The opportunity of presiding over a
| household of 225 young ladies does not
! fall to the lot of many persons, but this
/ is the unusual honor possessed by Mr.. and
/ Mrs. John A. Cassedy, Of Forest Glen
| For these young proteges of theirs Mr..
and Mrs. Cassidy gave a brilliant recep-
tion last evening at their suburban home,
| National Tark Seminary. Visitors from
| Washington to the number of several
score journeyed to Forest Glen, and the
parlors and reception rooms and wide
corridors were filled with pretty maids
and youthful galants, with sprinkling
of older persons smiling benedictions upon
the young people.
Mr.. and Mrs Cassidy received in the
main drawing room, and were assisted by
Miss Robinson. Miss Munro, Mrs. Brooks,
Mrs. Miller, Miss Priest. Miss jenkins,
and number of the "old" girls-as those
young women are called who are not at
Forest Glen for their first year. Decora-
tions of palms and other plants, autumn
leaves, and chrysanthemums were inter-
spersed with cut flowers banked effective
ly about the various rooms. The many
tints OF the evening gowns, set of by the
sharp contrast of the black coats OF the
men here and there, made a picture of
Kaleidoscope beauty as the guests moved
through the parlors.
In the large dining hall a dozen tables
were set with tempting yiands and
adorned with glittering candelabra bear
ing soft-shaded lights. Delicious refresh
ments were served. The merry hum OF
conversation floating through all the
rooms was encouraged, rather than IN
terrupted, by the gentle strains OF an or
chestra screened from view by a power
of palms and chrysanthemums, and play
ing the popular airs so dear to the tune
ful ear of the young people OF the present
generation.
