WEDDING LIST OF JONES LAST DAY Where the Cabinet Families Wil Find Recreation. OTHER SUMMER NEWS The weather has been just right for that section of the polite world which for various reasons are still in tow.. The wail from the seaside resorts has already been heard because of cool temperature and the frequent rains. The galeties are as yet of the most informal character at the ea, or on the mountain side, and nothing perticularly startling is expected till half of next month is past. In fact, this coun- try cannot settle down to anything until after the Chicago convention, and the two candidates on each ticket begin their sum- mering at the various resorts, where they are expected. If Mr. and Mrs. McKinley and Mr. and Mrs. Hobart manage to put In an appear- ance at any one of the numerous places to which, according to the veracious chron- iclers, they have always been in the habit of going and will, therefore, necessarily go again, the success of these favored spots is agsured. Hereabouts the month of roses and wed- dings has been exceedingly interesting. The nuptial events of Wednesday would make a readable string of romances if the person of the statistical turn of mind would not keep interfering with the number of yards of satin and tulle, ribbons and other garni- ture, which entered so largely into the out- side of these events The unexpected keeps on happening in the way of engagements, not all of which are given to the public, nor will they be, elther, until the very eve of the wedding announcement. There are,few large wed- dings booked for the next three months, but the autumn list will be of an important 7 Hanger, Keister, Ww. Keister, Mr. and Mrs. johnson, Mrs. R. Roberts Ella, Flora and Julia Roberts, Mrs. Popkins and daughter, Mrs. Pore and sister, Misses Lu and Rose, Misses L. and F. Galaher, Miss Mary Gambie, Miss E. Peters, Mr. C. Brant, Mr. H.

Mr. Rich. The bride is the daughter of the late Gas- ton D. Smith of New York and sister of Mr. Theodore Smith of this city. The bride wcre a gown of fawn-colored slik, brocaded in a light shade of heliotrope and elaborate- ly trimmed with lace. After a reception given only to the immediate relatives and friends of the family at the residence of Mr. Theodore Smith, the bridal couple left for Norfolk, from which place they sailed on Friday for Halifax by way of Boston.

There will be| Miss Marian Gawler is visiting friends tremendous disappointment in society if the marriage of Miss Louise Bonaparte and Count de Moltke should not take place here. So far no news has arrived of the date of tle ceremonious event, but the pYobabilities are strong that the fair bride, who is so much attached to her Washing- ton friends, would prefer their presence on such an auspicious occasion to even her titled acquaintances of the Faubourg 8t. Germaine, and there is no doubt but that as a spectacle the wedding will be well worth seeing. Excepting those of the cabinet families who have permanent summer abodes, there is very little plarned for the next three months in the way of outings. Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle, who are better used to Washington summers than almost any of the others, will have a visit next week from their son, Mr. Wm. K.

Some of Them That Need the Minis- trations of Women. Harriet Taylor Upton writes to The Even- ing Star: “In most states in this Union wo- men cannot be appointed trustees of public institutions, because such trustees must be electors. There have been men who kept house for themselves or had only men serv- ants in thelr bachelor. quarters, and yet nelther they nor their friends ever thought of these houses or flats as homes; men have kept house, but they never have made homes. Women are the home-makers and home-keepers. ‘This’ characteristic of wo- man ts just as important in the state as in the family. Men would think it a grave error if no one.but women served on the boerd of trustees of soldiers’ homes, if only women were physicians in and superintend- ents of such homes. The writer smiles as she imagines what a furor would be cre- ated if all public institutions should sud- denly be taken out of men's hands and put into women’s. No woman would want such a thing to happen. “The writer believes that all public in- stitutions, schools, libraries, lunatic asy- lums, soldiers’ homes, ete., should have women trustees, directors or whatever the term may be, fer such officers, but she is a little more radical than many women. However, she cannot see how any woman can cease from making efforts to have wo- men trustees on boards of all public insti- tutions where women and children live, Whether it is a lunatic asylum or a children’s home. A most pitiable sight is a number of motherless children, whose father alone is trying to plan for their future. Yet just such a man, who knows that some women must help him out with his family cares, does not seem to think that the principle applies as well to the stat “In many states women have besis legislatures until boards of visitors hava been appointed. These boards, however, have neither responsibility nor authority. They visit the institutions when they are expected, and must report or make sug- gestions in writing to the trustees. The trustees need take no notice of such re- port. They occupy about such a position as a formal caller would to the motherless family above mentioned. Such a caller might be sympathetic and interested, but her help would be of little value because of the relation she bore to the family. ‘The writer doubts if a board of visitors does any good except to accustom men to see- ing women about such institutions and to accustom women to serve on such boards. ‘The time is surely coming when wo- men and men will serve together as trus- tees: then will all the details of the home be understood by all the members of the board. Then will woman's tenderness, her rother-heart be felt, then will many un- fortunate women and children be happier and healthier. Then will the state find that the small economies which women practice in the home will be practiced in the state.” THE PAPER MUST PLEAD. Overruled in a Case Judge Bradley today overruled the de- murrer filed by the defendant in the suit for $20,000 damages instituted by Arthur Carr against the Washington Times Com- pany, giving the defendant company twen- ty days in which to pleed.
