SEVERAL FREPY WEDDINGS NEXT WEEK The Social Current is Beginning to Move Just a Little. OTHER INTERESTING GOSSIP —__--—_— Pecple come and go, but the West En4 resident goes on forever. If the soctal life of the capital depended entirely on offeial households, it would be rather dreary here nine months out of the year. Heppil though, these big guns have not all to do with it in keeping things moving, and the world runs along whether they are in town or not. The impulse already felt along the ne among the entertainers has come, as usual, from the residential part of society, and the rest of this and the whole of next month will be agreeably punctuated with such events. The interchange of dinners and luncheons has already so filled up some engagement books as to leave but few free days, and the hospitalities may be said to have scarcely begun. It is with just such ideas in view that the debutantes are making their hay while the sun shines, and most of the cards for the debut teas are ready to be sent out, or the informa- tion of the dates is very general. The buds are already out in great force in Bal- timore, and very properly, too, because many of the lurgest assemblies and some of the prettiest dances of the whole sea- son ure taking place there at this time. In a dancing way here the Indications are that about the usual average will be kept tp. As a rule, the germans and assem- biles do not reorganize until December, 80 that nothing definite as to days and dates can be announced just yet. Small dinners and theater parties have the right of way at present, until family gatherings and the lke around Thanksgiving make everything else stand «side. In all probability President and Mrs. Cleveland will eat their Thanksglving tur- key out at Woodley, and they could not se- lect any place where they would enjoy it more. They are likely to have a friend or so take dinner with them, and to have during the day visits from their intimate friends, so that being in the country means surrounding themselves with just the com- pany they want. The cabinet families, as a rule, will spend the national feast in this city. They have no plans ready made for the day's observ- ances, but will let things take their course und shape the program to suit events. The chances are that Secretary and Mrs.Gresh- am will dine out. Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle age not likely to,sit down to dinner without a friend or two, or perhaps more. The latch string hangs at a most convenient altitude at their front door, and the extra boards are rarely out of the dining room table. Late- ly Mr. and Mrs. Queen of Kentucky have been theff guests, and next month some young ladies will come from Kentucky to spend the gay season with them. Secretary and Mrs. Lamont are rarely without guests, mostly New York friends. The household at present is a pretty large one, and is just the right size for a Thanks- giving gathering, such as ts their pleasant custom. Wherever there Is a trio of inter- esting young children there is bound to be plenty life. The home of the Secretary of War to those who know the family only casually, as well as to those who >ave a closer acquaintance, seems the ideally hep- py home, where the holiday spirit 1s kept up the year round. Secretary Herbert and Miss Herbert have been down to their own beautiful state the past week and will spend their Thanks- giving here. Attorney General and Mrs. Olney are al- ways entertaining in a most hospitable way, and their observance of the New England feast day will be in keeping with these pleasant convictions. Mrs. Bissell has been out of town the past week, and the Thanksgiving celebra- tion for the household of the Postmaster General will be a delightful one at their home. Mrs. Bissell has succeeded in get- ting together in her house here one of the most tasteful collections of old-fashioned furniture. She is always adding a chair or a mirror, or something attractive in that line, which tn the years to come will make most substantial and pleasing souv- enirs of her life in Washington. The Secretary of the Interior and Mrs. Hoke Smith contemplate a quiet obsery- ance of the day with their family and their guests. Mrs. Smith has not been in very good health lately, and it will be some time yet before she will be able to under- take any extended social duties. Her mother will spend the winter with her, and other guests will come from time to time, as is ulways their custom in the household of the Smiths. The evening weddings of the coming week are decidedly interesting and will be largely attended. On Tuesday at 8 o'clock at the Ascension that of Miss Jessie Chris- topher and Mr. Victor Kauffmann will take place. The bride will be attended by a maid of honor, Miss Plain, and four bridesmaids—Miss Kauffmann and Miss Johnston and Miss Gilbert and Miss Shep- pard of Chicago. Mr. Frank 8. Katzen- back, jr., of Trenton, N. J., will be best man, and the ushers will be Messrs. Philip Ashton Rollins, Marshall Ely, J. Warren Bird and Hugh Jewett Guthrie of New York, Sidney Hale Furst of Lock Haven, Pa., and Howard N. Thompson of this city. ‘There are cards to be presented at the chureh, The reception, which will follow at the residence cf the bride’s mother, Mrs. J. 8.

The mar- riage will be solemnized under a bower of palms and flowers. Mr. Samuel Bates of Boston, cousia of the groom, will be best man, and Mr. Waldron Bates and Mr. les How Bates, alsor cousins of the pom, will b hers, with Mr. Charles yan’ Huyck, tne bride's brother, and Mr. ne of New York, her cousin.

