Among the latest additions to the ranks of business men in this city is the establishment of Joseph Brothers & Co., who have leased the commodious building at 637 Louisiana avenue, in which to carry on a general auctioneering, commission and storage business. The members of the firm, Mr. Sol. Joseph and Mr. Philip Joseph, are well known in Baltimore and Washing- tcn, and their new venture is expected to meet with great succeas. In a recent con- versation, Mr. S. Joseph said; “We have come to Washington to establish a legiti- mate general auctioneering-and commission business by a judicious use of printer's ink in the daily press. We will conduct a busi- ness looking to the interest of both buyer and seller, and will permif-no goods to be bought in by any member, of our firm to save sacrificing them.”) The first and sec- ond stories of their building are devoted to auction purposes, while te remainder is used for the storage of funiture, merchan- dise, ete.

EVENTS OF THE NEAR FUTURE Where the Fashionables May Ex- pect to Meet Each Other. OTHER INTERESTING TOPICS een EES, The first week of December has gone by with a regular spin. The oldest inhabitant cannot recollect a winter so full of promise at the start. The introductions of the debutantes have, of course, had a great deal to do with it, but the entertainments have included a great, many other diver- sicns, and have been well varied. The quantity of invitations sent broadcast the past few days would indicate that the pace already set would be kept up for scme time to come, and the probabilities are that the elusive period known as @ “gay winter” is really a strong certainty. The debutantes are hanging together in pretty nearly all their entertainments, so that if one is seen the rest are in the same neighborhood. There is not a shadow of a doubt but that these interesting young ladies are prettier than ever this year, and brilliant futures are being predicted for them. One who is already quite the toast has, to use the language of the day, been “spoken for’ by an enormously rich suitor, and great are the expectations in conse- quence. These and other delicious and per- fectly harmless bits of gossip, which are chatted about the tea tables, add consider- able zest to the prospects of the girls hay- irg the good time which is their due. In the bunch of buds preseated the past week were Miss Clagett, Miss Hagner, Miss Ramsey, and today will come Miss Justine de Pyster. Next week Miss Sheridan, Miss Rush, Miss Helen sieele and Miss Ruth Harlan, will go thrvuzh the same pleasing experiences, and later, Miss Elizabeth Brewer, Miss Davis, Miss Call and Miss McCammon will be presented at teas. Among the events of the coming week will be on Monday, Mrs. Charles M. Thomas and Miss Thomas, a tea, at 920 Farragut square; Mrs. and Miss Rush, a tea, at the Alibi Club, 1806 I street; Mrs. Edward Middleton and Miss Middieton, a tea, at 228 A st.eet southeast, and Mrs. Ralph Cross Jonnson, sr., a tea at 5 o'clock. On Tuesday Mrs. Breckinridge will give a luncheon; Mrs. Phil. Sheridan, a tea, to introduce her ¢aughter; the marriage of Miss Lizzie Lyons to Representative Swanson of Virginia will take place, and Mrs, Herman Knickerbocker Viele will give a reception at J o'ctock. On Wednes- day at high, soon the marriage of Miss Mary Sherr.ean and Mr. James McCallum will take place at the residence of Senator Sherman, tnd Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Steele will give # ball as a coming out for their daughter, Miss Helen Steele. On Thurs- day Justice and Mrs. Harlan will give a tea to introdce their second daughter, Miss Ruth Harlan, on Friday Mrs. John F. Rodge-s wil) give a tea for Miss Sheri- dan, and Mr. and Mrs, Cabell an evening reception, at which the Secretary of the ‘Treasury will make an informal address, and on Saturday the Brazilian minister and Mrs. Mendonca will give the second of | their series of six musical evenings, and Miss McCammon will make her debut at a tea, Later invitations out are for an even- ing reception by Justice and Mrs. Brown on Tuesday, December 18, and the debut tea of Miss Elizabeth Brewer, for which the cards were sent out yesterday, and which wil occur on Wednesday, the 19th, from 4 to 7, Today’s events comprise the debut tea of Mise Justine de Pyster, and a dinner to be given by the Postmaster Gen- eral and Mrs Bissell, in honor of Minister and Mrs. Zeballos. ‘The Bachelors’ germans are being reor- ganized for the coming season, and seven- ty-five men wili be asked to subscribe. Three assemblies have been arranged for, Wednesdays, January 9 and 30, and Feb- ruary 20. The names on the committee are guarantee enough that the club is in for a successful season, Mr. William Hall Slack is the president, Mr. Jesse Brown, vice president, with Messrs. R. S. Chilton, Cc. C. Glover, Charles L. McCawley, Capt. Alexander Rodgers, J. Van Ness Phillips, Marquis Imperialli, Baron Ketteler, and P. Lee Phillips, secretary. The Hunt ball will be made a Christmas week frolic, to which season it rightfully belongs, and an assembly ball, or perhaps two, is also within the range of possibility. ‘The Bachelors’ germans are likely to be early affairs, though it is not at all. probable they will be small ones. The cotillion will begin at 10 and conclude a half hour past midnight. Jams as great as any which occurred last winter were noticeable the past week at several of the teas, and people are be- ginning to think that the ladies will either have to wear smaller sleeves or else not accept all their invitations. The big sleeves, which are stiffened out with buck- ram until they present as formidable an obstacle in passing your neighbor in a crowded room as the tall hat obstructs yeur vision at the theater, are really a menace to bric-a-brac, and several times last week nearly caused the setting on fire of houses where entertainments were in progress. One lady passing by a lamp on a table brushed the silk shade a little awry, and along came another, pushed by some one behind her, who upset the whole business, and only for the expeditious movements of those near by that tea would have wound up very disastrously to all concerned. Senator and Mrs. Call will present their daughter, Miss Call, at a_tea, Saturday, December 22, from 4 until 7, at their r dence. 143 N street. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas E.
