The season is opening with a wider show of energy than was at first anticipated, the past week giving evi- dence that the disposition to make an early start was not lacking. While the events of the week have been confined to the dinner- giving circle, for want of a better name to describe those who contribute in this elegant way to the winter's diversion,never- theless the wheels of industry were started and*the pace of the season set. The new dishes have been tasted and the new gowns admired. With the fall in the sleeves and the lengthening of the train it Is next to impossible to make anything like an up-to- date appearance with last year’s finery which has not had a freshening touch in these particulars, or at least that part which shows above the table cloth at din- ner. The Anglo-American commissioners, or the high-jointers, as they are already face- tlously termed, have had no end of a good time all week, and are off teday on Sena- tor and Mrs. Faulkner's invitacion to their country home, at Martinsburg, W. Va., where modern hocpitalities dispensed with old-fashioned liberality will be their lot. Unless bad weather intervencs, wiuch may not extend to the West Virginia hills at ail, the occasion will be men >. Mon- day, unless Senator Faulkn excursicn gces over to that day, the Canadian vis- itors will go down to Mount Vernon, when a luncheon will be served on the boat. The Vice President and Mrs. Hobart will entertain in honor of the commissioners, having invitations out for a dinner and a reception. So many persons are anxious to pay their respects to Lady Laurier that it will be interesting information that she intends to receive every aft2rnoon after 5 o'clock at the Shoreham, excepting such days as special entertainments or excursions are planned for elsewhere. Mrs. John W. Foster will not receive Mon- day next, owing to the Mount Vernon ex- cursion, but will resume her Mondays at home thz following week. Mr. John W. Foster gave a dinner last night of thirty covers, when his colleagues on the Anglo-American commission had the pleasure of meeting a number of tin- guished officials and prominent residents of Washington, Th> company sat above a large table in the music room, the ‘v which are lined with the interesting nirs of the travels of Mr. and Mrs. in many lands.

It is of the greatest im- portance that the mother should ob- tain every atom of nourishment from her diet. This is insured if Johann Hoft’s Malt Extract is taken with meals and before retiring. It not only assists the proper assimilation of food, but is also a food in itself. Good appe- tite and sound, restful sleep follow its use. Dr. Albert Fricke of Philadelphia writes: “I have tried Johann Hoff’s Malt Extract not only on myself, but also on a great number of my pa- tients with marked success in cases of convalescence, impaired digestion, for mothers while nursing and in general debility, and have found it to be an excellent remedy for build- ing up the system.” Johann Hoff's Malt Extract gives erengdh: Avoid imitations.
