ENJOYING THEMSELVES.
Physicians md Their Wives Hold a
Pleasant Receptiou,

The reception given last night by the
Medical Society of the District in honor of
the visiting delegates to the Pan-American
congress was a brilliant success. The par
lor suite at the Arlington and the large ban
quet hall were thronged by the guests and
their ladies from 3 o'clock until IL. ana
there was not a duh moment for any one.
The rooms were handsomely set with tall
palms, and the Marine Band, under the di-
rection of Prof. Fanciulli. was stationed In
the middle parlor. where ii dscoursed q
spirited program of international airs and
of music more familiar. but equally tuneful.
The company, upon entering, formed a
procession, the objective point of which
was to be presented to the Secretary of
State and Mrs. Gresham. They We're frs,
met by DIR. Sternberg, who passed each
new arrival to Dr. BuSey, who in turn pre-
scented them 40 DIR. Tryon, L. 5. y. Ii was
the pleasure and pride of the latter to make
the introductions to Secretary and Mrs
Gresham. who Were kept busy receiving
until nearly 10 O'Clock, when most Of the
company had arrived. Mrs. Gresham. whose
manners have the delightful, quiet cor
diality that has always marked her, was
most becomingly gowned in pale blue bro
caded satin, made in old-fashioned style,
with a round Josephine waist and a deep
bertha of rose point lace.
There We're probably about 1500 guests
present; more gentlemen than ladies, as
the great majority of the delegates are not
accompanied here by the ladies of their
families Many of the Mexican ladies', how
ever frightened the occasion by their pres
ence, wearing their prettiest gowns and
Jewels.
After 10 O'Clock the doors OF the banquet
hall We're thrown open, and the attractions
OF the buffet supper made another hour
pass very quickly.
