It kept growing worse, and every fall I would have a pain in my head, which would last day and night for a month. The worst trouble came on in one night. I woke up im the night, and my nose was stopped up entirely. I had a great deal of pain then, and IT got so that I could not sleep more than an hour at a time; my appetite was poor, and I was get- ting thin and getting weak, and trembled upon slight exertion. ‘There was considerable odor to the discharges from my nose, and every time I blow my nose a pain would shoot up over my eyes, Which was so severe that ft would make me dizzy. 1 was in such a condition that if 1 could | not get relief I would have to resize from the rellef. to Dr. force.

CPOE IOOSOOSOOOGOES 8.00 ups, THE SOCIAL WORLD The Teas, Dances and Dinners of the Week, ATTRACTIONS AS STRONG AS EVER Buds and Bouquets Go Hand Hand. OTHER INTERESTING TOPICS The pace set last week is being kept up beautifully, and inyifations are fiying around so thickly the folks in the swim have all they can do to keep up with the procession, fram house to house, Every possible variety ef entertainment is on the cards, although dancing parties, musicales and card pafties seem to have the most fashionable &pproval. ‘The Steele ball on Wednesday night was the first debut ball, but it will not be the last by any manner of meafis! The rest will prop+ eriy punctuate the{ regulary season. The teas are just as plentiful as ever, and some of them have been such jolly jams that the tendency to be so generous in the way of invitations might now and then be lessened with advantage all around. The list of those who &re going to entertain at dinners grows longer every day. Dr. and Mrs. Mackay-Smith will dine a com- pany next week to meet Mrs. Grant. The #rench ambassadoi and Mrs. Patenotre, Gen. and Mrs, Schotiéld, Mr. and Mra Whittemore, Representative and Mrs. Washington, the Brazilian minister and Mrs. Mendonca and Mrs. Satoris all- have dinner companies invited. Mrs. Carlisle has two luncheons ahead, one Wednesday and the second for Thursday for Miss Margaret Johnson, daughter of the chief of the bureau of engraving and printing, who is a Kentucky gifl, and a debutante. Attorney General and Mrs. Olney may be said to have started the cabinet ball roll- ing, by their invitatiéns to a reception on December 21. Mrs. Sartoris also comes in the line of entertainers by her tea invita- tions for the afternoon of the 2ist, and Mr. and Mrs. Leiter have cards out for a musicale on December 27. The buds hed pretty much all the glory of the week. On Monday Miss Emily Thomas, daughter of Commander and Mrs, Thomas, and Miss Rush, daughter of Lieutenant Commander and Mrs. Rush, made their debut, one at home and the otker amii the unique surroundings of the Alibt Club, Tuesday Miss Sheridan re- ceived the admiration of society other's home, which has been closed to the gay world since the death of Gen. Sheridan. Wednesday the ball of the week was given by Mr. and Mrs. Frank- lin Steele, jr. to presert their second daughter, Mi Helen Steele. Thursday society went out to Euclid honer to Miss Ruth Harlan, the Supreme Cout judge. Yesterday the buds were Miss Hichborn, daughter of Chief Naval Constructor Hichborn, and Miss Sampson, and today the smart world will say all its nice things over again for Miss McCammon, daughter of Judge and Mrs, McCammon. Next week will come the turn of Miss Elizabeth Brewer, Miss lise Davis and Miss Call. The preponderance of the debutante and other delightful forms of youthful feminine activity and the great scarcity of mer. dancing men as well as eligibles, is caus- ing some apprehension in the minds of those who have decided opinions on what a winter should be if a woman's idea of good times is going to be reached. The buds are undeniably very attractive this time, but the only thing the most of them can reasonably expect is to listen to the same old soft things uttered by gallant swains who thoroughly know how, for ihey have been saying them to every pretty girl for the last quarter of a century; if not this, then the undivided attention of some mamma's darling who is not through his schooling yet. To reinforce the danciag ranks this week men were brought from Baltimore, and, of cotrse, they came will- ingly enough. One tried and true hostess, who thinks she understands-the situation thoroughly, says that men worth consid- ering in a matrimonial way are at such a premium that shere are not enough nights In the week.for them to accept all the invitations laid before them. So the grumblers think that ‘f a dozen or two nice young men were; introduced, all of whom had shown gome creditable ability in making his own living, it would be a more welcome new# to the girls who are already out than pretty much anything else that could be thoyght of for them. Mr, and Mrs. A. C. Barney will give a dinner tonight in hongr of Mr, Benjamin Constant, who is dgaih the guest of the French ambassador, Among the eventS of the coming week will be on— Monday--Mrs. Letter, & tea at 5 o'clock.

