As one of Littlefield & Alvord’s: wagons with ten big Percheron horses was slowly making its way up the hill at 15th street, hauling a piece of marble for the new gallery, a grip car ran into it. The'marble was from the Norcross, Ga., quarries; and was fifteen feet long by four high jand three wide, its weight being ove: i pounds. The grip- man miscalculate fe ability of the ten horses to get out of his way, and failed to hold up quite soon enough. In the collision no lives were lost and no bones broken, but the grip car was sliced in two about half its length. The conduttor blamed the col- ored driver of the wagon, but the gripman did not. Neither was the gripman much at fault, as the wagon was near a curve, and the gripman had little time in which to stop his train. wit THE SOCIAL WORLD The Weddings and Other Events of Gotham and Home. ECHOES OF A BUSY WEEK Forecast of Days and Nights to Come. THE PRESIDENT’S SQUIRRELS There was a friendly sociable air about the Whitney-Paget nuptials that seemed so indi- cative of the character of the ex-Secretary of the Navy, that the Washingtonians pres- ent could not fail to be impressed with it at every turn. The elegant simplicity of all the details was in refreshing contrast to the wonderful features of the union of the Marlborough and Vanderbilt houses. St. Thomas’ Church ts small, dark, indeed, al- most dingy, and New York decorators are Mable to pile more palms and flowers in it thant can stand. Every one was naturally so hungry for a glimpse of the bride and the fortunate man, who had won her, that they felt an especial grudge against each of the enormous palms, which nearly hid the beau- ty of the chancel and the grouping of the bridal party there. The guests comfortably filled the church at 11 o'clock, and after that the rest of the hundreds who came had some trouble getting good locations. An hour of exquisite music by the best artists was enjoyed before the bride came, although 1: only seemed a few minutes. The ushers—the most prominent of New York club men—did their work with the gtece and ease of veterans, All the guests were not of the upper crust by any means. Mr. Whitney is not the man to forget his hvmbler friends. There were numbers of jainly dressed ladies who held the coveted d of admission to St. Thomas’ portals, re and they received just as polite attention as did any of the multi-millionaires. But if there is one subject of which the aver- age New Yorker is profoundly ignorant it is in relation to Washington officialdom. The persorages who go to make up official and even resident society here might be dwellers in air castles for all it seems to Interest them. It was rather funny at this wedding to see how perfectly the diplomatic Washingtonians understcod this. Al the New York grandees were escorted up the middle aisle, but when the Turkish min- ister, Mavroyeni Bey, came in he was al- lewed to stroll up the side aisle. Knowing, kewever, what an important feature he was to the spectacle, the sultan's little man kept right along till he reached the place reserved for Lim in the front pews. The Lelgiun minister, Mr. Le Ghait, did_the same thing, but he followed Mrs. Scott Townsend, who was bound in that direc- tion, and anct cred in the right spot. Mr. and Mrs. Almeric Paget make a most interesting couple. He has more the face udent than a business man, and on de there were heard most favorable ts. His family were extremely in- terested in his marriage. His younger sis- ter has been here since last summer visit- ing the Whitneys, and his brother, who was his best man, just arrived in time for the wedding. Lady Colebrooke, another sister, was also present, and at the wedding, as well as at the horse show and all the other peial functions at which they have as- ed, have been most elegantly gowned. Mr.’ Whitney has aged somewhat in his ce since he was last seen in this mustache and hair are gray, but have lost none of their kindly his eyes gleam, nor has h!s manner lost any of its friendliness. Despite all the rumors to the contrary, it is said by those who are most closely attached to him and are best able to form an opinion, that Mr. Whitney will not marry again. The high esteem in which he is held by all who know him, and the memory of his wife, gave to the marriage of their daughter,on the part of his friends, an affectionate personal interest,than which no finer tribute can be shown. The horse show attracted a pretty good- sized Washington audience, although many of those who were announced as would-be attendants were met on the streets here all week. But, as Miss Tillie Frelinghuy- sen used to say, “You would save yourself a lot of wear and tear if your name only went abroad and you stayed at home.” There was a good dollar’s worth of enter- tainment, though, in the admission ticket, which allowed you to join the promenading throng and the privilege of gazing up at the fashionable set in the boxes. There are two upper galleries in the Madison Square Garden in which the seats are free, and heaven knows they ought to be, to any one with courage to climb that near the roof. Twelve and fifteen thousand people jammed the