At the President's late reception Mrs. Grant wore thick white satin, trimmed with gimp and fringe of pearls ; a wide ilounce of point lace extended around the skirt, and formed part of the draperies the length of her train; the corsage was low and the sleeves short, the waist pointed back and front, and laced down the back, a frill of lace trimmed the corsage and sleeves ; f olds of illusion coyered her neck. Her ornaments conaisted of a bandeau of gold fllagree, set with tiny horseshoes of diamonds, a diamond butterfly glittered on the left side of her head, and at the back was a hairpin formed of one large pearl in the center and star-shaped diamonds radiating from the pearl, the whole encircled with gold fret work. Two rows of large pearls encircled her throat, with pear-shaped pearl pendants, and a clasp of diamonds ; a large pearl and diamond brooch fastened the lace on her bosom. She wore Barnhardt gloves and superb bracelets. Her fan was of black ostrich f eathers.