Year, Mrs. Herenden of Mobile, will be hée another week with Mrs. Carlisle. Dr: and Mrs, Smith of gia will be the guests of their son, Secretary Smith, during the holidays. The bouquets sent to the debutantes has revived the fashion of carrying them at evening gatherings, There neyer was any more dainty finish to a ball totlet than a bouquet, and if the fashion in its re- vival can be kept within suitable bounds, and the boyquets kept at a reasonable size, the fashion will be a popular one even longer than it was before. The debut tea for Miss Martha Hichborn, daughter of the chief naval constructor, was the event yesterday afternoon, which brought together one of the largest com- panies of the week, although it was en- tirely made up of the young friends of the household, ‘fhe drawing room, where the debutante and her mother received, was transformed into a regular garden, the flowers sent the pretty and attractive young lady, to whom the day meant so much happiness, completely covering the mantelpieces, tables and grand plano, and even overflowing out into the dining room, where the mantelpiece was decked with more of the bouquets. Mrs. Hichborn re- ceived in an imported gown of black bro- caded satin, with the bodice of Dresden striped silk, trimmed with antique Floren- tine lace, and knots in light green velvet. The debutante wore a dainty gown of white Swiss muslin, striped with Valenciennes lace insertions. ‘Two! corsage bunches of violets Were worn,’anf one of her rose bouquets carried, |) Assisting in the pleasant hospitalities of the occasion were Miss Baker, Miss Ritten- house, Miss Wise, Miss Crow and Miss Wainwright. In the dining room, where ‘| the table decorations were in scarlet and gold, brotdered tissue, on Avhich rested a bi roses, and the tapers in the candel burned under ress ~shaties. Mrs, P. the center pypce” was of gold em- wl of Magruder, in e pretty gown of gray and tn etriped aig did de onorg a one GY and’ Misa Reeder at the othet. Thi servants passed about the salads, ices and all other substantia an elicacies. Afger the tea Mr. and Mra. Hi jorn entertained all the recelying party at dinner, and the enjoyment of the afternoon was continued in a@ most delightful way. From out- of-town friends the debutante received many notes of congratulation. Another debutante of the afternoon was Miss Nanie Sampson, daughter of Captain Sampson of the navy, and their home on New Hampshire avenue was a most cinating rendezvous for their friends after 5 o'clock. Mrs. Sampson wore a gown of black satin, lightened with touches of bluet. The debutante was in white mull, trimmed with lace, and the flowers she carried were a great bunch of Jacque- minot roses. Miss Sampson, the elder daughter of the house, Miss Ennis and Miss Schenck of Annapolis assisted in receiving. In the tea room Mrs. Hendrickson and Mrs. Lutze presided at the table. The friends of the debutante, as well as of her parents, sent her quantities of floral reminders of their friendship, and all the rooms were made fragrant with them. Mrs. John Rodgers gave a tea yesterday od honor of Miss Sheridan. Mrs. Sheridan, Mrs. McCawley, Miss Rush, Miss Todd, Miss Harlan, Miss Miles, Miss Pitts, Miss Palms, Miss Boardman, Miss Clagett and Miss Edith Patten received, and in the tea room Mrs. McRoberts and Miss Schenck presided.

