The Mansion House party for members of the Japan Society was interesting, crowded, and naturally a shade mixed. The little Japanese "women, were among the smartest of their sex, their dresses in the very latest mode, and then entire ensemble delightfully trim and dainty. The Lady Mayoress, looking kindly and anxious, wore a diamond tiara, and some handsome jewels, and hei black dress, almost high to the throat, had a loose trimming of bunches of silver grapes. The wife fir the Japanese Minister was entirely composed, and very prettily dressed in blue satin and lace. Both ladies had somewhat unsuccessful bouquets of red carnations and lilies of the valley. Miss Samuel, the bride, looked radiantly happy. Lady Arnold tripped about among hei compatriots. Lad*} Colin Campbell, very stately in black, and with her hair cleverly arranged, came in late. Johitf Strange Winter, also in black, with her kind, sensible face and her becoming grej hair, chatted with the violonist, Mr. Tivader Nachez, who played several solos exquisitely. Miss Greta Williams and Mr. Gregory Hast sang, and Hr. Wurm's so fashionable White Viennese Band played.
