Senatorial families had busy times. At
many places congratulations upon newly
made siX-year Eases of Washington life
were given. Senator and Mrs. StantOrd'S
dinner to the President and Mrs. Harrison
went off admirably, aud only magician'S
or a Californlan's wand, which is quit the
same. could have eOujured up such marvels
as adorned the board. God plate and cush-
ions OF orchids were not nearly a mary e!-
Gus as the strawberries and cherries that
were made to appear, and each thing, fish,
meats, fruits, vegetables and game that was
brought on the table came from California
for the feast.

nothing could be socially more impolitic

Legation later, and at the British Legation,

would be impossible to entertain all at

A notable engagement, announced this
week, is that of the Assstant Secretary of
State, Mr.. Wharton, aud Mss Edith Lay,
niece of Weep resident Morton's. Mr..
Wharton is possessed of means, and is re-
lated to all the first families of Older Boston,
and lately purchased the house Of Mr..
Charles Nordhotf On street as a home for
his bride. Miss Lay is a most finished and
| ACCOMPLISHED young woman, and has en-
| joyed European life and travel for many

The long trousers were most awkward,
though ultra fashionable articles, flaring
from the hips and clipping on the ground

Iwenty-thrd street yesterday afternoon
with his mamma. In one of the big hot,

straight, and buttoned almost to his knees,

at the waist, and the boyish ensemble was
completed by a cap of dark blue velvet set
on a mass of bright curls. There was

At dinner the other evening the children
came in with the fruit most brightly ar

in plaits from his shoulders, belted at the
waist with a scarlet silk sash and turned
down at the throat in wide collar edged
with lace frin and prolonged to the waist
in revers. Inside the collar was set white
silk vest with scarlet feather stitching.
The sleeves were turned back with lace
frlls.

fashionable dancing classes. The sweet

Iroquois Braves at Outs With Their
Janitor.
The IroquOis Club and the janitor who
has charge of the warriors wgwam appear
to be somewhat at outs, or at least seem to
have different IDEAS as to time. A meeting
of the Council of Sachems of the State
League of Iroquois Clubs of California was
called for . o'clock yesterday afternoon at
the head wigwam, on Suffer street. But
when the leading braves of the tribe fol-
lowed up the trail and made junction in
front of the SutteT-street fort they found
themselves, to use vulgar paleface express
sion, locked out on the street"
After a brief pOw-wow on the sidewalk a
fierce chief went after the custodian OF the
keys, and an entrance into the wigwam was
at last effected The meeting might more
properly have been called meeting of re-
porterS than of sachemS. as there were four
pencil-pushers present and hardly as many
