Washington, D. c., Jan. 6.
THE first presidential reception of
the present season took place at
the White House Thursday night
and 1900 invitations were issued for it.
This first reception was to the ambassa,
dorial and ministerial corps and was
the most brilliant of the winter, because
of the presence of the diplomats in full
court dress. Mrs. Roosevelt looked I'm.
Of a soft shade of blue satin, brocaded
in silver, the pattern being a flight of
small birds. She carried bunch Of
white roses. Miss Roosevelt wore light
blue with effective lace trimmings. Miss
Roosevelt and her fance were center
Of attraction and they stood the scru:
tiny well. Senator and Mrs. La Toilette
were among the guests and they too
came in for a good deal Of attention
It was their first social event Of this
| sort since the senator was a member Of
congress years ago. s-
Of the many youthful pictures Of
Miss Roosevelt now in circulation,
one which includes her mother and
| baby Alice at 2 years old or. there
abouts is most interesting. - The
first Mrs. Roosevelt was Alice Lee, q
daughter Of George Lee. A recent ar
ticle in a Boston paper says: ''Theo-
dore Roosevelt met Miss. Alice Lee
. when he was student at Harvard col
lege, and called often at her father s
beautiful home at Chestnut Hill. The
Lee estate is one Of the most beautiful
in that region Of fine homes, and the
house is, or rather the houses are, since
there are several Of them on the estate,
all dignifed and elegant without being
prideful. The houses were occupied,
when Miss Roosevelt was little girl
by three aunts, sisters Of Miss Roose-
welt Is mother. They were Mrs. sewel
A. Fessenden, Mrs. Reginald. Gray and
Mrs. George Saltonstall Mumford. All

Thompson, it will be remembered, was

Miss Paulding has a handsome fortune
in her own name, and altho not beau
ty, won instant popularity among the
gilded youths and ambitious mamas at
the capital. The aspirants to her hand
and dowry have been many, but none
has approached SO near the goal as did
young Edie, at that time an enthusi-
astic heiress hunter. His courtship was
brief and brilliant. The engagement OF
the couple was announced with fan
flare of trumpets from the Corcoran
house, then occupied by the New York
gentleman. When young Edie appeared
too solicitous concerning the marriage
portion which Miss Paulding was tc
uncle decided that one high fnanciel

had the engagement broken.

Admiral Wilson of British Navy'
Never Takes a Vacation.
SPECIAL CABLE TO THE CALL.

II ONDON, July z8.--In the recent British naval
nlaneuvers, which approached more nearly the
L. conditions of actual warfare than any pre-
viously undertaken, the commander in chief OF the
feet which supposed to defend the coast OF
England against the attack OF the enemy was Ad-
miral Sir Arthur, Knyyet. Wilson Unless it were
Jackie Fisher. there was no admiral the active
list better qualified for the task even were it real
war instead of make4beieve war.
Admiral Wilson is known in the navy as the mar
who takes holiday despite his sixty -fous
years. When a cruiser, he very seldom goes
ashore at the ports his feet flagship visits. and
then only to pay or return some official call When
he comes home to England instead Of going of on
leave the first thing like the other officers under
him. he stays quietly board the ship all the time
she is in port.
1t is not the taste Of the anchorite which guides
him. for he is no hater of the world, or OF the
pleasures of life and society with the big IS. 1t is
simply that being bachelor, he loves his profession
than anything else and in his estimation, time
devoted to any other pursuit is time wasted Conse-
quently, there is officer more thoroughly up to
date in all that pertains to naval warfare -
He has been through the Crimean and China wars,
and the Egyptian and Soudan campaign Itvwas in
the latter he showed himself a lighter of the first
order and won the coveted Victoria Cross with its
hallowed legend, For Valor." With his sword blade
broken off the hilt and his revolver empty, he
pushed his way through the square at El Teb and
for the enemy with his bare fists 1t is thrill
ing story, but it is which Admiral Wilson can
