Mrs. Faulkner held a most brilliant and
reception yesterday dIteTIOOu
1t being her first appearance in Wash
fngton society invested the reception with
more than ordinary interest Senator
Faulkner was present during the latter
of greeting many old friends and enjoyed
| introducing them to his bride. The parlors
of the Senator's residence were tastsfully
decorated with palms and potted plants
the bay window being one mass OF green
and the mantels banked with cut flowers
Mrs. Faulkner received in black velvet
with trimmings Of point lace and jet ana
carried brides roses. Miss Enloe and Miss
Stewart presided at the tea table and Miss
Pearson of Kentucky served punch. The
other ladies of the receiving party were
Mrs. Chas. Gibson, Mrs. b. H. Warner,
Mrs: William Writ Dixon. Mrs. Souther-
land Mrs. c. c. Bassett, Mrs. Daniel. Miss
Scott, Miss Faulkner, Miss Mcdonald, Miss
Berry. Miss Love of Virginia and Miss
Boydie Faulkner. The parlors were crowd
ed during the hours of the reception and
one might have thought a large entertain
ment was in progress. most interesting
feature of the reception was the presence
of the Senator's mother. who made beau
tiful picture Of serene old age, with her
white hair and veil of fine old lace over
her head.
1t looks as though canvassing for the
poor was going to be very fashionable next
week. Many of the ladies who are going
! to enter the campaign under the direction
of the citizens committee are well known
in society circles. 1t will probably be the
thing to present a subscription book with
ones card. and such auspices will certainly
be sure Of a favorable reception.
| Never since the doors Of the handsome
home Of the Columbia Athletic Club were
first thrown open in 1887 have its four
walls inclosed a more brilliant gathering
than they did last evening. The ladies'
reception, which has been so eagerly looked
| forward to by the fair friends of the Co
| lumbia boys, Is over, and in the mind OF
everyone who was SO fortunate as to be

ing and evergreens from the very door
way to the big gymnasium on the top
floor. In every turn of the broad stairway

parlors were arranged many pleasing ex-
amples of the florists skill. The gym
nasium, where dancing was INDUCED in,
was hung with flags Of all nations, inter-
mingled with the club colors, and at one
end of the room a huge banner with the
we'll known c.. and winged arrow was
draped from the gallery railing. Punch
and lemonade were served in the fencing
room adjoining the gym. very pleasant
