We haven’t had an event for many a day that’s so interesting to men as the sale of those “aw- fully swell” shoes we bought from the upper Broadway con- cern in New York city, whose scheme “fell through” really be- fore the “opening day.” It was a “feather in our cap” to secure them, for they were made on the popular “college” and “English” shapes which are so much worn this season. Patent leather, enamel calf, box calf (needs no blacking), tan and wine colors. $3.48 instead of $5. Would go at $5 as well. For those who want them we've received our Hne of Men's High-cut Lace Gunning, Hurting and Surveying Boots. Waterprood —or as near as it is possible to get them. We cannot help speaking of the ladies’ high-grade shoes we got which were being made up for Hilton, Hughes & Co. of New York for their “tony” trade. Absolutely the most stylish shoes ever made—some for walking, some for ridin, school and college wear, bi- cycling, golfing ard skating. We bought the whole order much under price, That's why they're $3 to $5 instead of $5 to $8, as they would have been sold by H., H. & Co.

Straw Rides and Supper Parties—Ar- rivals and Departures—Per- sonal Notes. The ceremony which united ex-Secretary William C. Whitney and Mrs. Edith May Randolph at the Church of St. Saveur’s, Bar Harbor, Me., is a subject of great in- terest In this city, where both are so well known. Few public men have approached Mr. Whitrey in local popularity here, while the very mention of his home and his first wife recalls a period of such delightful and elegant hospitality the like of which the capital had never known before and which has been seldom attempted since. Mr. Whitney has been a widower since February 5, 1893. His attentions to any lady since stazted at once rumors of ais matrimonial intenticns, but last spring the news of his engagement to Mrs. Randolph first gained credence. Notwithstanding the denials it generally understood that the rumor was true, and so the inti- mate circle of friends here, especially from among the Bar Harbor contingent, were not entirely surprised by the announce- ment of the contemplated weddi today. Mrs. Randolpi is a daughter of the late Dr. May of this city. The latter died only a few years ago. Mrs. Randolph spent her girlhood in New York city, where the ded, and with her younger sister, who was first engaged to marry James Gordon Bennett, and after- ward became Mrs. William Wright, were belles in society. Mrs. Randolph is a hand- some woman, as she was a beautiful girl. Her husband, now ten years dead, was Capt. Arthur Randolph. of East Court, Wiltshire, England. She lived abroad dur- ing her husband's lifetime, and since that period in New York city, so that she is less known to Washington society than her sisters, Mrs. Carrie May Wright, Mrs. J. Beavor Webb and Miss May. Dr. Willlam May of this city and Mr. Fred May are her brothers. Mrs. May, sr., lives in this city during the winter and in Bar Harbor in summer, where Mrs. Randolph has also a summer home. Mr. Whitney's bride is @ brilliantly hand- some brunette, and is known socially as @ woman with all the ability of a leader. She 1s devoted to music. Her charitable work has been in the line of help to the poorer class of shop girls. The ex-Sec- retary’s mansion in New York is on 57th street, around which the homes of so many millionaires are clustered. The early days of their hcneymoon will be spent elther in Bar Harbor or its vicinity, or at Lenox, where Mr. Harry Payne Whitney and bis bride stayed several weeks after their murriage. Mrs. George R. Byington of Norwalk, Conn., ts visiting her mother and sisters, Mrs. Morrison and Mrs. R. T. Moses, at 1451 W street. Mr. Richard Tasker Lowndes, son of Gov. L ndes of Maryland, and Miss Mary Elizabeth McDowell, daughter of Mrs. Mate McDowell of Danville, Ky., will be married October 22. The governor and family will go on to attend the event. Lloyd Lowndes, jr., the twin brother of the groom, will be best man. Miss Eliza- beth Lowndes, sister of the groom, Miss Louise Lowndes Roman, Charles T. Lowndes, W. Bladen Lowndes, J. Philip Roman of Cumberland and Van Lear Black of Baltimore are among the at- tendants, of which there will be twenty. Mrs, Frances H. Baden, accompanied by her daughter, Mrs. Marvin A. Custis, and Miss Gaffney, left last Thursday to make the sea trip’ from Baltimore to Boston. They will visit various parts of the north, returning the latter part of October. Miss Veazie has gone to visit her friend, Mrs. Calvin R. Nutt, at Prospect Hall, Frederick, Md. The Misses Lizzie and Jennie Steigerwald of Baltimore are the guests of Mrs. A. D. Prince, 935 K street. At home Friday from 4 to 6. Mrs, R. Exner of 472 O street left Sunday for New York to visit relatives. Dr. and Mrs. John P. Caulfield have taken apartments at 1327 M street. The former has just returned from a two months’ trip abroad, A straw ride was given to the residence of Mr. John Q. Larman near Lewinsville, Va. last evening, in honor of the birthday of his daughter, Miss Mamie Larman. A repast was in waiting, after which music and dancing were enjoyed. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Plitt, Miss Plitt, Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Coumbe, Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Nichols, Dr. 0. H. Coumbe and wife, Mrs. Pinkie Janney, Miss Ella Thomas, Miss Margaret Kulp of Frederick, Miss Phoenie Lipscomb, Dr. E. H. Coumbe, Mr. and Mrs. John R. Galloway, Mr. and Mrs. Brunienger, Miss Maggie Buckley, Miss Birtie Reese, Frank Downing, Miss Maggie O'Brian and Miss Cook, and Messrs. Vose, Henry Walton, William Helmus, Frank Downing and Wilitam Coumbe. Last Friday night, after the perform- ance of ‘The American Girl” at the Grand Opera House, Mrs. W. T. Johnson of 14th and I streets, and her daughter, Abbe, who 1s a member of the company and a Wash- ington girl, gave a supper in honor of the leading lady, Miss Ida Bell. Miss 8. L. Ratcliffe has returned from New York. Mrs. B. W. Gheen of 1101 9th street has returned from an extended trip through the mountains of Pennsylvania. Senator and Mrs. Jno. M. Palmer, before leaving for the west today, had luncheon with friends at the Elsmere, where they live each winter. With them were the Senator's son, Louis Palmer, Mr. and Mrs. Crabbe and Miss Crabbe. Mrs. Walter A. Johnston of 1907 13th street northwest will not be at home tomor- row, but will resume her Wednesdays after October 7. ee TO RECOVER THE Bopy. Frederick Lenz Still Under Wrecked Building. The Commissioners have authorized the expenditure of a portion of the emergency fund to prosecute the search for the body of Frederick Lenz, who lies buried beneath a mass of bricks and timbers at known as 3108 M street northwe aster yesterday aft on that it was feared that the body of one man lay beneath the ruins. This belief was strengthened teday, and later develo; proved conc! y that the unfortu man had been caught in the falling walls The police were instructed to allow no one te enter the building, in view of the totter- ing condition of the remaining walls, the friends of Lenz were unable to ge and the body. This morning Mr. M Mitch- ell, the owner of the building, with Mr. J. E. Libbey, applied to Commissioner Ross for assistance. The condition of affairs was explained to the Commissioner, who was asked to lend the aid of the District in getting out the unfortunate man. Com- missioner Ross prompily replied that he would allow an expenditure from the rgency fund. He notified the building inspector to strengthen the walls that re- mained standing, and as soon this was done a force of men wou! ork to take out the debris and recover the body. — Mystic Shriners Will Go to Baltimore.
