/ Warder. MIR. Barclay Warburton of Phiiadel-
| phia and Mr.. Carpenter of the same city were

Mr. and Mrs. Dyrenforth gave brilliant re-
ception last night for their friends to meet
| their guest Miss Bowyer-Lane of London who
| is spending the winter with them. The occa-
| sion brought together large company, who en-
joyed pleasant evening with this hospItabie
| family. The hostess and her agreeable young
| daughters received their friends in the drawing
room. presenting Miss Bowyer-Lane, who is
charming and talented young lady. Mrs.
! Dyrenforth wore elegant gown of black
| velvet and Mics Lane wore pink satin.
The Atire house was deliberately decorated with
palms and spring flowers. valley lilies and
/ fItlg
wound with smilax and asparagus and the
| mantels banked with ferns and flowers.
The house is itself interesting
that it needs nothing to enhance its
permanent decorations. Mrs. Dyrenforth and
her daughters have been abroad SO often and
! have brought home many odd and
pretty things TO adorn their home that every
! nook and corner is worthy study. The
| house is that corner of Vermont avenue and \
| street formerly the home of Gen. Meigs. and is
built In style more foreign than American.
| The square hall, the library. drawing room and
| the dining room make spacious suite of
| apartments. opening on each other. and which
| when softly lighted makes a most attractive in
| terror.

day afternoon to bring her young friends to-
| gether and the house crowded As usual
| the costliest flowers decked the rooms and made
| fragrant the air. In the picture gallery the
| ence and every one fingered till the last posi-
| Bile moment Miss Wanamaker wore one of her
prettiest gowns, white satin with sleeves of pink
! velvet. Mrs. Wanamaker. Mrs. Brown, Miss
| Morgan. Miss Katherine Brice. Miss Deering
| and Miss Edie were all receiving. Nearly the
same guests of last week we're present again.
| Senator and Mrs Gibson will find the halls
in this city inadequate for their social occasions
if the list of their friends continues to increase
and they could ever succeed in getting them
| all together. There does not seem to be any
| doubt but that every invitation WIS accepted
| for their reception last night. The ball room
| at the Shoreham was tastefully decorated, but
! there were too many charming people present
to give anything but their personal attention.
