DAY NURSERY RECEPTION.

The reception held yesterday after noon at the pleasant rooms. s26 Mon- roe Street. to inaugurate the philan- thropic movement of a day nursery, met with success. The pretty decora- tions. the tidy appearance everywhere. the Nsweet-voiced girls and earnest matrons, told of the tendencies which had stirred the hearts of lovers of chil- dren.
 A delightful stream of visitors eddied in and out of the apartments and gave assurance of an abiding interest.
 The nursery is intended to take charge of children under years of age of all denominations, whose mothers are obliged to go forth to daily work. The young infants and weanfings who find the days too long when mothers are away, will realize new friends who have their comfort at heart. Every care will be given to children brought here, and the mothers will work with lighter heart to know that the little ones are not so bereft in their absence.
 The matron will have charge of nurses and children and give her whole attention to the success of the enter price. The nursery is under the super vision of the Board of City Missions, composed of members from each Meth- odist Church in the city.

OF ALICE ROOSEVELT.

Miss Louise -Dooly in the Southern Woman's Magazine of this month mas an interesting article on Alice Roose- welt. in which she discusses the various women who have enjoyed renown in the worlds history and finds none who have been more constantly before the public and the subject of newspaper comments than Miss Roosevelt.
 She says in part
 Tbere have been other young lady daughters of Presidents. and stories of them come down to us, a few through history, a few more through tradition. to prove that they did once reside at the White House. and that they were fortunate enough on accession to 60 ~or be the more rsless expected thing; but none of them were placed like Miss Roosevelt.
 Conspicuous she is as no other Presi- dents daughter has ever been' because she is a typical American girl at a time when the American girl is the most conspicuous woman in the world, and because the lime light of publicity is turned upon prominent women today more glaringly than 1t has ever been.
 Criticised she has been, but adverse comment neglected to consider her youth, and to temper itself with the memory that on more than one oc- casion, although only girl suddenly called to distinction that would feaze many women, she graced the dignity as q woman of the world might have failed to do.
 The fact that for a while trailing lizards and wiggling green snakes she deemed the most fetching corsage orna- ments to choose from the shops of Washington or New York need not truly mean that her chief idea in life is to call the general attention to her self Everybody whose opinion is founded on personal acquaintance rather than casual observation ascribes these little vagarfes to the thoughtIess- ness of youth and remembers rather her conduct at Mardi Gras. in New Orleans, when she was a figure no less noted than the Queen of the Carnival Then she receoved every honor confer red upon her. every frequent invitation to dance, when she was the belle of the carnival ball, with an artIess pleasure, an air of gracious surprise as simple and sincere as that of the girl who fs made a center of admiration at her first party.
 That she goes and does until she can go gnd do no longer is a strenuous characteristic that she did not get out of the ground, but is also a quality of such strenuous natures that when their strength is not equal to their ambition, they have to learn their limitations through experience. Self-control though, is not by any means lackina In such disposition. Once acquired it is a ruling spirit, and Alice Roose- welt can not truly go down in history as a careless romp as long as the record is extant of her behavior when the visit of Prince Henry of Prussia reflected her in the public eye.

 SOCIAL GARNET. What ever doubts the President may have concerning his election, it is evil dent that the Presidents wife has fully made up her mind to remain at the head of social affairs another four years.
 She has recently made arrangements to establish upon a firm business basis what she calls the Ladies' Cabinet, to be composed of wives of Cabinet mem Nbers, which shall be to social Washing ton what the Presidents Cabinet is to official Washington.
 A Washington special Tuesday has the following to say.
 Mrs. Roosevelt and her advisers will arrange for all social events given by the ofacial set, so that there will be no conflicting dates. 4 Their supervisory
 hANnnd fhQ wives of Senators and Representatives, for there are many society leaders whose husbands are not in Congress, and they will not care to send out invi- tations to receptions unless they are sure they will not run counter to some official or quasi of1icial affair. Conse- uuently, all who are "in society" as society Is recognized by the autocrats. will be compelled to consult with the Ladies Cabinet in regard to open time" before making any entertain ment arrangements.
 Mrs. Roosevelts Cabinet also will pass on all invitation lists, and will decide on who are and who are not fin society,"" In this last they will have the assistance of Second Assistant Sec retary of State Adee. who will desig- nate the seating arrangements at all ufffcial dinners, to see that the diplo- mats are given the places to which their rank entities them, and that the representatives of unfriendly nations are not placed too closely together The decision of Mrs Roosevelt's Cab met will be final in all social matters. and those who consider that they have been slighted will have no appeal, ex- cept in the case of diplomats. who will be referred to Mir. Adee. Those who are not fin society" will be left to get along as best they can.
