The com ing event in dancing circles Is Mr. McKee' party oa Wednesday night. Mrs. McKco was to have given this party before the close of tbo winter season, as it was intended as a special compliment to her guest. Miss Shep herd, of New York, who is now here at the White House for a week's utay. Dancing parties have not been of com mon occurence at the White House, as the hospitalities of the different fami lies there on late years have takes a more ceremonious turn. But there are some who remember the gay parties given by President and Mrs. Grant to their daughter, and many young ladies and gentlemen who will dance at Mrs. McKee's ball have ha 1 frequent frolics in the same place with Nellie Arthur, who was the hostess of various similar events. The East Room is to be canvased for Wed nesday night, not the ideal dancing floor by any means, and nobody will begrudge wearing out a new pair ef slippers for the honor and privilege of dancing within its historic limits. Nat urally the invitation list is large, but, as large as it is, there is any quantity of heart-burnings in the social whirl among those who think they should be asked, but who have not vet received the much-coveted card. Mr. McKee is now at the White House, having ac companied his wife home from Boston, where both had a most entertaining visit. Mrs. Manning, the widow of the late ex-Secretary Manning, was here for a few days lately on her way home from the South. It is her intention to make her home in this city permanently, and she will, by next winter, have selected a suitable residence. Miss Manning is devoted to her stepmother. The ladies travel' a great deal and always to gether. ; The Wilson Barrett matinee on Wed nesday afternoon for the benefit of the Homeopathic Hospital will bo one of the leading events of the week. Mrs. Thurber made all the arrangements for this matinee and pays the expenses, so that the total proceeds will be given o the ho-pital. Governor Toole, of Montana, will take place shortly, but will be very quiet. The ceremony will be performed in tho parlor at Wlllard's Hotel, where Gen eral and Miss Rosecrans have made their home for several years. Dr. Chappelle, of St. Matthew's, will offi ciate. After the wedding Gov. Toole takes his bride to Montana, where an enthusiastic welcome awaits them. The bride-elect is an accomplished woman, TROUBLE AT BAYOU SAHA.