Their Thanksgiv- ing dinner will, in all probability, be par- taken of at home, with a friend or two to enjoy it with thei. Mrs. and the Misses Brice, who are still in Europe, have not signified when they expect to return, and therefore the rumor | has gained credence that Corcoran house will be closed entirely this winter, as the ladies prefer to spend the time in Exypt The charming hospitality which they ha extended the last two winters has become such a leading feature of winter life he: that their absence will be greatly regrett« by soctety in general, as well as by their intimate friends. There are good reasons, however, for the statement that they will return by the new year, A very pretty wedding was celebrated at the home of the Misses Fowler, 1338 30th street, Wednesday evening, in which Miss Carrie Fowler and Mr. Lloyd Slack of Lec burg, Va., were the contracting parties Rev. Dr. Buck of St. John’s performed the ceremony. The bride was attired in a be- coming gown of brown cloth and velvet, with hat and gloves to match, and carried a large white chrysanthemum. She was given away by her brother, Enoch S. Fow- ler of Port Townsend, Wash., who came on to witness the ceremony. Little Carl Louise Bushby, dressed in white silk, acted. as flower bearer, and preceded the bridal cou- ple. As they came in, the bride's cousin, Miss Carrie Miller, played the wedding March from “Lohengrin.” In honor of the occasion the house was brilliantly illumi- nated and beautifully decorated with palms and white chrysanthemums. After the ceremony a reception was held, refresh- ments served, and later the newly married couple departed on a late train for a northern trip. The wedding presents were numerous and costly. Among the guests were Mrs. James Lewin and Miss Mary Willets of Brooklyn, Miss Slack, Miss Smale, Mr. and Mrs. Howell of Leesburg, Va., Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Bushby, Mr. Wil- liam Crews, Mrs. Sarah T. Crews, Mr. aud Mrs. W. Clary, Mr, and Mrs. Joshua Davis, Mrs. Martha’ Cruit and daughters, Dr. Clifton Mayfield, Miss Owen, Mrs. L. Ken- gla, Mr. and Mrs. A. Giles, Dr. and Mrs. Buck, Mrs. J.

The many friends in Washington of Mra Blair, wife of Representative Blair, of New Hampshire, will learn with pleasure that the volume upon which she has been en- gaged for some time past is now in the hands of the printer, and will soon be is- sued by Lee & Shepard, the well-known Boston publishers. Its title is “ ‘Lisbeth Wilson, a Daughter of New Hampshire Hills.” The motive of the story is the il- lustration of @ type of character which ale ways held truth, sincerity and righteous- ness as the chief earthly good. As indicat- ed by its title, its field of action is laid prine cipally in the White Mountain regions; better spirit of that section perv: throughout, and those who havi glimpses of the manuscript are full praise of the touches of quaint, delicat and pathetlo humor, the charming piotu: of New England scenery, and the life-Ii portrayals of New England c! ter whica ~ | ite | I'l make an honest effort to do It. = delineation of which essential ie success of any work 0! th who know Mrs. Blair know fist te once @ receptive and aj tive studen$ and an intelligent and faithful interpreter. abound in its pages.

A SUBSCRIBER. —— Expectoration Approves To the Editor of The Evening Star: There are two communications in last evening’s edition of The Star relative to the unbearable and most disgusting habit that some men have of expectorating on the floors of street cars that have my un- qualified approval. Daily I am obliged to use the street cars, and language is too poor to express what I suffer in conse- quence of this loathsome spitting It 1s, to me, inconceivable that a sane human being should voluntarily so degrade himself in public, but that decent men (a woman, of course, is helpless) shoul uncomplainingly submit to the intolerable nuisance is past understanding. ying aside every other consideration the filthy habit is a constant menace to health. I heartily join !n the petition that you lend your potent aid to bring about a pro- hibition of this shocking SS a An Inexeusably Filthy Habit. To the Editor of The Eveving Star: Let me—a temporary sojourner in your beautiful city—add my voice to that of A. P. 8S. about the vile, disgusting, filthy habit of my scx in covering the floors of street cars with the horribly diszusting contents of their mouths. I have traveled much, yet I never saw this dirty practice anywhere carried to the extent it is in Washington. Please lend the strong voice of your valuable journal to stop it. i P. J. VALLAND. > Took the Pledge. Policeman Pat Creagh of the s'xth pre- cinct had a case in the Police Court this morning, but, unlike the average lce- man, he did not want his victim sent to prison. What he wanted was for Judge Kimball to lend the man a helping hand and rescue him from the evils of intem- perance. John Shidy was the prisoner's name, and he wos willing to do anything the court desired if the court would only release him. “I arrested him because he has been on a drunk for a long time,” said Policeman Creagh. “He hus an aged mother and sev- 1 children, and his wife is dead.” ‘How long has he been on this spree?” the court asked. “Two months,” the officer responded. “If your honor will give him some goo advice I think he will take the pledge aud co bet- ter.” “Did you ever take the pledge before?” prisoner was asked. sii was his response; “and I kept it, too. “This doesn’t look much like it marked the court. “I only took it for two years that time,” said John, “and if your honor will give me a chance today I'll make It five.” “That won't do,” said the judge. “If a thing Is good for two years it's good for 1 know that, judge,” said Johfi, “and “Do you think he'll do it?’ the judge | asked the officer. “I think he will," the officer responded; “and if he doesn’t, he knows what will > | heppen.”” ‘The judge released John on his personal bonds. pe forms will yield to the use of Carter's Little Nerve Pills, aided by Car- tere 1 Liver Pitie.
