with long train, and the
 front of the skirt and waist formed of rich
 Spanish guipure lace. The only speck of color was flat corsage bouquet of tea roses with foliage. She carried large white fan, and the intense heat of the room brought e tinge of color to her cheeks which was very becoming. Mrs. Hoyt wore an entire dress of black Spanish lace over light pink satin. Tho front was formed of deep falls of Spanish lace over pleatings of the satin. A pretty pink coral ornament held a | corsage bouquet of lilies of the valley. Miss Bayard wore 8 trained reception dress of dark blue velvet, with front of sky blue | brocaded velvet, with side panels of Valen- ciennes lace and bonnet to match. Mrs. | Secretary Manning wore a deep bronze vel vet walking dress, with bonnet of the same shade Mrs. Endicott, who has charmed the wives of Senators by promptly calling on | them all last week, thus recognizing the ! formal laws of etiquette, wore black satin, l with garnet velvet bonnet.
 After hundreds of people had been re ! ceiyed the entrance of Mrs. Blaine and her | ed fha oaf Id l incident of the afternoon. Miss Cleveland l and her sister received them both very cor | dially and their faces glowed with excite i ment. Mrs Blaine looked radiant and | standing for an instant to view the party as sembled in the room moved on with her son, quickly passed through the other apartments l and out to the street again. When her daughter Margaret came in later, es- | corted by Senator Jones, all eyes were | alert to watch her movements. Her manner l was quite as pleasant as her mothers, and 1 she remained 8 while, holding an lmpromptu l reception in 8 corner of the Blue parlor. A ! number of ladies who were talking over the | contrasts which politics cause in social mat | ters were surprised by the statement of one who said that Mrs. Hoyt, the Presidents sis | ter. was an ardent Republican sympathizer, | just as was her brother, Rev. Mir. Cleveland. | Roth began to change their minds before the election, and Mrs. Hoyt laughs when people tell her they have long prayed for the day when Democrats would be in the White ! House.
 Mrs. Logan, radiant in g white bonnet and l s rich black velvet dress, frightened uI things when she came in after pushing and 1 iamminp in the crowd outside. President Cleveland himself got taste of what it is te get through White House jam. He had just returned from a drive ion the Conduit
 road and alighting from the carriage awaited patiently his turn to go into the house. He was crowded and elbowed, and when ths opening someone who did not recognize the
 new Executive got very mad over the favor itism shown him.
