The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1901-01-09

The diplomatic reception having been
postponed on account of the Presidents
indisposition. the ladies of the Cabinet
will receive this afternoon.
The Bachelors gave their first cotillon
of the season last night at the National
Rifles ArmOry, and nothing could have
been more beautiful than the decorations
that made a bower of the great bare hall.
The windows were draped with vivid scar
let. and circling the entire walls were
branches of Southern laurel that also
transformed the ceiling into an arch of
living green. The chandeliers were hood
ed with red, and between the red draped
windows were huge green wreaths twined
with scarlet ribbons. The clustered lights
on the wall brackets were capped with
the same glowing color, and at each end
of the platform. which was hung with red
drapery sprayed with green, were clumps
of palm trees rising from an underground
of fern.
The fayors, which were as odd and
dainty as those of last year. included cor
sage bouquets for the ladies and bouton-
nieres for the men.
Hung on a screen of holly were scarlet
satin ribbons, from which were suspended
bells as large as tumblers. all of them
splashed with mica and weatherbeaten
stains so as to give the general effect of
old cathedral chimes coated with Christ
mas snow. On each was fastened a sprig
of holly rudy with red berries.
The guests were received by Mrs.
Charles C. Glover, and Lieutenant Edie,

Paulding.
