turn entertained in honor of the Ambassador from Alexico and Senora Azpiroz, all talk of the unjust "boycotting" which representatives of one or two countries, owing to a remote "family difference" for which the Ambassador was in no wise responsible, has vanished, and peace once more reigns supreme, while the Ambassador and his family are receiving marked attentions and are beginning to feel somewhat at home, a thing which must have been quite difficult under the circumstances at first. For the dinner Tuesday night the table was set with the massive silver plate which is one of the most elegant services in Washington, and was offset by quantities of pink roses, garlands of asparagus and pink carnations. The company included the Secretary of State and Airs. Hay, the Ambassador from France, AI. Carabon, the Ambassador from Germany, Baron von Holleben, the Ambassador from Russia, Count Cassini, the Secretary of the Treasury and Airs.

Gage, the Secretary of the Interior, Air. Hitchcock, the Minister from Portugal and Vis-comtess Santo Thryso, Airs. Cushman K. Davis; Representative and Airs. Robert K.

L. Z. Leiter were at their Dupont circle home for a few days the latter part of last week and the first of this. Airs. Leiter has recently returned from some weeks spent in London and Paris.

She went abroad to accompany her daughters, the Alisses Nancy and Daisy Leiter, who joined some friends en route to India. Airs. Leiter reports that her daughters are enjoying the visit with their brother-in-law and sister, the Viceroy and icereine of India, and the novelty of life in that country immensely. She says, further, contrary to statements made bv the press, that Lord Curzon is in the best of health and that his wife and little daughters are all very well. There Is also no truth that Aliss Daisv Leiter is engaged to an English lord in India, and she says her daughters frequently wonder why they are not permitted to accept the slightest attentions from young men without rumors of a possible engagement being immediately set afloat.

Air. and Airs. Leiter, after a number of weeks spent with their son, Air. Joseph "ter, in Chicago, will pass the summer av Lmden Lodge," their summer home on Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. In the autumn they will return to Washington, where they will be joined by their daughters, who will leave India early, in the autumn.

Society is still discussing the sumptuous reception given by Air. and Mrs. Westinghouse, the past week, to meet the American Society of Alechanical Engineers. It is said to have been the most elaborate affair ever given or attempted in Washington. Although there were nearly three thousand guests entertained at one time, beneath the same roof, at no tame was there an uncomfortable crowding.

This in itself was remarkable in a private house. The arrangement of every detail was perfect, the gorgeous flowers were early the next day sent in great boxes to the hospitals and to those who seldom have the opportunity of enioying so rare a treat. The handsome addition which was erected especially for the evening, the dimensions of which were 50 by 60 feet, stands quite the same, with the exception of the removal of the perishable flowers. The garlands of green and the beautiful design of lover knots, which is carried out in hundreds of yards of pink taffeta and lavender double-faced satin ribbon, are still in place, the electric lighting is the same, the velvet floor covering, the 6hade of an American Beauty rose, has beea removed, that the floor may be polished, for dancing, and the final scene, for the cause of "sweet charity" this time, will be enacted Alonday night, when a promenade concert will be given for the Benefit of the Children's Hospital, one of the pet charities of the city. Airs.

Westinghouse will provide all the refreshments, which will be sold for the cause, and it is said there are to be as many beautiful flowers to send the following day to the hospitals and other institutions as there were before, as Air. and Airs. Westinghouse con: tribute most liberally to all charities. OVer five hundred tickets have been sold and the event promises to net a greater sum than any beneficiary given for the institution for years past. Airs.

Westinghouse and house guests. Air. and Airs. Frank Afoore and Air. and Airs.

B. H. Warren, of Pittsburg, were at home Alonday afternoon, and held a most delightful and a very crowded reception. An orchestra furnished music, in the temporary banqueting hall, and several hundred guests were present. Air.

and Airs. Aloore and Air. and Airs. Warren returned to Pittsburg later in the week. Airs.

