THE WINTER GARDEN OF BUDS Some Are Rich but All Are Pretty : and Engaging. ABOUT OTHER FOLKS The buds for the coming winter are not likely to be as numerous as last year. The coming-out teas last December began the lirst week of the winter and pleasantly dotted the seazon clear through to its finish. There were between thirty and forty debutantes, and it may be safely said that nearly all tasted the joys of belleship in their own particular circles. Epidemics of this order rarely run through another season, but the prospects are that the coming winter will make almost as unsatisfactory a record to the older girls, who were unanimous in their opinion last year that the debutante business was largely overd It Is positively cruel to let these little thorns in their rosy paths appear at this juncture, but the buds may as well understand first as lest that they are entering a garden so weil stocked al- ready with full biown roses that it will take supereminent advantages in the way of money, manners and wo:nanly charms for a newcomer to make an impression. Any list at this writing is likely to be a dozen names too short, for announcing a girl's debut is something very many moth- ers prefer to kcep a profound secret until the auspicious date arrives. There are some beautiful girls in the number and some very wealthy ones. It may be safer, and certainly is a more prac- tical statement, only to mention the latter. This part of the list includes Miss Natalie Barney, whose parents enjoy separate in- comes, who live like princes and are devot- ed to society and the arts; Miss Newlands, who will inherit a fair part of the Sharon millions, seme of which are invested in the picturesque Chevy Chase property; ‘Miss Warder, second daughter of Mrs. B. H. Warder, of whose wealth ther2 is ample evidence ir this city alone, and Miss Jane Fuller, youngest daughter of the chief jus- tice of the Supreme Court. In the official circle there are the two beautiful daughters of the Vice President, Miss Letitia and Miss Julia Stevenson, and Miss Wilson, the eldest daughter of the Postmaster General. Miss Wilson is most attractive in person, and her education has been a labor of love on the part of her parents. Mrs. Wilson’s health, which is far from robust, will scarcely permit her to take much part in extended social af- fairs, but her daughter will be in- every way a strong help. Among the court fam- ilies, Miss Jane Fuller is probably the only debutante. She is as brimful of talent as her older sisters, and is fond of society. -Most of her friends, too, have been her companions since the family came here to lve, and with them, as with all the older acquaintances of the family, she is a great favorite. “Miss Margaret Gana, daughter of the Clean minister, will be among the few buds in the diplomatic circle. Miss Gana is a handsome girl, and her blonde beauty makes her a wonderful contrast to her mother, who Is a superb type of the Castilian beauty. Miss Gana has lived Jess in Chile than anywhere else. She Speaks ‘not only Spatiish and English, but German and.other..Janguages, and has a musical taient which has been well culti- vated. The Ganas have taken a nouse on K street, which will figure prominently, as their home always does, in the list of win- ter entertaining centers. Miss Mattingly, second daughter of Mr. ard Mrs. Mattingly, who is just back with the family from Europe; Miss Sowers, her cousin, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Sowers, who has also enjoyed a recent European tour as a finishing touch; Miss Dorothy Rockhill, daughter of the assistant secre- tary of state; Miss Ashton, ‘laughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hubley Ashton; Miss Dodge, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dodge, are others in the list. Miss Barney was presented to society the past summer at Bar Harbor, wh many prominent in home society staying. She is a fine-looking «irl, and with parents devoted to hospitality and the enjoyment of the good things of life, enters the social arena well fortified. No end of superb entertainments will mark her debut here. Miss Louie Dale Leeds of 1:14 6th street northwest has returned home after an ab- sence ef nine weeks in southern Pennsyl- vania. Mrs. G. G. Martin has removed from her former home, 1756 Q strect northwest, to 1322 L street northwest, where she will be pleased to see her friends. Mrs. L. M.

A HUSBAND'S LIABILITY, A Jury Declares Dr. Irwin Must Pay His Former Wife’s Dressmaking Bill. An interesting case, involving the ques- tion of the liability of a husband for the debts of his wife, was decided before Judge Cole yesterday afternoon in a suit insti- tuted by Mary Coffey, a dressmaker, against Dr. Fairfax Irwin of the marine hospital service, to recéver the sum of $233 for work dore for the doctor’s wife, from whom he scme time ago secured a divorces. The work was done during the spring, summer snd fall of 1888, at a time when Dr. Irwin was stationed at Boston. He claimed that le knew nothing of the mat- ter; that his wife contracted for the work out of her separate estate, and that Mrs. Coffey’s claim was barred by the statute of limitations. In instructing the jury Judge Cole told them that they should decide whether the plaintiff had the opportunity to institute the suit within three years af- ter the making of the debt. If she had not, the statute of limitations did not apply. The court also told the jury that even where a wif enjoyed a large or small sep- arate estate the husband was just as inuch Mable for her reasonable support as if she had no separate estate whatever. And the jury were told also that they should de- cide whether the work done by the plaintiff was that which Mrs. Irwin was eae to have because of her position. But, said the court, even if the work was beyond a Ledge ‘8 position in life, the husband becam: a sponsible if he failed to avail hhimeeif of hi right to restrict her as to her expenditures. The jury returned a verdict, after some de- liberation, in favor of Mrs. Coffey ior the full amount of her claim, with interest, ——.__ The Week’s Building Record.