garden every night this week. Some part of these multitudes saw the performances in the ring, but the majority did not care for anything going on !n the tan bark when the chance was so good to see the swellest New York set in finest feather and in full war paint—war paint is used advisedly. There are so few women in good society here who go in for cos- metics to any great degree that to see the painted beauties in the boxes, like wax figures in a show window, was startling, to say the least. The only thing that can possibly be said in favor of these frescoed grand dames, old and young, was that very few had committed the more unpardonable crime of blondined hair. Ladies who want a_new tint for fall and winter wear must please take notice. The swell thing in hair is auburn, a glossy auburn, which in unkind minds ana old-fashioned visions might really be called red. One of the most successful costumes worn with this hair was on a leader just back from Paris. It was black, the waist of net striped with turquoise and jet passemen- terie. Sleeves, judging from the examples worn, are not phenomenal in size, and are all inclined to droop toward the elbow. Elizabethan ruffs in lace, chiffon or tulle are the latest neck trimmings. Miss Whit- ney’s bridesmaids wore them made of tulle, in glowing colors. Their dresses were dark and trimmed with sable. It seemed an incongruous condition of things to meet a young lady arrayed in all the dairtiness of pearl white bengaline and silvered, spangled chiffon, quite ele- gant enough for a wedding dress, down among the stalls with the horse’. Yet it was a common, every evening scene. The Howlands, the Townsends and the Brices were the Washingtonians most in evidence in the boxes. The unattached members of the diplcmatic corps, ‘““Mavvy"’ Bey, M. Le Ghait, Baron von Ketteler and a few others, were like bees, sipping the sweets from one box to another, and hay- ing no end of a good time. There are two great principles back of the horse show, or it could not keep to the front as it does in the public favor. One is the improvement of the horse and the other is the opportunities it gives the rich people, plainly ticketed, to show themselves and_ their fine clothes to the world at large. This latter is evidently the stronger feel- ing, but why the nabobs would not select some other way or some other place, where the air could be better and purer, is a conundrum time alone can answer. One couple who seemed to attract a great deal of attention whenever they stirred from their box at the show was Mr. and Mrs. De Lamer. Mr. De Lamar will be readily re- membered as the mining prince, whom an- other prince of that period, Prince Russell Harrison, introduced to Washington society. Mr. De Lamar’s debut was an expensive ex- perience, but it was probably worth all it cost, and has saved him money since. He was top of the heap here while he lasted, and he went away all too soon. The more so, too, as there was a reasonable expecta- tion that he wanted a wife, and was not par- ticular whether she was rich or not. We had some v nice girls on hand just then, but while he showered fifty-dollar bouquets and twenty-dollar honbonnieres on them, it is not on record that any had a chance to re- fuse his hand. His rose dinner for Mrs. Russell Harrison at the Arlington will cause his name to go down into history as a princely entertainer. Just before the guests left the tabla they were showered with roses, which the host, by simply touching an electric button, caused to fall from the can- opy over their heads. Mr. De Lamar was not in New York long before he selected a wife. She is very attractive, with a doll- like prettiness, and has more gowns and jewels than u: rich women. The couple is rapidly coming to the front rank as hest and hostess, and particularly aboard their yacht, in which the former rode first into social prominence in Gotham. There is some talk of the formation of a dinner dance club this winter, and less chance than usual that it will all end tn taik. Out in Oakland, Cal., there is a fine tempest in a tea pot in the Saturday fash- ionable Cotillion Club as ‘to whether the uly comes to the lot of even j dance shall be over at half-past ten or eleven. The president of the club had more San Francisco friends than Oakland ac- quaintances, and she was anxious to finish the cotillion in time for the former to catch a boat over the bay, so that they could be home before Sunday morning. She had re- ligious scruples over taking up the Sunday with the remnants of the pleasure, and the rest of the committee had even stronger scruples against breaking their word, which had been pledged to the Oakland young peo- ple that the dance would keep up until eleven. The eleven o’clock’s won, as the president resigned. Out ofall is the moral of early hours. These dances commence at 7:45 and end at 1l—a sensible proceeding and well worthy of imitation right here and worth earnest discussion at all the pre- liminary meetings before any of these small dancing affairs are arranged. Now, after all these good times away fiom home it is only reasonable to suppose that events here will