ETIQUETTE OF INVITATIONS The past week has been a very busy one to the tea-going fraternity, which, after all, is the largest part of the sociably minded world. Debutantes have been a steady attraction, althougn numerous other rea- sons for holiday hcspitality have been in evidence. The evening receptions, particu- larly the coming-out parties, were especial- ly brilliant. Senator and Mrs. Murphy’s reception in hcenor of Miss Murphy’s de- but was a notable event and brought to- gether a con yany of social brilliancy and brains such as would be hard to reproduce in any other city than Washington. The occasion als> gave the acquaintances of the family a chance to greet Mrs. Hugh Grant, whose visits to this city have been but sel- dom since her marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Lambert's reception for Miss Lambert's jebut brought together many of the same friends the succeeding night, but naturally the gathering had a residential flavor of great interest. However opinion may vary of the architectural beauties of the new residence of Mr. Thomas Nelson Page, it 1s quite unanimous on the charms of the hos- pitality he and his wife exert within its hospitable walls. Their house warming on the last day of the year was a delightful event, and the splendid home, with its magnificent library, not only in point of ihe book treasures it contains, but its stately proportions, its wide hearth and cozy fur- nishings; the odd-shaped drawing room, and its spacious dining room, ail synony- mous of the hospitality of the fine old Vir- ginia home, of which it is a modernized copy. The opening up of a new home in Washington is no ordinary event and gives pleasure to hundreds, who may never hope to see the inside of it. The breaking up of Mrs. Horstman’s house party by the dread visitant, diphtheria, has been a much de- plored incident of the holiday season. If Mrs. Charles Nordhoff had any reason to doubt of the pleasure her present visit to Washington would give her old friends here, it was surely dissipated after the in- cidents of the first few days of her stay. She has been dined and feted to a degree which is unusual in these days and speaks well, not only for her own great popularity, but is equally pleasant to record of Wash- ington, which is too often referred to as a place where people are often too quickly forgotten. Mrs. Nordhoff, who spent the early part of her stay with Mrs. John W. Foster, has been with Mrs. Somers for the past ten days, and today will be given a tea by the latter. After a short stay in New York, Mrs. Nordhoff will return to her home in California, which both Mr. Nord- hoff and their family has so much enjoyed the past five years. The debutante next week will be Miss Rosalie Clifton Hill, daughter of Mrs. Hill and of the late Peter Hill, who will be in- troduced at a tea Tuesday, given by her mother at their home, 1841 16th street. The marriage of Mrs. Lay and Count von Goetzen will be a notable event Tuesday. The ceremony will be performed in the dainty tue French draw room of Mrs. Lay’s residence on Jetferson place, the limits of which naturally preclude’ any- thing more than the presence of very inti- mate frie Oniy the members of the German embassy and the bride's relatives will witness the marriage, and the rest of the guests huve been asked verbally to the breakfa Owing to the fact that it has only been within the last fortnight that the day has been determined upon, Count von Goetzen’'s sister could not make her arrangements to cross the ocean to be present at the ceremony, which will be followed immediately by the departure of the count and his bride for California, where a stay of several weeks will be made at Los Angeies. After an absence from this city of about six weeks, they will re- turn here for a short time, previous to sailing for Europe. Count von Goetzen is due in Berlin in March, when he will re- join his regiment, and where many brilliant hospiialities will be extended the couple. Among the events of the coming week will be: Tuesday—The marriage, at 1 o'clock, of Mrs. Lay and Count von Goetzen, which will be followed by a breakfast to intimate friends. Mrs. P. H. Hill and Miss Hill, a tea, 5 o'clock, when Miss Rosalie Clifton Hiil will make her debut. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Grayson Dulin, a reception, 9 p.m., at 1730 16th street. erga cotillion, at National Rifles’ Hall. Wednesday—Mrs. Charles E. Foster, 1017 16th street, a tea; 5 to 7. ‘The marriage of Miss Alice Hume and Rev. Thomas Worthington Cooke, Church of the Ascension, at § p.m. Thursday—Mexican minister and Mrs. Romero, a dinner in honor of the German ambassador. Friday—Mr. and Mrs. John B. Wight, a reception, 8:30, to meet Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Wight. It may not be out of place just now, at the beginning of the social season, to give some explanation of the rules of social eti- quette that have become established at the national capital by years of custom, par- ticularly with regard to cards of invitation. Newcomers frequently send invitations for social functions to old Washington resi- dexts when there has been no previous ex- change of calls between the ladies, and are then apt to charge the latter with discour- tcsy because a social acquaintance does not immediately follow. Residents at the capital regard cards of invitation from families upon whom they have not called as merely “complimentary,”’ usually sent be- cause of some association of the gentlemen of the housebolds in the outside world, and they consider such invitations sufficiently acknowledged by the sending of cards in return on the day of the entertainment to which they have been bidden. This course need not necessarily imply a per- sonal disinclination for the acquaintance thus offered, but merely reserves to the resident population the right of the initia- tive in a city where the social circle 1s con- tinually widening, where people of all sorts and conditions congregate, and where, therefore, some such self-protection be- comes a necessity. Mr. Jones and Mr. Smith find themselves pleasantly associated on some of the various “boards,” and imag- ine, poor, dear souls, that Mrs. Jones and M Smith will prove equally congenial. So, on the first occasion, Mr. Jones requests. his wife to extend her invitations to “Smith” and family. Mrs. Jones protests that this is contrary to social etiquette and good form, there having been no inter- change of calls between the ladfes. She is ov however, and the cards are sent. Mrs. Smith, recognizing the masculine hand, and finding it impossible’ to add to her visiting lst the names of all of her husband’s business friends, declines, by card, and the account is settled. “Smith,” if a wise man, acquiesces, realizing that in social matters he is but a babe in arms, as compared to his wife, and that her reason- ing is good, since he does net personally undertake to make the calls which an ac- ceptance would necessitate. He also knows that for the liquidation of such obligations: the “stag party” furnishes a blissful re- source, ppereraan by. sting of conscience mind grapple with finance and heaven help the community whose social life is engineered by the average: man, es- pecially in.a-city so unique as is the capital of the United States! ene ‘were the Vice President and Mrs. locbart and their guest, Mrs. Stanford; Chief Justice and Mrs. Fuller, Bishop and Mrs. Sutterlee, Dr. Mackay-Smith, Gen. and Mrs. Breckinridge, Mrs. SI and the Misses Sheridan, Mr. and Mrs. W.

W: nesday evening Mrs. Dulin gave a party of eight tables in her honor, and last night had a party of young people in to dance the old year out and the New Year in. The music rocm in the Dulin residence is on the third floor, and is a spacious and lofty apartment, where dancing is a joy. Tuesday evening Mr. and Mrs. Dulin will give a large reception in honor of their holiday guests. Miss Olive Estelle Bennett, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Harrison N.

Not a Patent Medicine, But a Safe Cure for all Forms of Indigestion. The results of recent investigation have esteb- lished, beyond question, the great value of the new preparation for indigestion and stomech tron- bles; It ia composed of the digestive acide, pepsin, bismuth, Golden Seal and similar stotarchics, pre- pared in the form of 20 grain lozenges, pleasant to the taste, convenient to carry when traveling, harmless to the most delicate stomach, and prob- ably the safest, most effectual cure yet discovered for indigestion, sour stomach, loss of appetite and flesh, nausea, sick headaches, palpitation of heart and the many symptoms arising from Imperfect di- gestion of food.
