The writer, too, is enjoying a holiday this glorious Fourth, but remember that this shopping guide.was penned yesterday, when the main thought was to point te bargains for Monday that shall create business to make up for Saturday’s holiday. And it is so easy to tell you of what are |~~—~~~ easily the best bargains of the season,—of the lots that the just completed “‘stock- taking” unerringly points to. 323 BEST SHIRT WAISTS At : LESS THAN COST PRICES. Stock taking shows that we have 4,242 Best “Derby” Shirt Waists, of which 323 are “broken lots,”—lots of $1.48, $1.98, $2.25, $2.48 and $2.98 Waists lacking full complement of sizes or colors. This discovery means a little flood of bargains for you Monday. These 323 Waists are to go on first floor bargain tables in four grand lots at so much for choice:— Lot 1 Lot 2 49° | 68° | 98° Lot 3 it Lot 4 at q |g D === The previous contents of these bargain tables are to skip from one to another like this:-—The 68 lot goes to the 49c table, the 98e lot goes to the 68c table, the $1.39 lot goes to the 98c table—thus the old and the new bargains are made equally desirable to you.

The ompletion yesterday of “Stock taking” in this department shcws that the best-selling lots are lacking sizes in certain styles. By combining these many lots we are enabled to offer all sizes in one style or another. Lot 1 at 35° Short Skirts made of best French cambric, and Paris Style Drawers, Corset Covers and Chemises, trim- med with best of laces and embroid- ery. You'll see that 35 cents is less than cost of materials,—and could the garments be made better, be more stylish or better shape? Look for them on third floor bargain ta- bles. Lot 2 at 69° Think of only 69c for Paris Style “Empire” Gowns, made of French cambric, with trimming of dainty embroidery. And you'll find the em- broidery founce on these Umbrella Skirts measures 138 inches. See the Ribbon and Lace-trimmed Corset Covers and Drawers,—only 69 cents for choice. First floor for all these. Lot 3 at SI 33 Garments fit for brides,—they were made for brides, but a season’s business has created havoc with them. Some sets are minus a gar- ment, others show signs of handling, —but nothing can mar the filmy ma- terials, the delicate beauty of the lace, embroidery and ribbon trim- mings. You'll know $1.33 is less than cost. Scarcest and Best Dress Goods. Stocktaking shows the strong as well as the weak points of the various departments.

