DANCE IN THE wafrE HOUSE.
Mrs. Mckee at Home on Wednesday
a1r April %.
From the Nelo York Sun.

From the Netc York Sun.
WASHINGTON, April 2o.-The most de-
lightful agitation pervades official circles
1t is much more than social ripple. 1t is
the furry and excitement of anticipated
pleasure, pleasure unlocked for and there
fore the surprise of it is the Joy of it.
There is to be dance in the white house.
1t is not to be spoken of as ball,
but "small and early" dance in the
grand east room. The cards are out. "Mrs.
Mckee. At Home. Wednesday, April %,
1890" To be sure, dancing" is not on the
cards, but it is announced on authority that
Mrs. McKee's "At Home" is to be
dance. Here is the way bright woman
puts it. and as she is the wife of a leading
republican senator, and on the friendliest
terms with the white house family she may
be quoted in all fairness:
"Oh, they are warming up over there,
and it's high time, too. the atmosphere
has been little frigld, but there is going to
be change. Mark my words. The air
will be tropical before the administration
goes out. The women are going to bring it
about by social life. The Presidents wife
| cannot shake hands with the people, but
the Presidents daughter can dance with
The Presidents daughter-iu-law is
one of the prettiest young women
in Washington. These two attract
i've young matrons are going to
make the old white house gay with the
gayety of young people. They have been
trying to work it up for some time, but the
President held off. One must say they
achieved big thing when they finally OBJ
tanned his consent to begin with dance
However, they say. some particular men
friends frankly told him that the atnos-
phere of the white house must be changed,
or the whole country would be in the frigid
zone. i on see, know the President like
book. He docs not mean it, but he is SO
absorbed in his official duties aud his grand
children that he does not see the signs of the
times But this dance will be great So
cial event. Social life in Washington goes
a long way in shaping politics. and it's a
power at the white house. Everybody is
talking about this dance, partly because it's
the first, and partly because in the brilliant
east room it will be a beautiful party.
Those who are asked are in the seventh
heaven Of delight. Those who are not
asked are-wel, not happy, but of course
this one is only the beginning. Their turn
will come next time. Once the ice IS bro
ken, white house dances will be as frequent,
no doubt. as white house receptions