brighten up. It has net been entirely dull by any means. A number of luncheons have delightfully broken the monotony and let in light on seme of the plans for the season. The wed- dings of the coming week will engross pretty much all social attention, with here and there a tea or a dinner. The Chevy Chase Club will inaugurate the hunting sczson by a tea, of which Mrs. S. S. How- land will be hostess, on November 26. Two other tea dates are also assured, with three hunts a week in December. A pink ccat ball will help to illuminate the holiday season and to keep up the interest in the hunt till the regular town frolics are daily events. The dinner givers are already to the fore. Some of the more important spreads lately have been given by the Secretary of State and Mrs. Oiney, the Secretary of the In- terior and Mrs. Smith, the Mexican min- ister and Mrs. Romero, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. M. Curry and General and Mrs. Moore. Secretary and Mrs. Olney cortinue their Sunday dirners, and have a company in- vited for tomorrow night. Last week Sec- retary and Mrs. Smith dined a company in honor of the sister of the latter, Mrs. McMurtrie, who was here for a visit. ‘he menu of the cabinet tables has had an important addition at frequent intervals lately by t receipt from Weodley, with the President’s compliments, of three or four squirrels, part of his own game bag and the results of his gunning expedition ii the neighborhood of his country home. Mrs. Jno. W. Foster gave a luncheon yes- terday, at which Mrs. Romero, Mrs. Jno. M. Wilson, Mrs. Crosby S. Noyes, Mrs. S. H. Kauffmann, Mrs. Jes. C. Breckinridge, Mrs. E. B. Wight, Mrs, Shellabarger, Mrs. Painter. Mrs. Gallaudet, Mrs. Parker, Mrs. Chapin, Mrs. Thomas Wilson and Mrs. Jno. O, Evans were guests. Miss Sue Yeatman of Norfolk, Va., is visiting Mrs. Robt. Callum, 1735 De Sales street. Col. W. H. Walcott and family are now resid'ng at 704 20th street northwest. Mrs. Walcott will receive on Friday afternoons, but will retain Saturday evening for the mu- sieales she always gives. Monday evening next Col. and Mrs. Walcott will hold a re- ception from 9 to 11 o'clock, in honor of the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Melvin C. Hazen will not be home to their friends on November 15, as announced, but will be home at 623 F street, December 10. Mrs. Charles W. Meyers has returned from a six months’ visit to her mother, Mrs. E. F. Brooks, at Pasadena, Cal., much improved in health, and is residing at 1450 P street northwest, having leased her sum- mer home in Brightwood. A brilliant wedding will take place on Tuesday evening next at 8 o'clock, at Trinity P. E. Church. The contracting parties are Miss Gertrude Evangeline Mathewson and Mr. Joseph Clarkson Ring- walt. Miss Mathewson will be attend- ed by her younger sister, Miss Adelia E. Mathewson, and Mr. George A. Terrett of Louisiana will be best man. There will be no bridesmaids. The ushers are Mr. Charles F. Roberts, Mr. Edgar M. Shaw, Mr. Thos. S. White and Mr. Harry G. Wilbur of At- lanta, Ga. Miss Mathewson has already re- ceived a large number of exquisite presents from her many fr:ends and relatives. Mr. Samuel W. Wood and Miss Mary D. Underwood were married Thursday even- ing at Marvin M. E. Church South in the presence of a large gathering of their per- sonal fmends. The bride and groom entered the church preceded by the u: R. H. Wathen, H. B. Linkins, kins and Dr. F. W. Braden, and the maid of honor, Miss Carrie Linkins, cousin of the bride, with Mr. John F. Bolen best man. ‘The ceremony was performed by the Rev. H. I. Stephens of Middleburg, Va., assisted by Rev. W. S. Hammond, pastor of the church. The bride was besomingly gowned in brown and green silk, and carried a bou- quet of bride's roses. The maid of honor wore novelty cloth and carried pink roses. After the ceremcny a reception was held at the residence of the bride’s parents, 1325 1st street southwest, where the couple re- ceived the congratulations of their friends. Mr. and Mrs. Wocd were the recipients of many handsome and useful presents. Capt. James A. Snyder, United States army, and family have located at 1834 Jef- terson plece. The marriage of Dr. James Morgan Bar- ber of this city and Miss Juliette Hunger- ford was celebra:ed on Thursday at Way- side, Md. The bride was attended by Miss Mary Barber 9f Wayside as maid of honor, who wore pink silk and carried carnations: The bridesmaids were Misses Page and Nagnie Humphreys of Wilmington, N. C., Miss Lillie Cox of Kinsale, Va., Miss Eliza- beth Barber of Wayside, Md., Miss Mary Chapman of La Plata, Md., and Miss Anna Polk of this city. They were gowned in white organdie and carried chrysanthe- mums to match their ribbons.

In view of the approaching social season at the capital it is suggested to the army, navy and marine corps the renewal of the old army and navy assemblies, which were so popular in the days gone by.

It requires but a membership of one hundred to give four assemblies, and this brief suggestion is made to call the attention of those interested to organize and as soon as possible call a meeting to select dates.
