President Harrison and Mrs. Mckee enter
tanned the Supreme Court at the third state
dinner Of the season last night. Mrs. Harrison
| greatly regretted that she could not be present
herself, but she did not feel quite equal to the
fatigue Of a long dinner. She did, however,
before any Of the guests had arrived and found
its beauties developed quite rs she hoped in
her planning for it last week. She did not ven-
ture to take look at the parlor suite. which
was as usual very tastefully decorated. In the
rcd parlor conspicuous adornment was the
line of pink and white hyacinths on the mantel
shelf. In the green parlor the mantels were
gay with scarlet tulips, making prominent bits
of color, and in the east room the corners and
| the window inches were filed in with palms and
1
around the chandeliers, almost reached down
| to the pyramidal grouping Of palms right under
| them. The state DINING room had its own
| burden of sweetness and light. Palms and
| foliage plants filed in the window inches. and
ropes Of smilax half covered the lace curtains.
The mantels were banked in white camelias
| and scroll made Of viOlets stood ont from
them. Over the table the two chandeliers,
| which were garlanded in asparagus, were con-
nected by double ropes of asparagus, dotted
along with white carnations. The floral deco
| rations Of the table were entirely in purple
violets and white carnations. The gilt plateau
had in the center q bed Of the carnations, and
| the vast expanse of linen at each end of the
| table was broken by two round baskets of
| violets and one of carnations. Instead OF the
| flowers, each cover was marked by name
card. Through the card was drawn violet
| ribbon and the name was done in gilt.
