THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, JANUARY 7, 1906. OGI HE social event of the last week took place on Thursday evening, hen the President and Mrs. Roosevelt entertained in honor of the Diplomatic Corps. The reception was an unqualified success and a brilliant contrast to the first one given to that body in the re- modfled mansion several years ago. The east entrance, before this season, has not afforded the i protection against cold or draught; and the wretched pigeonholes into costly wraps were thrust without reference to the feelings of the ovvnpr i not tend toward the peace of inind and happiness--necessary on such occasions--of hundreds of lightly dressed women, who were forced to wait fot i a an hour in the cold corridor.

The architectural absurdities and in the management have now been remedied, and the arrangement, on a i were as perfect as could be desired. it of the Englishman who exclaimed, "Afflict us not, ye gods, though -inners, with many more weeks like this of dinners!" has echoed and m-ei noetl through the heart of a young foreigner who has been so continuous- lv feted i his at the Capital, a few short months ago, that he has i a collapsed. On Monday he partook of two full course dinners, on" before and one after the theater. Tuesday evening he attended a large dinner-dance On Thursday night his gastronomic apparatus was called upon to digest more dinners, which were sandwiched in between the White House reception and Mrs. Herbert Wadsworth's musicale.

Friday evening this pooi, i young man was called upon to eat more dinners, leaving him last night in a position to declare, with some warmth of feeling and much of expression, that "they are as sick who surfeit on too much as they who starve on i -V-. i i seems such a dearth of socially eligible American men in Wash- i it not be a good plan if the hostesses of the smart set would i i i 1 a v. ot the elegantarium-s" from the other side, who would, no doubt, he harmed to dance attendance on American millions and thus enable the i i loieign colony to take an occasional and much-needed rest? Teas, dmiiPi-, a weddings, and a hundred other things have been planned tor the next few weeks, and society will be plunged into a whirlpool ot a su a-s only the young, the enthusiastic, and wealthy can induce. The dflmuintp-, claimed the entire month of December are now pouting be au-e th- no longer occupy the center of the stage. Scarcely an entertainment took place before the holidays that was not given in honor of some bud Novv thf elders are having their turn, being left to take i i ham i the others.

Dinners and receptions where the older folk a tin- i i st- a succeeded the debutante luncheons and teas. Many a a in a tumbled down in the next few weeks, and the debu- tant i doubt if the world is the radiant place and society the paradise them a month ago Of course, there will be a reaction from this i a i depression, but this the "buds" cannot foresee, and they will not s. i i pt heering advice from their older sisters, for whom the glamor of society lon; ago disappeared and who can predict to a certainty just how many times thf i be taken out at a cotillion and just what "Prince Charming" will say. a among the coming events will be the marriage of Miss Roosevelt rani Mr i a Long-worth, a wedding to which not only residents of the a i a but the nation, is looking forward with intense interest. i I of errors was enacted at the National Theater last week, as a i i It Happened in Xordland," when understudies played the part i i i a i i ii Id and the public was none the wiser.

As a matter of fact, a actress a in a plaster cast in a New York hotel, owing to a knee i i a i i i i instead of starring her company, as announced on the bill. The house a i night after night with representative audiences, to see the much hf a San Prancioco society girl, and applause followed applause as ama- 111 and a i artresses tupped lightly across the boards, impersonating noin coo the part of the rising star.
