THE WILCOX-HALSTEAD WEDDING DAY The Debutante List Grows Length and Interest. in RECENT EVENTS Many of those whose social movements are attended with corsiderable interest are as yet ursettled as to what part they will take in the winter campaign. The suggestive sign “For rent” adorns many notable homes and applies to many other houses whcse owners dislike to see the words faring them in the face while they continue to occupy them, awaiting the coming of a desirable tenant. In most instances the getting away from one’s home comes from the necessity either from health or financial reasons to seek new pastures. The Barneys have gone abroad for a lengthy speli, from neither of these causes, but from the pleasure they take in foreign life and Mrs. Barney's wish to work hard at her painting. Owing to rather poor health of the latter, Mr. and Mrs. Howlsnd will not return this season, unless for a very brief spell, so that the events to which society had grown accustomed under this hospitable roof, notably their Sunday night receptions, &c., will be miss- ing. The Frarklin Steeles have gone abroad fcr the winter and family be- reavements have closed other houses where people were wont to gather with great pleasure. The return of the Brice family to Corcoran House may be classed with the strong probabilities, and the convic- tion that they will mark the closing months of their residence there by the same lavish hospitality amounts to a certainty also. After the fall wgddings the debutantes are expected to engage popular attention during the last month of the year. The lst is as interesting as ever, and includes Miss Wilson, daughter of the Postmaster General; Miss Sartoris, daughter of Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris; Miss Baker, Miss Sands, Miss Ward, Miss Ffoulke, Miss Fox, granddaughter of Senator Stewart; Miss Gertrude Clagett and several others whose names are not as frequently repeated. Res- idential circles, as usual, have the greater number, and, from all accounts, each of these pretty young girls will make her maiden bow to society at a December tea. Another of the fall weddirgs to which society 's looking forward with particular interest is that of Miss Aline Wilcox and Mr. Albert Halstead. The event has been set for Tuesday, December 8, and the cere- mony will be solemnized at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Whittemore, New Hamp- shire avenue, that evening at 8 o'clock. The family have been in New York since returning from the Adirondacks, where they spent the summer. Mr. Whittemore has been in town for a few days, but wil: rejoin his wife and daughter in New York before the last of the week, and then short- ly return here for the season. Miss Wii- cox's wedding will be a beautiful event, as befits the nuptials of such a charming young iady; but it is tinged with one regret —her leaving Washington. Mr. Halstead is editor of the Springfield (Mass.) Union, and it will be in that city the young couple will make their home. The opening exercises of the new gym- nasium hall and dormitory of the News- boys and Children’s Ald Society, which have been fixed for next Tuesday evening, October 27, at 8 o'clock, will be made a social occasion, which will be a very at- tractive break in the quiet now reigning. Several hundred invitations have been sued. Interesting addresses by Justice Har- lan and Postmaster General Wilson have been promised, and Rev. Dr. Mackay-Smith, president of the society, will preside. The other trustees include T. S. Childs, D.D., vice president; H. B. F. Macfarland, secretar: . B. Wight, treasurer; E. M. Gallaudet, . D., Crosby 8. Noyes, Mrs. E. F. Kin, M. E. C. Wilbur and Miss Ida Corso: Mrs. T. S. Cullds is president of the ladies’ aid, and the vice presidents are Mrs. ‘Teller, Mrs. McCulloch, Mrs. Cunningham, Mrs. McLanahan, Mrs. Gallaudet, Mrs. Myers, Mrs. Hamlin, Mrs. Armes, Mrs. J. C. Breckinridge and Mrs. Mackay-Smith. On the executive committee are Mrs. W. Babson, Mrs. Charles G. Dulin, Mrs. G. Halpine, Mrs. T. B. Hood, Mrs. L. D. Merchant, Mrs. A. H. Thomas, Mrs. B. T. Tupper, Miss M. B. Ferry and Miss F. G. Childs, The Current Events Club met with Mrs. Eunice Rider, on Maple avenue, yesterday afternoon, Mrs. North presiding.

The sub- ject for the next meeting will be tornadoes and cyclones, with papers by Mrs. Rider and Miss Evalyn Doughty; reading, by Mrs. Simpson, from Emerson's “Margaret Ful- ler.” The next meeting will be at Mrs. Sarah Grant's. The hostess served refresh- ments, after which the club adjourned. Membership has been limited to thirty. Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Fenwick will be at 2131 L street for the winter.

The devastation wreaked by the recent storm extended over a vast area of the continent, and many startling stories have been told of the narrow escapes male by people who were exposed to its fury. But probably there was none so mi aus as that of a family of colored jc; living in the vicinity of Rockville, Maryland. They were four In number, and consisted of Dan Cook, his wife, Mary, a relative of the latter and a little boy. Thelr house was frame structure of a single story and about ten feet square. Directly to the south cf it grew an immense black oak tree. During the height of the storm this tres was twisted off and thrown down upon t house in which che four occupants we crouching. The accompanying cut shows the building after the tree had fallen. Sin- gular to relate, not a single one of the cc- cupants were injured.
