It \HOW ALL GIVES WAY 10 7 THE SOCIAL WORLD |'Plea ant Events of Vanity Fair! Foreshadowed. POLITICS Comings and Goings of Interesting : People. COMING WEDDINGS The passing and repassing of fashionable equipages on the uptown streets marks the presence In town of many of those Whose social movements are interesting to others.. During the calling hours these evidences are particularly numerous. The diplomatic corps, which is so punctilious, is busy exchanging calls, and in many cases getting acquainted. The newcomers in that body sre receiving the mest pleasant of welcomes, and the rest are cementing friendships by many courtesies. The sea- sen for entertaining by formal events has not commenced, but dinners, more or less informal, are by no mcans infrequent, and perhaps for that reason much greater in erjoyment. Mrs. Bugher, who has been entertaining Mrs. Henry T. Chittenden of Cclumbus, gave a dinner in her honor Wea- resday, when -a company of young people who have not faced each other around the festal board since last season, exchanged summer experiences. The past week has been quite the banner week of the month in the matrimonial line. The quantity of waite satin and tulle gracefully displayed before an admiring public was enormous, and if good wisies will bring future happiness they were as abundent. Tnere will be a bit of a lull in the string of similar attractions until to- ward the middle or latter part of Novem- ber. The December list is likely to be more remarkable for quality than quantity, whica degree of excellence is always most import ant to the reading public. It will be a very conceited individual in- deed who could hope by any personal mat- ter to divide interest ever so little with political events the next three or four days. The social program is absolutely free from engagements and will remain so till the winner in the great game 1s known. That womankind is more interested than ever in the political battle is manifest. The spe- cial wire by which returns will be received at the Washington Club is an indication. Lecturers on current events have had en- thusiastic listeners among women lately where political topics, especially with firan- clal bearings, have been discussed. The marriage of Miss Bonaparte and Count de Moltke will be solemnized at St. Paul's Church, December 10, as already an- nouncea in these columns, and Cardinal ; Gatsbons will officiate. Mrs. Bonaparte has not been very well since returning here, and has been out but seldom. Mr. and Mrs. Barnes Compton have is- sued cards for the marriage of their daugh- Mr. Harold Baxter Rees. The ceremony Will take place November 12, at noon, at St. ‘John’s Church. ».Gapt. Reeder of the navy, after three years’ sea service, and family are now “pleasantly located at the navy yard.