Is that which best nourishes brain, nerves and muscles, Quaker Oats does it. Sold only in 2 Ib. gore “The Players.”—The organization of Co- lumbian University students and alumni known as “The Players” made its first public appearance yesterday afternoon at the New National Theater, presenting the opera “Dorothy.” The result showed that there is excellent material among the young gentlemen, both musically and dramatically, that only needs proper in- struction and direction to be advantage- ously available. The weakness in the per- formance was in insufficiency of rehearsals, and there did not elways seem to be a per- fect understanding between the people on the stage and the musical director. The young gentlemen did what has not been attempted by any other male organization —they sang the solos and concerted music fm adherence to the original score, instead of singing in unison, as is usually the case. Those who sustained female parts did very well in their unaccustomed attire, notably Hazen Bond as Dorothy, Leroy Gough as Lydia, B. B, Cushman as the widow, Dr. N, Willis Pomeroy as Lady Betty, while the chief figures in the male cast were Harry Hughes as Squire Bantam, W. H. Ccnley as the bailiff, Fred. M. Supplee, Melville Hensey, Theodore Friebus, j ‘aylor Cronin and Horace W«: cott. ‘The ballet corps was a decided hit, and Harry Sheridan es the premiere scored & pronounced success. Altogether the ef- fort of yesterday was @ commendable one, and showed that “The Players” surpass in musical and acting ability any magi organization that has been seen here. T audience was a large and fashionable one, and applause was frequent and emphatic. The Kirst Bischoff Concert.—The first of the hoff concerts this season took place at the Congregational Church and was well attended, as these entertain- ments always are. The participants in the program were all local people, and their efforts were thoroughly satisfactory. . Bischoff’s own work and the recitation of Mr. John Tweedale were perhaps the most interesting numbers, although, all the vocalists were in good voice and sang well, All thelr numbers were encored. Art Students’ League.—The course of lec- tures under the auspices of the Art Stu- dents’ League will commence this evening with a talk on “Modern Art,” by Wm. M. Chase. The subsequent lecturers will be F. Hopkinson Smith on “Quality of the Picturesque,” January 12; Wm. Ordway Partridge, ‘America’s Contribution to the World of Art,” February 16. A lecture on illustrative art, to be announced later, on March 16, and Mrs, Candace Wheeler on “Decorative Art,” April 18. These lectures take place at the Builders’ Exchange and tickets may be obtained of members of the league or at the league rooms, No. 808 17th street northwest. Lewis Harvie Finney’s Lecture.—On Wed- nesday evening of next week Lewis Harvie Finney, the well-known lecturer, will de- liver Metzerott Music Hall his new lec- ture, “The Glories of the Nile.” The lec- ture is most interestingly written and Mr. Finney has prepared for it a set of col- ored views made from photographs which have never been seen in this city before. These views will be shown on a twenty- four-foot screen, where they cannot but be seen to advantage Mr. Finney’s position in official life here has given him many friends, who undoubtedly will help to Mill the house next Wednesday night. Mozart Symphony Club.—One of the best of the traveling concert companies sent out from New York is the Mozart Symphony Club, which will be heard here December 26 in the National Lyceum course. In the club are a string quartet and vocal as well as instrumental soloists. Albaugh’s.—“A Galety Girl” will be pre- sented at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House next week, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday. This musical company, inter- preted by Mr. George Edwarde’s excellent company, has met with wonderful success at Daly's Theater, New York, and at the Hollis Street Theater, Boston, whence it comes direct to Albaugh’s. The young per- son whose name is affixed to the bilts, is, after all, only a pretext for the introdue- tion of picturesque dances, popular bailads, more or less felicitous jokes, and for ex- hiting a rare array of charming girls. Some may prefer the pas de trois rendered with such spirit in act 2 by Maggte Cross- land, Lucy Murray and May Lucas. Others again may like the final carnival ensem- ble. All are excellent. More attractive than all, perhaps, will be Juliette Nesville, who impersonates the wicked little French lady’s maid, on whom the action hinges. She is witty and bright, and she gives much point to every word that she speaks or sings In the plece. The girls are not the only attractions, either. Two or three of the actors press them hard. The old Major of Mr. Fred Kaye is legitimately humorous; the songs and acting of Mr. Monkhouse, who plays the part of an amorous military doctor, 1s consistently and unctuously droll;while the British Judge of Mr. Leedham Bantock rises to the dignity of high comedy. Shore Acres.—At Albaugh’s Grand Opera House the eminent character actor, James A. Herne, begins a_week’s engagement on Monday evening, December 24, when he will appear in his owm beautiful comedy- drama, “Shore Acres.” This play, which had a ‘run of 257 nights in New York city and 114 nights In Boston, is sure to create a profound sensation here. It is wholly unlike anything heretofore presented on the American stage, and has been accepted as an epoch-marking work. The author's interpretation of the leading role is highly commended. The company is a large one and they carry everything used in the pro- duction of “Shore Acres.” New National Theater.—De Wolf Hopper and his excellent company, with his latest and funniest success, “Dr. Syntax,” will be seen at the New National Theater for the first time in Washington next week. Academy of Music.—Ward and Vokes, two comedians well known here, and a good company will be next week's attrac- ticn at the Academy of Music. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—_Sam_ T. Jack's Creole Company will be the attra tion at the Lyceum next week and prom- ises a program replete with new features.
