Friday even ing at their beautiful little hall, at the corner of Nicollet and Twenty-sixth street, was a delightful event and will long be remembered by those present as a very, pleasant anil" brilliant affair. Some 100 couples tilled the hall to its utmost capacity. The guests were in the greater part composed of members Of the lodge and their friends, and the part, was all that could be desired in the wav of a select class of society peo ple, the toilets of the ladies were, most of them, calico, iv accordance with the occasion. The dance orders were neatly gotten up on calico, as well as the invitations. Dancing commenced at a little after -> o'clock and entertained until midnight, when supper, consisting of mush and milk and pumpkin pie, was served in a very graceful style by the ladies of the society.

THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SUNDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 26, 18S8.— SIXTEEN PAGES. OUR LEADING LADIES. Mrs. Cleveland Has Won the Hearts of Washington Society, The Dinners of Mrs. Secretary Whitney Have Wondered Washington. Some of the Antecedents of Mrs. Secretary Fairchild-- Her Mansion. The Wife of Col. Dan Lamont Is Fond of Washington Life. Mrs. President Cleveland stands at the head of the White house ladies of history. She has the good nature and tact of Dolly Madison, the culture of Abigail Adams, the style and vivacity of Harriet Lane and a beauty greater than that of any of the ladies of the White house still remembered by the old stagers of Washington. She stands at the front of the New York women , who have been presidents" wives, and she has taken a larger part in our social history than any New Yorker who pre sided over the executive mansion in the past. Mrs. Cleveland is the youngest woman who has ever entered the While, house as its mistress, and the figure _ ■ seems to be her luckiest numeral. She was twenty-two years of age when she became ("rover Cleveland's bride, and the wedding took place on June 2, nearly two years ago. She has had a wonderful success, and her social career has been as surprising as has been the political one of her husband. Coming to the White house fresh from school she ran the gauntlet of the Washington society critics, and her natural tact and beauty made her at once the most popular woman at the capital. Old stagers of the army and navy who bad made their best bows before the court ladies of Europe went wild over her qualities, and the states men, and statesmen's wives as well, carried her praises to the remotest parts of the United States. The interest taken in her by the people was shown in the sale of tens of thousands of photo graphs, and to-day you will find her pic ture in nearly every house in the United . States. The picture here given represents her as she appeared at the beginning of the social season this year. She looks more tired now, for the sea son has been a hard &one, and she has done Sf/iuuch throughout it to J save the president. She has stood at his side at the four great state receptions/ ami has made happy tens of thousands of people with her beautiful smiles and the cordial shake of her hand. She has inaugurated noon receptions on certain days of the week for the benefit of thousands of strangers who wish to meet the presi dent's wife. She has held her after noon receptions as well, and she has sat opposite the president at state dinners. She has at the same time attended to her domestic duties, and much of her leisure has been spent with her friend, Mrs. Postmaster General Vilas, who has been ill during the whole season. Mrs. Cleveland has not allowed society to carry her away from her religious duties. She has been constant in her church attend ance, and after the b'nrgest receptions and dinners she has gone the next day to hear Dr. Sunderland preach,notwith standing the weather has often been bad and the slush six inches deep. The church she and the president attend is one of the most modest in the city and there has been nothing ostentatious or Pharisaical in the religious life of our president's wife. She lias been inter ested in missionary work, and she has attended some of the little socials of the church and made herself perfectly at home with her fellow-Christians and their children. At the same lime her religious actions have nothing of the crank about them, and, though she has an apollinaris water-glass always at her plate, and drinks no wine, she does not, as did Mrs. President Hayes, dictate to others as to what they shall do in such mat ters. She has, at the same time, en joyed her social duties, and she has looked more queenly than ever in them. She entered this winter with an entire wardrobe ot new dresses, and few of her last season's costumes have been seen this year. . She enjoys out-of-door life too, and some of her happiest days of the past year were spent while presiding over her home at Oak View. She has shown herself a good driver, and she has lately taken a number of walks in which she has been accompanied by her big mas- I tiff. She goes about unassumingly in I Washington and she does her own shop ping, and you may see her often during the week at the bookstores, picking up the latest in literature, and especially poetry. I have yet to hear of her hav ing an enemy among the ladies of Wash ington society, and this is indeed a very extraordinary situation, and one which", I venture, cannot be found among the White house ladies of the past. The secret of the whole is that Mrs. Cleve land is a lady, and that she acts natur ally and judges all things by the stand ard of good American common sense. v * * -*'•• - ... "* ' Mrs. Secretary Whitney ranks next to Mrs. Cleveland among the leading ladies of the United Slates, and she has done more for Washington so ciety than any woman since the days of Dolly Madison. Her recep tions and dinners have been the wonder' of Washington, and she is, in fact, a born- I society leader. Pos j sessing an immense income, she has spent ■ .