Washington Society.
The event OF the week in the social
world of Washington was the reception
/ given by Vice President and Mrs. Fair
banks Saturday evening to the Senate
| and the House of Representatives. These
officials and their wives and daughters
attended in large numbers. Besides. Cabi-
net officers and other government Off
Gals and a large number of leading
| Washington correspondents were also
present
The reception had some of the features
Of those given at the White House, but
it had others which made it infinitely
more enjoyable. There was not the crush,
nor the confusion which make attendance
on one of the White House functions Il
very doubtful pleasure. and which cause
one to go but once In lifetime. as
rule The spacious vice presidential resi-
dcnce ut Seventeenth and K Streets, in
teriorly and exteriorly one OF the hand
soonest in the national capital. was beau
tfully decorated with palms and cut
flowers. and strains OF delicious music
were furnished by section OF the Marine
Band the entire evening.
The supper table could not fail to at
tract the Southern-born guest, as 1t was
most literally adorned with Smithheld
hams, roasted to nut brown. No poet
ever mixed the red of roses and the
brown of the Smithfeld. nor the frag-
rance of the two. but the combination
evidently pleased the guests OF the Vice
President and Mrs. Fairbanks.

tor Clay, were Southern senators present.
