WASHINGTON SOCIAL LIFE.

WASHINGTON, March f3.-The most alb.
sorbing occupation of the fashionable mind
| at present is conjecture as to Mrs Cleve-
lands social intentions. Based upon recol-

unusually brilliant is to be looked for from
the leaders of the present administration
and in this conclusion they have not reck-
| oned without their host Mrs. Cleveland
returned to Washington with the advantage
of four-years' experience in New York
| society. The result Of this experience will
be evident in the official, no less than in
the private, entertainments to be given
within the White House in the four years
to come.
For the present everything is very quiet,
as was to be expected after the furo Of the
inaugural festivities and the rush Of fare
wen entertainments to the outgoing admin
istration that filed the weeks Immediately

GETTING READY
For the Great Worlds Exposition at
Chicago.

In its exhibit ut the Worlds Fair the
government Patent office will show upward
of 300 models, many of them being work
ing machines.
The national museum at Washington, in
its exhibit AZ the Worlds Fair, will display
a collection of CONS and other metal money
yalded at nearly Si,00o,oo0.
The last will and testament of Queen
Isabella, in which she makes number of
references to the new world, will be Il very
interesting object in the Spanish exhibit at
the Worlds Fair
Two white kangaroos will appear in the
New South Wales exhibit These are ex-
ceedingly rare animals. Only one other
living specimen is known 10 exist, and that is
an attraction in the Royal Aquarium in
London.
The I.airis, shiphuliers in Brkenhead,
will exhibit at the Worlds Fair models of
vessels showing the progress made in the
construction of Transatlantic liners since
they were first run between New York and
Liverpool.
The building built by James Watt Ian
cashire, England, in 1915, will be exhibited
at the Worlds Fair in the transportation
department. II is owned by John Ruurkc
4 Son, Savannah, Ga, and has been con
tinuously in use since built.
The exhibit of fine woods made Mt the
Worlds Fair by West Virginia in the For
cstry building will consist of 80 splendid
specimens. finely polished and finished in
manner which will show the special charac-
teristics and qualities of all grosths and
varieties to the best advantage.
Mr.. Sargent, the electrical engineer of
the Worlds Fair, has completed his scheme
for lighting the the main basin on fete
nights during the exposition. Thousands
of lncandescent lights of different colors
are to he used. One row will extend just
above the waters edge all aronnd the basin,
and another row will reflect deeper into the
water from few feet higher up. Still
higher on the logias of all the buildings
that surround the basin will be other rows
of lights with here and there handsome
design. Rows of lights will also reach
around the collonade story of the Admin
isiration building which stands at the
head of the basin, while the lower part of
the building will be kept dark At the
base of each tier of the MacMonnics foun-
tain will be another row of lights over which
the water will fall from the fountain above
There are also to be various search-lights
to help out the effect. One of these will be
placed in the mezzonine floor of the admin
istration building TO play on the MacMon-
MES fountain. Another on the electricity
building will throw its light on the statute
of the republic at the east end of the basin,
and still others will be employed to help
ont at other PLACES. The effect of all
these many-hued lights rejecting in the
water will doubtless be dazzling and beau
tiful.
