Washington society the largest and most
artistically arranged dinner dance OF the

Mrs. Westinghouse return to the Blaine
house
Dinner was served at O'Clock at small
tables scattered throughout the rooms
composing the drawing room suite.
Each table. 'at which six guests were
seated. was decorated with the Mrs.
George Westinghouse rose-which may
literally be classed among the buds of
the season, since last night marked the
occasion of its debut
The story of n Rose.
This new floral treasure is pink rose,
slightly deeper in tint than the Brides
maid, and with the long petals that flor
lists have been so long striving for. Mrs.
Westinghouse had IN her conservatory, at
Lenox, small number of the roses raised
from seedlings, and was so pleased with
their beauty and fragrance that she de-
sired to know its name. 1t had not then
been chTistened. and Mr. Small suggested
to the propagator that it would be
graceful tribute to Mrs. Westinghouse,
whose love for flowers is well known to
name the new blossom in her honor.
The roses were arranged SO as to form
three separate clusters, and at the close
of the dinner were given the ladies as
corsage bouquets. The general effect was
very pretty, especially later On during
the dance.