**, ■„. j a great part of it to Mr.iWKitrtey ; make others happy, and she is in her j element when, stanautg in her magnifi i cent house on 1 street, she has about her the noted men and the pretty women of our capital. Everyone feels at home at Mrs. Whitney's, and Mrs. Whitney I entertains you without seeming to try i to do so. She has her servants perfectly ! trained, and there is never a jar or a misstep. She likes entertaining, and it does not tire her. She said to me the other night: "I'm going over to New York when I the season is over for a nominal rest. I lint I don't feel that 1 need it, and I have the happy philosophy of not let ting things worry me, and I do the duty that lies nearest me ami let the future take care of itself. I don't do . things when I don't want to, and it surprises me to see how some people work hard to have a good time, 1 see some girls dancing every night or so who make such hard work of it that they might as well be in a tread-mill, and who evi dently don't like it. If 1 were they I would not dance.and it is the same with other things." : :;t -.'-^ .-i; ■ This Mrs. Whitney said at one of. her big receptions, and as she finished her remark she noticed a young man who was acting the part of a wall-flower and was evidently ill at ease. She moved at once to him, took his hand and led him to a very pretty Cleveland girl and said: "Mr. Blank, I know you'd like to meet | Miss Parsons, and I want to make two good people acquainted with one an j oilier." I cite this just as an instance j of Mrs. Whitney's social tact. She sees i all that is going on in her drawing rooms I without appearing to do so," and her genial good nature furnishes the oil that makes the wheels of her social machine run without friction. - • ;. ; And then she had such a magnificent house for entertaining, and knows so well how to do it without overdoing it, that, all told, she has been a bonanza for Washington. Mrs. Whitney is not, however, what the western village girl would call a "butterfly of fashion." It is true she dresses well, and she probably has as many costumes as Berry Wall has suits of clothes, but she is a good wife and mother as well, and she watches very closely over the health of her handsome husband, the secretary. Before Doro thy was born Mrs. and Secretary Whit ney might often have been seen riding on horseback through the lanes' near Grasslands and the president's home, and she sees that be mounts his horse every pleasant afternoon and takes a gallop out in the country. The result is Secretary Whitney has recovered his old vigor, and he looks better now than he has looked since he has been at the head of the navy. Mrs. Whitney is herself fond of exer cise, and she has been taking a number of long tramps this year. She believes that American girls should take better care of their health, and thinks there are some English customs in this regard Which they could adopt with profit. She advocates out-of-door sports of every kind, and it has been through her as sistance that some of the big paper chases and tally-ho rides have been so enjoyably carried out. She could not be the social leader that she is were she not a tine conversation alist, and those who imagine that the social leaders of Washington are not women of brains and culture are much mistaken. The society here is literary and political, and among the subjects discussed every even'n. are the upper most topics of literature, science art and politics. Mrs. Whitney is well ii)) in the standard literature of to day. She reads the latest novels, and she has traveled so much that she is perfectly at home in diplomatic circles. She bad a good education, and she was, you know, a rich man's daughter. Her father, Senator Payne, of Ohio, has been for years one of tin- leaders among the Democrats, , and at seventy-seven he likes to take a turn in society'alinost as much as does his daughter. None of Mrs. Whitney's children is old enough to go into society. She has a daughter of about fourteen whom she very sensi bly keeps at school, and her two sons are at school, and Secretary Whitney received a letter from one of them the other day telling him that the favorite subject of discussion in their debating society was "The United States Navy, and How It Might be Improved The boy said that the society pre ferred these subjects to such questions as to whether Longfellow was a greater poet than Whittier. * * Mrs. Secretary Fairchild has given a number of receptions this winter, and the large, square brick house which she s~ 'j. and the secretary oe- cupy is within a stone's throw of Blame's big mansion, and not far oft' from the British legation building, and in the most fashiona ble part of Washing ton. It has its south front walled with glass and at the afternoon i-wcr**: *■*"-, \- receptions the visitors MrsFc.T C -H.l_, cai . be treated to sun baths without taking a trip to Fortress Monroe or the tropics. Mrs. Fairchild is a very womanly woman and she is a very pretty woman, too— straight, fine looking and well formed; she has a graceful figure and she dresses in ex quisite taste. She is a blonde, with soft, brown eyes, and she comes of an old Dutch family. One of her ancestors came to the United States nearly one hundred years ago as the agent of the Holland Land company, and bought- a tract of land in New York state forty miles long and four miles wide, and I think some of this land still re mains in the family. Her father's name was Liuckiaen Ledyard, and one of her relatives was the John Ledyard who i went around the world with Cant. John Cook, and who was with him when he was killed- by the Indians of the Sand wich Islands. Mrs.- Fairchild's mother is a sister of Horatio Seymour, and she is thus connected by marriage to lioseoe Conkling. .;• \-:-. , - , The Fairchild mansion is made up of i large rooms. A wide hall runs, through the center, and it is admirably adapted ; to entertaining. During the season Mrs. Fairchild has given a number of dinners, and her dinner to President and Mrs. Cleveland was. especially fine, At this the table was set with fine I old china and cut-glass, and in the cen- . ter was an oval minor, wreathed in , yellow tulips, set amid ferns and sm'tlax. Upon this mirror rested a tall branched chandelier, the tapers of which were capped with white ; shades, and at the ends were oval cushions of scarlet tulips, beside which stood pyramids of fruit"" and dishes of conserves and pineaples. Mrs. Fair- , child is a good conversationalist. She keeps up with the times, and she is a , woman of broad reading and culture. _■ * In speaking of the presidential circle, ; Mrs. Col. Lamont. the wife of Private i Secretary Lamont, sustains a very im- i portent part in it and ft she is quite as popu- m lar as her husband. 4 She is a tall, bright. L Wherefore I shout, amid Reveuue's rackets: "Spare Tobacco and Rum!"
