Christmas week has heen gay enough. There was a ball almost every night, and the gaieties of other, kinds were amply suf- ficient in number ‘And hovelty. Egg-nogs parties on Christmas were numerous, more so than ever before. Time was when it was considered rather poor taste to go out pleasure seeking on Christmas. It was thought to imply that something was lack- ing in the home enterfainment. But the fashions and customs change with each generation, and this one manages to get a good deal of interest in its every-day life by staying away from the family fireside sometimes. Monday night the Cotillion Club entertained its members and friends. Mrs. Carlisle received the guests, and a very pretty german was led by Mr. Frank Mar- tin. Tuesday the dance was at the Leiter mansion. Dance is rather a simple and de- luding Word to apply jo what was really a beautiful ball. Apropos of the night, the favors were hung on a Christmas. tree, which twinkled with many electric lights, and was a wonderful spectacle itself. Mr. Walter V. R. Berry led the cotillion with Miss Leiter, and about sixty couples danced. There were eight favor figures, and one, the boa, was thousht especially effective. Both men and maidens wore the boas, which were made cf tissue paper in many colors. Thurs- day Mrs. Hearst was hostess of a ball at which the Cornell boys weré the guests of honor, and the belles were as thick as peas in a pod. The floral decoration was simply superb, as it always is when Mrs. Hearst entertains. Last night Mrs. Draper con- tinued the series of dancing events, when about the same company which has passed the compliments of the season around so lavishly all week met again under the witchery of the mistletoe and holly, and danced and made merry all over again. Two buds bloomed fhis week—Miss Mar- jorie Nott, daughter of Judge and Mrs. Charles C. Nott, and Miss Hughes, daugh- ter of Admiral and Mrs. Hughes. They merged into the gay world of society and fashion amid the plaudits of friends and the sweet fragrance of flowers sent them. Mrs. Howard Ganson White's tea on Thursday was a delightful event, which re- called the many similar occasions when this hostess has so charmingly presided and entertained her friends. It only needed evening dress to merge the event into a regular ball. ‘There was a fine orchestra, a regular supper with all delicious accom- paniments, gorgeous flowers and all the details which go to make a success of a ball. Col. and Mrs. Fred Grant, who will be here tonight to make a short visit to Mrs. U. S. Grant, have had every hour of their stay pre-empted. Tomorrow night Senato: and Mrs, Elkins will give a dinner in their honor, Monday Mrs, Phil Sheridan will give a luncheon to Mrs. Fred Grant, that night Mrs, Grant has invited a company to meet them at dirner, Tuesday M rtoris will ve a luncheon for Mrs. Fred Grant, and that evening Dr. and M Mackay Smith will give them a dinner, In the social calendar for the coming week, among the nts now quoted are: For Monday—M homas G.

Wilson, wife of the Postmaster Gen- who cannot do so, owing to the illness Wm. H. Wilson, of typhoid fever. Mr. Wilson was taken fll a week since, and brought here from Charles- ton, W. Va., to be under the care of his mother. His illness has since developed into typhoid fever. Mrs. Hoke Smith, wife of the Secretary of the Interior, cannot de- cide until Tuesday whether or not she will celve. She is greatly exhausted after her ng Vigils with her little girl, whose illness has been so serious the past fortnight, and she may not feel equal to the strain. Hap- pily the little one is recovering nicely, but just at present wants her mother more than ever.

