me White House was in gala dress lac,
nisht for the second levee of the season
wheh the Congr .ss and the judiciary wera
the special guess. Neither of these ereat
bodies formed airy appreciable part of tha
company. Senat ,rs and their families
b bS DC counted upon the fingers of two
nahos anyway: members of the lower
house We're only roportionately more ~,
msrous. while abo II one third of the Sn.
preme bench honor,d the occasion nv tha,r
presence. In faet the great preponderance
IN
navy circles, as military and naval lni
forms added an always pleasing fea tura
TO the general brilliant effect. The gentle
a., ien oi me diplomatic corps Were present
IN an almost uhbroken body. headed by the
ltallan ambassador, but few of the ladies
OF their families accompanied than. In
many respects. notably the presence of
faces and figures prominent eight wears
ago. the reception last night recalled the
state occasions of the first administration
or MIR. Cleveland Miss Rose Eliza beth
cleveland. his first hostess. looked smiling
~ on scene very much like that I'm which
she was the prominent figure then Col
wilson escorted Miss Cleveland down TO
the blue room just before the receiving
party arrived there and she and Miss
Huddd!eston watched the reception from
the very start. Miss Cleveland's face is
FULLER and her gown last night, of mauve
brocade, cut low, necked with square re-
vers OF deeper shade OF velvet. was very
becoming. She has not forgotten an orna-
mentation she always liked, a rose in her
hair. Miss Huddleston looked yery nrettv
in a bright red chiffon over red silk and a
red ribbon bandeau in her hair. Mrs. Man.
ming. widow Of Secretary Manning made
handsome figure behind the line i'm the
blue room. recalling the old times to those
who watched as well as to those whs
had the pleasure of n word with her. She
was elegantly gowned in white satin, with
hounces of deep point lace across the front.
and the diamonds in her necklace in her
hair and corsage were superb. Mrs. Man.
ming will remain here during the rest Of
the gay season.
President and Mrs. Cleveland were as
sisted in receiving by Mrs. Stevenson and
Olney. The Vice President and the cabinet
remained in the blue parlor during the
first half hour but left that favored Sec
ton later to enjoy promenade through the
rooms and escorting ladies. The guests
were not nearly SO numerous as at the
first reception, but were enough to COM
fortably fill the rooms and corridor and yet
leave space enough for room to move about.
The Conservatives swallowed up a good
many and lessened the throng in the cor
ridor. There was no crowding or pushing,
everybody looked serene and smiling and
everybody had chance TO see everybody
else to good advantage. For the first time
this season Col. Wilson's task was not
burden, as there We're moments of rest now
and then and the presentations were entire
~ over a little after 10 o'clock. Capt.
Pitcher presented each guest to Mrs. Cleve-
land At IL o'clock most of the guests had
left the White House and the rest We're
content to wait a few minutes in the par
lors before their carriages were called.
