MANY ~ ELEGANT ENTERTAINMENTS Receptions, Teas, Luncheons and Dinners Scheduled and Described. MENTION PERSONAL Gayest functions enliven today, which is almost wholly given over to affairs of young people. Several luncheons to girl friends, by buds and roses, as many teas, and the “Bachelors” in the evening, are all on the program. It is delightful to observe a sensible de- parture from the custom of luncheons for young people with drawn shades, candles veiled” by colored gauze or silk. Only on the dullest day is such a fashiongnow re- garded as appropriate. Sunshine floods the dining room this season, showing the su- perfine pink and whiteness of healthy com- plexions, the glints of honest gold in beau- ty’s tresses, warming bowls of roses and violets to wholesome fragrance, and dis- pelling all suspicion of theatric pretense. ‘This is no age of paint and patches, when a streak of sunlight across a youthful cheek may mean an unseemly revelation. “Till the coming of the crows’ feet, and the backward turn of beaux feet,’’ let pure daylight have its way, and drawn shades and tinted candle light be reserved for such as harvest reminiscence. Miss Texas Bates, daughter of Col. A. E. Bates, lately appointed military attache to London, entertained at a luncheon today. Pink and white tulips decorated the table, which was circled by a dozen pretty girls. Guests of the debutante hostess wer Miss Mabel McKiniey and Miss Barker, nieces of the President and Mrs. McKin- ley, and at present visiting the White House; Miss Gary, Miss Leech, Miss A..ce Rochester, Miss Siebert, Miss Palmer, Miss McKenna, Miss Cassels, Miss Irene Sheri- dan and Miss Kitty Reed.

The diplomatic dinner tomorrow night Promises to be unusually brilliant.. Sixty- two have already accepted; several more will probably be present. This forms so large a list that the dinner will have to be given in the main corridor of the Execu- tive Mansion, down stairs, the state dining room not being large enough to accommo- date this number.

They Are Upon Us and They Need ta Be Watched Very Carefui iy. Of all times, of all seasons of the year, this is the most dangerous. It is a time when the air is Sled with disease, when the wind wafts pneu- monia. The deaths from this one trouble alone are simply alarming and tm spite of all warnings they seem to be increasing. Pneumonia comes suddenly; it acte quickly; it far too often results fatally. It is all the more dangerous because it comes unannounced. A tickling tm the throat, a tightness of the chest and a dificulty tn breath- ing, an extreme feeling of languor, all may meau the beginning of pneumonia.