Miss Bessie and Miss Julia Lamont,daugh- ters of the Secretary of War and Mrs. La- mont, entertained their school friends yes- terday afternoon at one of the. prettiest parties which has. marked the Christmas tide. Fifty or sixty young misses and masters had og tt possession of the Lamont house fro 4 to 7, and during that time one of the ‘JollicSt of progress there. Both of the large parlors were cleared of rugs ‘and furniture, and alls was inj the broad balcony at the rear, inclosed with canvas, was furnished with rugs and cozy seats ‘and tables, which, with the lighted lamps there, made it a pretty ad- dition to the parlors. The walls were sprayed with southern smilax, caught with rosettes and long festoons of scarlet rib- bon, and over the doorways a drapery of green framed the gay scene transpiring in each room. In the dining room the table was daintily spread, from which was served all the afternoon ices and sweets of many kinds and devices. Mrs, Lamont and her two eldest daughters, Miss Bessie and Miss Julia, welcomed the youthful guests and presented them to their young friena, Miss Elsie Cochran, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William F. Cochran of New York, who arrived yesterday to make the girls’ a holiday visit. When the gayety was at its height Secretary Lamont came in and enjoyed the scene. A mandolin or- chestrad played the dance music, and every now and then the waltzes gave way to a regular frolic of a southern reel. Mrs. Philip Chapin entertained at a tea yesterday in honor of her sister, Mrs. Rates and Miss Rates of Worcester, Mass. Her house, always so beautifully adorned on festive occasions, was gay with Christ- mas greens. Red and green was the color scheme, and it dominated on the refresh- ment table, where every dainty was serve:l. Mrs. Chapin was gowned in black satin, the bodice having gold embroidered gauze and bands of sable in its elaborate trim- mings. Mrs. Bates wore dark green, with iridestent beaded lace and green silk in the bodice. Miss Bates wore light blue saun, «with spangled embroklery on the waist: The young ladies who assisted were Miss. @uthbert, Miss Lockett, Miss Bigelow, Miss Weodward and Miss May Keyworth- Barbour.

Southworth reached the end of her sev- enty-sixth year Although not strong, her health is as good as at any time during the past five years. The day was spent quietly with-her family and some intimate friends who called, bearing fruit and flowers. In this joyous holiday season, when so- cial entertainments are too numerous to keep irack.of and elegantly engraved In- vitations to various select gatherings are floating through the mails, it is curious to revert to the old times of even ante- Jeffersonian simplicity and observe the plain style in which the invitations for social affairs in high official circles were then given. Representative Acheson of Pennsylvania has among his interesting collection of old letters and papers an in- vitation addressed to his grandfather to dine with Presfdent Washington. It is written in a business hand on a plain sheet of old-fashioned paper, lengthwise across the fourth page thereof, and reads as fol- lows: Mr. Acheson Is requested to Dine with the President on Thursday, the 23d inst., at 4 o'clock precisely. Feby. 14th, 1797. Across the center of the first page of the sheet the invitation is addressed to David Acheson, esqr. At the time this was writ- ten President W: ashington was serving the last month of his second term. Mr. Ache- son was a leading merchant of Philadel- pnia, owning branch stores in several new towns beyond the Alleghanies and in the Mississippi valley. He was also a prom- inent member of the Pennsylvania legis- lature. It appears from this invitation that the hour for dining a century ago at the Ex- ecutive Mansion was somewhat carlier than at present. At that time, however, Philadeiphia was the seat of government, and probably the customs of the Quaker city were supreme. Mrs. Mabel Elizabeth Wright was mar- ried .to Count Bela Zichy at St. Stephen's Catholic Church, New York, on Thursday afternoon. Both are well known here. When she was Mrs. Fernando Yznaga, and after she had separated from her husband, gossip connected the name of the beauti- ful, American woman with that of the Hungarian count. The latter made no secret of his devotion, and after a while openly acknowledged that, so soon as Mrs. Yznaga could obtain a divorce, she would become the Countess Zichy. About the time Count Zichy first began to let his friends know what they might ex- pect, Mrs. Yznaga took up her residence in Yankton, 8. D., and as soon afterward as possible she filed an application for divorce. When the decree was granted and by de- cree of the court she became Mrs. Wright, she professed the Roman Catholic faith, but the chyrch would not sanction a sec- ond marriage until an investigation had been made into the previous marriage. The investigation, it is said, extended over several months, and she was married to Count Zichy with the sanction of the archbishop. ‘The bride and bridegroom drove up to the 2th street entrance to the church at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon. They had come from the Windsor Hotel, where Mrs. Wright has been living since she returned from Da- kota. In the church a half dozen friends were waiting for them, among them the father of the bride, George Curtis Wright, and John Leonhardi, the Austrian consul. The marriage was performed by the Rey. Father Charles H. Colton, pastor of the chureh. The bride wore a gown of gray peau Ge soie, trimmed with gray chiffon, a small gray hat with blue aigrettes, and white glace kid gloves. She carried a prayer book, Count Zichy wore a dark gray frock suit and gray gloves. The count and countess will remain in New York, it is sald, for about a week, when they will ‘sail for Italy. Their permanent home wili be in Buda Pesth. Before Archbishop Corrigan would sanc- tion the marriage, the defender of the mar- riage bond of the diocese, the Rev. Dr. John MeQuirk of St. Paul's Church in East 117th street, made a careful investigation of the former marriage of Couniess Zichy. He re- ported that, according to the canons of the Catholic Church, Mabel Elizabeth Wright and Fernando Yznaga were never married, for two reasons: First, because Yznaga was a divorced man when he married Miss Wright; and, second, because she had never been baptized, although Yznaga had. Con- sequently Mrs. Wright was at liberty to marry. Miss Helen Robinson, daughter of Con- . last evening twenty of her After greatly en- entertained friends at a box party. joying “Trilby” «ney returned to Miss Rob- inson’s home, 1708 Rhode Island avenue, where am elegant supper was served.

