THE SOCIAL WORLD Forty-Nine Days of Pleasure After New Year. A FORECAST AND A RESUME —— The Social Calendar of the Com- ing Week. UNCHEONS, DINNERS, TEAS — + With the days as busy as they have been all the past week and the long program for the coming one, it begins to look like a Liessing that the social season after New Year will not last longer than forty-nine @ays. Ash Wednesday is due on February 19, and while that date is but a temporary check to the gayet:es during a long session of Congress, it generally means that the backbone of the seasofi is broken, and that the weal end is in sight. December has been so busy and is so fully marked up to the very last dey that the addition of these four weeks will be about all the average reputation for amiability and good clothes could possibly stand. It is simply lovely now, the good humor that everybody is in, and the rosy views with which the debu- tantes have charged the atmosphere have been delightfully contagious. When the evening performances commence (they only exist now for the favored souls who belongs to the dining-out fraternity), all this charm- .08 Sereiity, now unclouded by a rush oi engagements and undisturbed by incipient uyspepsia, will have evaporated and the hard work of being on hand at the proper moment to be amused will be a daily ana hourly task. The debutantes have come along every day, either in little family groups or sirgly, and they make such a charming addition to the body social that one might reasonably wish that there migh: be a hundred more. Many new names have appeared in the list of hostesses lately, al- though few of the old fayorites have di: appointed their friends in the expectation: termed. Dancing events are pleasantly an- nounced by the invitations sent out by Mrs. Leiter for the 24tb and Mrs. Draper for the vith, with an almost certainty that Mrs. and the Misses Brice will mark their re- turn to tewn by a dance some time during the holidays. Miss Casselis starts the dances by her invitations for Monday even- ing, when the partners will be Princeton men. The dinners and teas of the past week have been its most notable features. Prom inent among the dinners were those giver. by Mr. and Mrs. Boardman, Mrs. Stanley Matthews, Miss Gale, the Mexican min.s ter and Mrs. Romero, and Assistant Si retary Curtis. The teas have run along al! week fn an uninterrupted stream, and sh no signs of letting up during the com! ore. Beginning with the debut of Mis Mary Condit-Smith Monday afternoon, which was a brilliant opening for the week's pleasures, each day has been full of inter- esting occasions The other buds of tae week are Mi: Edith McCammon, Miss Mildred Merrick, Miss Rittenhouse, Mis Gordon, and for today there are Miss Jan: Fuller, Miss Rockhill, daughter of the as- sistant secretary of state, and Miss May Catlin, daughter of Mrs. Robert Catlin. In next week's list there are Miss Norris, Miss Riley, Miss Leech, Miss Alice Langhorne, Miss Letitia Ewing Stevenson and Miss Julia Green Scott. The reception next Fri- day evening at which these last young ladies, the daughter and the niece of the Vice President, will make their debut will be among the most notable events of this administration, at which all the official and social luster of the moment will be gather- ed. The entire first floor of the Normandie Hotel will be in service and superbly dec- orated for the event. The list of gayeties for the coming week is full of interesting events. The first day is largely given up to festivities for the Princeton men. Among the events are for Monday— Mrs. Beriah Wilkins, a tea, 4 to 6, to meet the Princeton University Glee Club. Miss May Keyworth Barbour, a dinner. The Misses Mattingly, a dinner. Miss Margaret Cassels, a dancing party, all in honor of the wearers of the yellow and black.