SOME OTHER GOSSIP The West End fs pretty nigh deserted of its familiar faces, but nevertheless, a few of the wealthiest as well as the socially prominent are still here and show no de- sire to leave this for any other summer rescrt. A promenade through any of the big down-town shops will be the means of discovering any fine morning shoals of one’s best friends, but any pretense of kceping up social diversion or amusement has long since been abandoned. The diplo- matic world has not entirely scattered, nor will not until the Secretary of State hies himself away for his summer outing. The families of the foreigners, however, are enjoying summer deiights at the various resorts along the Atlantic's shores,showing just as much indecision over which was the best place to go as any of the native fushionables. blessed indeed are those privileged souis who feel that the world is alweys centered where they may happen tc be and can therefore remain at home until late and make their vacation length- en out {n the autumn. For the comfort and pleasure of the thousands of visitors here next week, everybody hopes that the very ricest conditions in the way of weather will prevail, and the stay-at-homes will be tortified by another plausible argument for remaining. Secretary and Mrs. Carlisie and Secretary and Miss Herbert have spent their Fourth at home, while the rest of the cabinet fam- ilies are scattered north, south and west. Secretary Lamont is with bis family at Seabright, N. J. Mrs. Lemont has but re- cently returned here after the sad duty of assisting at the deathbed of her father, to whom she was devotedly attached. Mrs. John R. McLean as mistress of the White House would be intensely pleasing to Washington society. She is a most gracious and charming hostess, and nothing but the fact of her rather delicate health keeps her from being its foremost leader. She is devoted to young people, and is the pet of all the grades, from the real juvenile set to which her bright young son, Ed- ward Beale McLean, belongs to the debu- tante circle. She is fond of entertaining, and her dinners and balls are weekly events during every winter season. Mrs. Lester arnounces the marriage of her daughter Martha to Mr. Henry Ellinger Lineaweaver, Thursday, July 2 Mr. and Mrs, Lineaweaver wil be at home at Mc- Kee’s Rocks, Pa. Miss Mary Gwendaline Caldwell, well remembered here by her benefactions to the Catholic University and through her former residence in this city, ts now in Paris. She Spent the past five weeks in London before returning to her hotel on the Avenue des Champs-Elysees. Mrs. and Miss Dolph, wife and daughter of ex-Senator Dolph, who have been abroad since last autumn, are at present at Lu- cerne, Switzerland, but tntend passing the late summer in England. The marriage of Miss Etta Marie Clarke of Langley, Va., and Mr. David Aloyistus Cotter of Southwest Washington, was per- formed by Rev. Father Carrol of Balti- more, Md., May 23 last. The bride wore a becoming gown of black and white silk, handsomely trimmed with lace and ribnuns to match. She carried bride roses, together with long streamers of white ribbon. Miss Mary C. Cotter, sister of the groom, acted as bridesmaid. She was at- tired in a black and lavender silk gown, and carried a bouquet of La France roses, tled together with long streamers of luven- der silk ribbon. Three little tots, friends of the bride and groom, served as flower girls, and were attired in white dresses and slingers. Those present consisted mostly of the college classmates of the groom, six of whom served as ushers. After the cere- mony was performed the couple drove to the summer residence of the groom's sister, Mrs. Chas. H. Banagan, where an «labor- ate wedding breakfast was served in their honor. The presents were both numerous and costly. Gen. and Mrs. Miles and Miss Miles have been at Popham Beach, Me., but are now in New Hampshire. Newport has a pleasant sensation ahead and perhaps a wedding. Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Wilson arrived there yesterday. Mise Grace Wilson and R. T. Wilson, jr., re- mained in New Yerk. Mrs. Cornelius Van- derbilt came up from New York in the same train as the Wilsons, but it is said that Mrs. Vanderbilt and the Wilsons pre- ferred to admire different portions of the scenery on the way. The latest date for the wedding as set by the local gossips is three weeks from to- day in New York. Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbiit, jr., the report further goes, will then go to Newport, spend the season there, and go to Europe in the fall. Mrs. A. J. Woude has sufficiently recov- ered from her long illnesa to join her hus- band at Atlantic City, where she will re- main all summer. Miss Marie Young hes joined Mr. and Mrs. Warren @. Diliott in their private car and witl make en extended trip with them, and afterwards be a month at the seashore. Last Tuesday afternoon a pretty wedding took place at St. Aloysius Church. The contracting parties were Miss Nellie M. Kennelly and Mr. Peter J. McGrath. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Gillespie, assisted by the Rev. Father Dolan. The sanctuary was beautifully dec- orated with palms. The graceful young bride was attired in white silk trimmed with ribbons and lace. Her hat was of white chiffon, and she carried a shower bouquet of roses. Mr. Thos. P. Kennelly, brother of the bride, was best man. The Messrs. Collins, Burke and O’Brien were ushers. Aft reception held at the home of tne brid parents Mr. and Mrs. Mc- Grath left amid a shower of rice for a stay at Atlantic City. The bride was the re- cipient of many beautiful presents. A delightful party was given Wednesday evening by Miss Mamie Hartigan, 339 Lin- coln street, Anacostia, in honor of Rev. Fr. Chas. Riedel, now stationed in Peorla, Ind., and Mr. Ambrose Beavan of St. Mary’s Seminary, Maryland. The occasion gave pleasure to many acquaintances.

A very pretty wedding occurred Wednes- day. June 19, at the Church of the Im- maculate Conception, the contracting par- ties being Miss Edith Hutchison and Mr. Harry P. Tharp, Father Ryan officiating. The bride wore a very pretty costume of light gray silk trimmed with white satin and chiffon, and carried bride’s roses. Miss Susie McDonald of Capitol Hill presided at the organ, and rendered “Lohengrin” as the bride and groom approached the altar, and “Oh, Promise Me,” during the cere- mony. As the happy couple left the church Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March” was played. A surprise party was given to Mr. John Merkling at his residence, 721 H street ncrtheast, last Tuesday evening.
