ton is called for next Tuesday afternoon,
when the entire calling list will. no doubt.

Depew with congratulations and to wei
come his fair young wife to the Capital
city.
A great many Washington people will
meet her upon that occasion for the first
I time, as she has lived so little IN tins
| country.
Miss Paulding, the popular niece Of the
senator. will be the hostess of the occa-
sion and hold the reception in her new
home, which the senator presented 10 her
J a season ago.
She will be assisted by thirty maids and
matrons Of the resident, official and diplo-
! matte sets, some of whom have given
up their day" TO be of the receiving
/ party.
The Paulding house is one of the most
| picturesque colonial dwellings in the
! city, with its low door and white columns.
! standing well back from the street. which
| is connected by gray walk and carriage
drive.
II is furnished in exquisite taste. On all
/ sides the sun seems to pour in through
the simple net curtains and colonial
/ panes.
The drawing room is treated in pale
/ yellow, being hung with damask of this
/ shade, with touches of blue.
The dining room is a unique apartment,
/ perfectly round. fun of sunlight ard nm
I ished in celestial blue. The round velvet
of that delicate blue, which forms a splen-
did background for the round table, china
closets and buffets of mahogany.
Miss Paulding will receive the guests
in a pale gray crepe de chine empire
gown, gray enough TO be perfectly be-
coming to her blonde cOlOring.
II is understood from the many reports
/ aflOat that the senator will Guido even
/ J. Wa1dere Kirk in the elegance and num-
I Der OF clothes. He is TO be the best
J dressed man in the United States if the
/ news of his recent eXtravagances are
I true.
+ His hobby is trousers" aad the num-
! her of his latest purchases is larger than
/ that of Z. Berry Wallis. who boasts
( twenty pairs. and even a few more than
/ Robert Garrett once had when president
of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, he, at
that time, reveling in the joys Of 116
pairs.
Senator Depew has always had the rep
Utation of very well groOmed man, but
! this report is simply overwhelming and
/ is causing a number of the less well sup
/ piled men in the higher law body TO look
( TO their wardrobe and then to their col
ors.

4 She is an expert whip and for her pleas
ure and exclusive use there will be two
J spans Of horses brought to the DepeW
/ stables.
. The senator's agent has been negOtiat-
/ ing with traders in Lexington, KY. that
! commonwealth of good horse flesh, for
/ d pair of chestnut sOrrels and two bays

The amiable Chauncey, it is thought
: while perfectly willing TO agree upon or
/ follow European customs to a degree. Will
/ want to have his horses kept with flow
ing tails according to the American Gus
/ tom. set by President Roosevelt The
I livery has not yet been decided on.