Col. and Mrs. Fred. Grant will be -here during the holidays to visit Mrs. U. S. Grant, who will give a dinner in their honor December 30. Mrs. George B. Williams ani Mrs. J. De Witt Arnold entertained at one of the daintiest luncheons of the week Wednes- day. The decorations were in green und white, and among the gues's were Mrs. Romero, Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. Jno. W. Fos- ter, Mrs. Seaton Perry, Mrs. Crump of Philadelphia, Mrs. Ffoulke, Mrs. H. M. Hutchinson, Mrs. Lander and Miss Ida Stewart. It is unusual for any event to acquire the unique distinction of being talked about a whole week after its occurrence. Yet the authors’ readings, by Mr. Thomas Nel- sen Page and Mr. F. Hopkinson Smith, of which so much was naturally expected, so far exceeded the most delightful anticipa- tions that every mention of it repeats the pleasure again. The audience was a mag- rificent one from a social and inteliectnal standpoint, and, as one lady remarked, re- minded her of the gatherings of her youn: ladyhood, where everybody was somebody and the mighty dollar aid not enter into one’s social fitness at all. Mr. Page's mother was In the audience, ang somebody remarked to her what a pleasure it to hear her son read, and she replied am glad you liked it, for he has been ing just like that to me since he w: little boy.” After the reading Mr. Page entertained a large company of genUemen at his house, who were asked to meet Hopkinson Smith, who, with his were Mr, and Mrs. Page's guests during their stay here. Mrs. Clifton R. Breckinridge enjoys the aistin ing the first wife of an American ambassador to give birth to a child in the capital of a country to which her husbaad is accredited and during hs tenure of office. This being the case, she has the traditional prerogative of demand- ing that the monarch and his consort shall act as godfather and godmother to the child. The youthful Breckinridge will,there- fore, be held at the baptismal font by the czar and czarina, and may possibly receive by way of a christening gift the silver cradle which was formerly presented on oc- casions of this kind by the imperial or royal sponsors. The only other American lady to be thus honored by the czar is the wife of the former German ambassador at St. Petersburg, a daughter of John Jay of New York. She gave birth to several children while in Russia, and Alexander III and the now widowed empress officiated as god- parents for at least one of her offspring. Baroness Von Thielman. Baroness von Thielman, wife of the Ger- man ambassador, is a young and most at- tractive matron, who is bound to make friends at every turn. She speaks English fluently, having been born and reared in Dresden, and frequently in company with English-speaking friends. Many of the traveled Americans, particularly among the northerners, were her acquaintances before her marriage. The baroness has two little girls—Carola, five years, and Hilda, three years old. They are comfort- able little bodies these cold days, with their yellow curls and rosy cheeks, out with their nurses. Baron and Baroness von Thielman brought a great deal of their own household belongings here with them, which give a homelike touch to the em- bassy. They have resided for some time at Constantinople, and naturally did what all travelers do in that fascinating end of the world—increase their store of rugs, hangings and curios, which are not part of the adornment of their present home. Miss Clara Busch, daughter of the brewer prince, and Paul von Gontard will be maz- ried Mondsy night at the Church of the Messiah, St, Louis, and the preparations vid fair to outdo the Marlborough-Vander- {It nuptials. Paul von Gontard belongs to the landed robility of Westphalia, and ould, if he choose, lay claim to the title of varon. He is chief officer and part owner of a great iron foundry at Hagen, in West- phalla; draws a salary of 20,000 marks, be- des dividends, and, according to Germar ‘as, is a man of wealth. The floral deco- rations at the church are to be most elabo- rate. At the head of each pew will be a tall bouquet of lilies, and the chancel walls are to be solidly covered with flowers. ‘The wedding reception will begin at the Southern Hotel, where thirty rooms and the entire parlor floor have been in course of decoration the last two weeks. The re- eption suite has been draped entirely with hite silk, and will be studded with white vers. All the other rooms have beer hung