Ovr business hours until further notice are 8:15 to 5:30 ——o-— We're Doing Our Best |itess Than Cost every day to make this store so good that it will be indispensable to you. Thestandard we’re working to is high enough to lift the business from the hum- drum; to make it as pleasant to us in the planning as it is to you in the enjoyment. We want this store to be the most helpful place you can visit. Our January | Sales Have always attracted widespread attention, and are looked forward to with general interest because of the certainty of all who know us that what we offer in the different lines will be the very best that can be pro- cured, and at the least prices that ovr money and knowledge of the mar- kets can secure. We reached out farther and went deeper into the manufacturing world for whatever was good for your use, and we are better satisfied with the result than ever before. Intelligent comparison of goods and prices is always welcomed. Our Great January Sale of Housekeeping Supplies Includes Table, Bed and Toilet Linens, Blankets, Quilts, Sheets, Pillow and Bolster Slips, Muslin and Linen Sheetings, etc. Wondrously welcome to housekeepers are these annual sales, teem- ing as they are with the rarest values in reliable and wantable goods. This will overshadow former sales, as we have bent every energy and ef- fort to its accomplishment. All branches of the Linen Department are filled with the brightest, newest and best that the markets of Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Austria and Belgium afford. Patterns and quali- ties are here that cannot be found elsewhere, because imported direct and controlled by us. And being importers we sell at prices we would have to pay if we did not know where goods were made and how to buy them. A special feature of this season’s importation is a complete line of extra sized cloths (round, square and oblong), for bariquets, recep- tions, dinner parties, etc. Of these we are showing some very choice specimens. The following will be ready for Monday’s selling: * 430 Dozen Hemmed Huck Towels At $1.15, $1.35 and $1.50 per dozen, Which prices are about a_ third less than the usual. 600 Ready-to-Use Muslin Sheets, Good cloth—torn from the piece, not cut, as follows: Improved Lamb’s Wool Batting, for Comforts.

The weddings were | Wtf Among those in the party were Mrs. Duncan Richmond, M s numerous, und surrounded by many joyful | Emily and Daisy Blankfard, Miss Jackson, circumstances. Dinners and luncheons brought together many distinguished com- panies. The state dinner in honor of the cabinet was an exceedingly pleasant event and gave many Washington friends a chance to greet Mr. and Mrs. Fairchild, Mrs. Dickinson, Mr..and Mrs. Bissell, all of whom are pleasantly remembered, and who are remaining in town for a few days. Mrs. Manning would also have been present but for a bereavement in her fam- ily circle, which has caused her to post- pone her visit pere. The Stewart ball was of the regular old- fashioned sort, with plenty of room for everybody, although the company was probably the largest of the winter. Sup- per was served all night, so that there was none of the rush and crush too frequently associated with this necessity. The gowns were of the freshest and richest, and the diamond display most elaborate. Miss Bes- sie Fox, the charming debutante of the occasion, can date back her first bow to society, to an event which deservedly will rank among the most brilliant of the win- ter. Looking forward, the coming week has an cpera season, a diplomatic levee at the White House, a Cotillion Club evening and several large evening receptions on the cards. Opera ai $6 a seat is a luxury, but society has expressed its willingness to in- dvlge in it and full dress. For the opera, it is not a question of big hats or little ones, either. No hais are the proper thing, that all may enjoy the music without a single aggravating thought, such as any head covering is sure to create. Secretary Lamont and other officials, to whom the Ycilowstone Park comes under sp2cial direction are greatly interested in the lecture which will be given February 5 by Mr. Steddard on this great American wonderland. Invitations will be extended to the cabinet, the diplomatic corps and the official world generally for the event, and will be out in a few days. Mr. Stod- dard’s idea in giving this lecture especial- ly for this audience is to illustrate to those who have been interested in the legislation which supports this national park, its wonders and its beauties, which com- paratively but few people in this country know anything about by actual inspec- tion. Mr. and Mrs. Westinghouse welcomed their friends yesterday to a feast of roses and good things. The sumptuous enter- taining with which thelr names are asso- ciated here was again magnificently ex- pressed. The attendance was large, and good friends pushed and jostled each other; but Washington loves crowded houses, and all went home knowing they had assisted at one of the greatest events of the season. Mrs. Westinghouse loves flowers, and her house was gorgeous with them. American Beauty roses and orchids were as plenty as daisies in a June field, and every one of the blossoms gave pleasure. In the dining room every ‘material want as far as the gratification of the palate was concerned was supplied. All the seasonable dainties in hot and cold dishes, ices and sweets, and arranged in the most novel and tempt- ing forms, made.a beautiful spread, with which champagne was freely served. Th host and hostess who gave all this pleasure to their friends were assisted by a number of debutantes—Miss Sartoris, Miss Maud Gorham, Miss Sowers, Miss Houston, with Mrs. Charles Gibson, Mrs. Thos. Wilson, Mrs. John W. Foster, Mrs. Shiras, Mrs. Logan and Mrs. Condit-Smith. Each of the assistants carried a bouquet of Amer- ican Beauty roses, presented by the hostess. The Secretery of War and Mrs. Lamont gave a dinner last night in honor of ex- Postmaster General Bissell and Mrs. Bis- sell. The other guests were: Attorney General and Mrs. Harmon, Jvstice and Mrs. White, General and Mrs. Wheaton, Rev. Dr. and Mrs. McKim, Mrs. Don Dick- inson, Assistant Secretary Curtis, Miss Hamlin, Assistant Postmaster General Jenes and Mr. and Mrs. Thurber.
