Teas and Other Events
Notes.

Miss Rosita Calderon. the second daugh-
ter Of the Peruvian minister and Nine. Cal
deron. was presented to official and resi-
dent society yesterday at one Of the pref
test teas of the season. The Peruvian le-
CATION 30 frequently the scene of pleasant
hospitality, was unusually festive for this
event. Nine Calderon and her debutante
daughter, the latter in white nuns veil
ing and chiffon, received in the first draw
ing room, where quantities of flowers were
in evidence as welcomes to the bud. In the
receiving party were Miss Calderon, Miss
Hitchcock Miss Switzerland, Miss Sewers,
the Misses King, Miss Archibald, Miss
Lowering Mrs. Wright and Miss Belem AZ
piroz the school girl daughter OF the MeXl-
can ambassador. At the beautifully deco
rated refreshment table Countess Cellere
and Baroness Won Busche did the honors.
The company present was brilliant and
large.
Mrs Hitchcock wife of the Secretary of
the Interior. will not receive tomorrow.
Countess Cassini, who was driving in her
new two-wheeled trap yesterday afternoon,
had an experience, witnessed by several
hundred people, which would have been an
exciting one for young woman with less
steady nerves Her horse took fright at
Pennsylvania avenue and 10th street
reared kicked and finally fell down. The
countess stepped out of the back OF the
cart and sought refuge in store, while her
foOtman and several willing aids, as well as
policeman or two, extricated, soothed and
finally reharnessed the frightened animal
Although the horse could not be caJoled
into standing still for a moment the hand
some young countess jumped in and drove
away as easily as if the whole incident had
been expected. 1t is said that half her en-
joyment of her new trap comes from the
fact that the horse manages to enliven the
drix n y with mo
ance as yesterday, from which, happily, no
serious trouble has as yet resulted.
