Mrs. Thurber Entertains a Number of Ladies at an Afternoon Game— Personal Mention. Society has not yet half recovered from the delightful excitement caused by the announcement of the engagement of Miss Leiter to Hon. George N. Curzon, M. P. Those who have had the pleasure of ex- pressing their congratulations to the hand- some bride-elect herself have found her radiant with happiness over the near ar- rival of her fiance and the approach of her wedding day. There are many reasons for supposing that this last international romance will be one of the happiest of them all, for the couple have so- many tastes in common, and the groom-elect ts of a most suitable age. Mr. Curzon is said te be a delightful man socially, having traveled extensively, and his literary tal- ents are inherited. His father, the present Lord Scarsdale, is a Church of England clergyman, and his inheritance of the title has been comparatively recent. The family is not supposed to be a wealthy one, but is influential, and, from the career of the present member from Lancashire, exceed- ingly progressive. Miss Leiter has English ancestors on the maternal side. She is de- scendec from John Carver, who came over in the Mayflower, and who afterward be- came the first governor of the colony at Plymouth. Mrs. Leiter’s family, the Car- vers, were reared in Warren, Pa., but her father went to Chicago in hi: iy man- hood, and was identified with its first im-. portant business interests. Both her father and his son, Frank Carver, were bankers there, and were always surrounded by all the advantages which wealth could secure. The Leiters came from Leitersburg, near Hagerstown, Washington county, Md. One of Mr. Leiter’s brothers still resides at the eld place, and is well known among the most prosperous German farmers of that section. Mr. L. Z. Leiter left the farm in early life and went to Chicago, where he went into business and became a_ member of the dry goods firm of Field, Leiter & Cempany. In this business and by judicious investments in real estate and silver min- ing st he amassed a great fortune. About tem years ago he came to this city to reside, and since then his family has been very prominent in all its social mat- ters. They occupied the Blaine mansion on Dupont Circle for most of this time, until nearly two years ago their present mansion was completed. Of late years the family have traveled all over the United States and ‘Alaska, as well as Europe. The daughters have been presented at the court of St. James, and Miss Leiter has been admired both at home and abroad. The wedding day is not definitely set, but it is likely to be Waster Monday, April 15, or perhaps Wednesday of Easter week, and the cere- mony will take place at the Leiter mansion, in all probability. Mrs. Thurber entertained a large com- any of ladies yesterday afternoon to a Progressive euchre party, in compliment to Miss Thurber, who is with her on a visit. The prizes were pretty crystal can- dle lamps and embroidered pincushions. Tables were arranged in both the library and parlor, and after the games were over Mrs. Parker presided over the daintily set refreshment table in the dining room. Among those present were Mrs. Carlisle, Mrs. Lamont, Miss Herbert, Miss Morton, Mrs. Schofield, Mrs. Ruggles, Mrs. Romero, Mrs. McAdoo, Mrs. Maxwell, Mrs. McMil- lan, Mrs. Outhwaite, Mrs. Sowers, Mrs. Eckles, Mrs. Fuller, Mrs. Spaulding, Mrs. Ffculke, Mrs. Sternberg, Miss Morris, Miss Reed, Mrs. Uhl, Mrs. Attwell, Mrs. William K.

Ex-Representative Bourke Cockran sailed for Europe today. Mr. and Mrs. Bissell are going to New York fer a few days this week, but as al- ready stated in these columns, have no in- tention of leaving this city permanently until May. Mrs. Electa E. Smith entertained a large company of Illinois friends on Saturday night, who were invited to meet General and Mrs. Henderson of that state. The oc- casion was a delightful one, and brought together a congenial gathering. The draw- ing rooms were prettily decorated with palms and flowers, and a dainty collation was served. One effective point in the decoration was the wreath of roses around a portrait of the special guest of the even- ing. Miss Grace Boynton Hamm of Ster- ling, Ill, niece of the hostess, who is mak- ing her a visit, gave some delightful music during the evening. = Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle have received a cable message from their son, Mr. W. K. Carlisle, announcing his safe arrival on the other side, and that he was greatly bene- fited in health by the voy: He will probably remain abroad t or four weeks. Mrs. N. H.

Kerber, Mr. Jos. Hodgson and Mr. Frank Mayhew. The bride was tastefully attired in light gray albatross, trimmed in lace and pearls, and carried a cluster of bride's roses. After the ceremony the guests re- paired to the residence of Mrs. C. lL. Ker- ber, sister of the groom, where a reception was held. After receiving the couple left for their new home in Philadelphia.

Anthropometry, The Anthropological Society listened to a lecture last evening at the Cosmos Club by Prof. Franz Boas, on “The Application of Statistics to Anthropometry.” Dr. Boas presented a scientific consideration of the subject of race variation and development, declaring that the phenomena of variance did not occur by chance, but that the mix- ture of different types produced results cor- responding in part with those producing types. The adaptation to environment was @ factor in variation also to be taken ac- count of in connection with the laws of type reproduction. ——.__ Poet Pound Party.