Cushman K. Davis was hostess at a breakfast Thursday, in honor of Major Richard Henry Savage, of the Second Volunteer Engineers, and Airs. Savage. The enjoyable'occasion was preceded by the presentation of a magnificent sword to the guest of honor, and was the cause of many happy exchanges of good wishes between the soldier-author and the officers of his command. The sword was a token from the First Battalion of the Second Volunteer Regiment to Alajor Savage.

The committee consisted of Lieutenant Carpenter, Ser- feant-Major Snyder, Sergeant Clarence tiggs. Sergeant Traut and Corporal Collins. The little ceremony took place In the drawing-room of the new home of Senator and Airs. Davis, 1703 street, which, with the other rooms, was elaborately trimmed with flowers. Alajor Savage has recently returned from Cuba and joined his wife in Washington.

The Russian Ambassador, Count Cassini, is anticipating with great pleasure the visit of Air. Parloff to this country. Air. Parloff was first secretary of the Russian Legation in China at the time Count Cassini was Alinister there, and later Charge d'Affaires during a most trying period. Some time ago his government appointed him Alinister to Korea, and while en route to his new post he will be the guest of the Russian Ambassador at the Russian Embassy.

Count Cassini esteems him as a brilliant man, and will give a number of dinners in his honor. The niembers of the diplomatic corps, as well as society at large, are eagerly awaiting the coming of the newly-appointed Spanish Alinister and his wife, the Duchess of Arcos. As Aliss Virginia Lowery she was regarded as not only one of the beauties, but belles of Washington, regarding belledom in its broadest sense, a woman beloved by all. As a cousin says of her, "her beautiful disposition and kindly nature could not help but win friends everywhere, and that she, the Duchess, is the one woman whom he has ever known who always says the right thing at the right time," and coming to her native heath at such a time, it will be safe to say she will win friends not only for herself, but the Alinister and Spain, at every turn. As the Lowery residence is leased to Hon.

and Airs. Vi avne AlacVeagh for some time longer the Due and Duchess will visit Rev. Alexander and Airs. AlacKay-Smith prior to the Spanish Legation being establihed in the Lowery home. Tha Duchess was one of the bridesmaids at the marriage of Ih and Airs.

AlacKay-Smith. The Due and his wife will go early in the summer to the Lowery cottage at New London, where they were married four summers ago, after waiting for each other for eighteen years. For their wedding was the happy culmination of one of the most beautiful romances ever recorded. BEBWYN Among those present were Mr. H.

Washington Societu Special Correspondence of The Inquirer WASHINGTON, May the present delightful weather, pleasant temperature and abundance of spring sun-shine, society devotees are loath to take their departure for summer haunts until well into June, and the week just past witnessed a number of unusually delightful affairs. The doing away with the old-time superstition in regard to marriages in the month of May is adding a pleasant break in this, one of the most charming months of the year, and certainly it is so in Washington. Mis3 Harriet Ward chose a May day for her marriage, and the 17th of the month at that as Wednesday, "the best day oi all," fell upon that day.

A distinguished gathering assembled at St. John's Episcopal Church at noon to witness Miss Ward's marriage to Mr. Chandler Parsons Anderson, of New York. Miss Ward is a granddaughter of Mrs. John Seeley Ward, and one of the most popular belles of the ultra fashionable set.

She was presented two seasons ago, and Mrs. Ward's home, on Connecticut avenue, has since been the scene of many notable entertainments in honor of her young granddaughter. Mr. Anderson, who is a member of the law firm of Anderson Anderson, in New York, became well acquainted in Washington during the time last season that he was secretary of the American Board of the Joint High Commission. He is a son ofthe late Henry H.

Anderson, ol New York, and was graduated from Yale in the class of '87. For this notable wedding picturesque St. John's was beautifully trimmed with flowers; in the chancel were graceful groups of palms, and the chancel rail was entwined with garlands of green thickly studded with white roses. Upon the altar were clusters of Easter lilies, and great bunches of the same flowers marked the reserved pews. The ushers who seated the guests were Mr.

George E. Eliot, of New York; Mr. Charles B. Warren, of Detroit, associate counsel on the Bering Sea Claims Commission; Mr. William Williams of the United States counsel before the Paris arbitration tribunal: Mr.

