About the middle of the week Mr. and Mrs. Parker Mann 'will go to their summer home; the Bdihuro will n.ae shortly for Ardsley, on the Hudson, ..jd many notables will sail for Europe between this time and the middle of June. A numbei of our official families ire getting themseUes conifoi tably settled in the homes which they an ill occupy during the coming four years. The Secretary of War and Mrs. Alger have selected the house on the corner of Sixteenth and K streets, which grew to be so famous for its hospitality during Its oc cupancy by Gen. und Mrs Draper. The Algers began to have their effects moved from the house on Lafayette Square early in the week, and are now quite settled in their future home The family of Mr. Thomas It. Ryan, First Assibtant Secretary of the Interior, is comfortably domiciled at No 1 Iowa circle, the house immediately adjoining ihe Venezuelan legation. With the pabsing of the spring days, when social engagements aie few and far between, society has turn edits thoughts to chuiity, und as a consequence goodly sums have been realised to aid the needy and the afflicted The "Charity Auction," which was l'eld in the beautiful home of Mrs. 1" ran tea Hodgson Burnett, was remarkably success ful, despite the fact that the attendance was t cry small, owing to the bad weather Eery thing was sold and a larger sum was realized than the piomolcrn of the affair had hoped for. Mr. Parker Mann made a most able auctioneer and the evening pnned to be quite delightful from a social point of view, as well as finan cially. One of the prettiest dinners of the week was that given on Tuesday evenlnglast'jy Mrs. Condlt-Smitb, in honor of Mlbs Jennie Williams, of Buffalo, N. Y. The guests included a number of the most prornuvint joung people of tbe bwell set.

Her friends say that Miss Mary was bcvlich lugly lovely In this gown. The marriage of Mi&s Kate Chandler to Mr. 'Henry Minot Cavts, of Concord, N. H , was the most important nuptial cent of the week, and a ery beautiful wedding it was. The drawing-rooms were filled with the perfume of roses, which, intermingled with ines and tall palms, made a beauti ful background Tor the bride. In hei white robes of satin and diaphanous mousseline The rare lace ornamenting the gown had been worn at the marriage of the bride s mother. be oral dinners hae been announced for the coming week, which will be very tn joyab'c affairs.

Tbe British Ambassador and Lady Pauncefote, accompanied by tbe Misses Pauncefote, will 6ail for England about the middle of June, and arrive there in time for tbe gayest part of the London season, and, of courbe, for tbe queen's diamond jubilee. On this occasion it Is considered highly probable that In the distrilbutlon of hon ors, Sir Julian will be made a peer of England, in which case the Misses Paunce fote will be entitled to have the title "Right Honorable" precede their naiuos During these warm spring dayb the young ladles of Sir Julian's household have been giving much time to outdooi sports Golf and wheeling have leceived an equal amount of attention.

Just aiross the street from the British embassy is the legation of Austro-llungary, the fair mistress of which, Baioness llen gelmuller, often joins the Fnuntefotes on their wheeling expeditions. Mlbs Pauncefote is quite musical, and is a member of the musical morning class, which comprises all the elite of the Capi tal, who are musically-inclined, and which has a most able and talented leader in Mme Alhcrtlnl. This charming lady l.as recently left Washington, to occupy her beautiful summer home, at Coburg, N. Y., and the class will be discontinued during the summer. Miss Lillian Pauncefote Is a water color artist of ability, and her w ork shows rower and originality. She has rccently Jolned a sketching class, which is directed by Mr. Edwin Lomosure, the well-known water color artist, of thlB city.
