From the moment the great white cruiser

gan to lombard Rear Admiral Beardslee,
Capt. Cotton and the officers. The night
t OF their arrival VAS marked by a brilliant
reception al the Rainter-G rand. Monday
evening they were elegantly entertained

day evening a great ball, the most elab-
crate ever given IN the city. brought near

paw Their respects "a the distinguished
visitors. Beside all this. the doors Of many
Of the most elegant homes in the city have
been thrown open. and the officers have
been kept busy attending breakfasts and
I dSners and Mncheons. II IS understood
that IN next Tuesday the Philadelphia WI
in turn exercise her hospitality by giving
q reception on board.
But the Philadelphia has not absolutely
filed the social horizon, for here and there
quiet little parties rave dared 10 ignore
her existence and even ventured TO dance
without the presese of a cadet or a l-eu-
I tenant. The Forsstsrs had a great gather
ing Thursday evening the Ladies' Musical
Club gave a programme OF which the city
may justly be proud: and various other
entertainments, 4theatricals. eeclesiastic
and athletic. have made the week a busy
one.
When three such young ladies as Miss
Ethel Semple. Miss Zoe Semple and Miss
judith Hughes h~nd their efforts toward
the accomplishment OF an object. they are
pretty sure to succeed: in demonstration
OF which il need only be said that they
planned and carried out what was in
many respects the most charming and sue
cessful entertainment Of the season, the
dance given to the visiting naval officers
at Ranke's hail Monday evening. The
stereotyped adjectives pheasant" enjoy
able" and the ike, all seem INEXPENSIVE
when applied to an occasion such as this,
where every detail was thought out with
intelligent hospitality and carried ont with
refined taste. Tn conception and eXeCu-
ton of such an affair means litt,e less than
planning A campaign. The list Of guests.
the music. the hail. the refreshments. the
decorations. and above all the actual car
rying on of the entertainment so that there
shall be no diScord and no dulness-these
all call for miracles OF tact and good iudg-
ment. The dance Monday evening was a
paragon in all these features; the crowd
was just large enough, and without a dis
ccrdant element, the music was entranc-
ing, and the arrangement 50 def and deli
cate that there seemed 10 be no effort at
managing.
The room was appropriately decorated
with palms and bunting. while in each cor
ner was an INVITING little snuggery. One
or these hooks was emphatically a naval
corner In il hung a picture of the Phila-
delphia. and II was hung with cap ribbons
taken from the various ships of the navy.
The officers of the navy are connoisseurs
in such matters. and they were unanimous
and cordial in their expressions of delight
and appreciation.