in other colored silks. There will be two pink rooms, two yellow rooms, a Moor- ish room, a Turkish room, an oriental room, a Japanese rocm and so on. in the green room, on walis covered with Pea-green silk, there will be a drapery of green orchids and lilies of the valley. The heart wedding cake, on a heart-shaped ta- ble, will be the attraction. It will be dis- tributed among the guests in small heart- shaped boxes. The bride, who is very pret- ty, is to wear an empire gown of white satin, with a deep flounce of duchess lace around the hem and a pearl butterfly orna menting the corsage. The court train is of white brocade, lined with chiffon spangled with silver. The maid of honor will wear an empire gewn of Nile green brocade, covered with spangled chiffon. The six bridesmaids will wear white chiffon, spangled with gold; yellow silk stockings and gold cloth slip pers, and will carry yellow chrysanthe- mums. Two little boys will be groomsmen, two little girls will be flower bearers and a tiny niece and nephew of the bride will strew roses in her path a3 she walks to the altar. The floral display alone will cost $20,000, and $50,000 will be used in the prep- aration’ outside of the bride's trousseau, her gifts, etc: The bridal trip will be to Auanta, and efter spenaing the holidays in St. Louis the couple will sail January 7 for Eurepe and proceed to their home :n Hager, Westphelia. Mrs. Matthew P. Read has as her winier gusts her grandniece, Miss Etha Dahl- gren, and Lrcther, Mr. John Bernard Dahlgren. They are the grandchildren of the admiral by his first wife, and the chil- dren of Capt. C. B. Dahlgren, commander of the battalion of the west New Jersey naval reserve. The Short Story Club met at the Wimo- daughsis parlors Wednesday. The story of the evening, “Old Charles,” by Mrs. Rob- ert Head, was an entertaining character sketch. Five-minute essays on Blarney by Xrs. Barringer, Mr. C. H. Cherry and Mrs. Hort combined amusement with informa- tion as to tke origin of the far-famed Blarney ston>. Miss E. Ringgold gave an or:ginal poein, ‘“‘Was He Dreaming?” Mrs. Shehan read another poem, entitled “Pov- erty.” Songs and instrumental music com- pleted the program. Mrs. George B. Edwards is located for the winter at No. 254 Delaware avenue northcast, and will be at home on Mon- days. Mrs. Louise H. Patterson and daughter heve gone to Baltimore to remain until after the holidays. A pretty home wedding took place on Tuesday evening at 501 Stanton place. Miss Ethel Neale was married to Dr. C. Lydecker Demarest, both of this city. The bride's brother, Mr. Hamilton 8. Neale, gave her hand in marriage, and the maid of honor was the bride's sister, Miss Ellen Neale. The parlors and hall were beauti- fully decorated with palms and chrysanthe- mums, and promptly at 8 o'clock the soft strains cf the wedding march came from a distant room. The bride’s uncle, the Rev. James R. Craighill, entered from a side door, followed by the groom. The maid of honor then advanced, preceding the bride and her brother. The groom met the bride at the folding doors between the parlors, and conducted her to the minister, who performed the ceremony. The bay- window, where the bridal party stood, was banked with gigantic palms, and behind them lamps with colored shades cast a fairy-iike glow over the pretty scene. The bride was attired in white organdie over satin, and carried bride roses. The maid of honor was gowied in pink silk and car- ried pink roses. After the ceremony con- gratulations were extended by the many friends present, and followed by daiaty re- freshments. The presents were numerous and costly. At 9:30 Dr. and Mrs. Demarest left for the train, attended by the bride's brother and sister. The Cotillon will give their first german at the National Rifles’ Armory, Monday, December 23, when Mrs. Carlisle, Mrs. Hoke Smith, Mrs. Blanchard, Mrs. Swan- son, Mrs. Ramsay and Mrs. Uhl will act as chaperons. The series of germans given by the club last season are most pleasant- ly recalled by those who attended, and the efficient committee of which Mr. J. C. Sprigg, jr., is secretary, have perfected the arrangements for another pleasant series the coming season, Representative C. A. Swanson and wife have leased 1716 Q street for the winter. Mrs. Swaison will be at home on Tues- days. After the holidays Mrs. and Miss Lyons will be with Mrs. Swanson. Miss Wylie, daughter of Dr. Gill Wylie of New York, is now visiting Mrs. Swan- son. M H.
