Dance at Senator Mason's Home for a Foot Dall Team-Other Pleasant Events-Personal Notes. The most important change in the an nouncement of the White House program for the season of 1401 is that the hours for the evening levees are shortened, I) to 10:14) being stated instead of 9 to 11, as the cus tom of past years. As all these receptions are practically over, so far as new arrivals in the house are concerned, by.10 or a quarter past, the change will not occasion any inconvenience, since the evening is usually kept free from other engagements, anyway. As Wednesday ts also the night for all save the last reception, which is for the public, it will practically do away with the afternoon receptions at cabinet homes. or limit their number. The withdrawal by mourning of Mrs. Hay and the probability that Mrs. Long will not remain here for the winter maaes the circle smaller, any way. Ex-Secretary William C. Whitney will open his new 5th avenue home Friday evening, January 4, 101. with a ball in honor of his niece, Miss Helen Barney, the debutante daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. T. Barney. It will be the first laige enter tainment given by Mr. Whitney for several years, ana widl serve to open up his new house, which ranks among the palaces of the metropolis. Mr. and Mrs. Frank S. Gannon went to New York Friday last on their private car to meet their (aughter, Miss Gannon, who returned from Europe Saturday after an eight months' trip. accompanied by Mrs. Robert callum, Miss Maud Lambert and Master Catlum. k ith Mr. and Mrs. Gan non's party to welcome home the tiaveiers were Mr. Robert Callum, Mr. and Mrs. Tal mauge Lambert, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Bur rows, Mrs Frank S. Gannon, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Gannon and Mr. Frank S. Gannon, Jr. The party returned to this city yester day morning. Miss Gannon will be a debutante of this winter. Miss Loring, eldest daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Frank B. Loring, was presented at a la-te tea Saturday, when a large company of resident and official notables were pres ent in perqon andi also represented by floral tokens in giving a cordial welcome to tlie new addition to society. Mrs. John Pool and Mis-3 Routh presided in the tea room, and Miss Ethel Anderson and Miss Carola de Peyster assisted in receiving. . From 6 until 9 Thanksgiving evening the young ladles of St. Kathar ne's Guild re ceived their friends at a colonial tea, giveni in the Pro-Cathedral Parish Hall, corner of 3d and A streets southeast. The hall was decked In true colonial style. In one end was an immense fireplace, in whose wide. open mouth, resting on heavy brass and irons,were oak logs supporting a huge black kettle. In one chimney corner was a sp n nr,g wheel and low chair, while the otlier was piled high with yellow pumpkins and ears of corn. Other spinning wheels, braid ed mats, roomy couches and polished ma hogany tablss contributed to the general effect; holly, evergreens and great strings of pared and quartered apples. dried pep pers and herbs were hung everywhere; and candles in tall candelabra and qua'nt, fat candlesticks gave the only light. The spirit of '76 was represented by dangling spurs, crossed swords and muskets, old portraits and an ancient copy of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Masters Car penter and Stilson, in continental army cos time, dispensed refreshments. The young ladies themselves, with powdered hair, patches and silk and satin ggwns, which in many instances had been rhe wedding gewns of great-grandmothers, as they gave each guest a low, sweeping courtesy, added the finishing touch to a scene typically co lonial. Those in costume were Mrs. Chap pell. Miss Graves. Miss Hart and Miss Young, and the Misses Lola Barber, Jessie Blumer, Lillian Burch, Caro Clum, Inez Cadel, Cochran, Hope Durfee, Jessie Fant, Grace Flegenbaum, May Hersey, Beulah Lusen, Helen Keech, Irma Kane, Nellie Myer, Jessie M5ller and Ida Rock.

Vernon has been planned by Mr. and Mrs. Walsh, and that evening President and Mrs. McKinley will entertain the com missioners at dinner. Friday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Walsh give an afternoon recep tion at their home to meet the commis soners and the ladies who accompany them. Miss Winnifred Mason gave a dance at her home, 1458 Columbia road, Saturday evening in honor of the Western High School foot ball team of this city. The oc casion was a most delightful one.
