Some of the *vents will only interest a comparatively small number, but others again are planned on & generous scale and are auticipated by hun- dreds ‘The impression has been that the gay- eties this winter would neither be startling in number nor character, but these early evi- dences are proving just the contrary. ‘The coming week will be a great one for debu- tautes. It ought to be suid a great one for pretty debutantes since at a recent tea gathering the merits of these young ladies were discussed, and especially the bunch com- ing out next week. ‘There was a unanimous declaration that they were «decidedly tive girls, and this includes good look manners and good fortunes. Here is the list of the leading events from today to next Saturday: ‘This afternoon Mra. Morton gives the second and last for the present of her receptions, to which she has Lidden ber friends.

Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. McKee have varied their usual program so far as seeing callers is concerned. On Tuesday of last week and on Wednesday of this they hada number of callers in the afternoon after 5 o'clock. In each case those who came were apprised of the pieasure ahead of them by receiving the card of the | mistress of the White House. Last Wednes- day's gathering was quite large, and very naturally,since society's ranks were greatly en- larged by new arrivals, meanwhile. A gentle- man who ix a beau in the diplomatic circie, hearing that Mrs. Harrison was receiving. pre~ sented himself and was warmly received. This shows that the reception was entirely informal, and the only way to keep it so isnot tomake any advance notice of it. . This is regurded as « wise plan Mrs. Harrison bas adopted. Excepting these few instances the life of the White House family runs along ina quiet uneventful way. Mrs. McKee goes out, of course, to numbers of entertainments, but’ as far as possible she is saving herself for the winter's duties. A feat- ure of White House life at presen: is the small diuners which are regularly given. ‘They are served at the usual dinner hour—6:30.

Mr. and Mrs, Reginald Fendall’s tea yesterday for their niece, Miss Marian Fendall, who is visit- ing them, brought together a large gathering of their friends, representing the old resident families, and especially the legal fraternity. ‘The rooms were beautifully decorated with France roses and smilux. Mrs. Fendail, gowned in black lace, presented her guests to Miss Fen- dall, who was charmingly dressed in white. She’ carried a huge bouquet of violets. Mrs Walter Galt and Mise Harlan assisted in recelr- ing. Out in the tea room Miss Ellen Hodge served the cafe frappe and Miss Bacon of jew York poured tea.

A RADICAL CURE oF BRONCHIAL ASTHIM Statement of Mr. C. M. Cyphers Of 207 G st. n.w. For fifteen years my wife has suffered more or less from bronchial asthma, and for the last three years her case became so very bad that she was unable'to leave her room during the greater part of that time; indeed often con- fined to her bed. Her physician exhausted every known rem- edy for relief, called in consultation» throat specialist, and even had the Koch lymph in- Jected, but without any material benefit. Hear- ing of Dr. Lighthill’s success in diseases of the respiratory organ she applied to him for treat- ment, and I am happy to state that relief came most promptly. From thé very beginning marked improvement manifested itself, gain- ing from day today. Her breathing became natural, the troublesome cough left her, she could sleep all night undisturbed, the distress- ing asthina disappeared, her buoyant spirit, so long depressed, returned again, and she fecls now more like her former self.
