' : THE NOPTIAL EVENTS OF NEXT WEER One of the Announcements Will ‘ Be a Surprise. OTHER TIMELY ies TOPICS ‘The weddings and debut parties that will take up social attention during December will distract the public mind sufficiently, so that any imaginary lapses on the part of the cabinet families and their hospitali- ties will pass unnoticed. In an official way the early season will be a calm, unbroken stretch, and will afford an excellent op- pertunity for those who feel themselves under pleasant obligations to cabinet and cther official households to entertain them to their heart's content. Notwithstanding any or all statements to the contrary, the last winter of this administration will not be dull or uneventful. All the preordained and regulated functions will be carried out in more than customary elegance, and this spirit, whose first evidence will be shown at the White House. New Year's morning, will actuate all those who come nearest its influences. In other words, it can be bricfly stated that President and Mrs. Cleveiand are most desirous that the last months of their residence in the Executive Mansion should be characterized by the same inter- est in social matters as they have dit played all through the past four years. All the cabinet houses will be open during the season for the customary public recep- tions and such other hospitalities as occupants are in the habit of exerting. The cabinet ladies who are first of all practical helpmates are highly amused over the statements which they have seen in print very often lately, and which they ap- preciate, however, in the kindly way it is meani, thar they will be in no hurry to leave Washington, and as means to thai end fave extended their leases on their residences. In fact, every cabinet house can be rented on or about the 4th of March next, and their present occupants will be only tov glad to get them off their hands, for only a few look forward to a future residence in this city. This applies just as well to the few who own their homes as to the others who occupy rented houses. As most of these leases have several months longer to run, the probabilities are against many departures from town until the usual summer changes are made, so that the presert cabinet women will be on hand to see the initial movements of their succes- sors in the same realm, an experience which some of them will enjoy ard others will not. Reverses in fortune may have something to do with the recent manifestations by society men and women of the necessity of making one's own living or at least that cne need not necessarily lose caste by showing en ability to do so. Projects of this kind in New York city are looked upon with such favor that of the many of the social elect who have gone into trade, there are few failures to report. One of the latest ventures has been the establishment of tea rocms by two well- known society women, who have each a large following of friends, who may be relied upon to give the place a fashion- able prestige, and curiosity seekers will do the rest. The rooms will not be entirely given up to the making and pouring of tea, but other essentials to human comfort while exchanging current gossip with the feminine and masculine droppers-in are also to be enjoyed. The success of similar enterprises in London and Paris, the lat- ter especially, where 5 o'clock tea and its surroundings are not yet looked upon as an absolute necessity, has, of course, been the determining factor in these New York foundations. In Paris the best part of the arrangements in these tea rooms is the fact that the tea is prepared by girls who wear the usual uniform of an English house maid and, best of all, speak English. Ameri- cans, who are the most frequent customers, are perfectly willing to pay a couple of francs for a cup of tea and several tiny bread wafers masquerading under the name of sandwiches for the pleasure of nearing their own language. The roses and violets which will be sold at this es- tablishment have a society fragrance also, as they are raised by other good women, who are using their experience gained in getting up the social ladder in finding cus- tomers for their flowers. No such bold strokes In a business way are attempted in this city by those who feel a noticeable decrease in their incomes The Washington way is to rent your biz house, if you have one, and get into nar- rower quarters somewhere else, and gen- erally out of town, or, if you must Stay, sublet your home or take a few boarders for “compeny.” ‘The struggle for existence under thesc condition, and the subterfuges resorted to in wirom the world, these changes are, accoyw-ag to the way you look at it, the most l@dicrous or the most pain- ful features of every day life. Two daugh- ters of a former dean of the diplomatic corps are the teachers of’a dancing school in New York, while their mother runs most successfully, It is said, d training school for house servants. Every one honors the spirit which underlies thetr determination to support themselves, and every sensible person who has tasted their hospitality in former years feels a personal interest in their success. Another lady here who en- jcyed at one time a pleasant prominence in the diplomatic circle is engaged in the Washington industry of “renting rooms,” and will no doubt be as successful in that as she was in filling her drawing reoms a few years back. The marriage of Miss Margaret Teel, Gaughter of Mr: and Mrs. W. S. Teel, to Mr. Frederick Gray, which will be solemn- ized next* Tuesday at high noon at St. John's Church, will be the leading nuptial €vent of the early part of the week. The bride, who is a particulariy charming girl, has hosts of friends, and a pleasant feature of the wedding is that the young couple will reside here instead of making the cere- mony, es it has so frequently happened lately, a preliminary to a good-bye to Washington. Miss Teel will have her sis- ter, Miss Blanche Teel, as maid of honor, and four bridesmaids—Miss Kauffmann, Miss Gray, Miss Davis and Miss Beveridge. These young ladies are to wear white satin gowns and large picture hats of black vw vet and piumes. The formed by the groom’s brother, Rev Charles Gray, agrsisted by the rector of St. John’s, Rev. Robert Wood. The best man will be Mr. W. S. Teel, jr., and the ushers will be Mr. Goerge A. C. Christtancy, Mr. Charles Howe, Mr. Mor- timer-H. Atchison and Mr. McCalmont W’ scn. The wedding breakfast, which wil! follow _at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Teel, 1765 R street, will be attended only by the bridal party and relatives. Befcre the expiration of another week so- ciety will witness the culmination of an- other of its charming romances in a nup- tial event to which only a family party and a few intimate friends have been bid- den. The acquaintance which precedes this ceremony has extended over a long period, and that the fair lady has given her consent after so many years of persistent wooing only adds more strength to the old adage of “Faint heart, &c.” The lady in question is 2 daughter of a former United States Senator and minister to a foreign court, and is fitted by natural gifts as well as education and travel to adorn any posi- tion however lofty. The happy man is a New Yorker and a man of wealth and po- sition. Washington, however, is more in- terested in the bride-elect, who is Miss Mary Pendleton, and the wedding day, Sat- urday, November 21. Miss Pendleton has a cozy home on M street, adjoining that of her sister, Mrs. Arthur Brice, and it will be pleasant additional infcrmation if it transpires that the couple will live in this city after their wedding journey. Secretary of the Interior Francis is still at the Arlington. Mrs. Francis has een in St. Louis for several weeks past and may remain for some time longer there. Mrs. Edward Ledeliey and her daughter, Mrs. Roxtun of Brooklyn, have spent the past week visiting Mr. and Mrs. John F. Henry at 1536 Kingman place.

Yesterday afternoon there was a serious runaway accident at Takoma, in which Mrs. Jamex R. King, who resides on Grant ave- nue, was painfully injured. She was driv- ing along Carrol! avenue, when her horse became frightened. The noise made by an approaching train caused the fright, and the horse ran beneath the gates, which were being lowered. Soon after crossing the tracks the vehicle upset, and Mrs. King was thrown vioiently to the ground. While her injuries are painful, they are not re- garded as serious. Mrs. King was assisted home by friends, and the demolished buggy was sent to the shop. FREE AND UNLIMITED. Resolutions Passed by the Central Democratic Committee.
