The apostolic delegate, Mgr. Satolli, had the
pleasure Of meeting yesterday at Mrs. Dahl
green's most OF the prominent persons in the
| official, resident and diplomatic society OF the
| capital The opportunity Of meeting such
distinguished churchman is rare, even in this
! city. especially just now. when Monsignor Sa-
TOLL occupies the public eve to such large ex-
tent not only for the importance of the mission
that has brought him to this country, but the
interesting personality of the prelate himself
thronged by company who thoroughly
enjoyed the occasion. Unfortunately Mon
signor Satolli speaks no English. but Rev.
Father Dougherty OF st. Augustine's Church
piayeu the part OF interpreter 80 perfectly
that all those who desired to do more than
simply pay their respects were gratifed. Next
to the special guest stood Right Rev. Bishop
Keane. whose acquaintance is SO large that he
was stranger to comparatively few of those
present. Both the prelates wore their purple
bound cassocks, purple silk ferrolas, and around
the neck of the papal ablegate was thick gold
chain to which pectoral cross. also of gold
and richly jeweled, was suspended. Most OF
the visitors in greeting both prelates knelt to
kiss their rings, a ceremony in which Washing
ton society is becoming quite adept.
Mrs Dahgren wore black silk gown richly
trimmed with point lace and a little cap of the
same lace on her hair. Mrs. Josiah Pierce, jr,
who assisted her mother. was prettily dressed
in pale blue brocade. Miss Horsey and Miss
Eide assisted in receiving. The latter presided
over coffee table arranged in coy corner Of
| the hallway. In the dining room and library a
very pretty effect was made, as the illumina-
ton came mostly from candles burning in the
old-fashioned candelabras. MIR. Eric Dahlgren
| and MIR. Josiah Pierce, jr.. were most agreeable
hosts. The baby son of Mr.. and Mrs Josiah
Pierce was much petted and admired spectator
Of the scene, as he was carried about by his
nurse.
