The First Tea of the Season When Old Friends Met. The Whereabouts of Well-Known People—Personal Notes of Interest. Mrs. Mayo Hazeltine’s tea yesterday after- noon brought together a very large contin- gent of society people who have hardly met since the gayeties of the season last spring, in which this pleasant hostess also took an important part. Familiar faces greeted her Suesis at every turn and the newest and prettiest fashions were in evidence.

Throughout yesterday and today the many floors and broad aisles of the Palais Royal have been crowded with enthusiastic wo- men and children, on the occasion of the holiday opening of this popular establish- \s ment. There would seem to be pretty much everything to appeal to the tastes and pocketbooks of the fair sex, and the many different departments of the big store have overflowed with attractive articles that are suitable for the holiday season. There are many beautiful displays that are suze to catch the eye of the children, and for the time being the basement is turned into a mammoth toy store, and one of the big win- dows is decked out as the veritable home of Santa Claus, with the kindly hearted old gentleman there in person. The holiday opening coming so long before Christmas is a decided boon to shoppe->s, for the prices have been reduced for the occasion, as i is | Mr. Lisner's desire to have the pepple begin to do their buying of Christmas presents ahead of time to avoid the rush of the last few days before the great festival of giving. A great advantage for shoppers now is that they get the advantage of a complete stock from which to make selections. There is ho doubt that the women are reaping the benefit of this state of things, as is shown by the crowds that throng the store from morning until evening, and are loud in thei> praises of the beautiful things on exhibi- tion. pee Riera The Husband Deserted Her. Two bright Httle girls, Olga and Helen Angelo, were in Judge Miller's court this morning. A paper had been filed in court setting forth the mother’s inabjlity to care for her chilldren and the petition prayed for their commitment to the board of chil- dren's guardians, It appeared in evidence a German, married an Itailan, named An- gelo, who deserted her. She is now work- ing as a domestic in a private family. Upon a showing that she is unable to care for them the court made an crder directing that they be turned over to Agent Le’ of the board of children’s g.ardians. They will be cared for untll good homes are pro- cured for them.

Davenport. The Davenport court of inquiry was con- tinued at the navy yard this morning, but little of interest was developed. So far the trend of the testimony has been decidedly in favor of the applicant, Lieut. Daven- Port, who is desirous of proving by an of- cial investigation that his conduct on the eccasion of the Samoan disaster in March, 1889, was in every way proper and becom- ing to an officer in the navy. At the time of the Samoan cyclone Lieut. Davenport Was the navigating officer of the U. 8. 8. Nipsic, and the commanding officer of the ship, Commander Mullan, has testified that in his opinion the applicant did his full duty at the time of the beaching of the Nipsic. At the afternoon session yesterday twe witnesses were examined, Commander Dennis W. Mullan of the Nipsic and Pass- ed Assistant Engineer Horace Frick. There was nothing sensational in their testimony, it being simply a recital of the conduct of Lieut. R. G. Davenport during the cyclone at Samoa. It was entirely favorable to Lieut. Davenport and tended to throw @is- credit on the stories which had been cireu- the wi lated concerning his actions at time of the beaching of the Nipsic. It was stated by both witnesses that Lieut. Davenport's unpopularity in the service arose in large measure from his being a strict disciplina- rian. Neither witness had any complaint to make of Lieut. Davenport's action nor did either know of any act of omission or commission that reflected upon him. Lieut. Shearman was the first witness for today, but he was unable to appear this and the court adjourned until later in the day without hearing any testimon: —_-e-—_____ ELECTRIC COMMUNICATION Between Light Ships and the Shore Asked for. In the estimates submitted to Congress yesterday there is an item of $50,000 for establishing electric communication between Mghtships and the shore. A note accom- panying the estimate says: The House of Representatives committee on international and foreign commerce on December 6, 1892, asked the ews of the Treasury Department as to: — bill (H. R. No. 9729) appropriating $50.0 - to provide communication from light outlyt light houses to the aon hee =e was made on December &, IX.
