Washington at noon on Thursday next to at
tend the great doll show that is to be formally
opened on Tuesday, the 4th instant, at the
Academy OF Music IN Baltimore. The ladies
who go over to act as judges in awarding the
prizes for the various dolls will make the trip
In private car over the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, and upon their arrival will be met
by committee and at once driven to one of
the leading hotels. where an elegant luncheon
will be served them. That over they will 90

O'Clock in he evening.
The outcome of the doll show Will be to in

alleys what will be in many instances tn cir
alst personal participation in the joys of
Christmas. Hitherto their possession of dolls
and toys has been purely imaginary, gained
from glimpses into the shop-windoWs at the
Christmas things set forth for their more
fortunate fellow creatures. 1t is to this class
of miserable and cherries childhood that
Christmas is to be brought and the reminders
left within their very doors for the reality of
possession they have never heretofore known.
Not only Is the interest widespread through
out the city of Baltimore. but from all over
the world contributions to the success OF the
doll show have come. and the ladies upon
whom the duties of judges will devolve will
find their duties no light ones as the number
of dolls alone sent to the show is several
thousand, while a correspondingly large
number of toys has been received. The show
opened on Tuesday and will continue through
out the week.
Mr.. Joseph Jefferson during his recent
visit to Washington was the guest of honor
at charming little afternoon tea, given by
the Secretary of War and Mrs. Lamont. Mrs.
Cleveland on that occasion poured tea. The
guests were almost entirely members of the
Cabinet. Among the few outside of the
Presidents executive family were Gen. and
Mrs. Schoield. The veteran actor was in a
delightfully."- talkative mood, and did more
than his due share toward entertaining the
guests gathered in his honor.