Two young colored men, both of whom, it was claimed, had discarded their female friends, were in Judge Miller's court yes- terday on charges of assault. One of them was James Morris, against whom complaint was made by Lizzie White. The young women told the judge that James had been ner particular friend and they were engaged to be married, but that he had lately changed his mind. She told the judge that she was sick several days ago and that medicine given her by James made her worse. She sent for a physician and when she took his medicine she~ became uncon- selous, ‘The charge against Morris was dismissed and he was released. Walter Holmes was the other defendant, out he did not fare so well. Laura Bullock complained against him. HAler story was similar to that told by the other woman, with the exception of the medicine.

Rosa Moody, alias Emily Myles, a young colored woman, was placed on trial before Judge Cole in Criminal Court No. 1 yester- day, charged with the larceny of a $200 piano from Music Dvaler Henry White. The woman paid $8.50 down at the time she purchased the instrument, and had it sent to a vacant house, the keys to which she had obtained upon a statement that she de sired to rent the house. From the house, it is claimed, she removed the piano, the Prosecution claiming that the young we- man obtained possession of the piano for the sole purpose of unlawfully transferring it to herself. Mr. T. L. Jones, counsel for the woman, moved at the conclusion of the testimony introduced by the prosesution, tnat a ver- dict of not guilty be directed by the court on the ground that the title to the piano, because of the part payment for it by her, was in her, but Judge Cole overruled the motion. The young woman testified that she pur- chased the piano in gooi faith, with no in- tention to misappropriate it. Several per- sons testified as to her previous good repu- tation, when the trial was adjourned until Monday next. ————— Brief Points of Business Law. Ignorance of the law excuses no one. The act of one partner binds all the others. A contract made on Sunday is void. A principal is liable for the acts of his agents. A contract with a minor cannot be en- forced. ‘The above and other complete informa- tion regarding business law, such as Notes, Checks, Deeds, Mortgages, Bills of Ex- change, Drafts, Acceptanges, Copartner- ships, Corporations, Constitutional and Criminal Law represent but an insignifi- cant feature of The Evening Star’s Alma- nae and Encyclopedia for 10, which con- tains 416 solidly printed pages of informa- Uon, Naticral, International and Local Sta- tistics, Records, etc. 25e. per copy.