Reginald Tower, Charge d'Affaires of the British Embassy, and Mr. Frederick Evans, secretary to Vice-President Hobart. They led the way to the altar, followed by the bride's only attendant, her younger sister, Miss Alice Ward, as maid of honor. Her gown was a girlish creation of pink crepe de chine, the skirt elaborately finished with accordeon-pleated flounces, with cream-tinted lace upon the bodice. Her picture hat was of pink, and she carried a bouquet of Bridesmaid roses and lilies of the The bride, who is a tall, graceful brunette, was escorted by her uncle, Mr.

John Seeley Ward, of New York, who gave her hand in marriage. Her gown was one of the most elegant of the season, of heavy white satin, almost completely veiled with superb point lace, which had been worn by the bride's grandmother. The long veil was tulle, was also edged with point lace, and held with a cluster of orange blossoms. Pearls and diamonds were also worn. The bridal bouquet was of white lilacs and lilies of the valley.

The bridegroom was attended bv hie brother, Mr. Henry B. Anderson, as best man. The ceremony was read by the Rev. Alexander Mackay-Smith, D.

rector of the church. At the conclusion an elaborate wedding breakfast was served at the residence of Mrs. Ward, on Connecticut avenue. The floral decorations of the spacious home were unusually artistic, Mr. Anderson and his bride receiving the congratulations of the two hundred or more guests standing in a floral bower of delicate green studded with Bride roses and white lilacs.

The wedding breakfast was served from a large table trimmed with American Beauty roses. Among the guests present were Mrs. Anderson, mother of the bridegroom; Air. and Mrs. Harry Anderson, Mr.

and Mrs. William B. Anderson, Mrs. Tremaine, Mrs. Beekman, Mr.

and Mrs. John Seeley Ward, and Mr. H. C. Ward, all ot New York; the French Ambassador, the Russian Ambassador and Mile.

Another interestinsr marriaee of the week was solemnized Thursday at noon at St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church, when Aliss Emily Walker Norvell, granddaughter of the late John Norvell. one of the first United States Senators from Alichigan, and Lieutenant-Colonel Steven T. Norvell, U. S.

Hay. The Aiexican Embassy, which is one of the handsomest and most substantial homes owned by any foreign government in Washington, was thrown open and artistically trimmed with pink roses, ferns and palms for the occasion. The embassy, which has been closed and shrouded in black since the death of its former beloved mistress the past year, which event was followed in the space of five months by the death of Senor Romero, who had so lone and so faithf ullv guarded the interests of Alexico, the sister republic, in Washington, is now somewhat changed, as the furnishings and hangings have been altered, but retains its old-time spirit of hospitality.

Senora Azpiroz does not speak English, hut is very cordial and gracious in manner, while Senora de Perez, the voune widowed daughter of the family, who is exceedingly pretty, a perfect type of Aiexican beauty, converses fluently and possesses a most cnarmujg manner.

The widdmz of Miss Sara Adele Neill, W1 ITII the coaching parade over, society is turning wistful eves towards the horse show, which, I imagine, will be held with greater eclat this season than ever. The star attraction with due respect to the thoroughbreds will be the. two troops of Third Cavalry.

According to reports they are to drill every day, going through maneuvers that will even dazzle our best cross-country riders. And, further, they will endeavor to explain to the society girl and her well-groomed cavalier why Uncle Sam's soldiers always win victories. These troops are among the best in the cavalry arm, and that means a great deal when every man in the service is practically a trained athlete. One of the features each afternoon will be the "monkey drill." Very few outside of military-circles have witnessed this drill in an open held, but it is said to be more thrilling than a steeple chase and football combined. Then, in addition, a platoon of artillery from the Fifth Regiment will instruct the smart set in the work of this branch of the service.

Altogether the equine fete promises to be, as our English friends term it, extraordinary. Rainy and cold weather interfered with coaching during the past week and consequently made the days duller than what they would have been. On Thursday the Philadelphia Coaching Club went over to Kew York as the guests of Mr. William rL. Elkins.

and went out on the road i' coach Pioneer to Ardsley, Mr. Reginald W. Rives driving. In the party were Mr. Neilson Brown.
