navy, is noted In New YOrk Tor the elegance
of her entertain ments, so society here expects
a good deal of her. OF course she is pos
sessed of
PLENTY OF WEALTH
with which to make her entertainments as
| numerous and elegant as she may desire,
| and it will not be surprising to see her the
best entertainer of the cabinet.
Mrs. Endicott, wife of the secretary of war,
is spoken of as lady much accustomed to
society, tall slender figure, with slvery gray
| hair, bright gray eyes, and an excellent con-
versationalist Secretary and Mrs. Endicott
are to be at the Arlington hotel for some
time yet.
Mrs. Manning, wife of the secretary of
the treasury, comes as bride of a few
months. She is to reside at the Arlington
for some time until suitable house can be
found. AS Secretary Manning is reported
wealthy and as the experiences will be
agreeable to one unaccustomed to life here,
it is expected that Mrs. Manning will be
VERY ACTIVE IN A SOCIAL WAY,
though Mr.. Manning will be probably too
busy in his duties as secretary of the treasury
to give much time to this subject himself.
Mrs. Villas is described as 'tof about medium
possessed of comely face and igure.'' She
will be assisted in her social duties by her
daughter, pretty young lady who made her
| bow to society year ago. society paper
here speaks OF her as very charming lady
who will undoubtedly be an ornament to So
ciety. She will reside at the Ebbitt for some
time, and will not be installed in home of
her own before next fall.
Mr.. Garland is, as has been said in this
correspondence, a widower. His mother
keeps house for him at his pretty home on
Connecticut avenue. He has a young
daughter, just verging on womanhood, who
will probably relieve her grandmother of
| much of the duties of the position. 1t is re-
lated that Mrs. Hubbard (that is the name of
the grandmother) is very much devoted to
the household furniture, which the family
| brought from their Arkansas home, and
| that she

of the Connecticut avenue home while she
stays at its head. There are many novelties
which remind her of Arkansas, to which
state she is much attached, and it will doubt
| less cause her some pangs to see them set
| aside when the young lady comes to the
| front.
| Secretary Lamar's family arrangements
are somewhat uncertain as yet. He has a
couple of daughters, one of whom is married,
and it is thought may come to Washington
| to take position as the head of the family Of
Secretary Lamar. Mrs. Lamar, it will be re-
membered, died few months ago, after
most painful Illness.
Aside from Miss Cleveland's receptions at
the White house, and few weddings, the

with it some more activity, and as Lent is
nearly passed, there are reasons for believing
that there will be some quite brilliant post
lenten social events, the natural result of
the entrance of new people into posi-
| ton here.
THE THEATER PEOPLE
are a little anxious about President Cleve-
land as theater-goer. President Arthur's
example in this particular has been so good,
from their stan ndpoint, and been so well fol.
lowed, that they are especially anxious on
this point regarding the new incumbent in
this position. President Cleveland is not
much devoted to tragedies and lugubrious
dramas. He attended the Irving perform
ances and was apparently much interested,
but the theatrical attractions that please him
most are the light, pleasant melodramas that
are provocative of much laughter and few
tears and the funny comedies and farces. A.
good variety or minstrel performance
has always charms for the president,
and comic opera of the highest class
| gives him greater delight than grand opera,
concerted music or oratorio. His Judgment
in music of the lighter order is a most ac-
curate one, and he is fond of humming or
whistling softly snatches of tunes he has
heard: when alone at his responsible labors.
He has quite an extended acquaintance
among actors and actresses, his most inti-
mate friends in the profession be-
ing the two comedians, Robson 81
Crane, with whom he is on terms Of
closest intimacy. President Grover Cleve-
land will be even a better patron of the
Washington theaters than President Arthur
was, although the latter was a better patron
the drama than most Of his prede cessors.
NOTES.
Cards have been issued by Senor Valera,
the Spanish mil lister, for series of recep-
tions throughout the Lenten season.

The historic dress at President Ceveland's
inaugural ball was worn by Mrs. Mcneil Pot
| ter, widow of Hon. G. E. Potter of New
Hampshire. This dress was also worn at the
last ball given by President Tyler at the White
| house, and at President Polk's inaugural
ball. 1t was a rich lowered brocade of Eye

bens," very old elegant fan and family
Jewels, relics Of the past.
Mrs. Dahlgren expects to spend the coming
year at her South Mountain establishment,
and her new house in this city will probably
be rented. Since the serious carriage acci-
dent Of last summer, Mrs. Dahlgren has been
unable to ride about in a carriage and this
prevents her from taking as active part as
formerly in the social life of Washington.
Her general health, however, is quite as good
as it ever was.
