Number Of Weddings Not - Large - Last
fsar-Mr. and Mrs. A. n. 0angewer's
Golden Wedding Personal Meatioa.
In social way there il nothing planned for
the coming seven days. Even those Who pay
little attention to church duties the rest Of
Lent are ioath TO accept the invitations or ex-
tend them during holy week. In fact
the semi-rstirement will only make the Easter
festivities the moro delightful, and pretty
much everybody is well satisfied to get all
their enjoyment out OF walks and drives and
all out-of-door diversions. Church going
and In fact all sorts OF well doing ID therefore
all society Is anticipating for the coming week,
and ono can be excused II worldly desires
will exert themselves in presence Of the showers
of invitations which have already been sent out
or will be today and Monday.
In . general view Of the Easter outlook II
would seem - IL the younger folks are going TO
have the busiest week Of frolicing seen here in
many . year. For one sst Of young people.
who are just on the verge of manhood
| and womanhood. there are parties and din
ners enough to last through the entire week,
with the cards already out. On Easter Monday
Mr.. Reynolds Hit 10 the host Tuesday 1t will be
Miss Alice Wilmerding, Wednesday it is Miss
Tayiors turn, Thursday the young sons OF
Senator and Mr.. Hale. and Friday the young
dancing class will meet at Mrs. Leiber's and
dance = german. So 1t goes from day to day
The grown-up folks are pretty vol pro-
vided for also. Miss Bonaparts will give
an Easter Monday dance at the
Country Club, the Homeopathic Hospital
Mics Hascltine's cotillion and Prof. Langley .
reception at the Smithsonian are some Of the
other affairs already taiked about.
The weddings thus far announced will not
cause the usual stringency in the domestic
money market, caused by the too frequent
o. 81 wsdsns s , S,a Ia.
Miss Brewer, Miss Oberly, Miss Gavet, Miss
Storms, Miss Knapp and Miss Jones-will
therefore be the objects of . great deal
more pleasant attention from all their friends
than ID usually possible to give them. The
number Of juno weddings il, however, likely
TO be as great as last year.
Mr.. Harrison has not been very we'll for sew
erd days and has not. therefore,
been ablo to tako her usual in
terest in current events. She has
been denying herself to visitors accordingly.
Her reception on Wednesday was very large,
although it was only made up Of those
the others who had asked for the privilege Of
calling. 1t made . pleasant occasion, bring
ing SO many people together who will be widely
separated until next season. Whether or
not the White House will take any
part in the resumption Of gayeties
Harrison, but she hopes at least that
| the weather will be suspicious for the
| children's egg rolling Easter Monday in
| the White House grounds. There is no
take more pleasure in this event than in
probably any other on the White House
| calendar, and more this year than ever,
| since their grandchildren are better able
to enjoy il. The eyes Of the country
were fguratively speaking on the President
| and the children on Wednesday afternoon last,
when the little people planted two trees in
the garden. Master Benjamin besides
has attracted considerable attention of late
driving his goat cart, which he manages quite
| skillfully.
Mr.. Remsen Whitehouse, 80 well known
| in this city and now charge d'affaires at
f Florence. is engSged TO be married. His
| daughter Of Mr.. Henry Williams Of Boston,
| who with her sister, Miss Williams, has been SO
much admired all the past winter, both at the
| Italian court and elsewhere. Mr.. Whitehouse
| comes home this summer.
| Mrs. r W. Townsheud and Mr.. Orville Town
shend have returned from three weeks visi,
with Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Weeks at their
experienced New England hospitality in its
| most delightful form. Mrs. Townsheud ex-
| poets to spend the summer months in Palmer.
Mrs Mum will give dinner next Saturday
night in honor Of the bishop Of Derry.
The Misses Davis will give two farewell din
ner parties. one tonight and one tomorrow
evening. They 60 abroad soon to spend the
summer In travel
Mrs. Mattingiy il rapidly improving in
strength and has been able to drive out twice
| lately on fine days.
Mrs. and Miss Mcpherson are back again
from . restful stay at Fortress Monroe.
Mr.. and Mrs. Menocal are on the eve Of an
other journey to Europe, and will very likely
| spend the entire summer abroad.
1t is refreshing to learn that mistakes in deliv.
ering invitations happen on the other side OF
the water just as they do here, but not often as
badly as the recent case Of an American
h lady LYING y, &. ra in one u Of the mos!
out invitations for bail, when to her dismay
she discovered that u graude dame of the
Roman aristocracy had cards out for the
same evening. She thereupou promptly
sent out notices to all her friends that her
notes were not all delivered, for
when the night came SO aid
nearly all the guests, only to be sent away again
disappointed and in many cases very angry
| over it.
The golden wedding of Mr.. and Mrs Allen N.
Gangewer on Wednesday evening was an
s sre to that the not family 0Dly gave pleas
also to their large number Of friends who as
sembled in their hospitable home tina,
evening. II any tokens of the high re.
gard and affectionate esteem in which
the couple are held were needed, the superb
display of gold wedding lifts and the
flowers with which every roc.n was laden
would more than show The decorations Of
| the house were all in gold and white Yellow
drapery silks and ribbons we're tastefully used
and the bowls Of jonauils and roses
sent by friends made each room fragrant.
A golden wedding is such rare event in any
family. and it finds few as active and as in
terested in everything about them q
Mr.. and Mrs. Gangewer are. They
have learned the art of grow
ing old gracefully. Mrs. Gangewer was
the first lady visitor appointed on the board OF
st. Ellzabeths Asylum, and in all her long
years of connection she has never missed
a meeting Of the board In the congratula-
tions poured upon the happy couple there
| never seemed moro reasonable than that both
would be spared to celebrate their diamond
| wedding.
Mr.. j. W. Thompson gave dinner last even
ing Of sixteen covers, the appointments and
decorations Of which were unusually elaborate
and handsome. Tho guests were Senators
Sherman and Mcmillan; Secretary Noble, Rep
resentative Hemphill, Hon. Hugh McCulloch.
