OTHER EWSY TOPICS The sociabilities of the coming week run largely to afternoon events, and very prop- erly, with a short opera season in pros- pective. The lucky few who are embar- rassed with invitations have had to decide between dinner engagements and bids to the opera, and naturally it has taken great mental resolution to accept the former when opportunities to enjoy the latter are so far between in this city. Vice President Hobart, Secretary Bliss, Senator McMillan, Senator Wetmore, Mr. Leiter, Mrs. War- der, Miss Gale, Mr. C. A. Williams, Repre- sentative Hitt, Representative Simpkins, Mr. John W. Henderson, Mr. George West- inghouse, Commander Richardson Clover, Commander Brownson, Mr. Henry Ma Mr. W. J. Boardman and Mrs. John Ward have taken boxes for the opera season. With the exception of the Vice President and the cabinet officers named, all will en- tertain parties every evening. The with- drawal of the cabinet families from social life since the departure of the President for his mother’s home in Canton has changed a great many plans. A number of entertain- ments, notably luncheons, had been ar- ranged for this‘month fn honor of several of the cabinet ladies and the wife of the Vict President, but in respect to the Presi- dent’s sorrow all acceptances have been withdrawn. Whether or not this indicates that the first part of the winter's program will be omitted at the White House, in case of the death of Mrs. McKinley, which now seems inevitable, is as yet a matter of doubt on the part of those best qualffied to judge. The consensus of opinion, however, is that the usual program will be carried out as indicated, and this view is strengthened by the fact that within the last few days the official notification of the receptions and dinners have been sent out to those who will later on receive formal invitations. The last days of the year are saddened by the bereavements which have come iv several of the more prominent resident famiiies. The death of Mr. Gardiner Hub- bard removes a kindly gentleman, whose name has become synonymous with all that was elevating and retining, as well as sug- gestive of hospitality in its most delightful phases. His death brings sadness to a large family circle and a host of friends who held him in the highest esteem. The death of Mr, Kavanaugh of the British em- bassy staff, a young man in the prime of life, is another reminder that the death angel spares neither young nor old, and more sympathy wil! be felt than can be expressed for his mother, who will land to- day from England, too late to see her son in life. A few frienda have gone to New York to meet the lady and escort her here. The present week has been a very busy ove. The teas are still turning out buds by the two and threes—one day there were four—and next week's list is just as full. Pretty hes to these winsome young mis: em easier to say than ever, and to those whose hearts never grow old or cold, when there is a young face to smile upon, it has never seemed a more charm- ing occupation than that of welcoming these lambs in the fold. ‘The debut parties have been delightfully monotonous in their usual details, plenty of flowers and smiling friends. There have been lots to eat, and this is a sensible revival, for whether you partake or not, a refreshment table, which has something else on it besides an em- broidered centerpiece, a bouquet, softly shaded tapers and an array of gleaming silver or pretty tee,gups,.is dn object that the world h not, grown tog ether] to properly admire between the hours of 4 and 7 every afternoon.~Ihere were a few changes from the ordinary noticed here and Some of the cards of invitations have not suggested a debut, and at the Leiter tea only their intimate friends knew it meant the debut of the youngest daugh- ter of the house, unless ‘the information gleaned from the public prints. Miss y Leiter also made the conventional white dress of the debutante conspicuous by its absence. She wore pink, and it was exceedingly becoming. Small dances by subscription are the features of the winter's program. In addi tion to the Monday evenings at Rausche: which are under the chaperonage Mrs. Barney, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. man, Mrs. Arnold Hague and others, for which the dates, December uary 10 have been selected, dances will also be given jay, December 23, January 14 and February 11, Mrs. Lodge, Mrs. Archibald Hopkins, Mrs. John G. Walker and M Ward being the patronesses.

Mr. Hubbard was born in Boston. His father, the late Samuel Hubbard, was for many years associate justice of the su- preme judiciary court of Massachusetts. Mr. Hubbard was related to a number of families illustrious in the history of New Englund, and descended from ancestors who could trace their lines far back into old England. He was born seventy-five years ago. In 1841 he graduated from Dartmouth College, and after studying law formed a partnership with Benjamin Kk. Curtis, and this business connection was continued until Mr. Curtis was appointed an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court. Mr. Hubbard made his home in Cam- bridge, Mass., and although for the past sixteen years he has lived in this clty he continued to be identified with the affairs of Cambridge, and was the owner of prop- erty there. While a resident of Cam- bridge he was the president of a company which built a horse railroad connecting that city with Boston, the first road of the kind in this country outside of New York. He was founder of the first school established in this country for teaching the deaf. In 1860 his daughter Mabel, who is now the wife of Prof. Alexander Graham Bell, lost her hearing through a severe illness. Mr. Hubbard at once became in- terested to know how to preserve her speech, and he was informed by recognized authorities on such questions that she would be dumb in three months and that nothing could be done to prevent it. This led him to make a thorough invest!- gation of all the existing methods of in- struction. He became satisfied that deat persons could be taught to speak, and gathering together half a dozen pupils he opened a school. He maintained this school for some years at his own expense, and appreciating the great importance of the work urged the subject upon the attention of the public and the state, and measures were adopted which resulted in the estab- lishment of the Clarke School at Northamp- ton, Mass. He was a member of the board of trustees of that institution at the time of his death. For nearly ten years Mr. Hubbard was a memb2r of the board of education of the state of Massachusetts and reore- sented that: stay 2s one of the commis- sioners at the centennial exposition of 1876 at Philadelphia. He was appointed by President Grant in 1876 chairman of, a special committee to investigate the question of railrosd mail transportation, and to the result of the labors of that commission is largely due -the present organization of the -tatlway mail service. While frequently offered important places in the government service, Mr. Hubbard kept out of politics. He was always a strong advocate of the government con- trol of telegraphs. and contributed largely to bringing that question before the public. For the past sixteen years he was a resi- dent of this city, and during the winter months occupied the fine residence on Connecticut avenue just south of Dupont Circle. During the spring and fall months he- made his home in his handsome coun- try resijence, known as Twin Oaks, on tke Woodley read. He was a man of good executive ability and was identified with many financial and other enterprises and crganizations in this city and elsewhere. He was a director of the American Bell Company and vice president of the Inter- national Bell Telephoae Company, and it was mainly through his business experi- ence and ability that the Bell telezhone, which was the invention of his son-in-law, Alexander Graham Bell, assumed the com- mercial importance which it now has. Perhaps tke principal work in a life filled with many snd useful achievements ‘Was done in connection with the est2blish. gment of the use of the telepltone in the commercial world.
