RECENT BUDS, BELLES AND BRIDES The Marriage of Miss Hayes and Mr. McClure Today. OTHER HOSPITABLE EVENTS The activity which has been so noticeable since the first day of this month will only slow down a little the coming week, for there is within it a reception at the British embassy in honor of the joint high com- mission for Monday night, the promenade concert at the Corcoran Gallery of Art Wednesday night, quite a number of teas, debut and otherwise, and a juvenile ball at Mrs. Richardson Clover's splendid home for Saturday next. The departure of the President and Mrs. McKinley, and several members of the cabinet and their wives and daughters for their southern trip, will leave the capital without this important part of ofticialdom for a week, as that period will be occupied with the trip. The guests at the British embassy Monday night will have the pleasure of greeting Mr. and Mrs. Almeric Hugh Paget, the .atter formerly Miss Pauline Whitney, four happy years of whose girlhood was spent in this city or who at least looked to Washington as her home while away at school. As Mrs. Paget sne is one of the most admired of the young matrons in New York and Bar Harbor society. The British ambassador and Lady Pauncefote wili give a dinner in honor of Mr, and ugurs. Paget, who are their guests, tonight. The reception to the Anglo-American joint high commission at the Corcoran Gallery of Ari on Wednesday evening next will un- doubtedly be a notable affair, as the spac- ious and brilliantly-lighted rooms will af- ferd an exceptional opportunity for the dis- play of handsome costumes, and the charm of the occasion will be heightened by choice musical selections rendered by the Marine Band and probably another orchestral or- ganization alternating with it. As the invi- tations have been issued under the auspices of the Department of State, the affair will partake somewhat of the nature of an offi- cial function, where only those receiving cards are expected, and it is understood Hees full dress will be the order of the even- ing. The debut teas next week will include several very interesting occasions. Mrs. Faulkner will present her stepdaughter, Miss Sallie Faulkner, Thursday; Mrs. B. H. Warner, her stepdaughter Wednesday, and Mrs. Greenlees, her daughter on Friday next. Other teas next week will be given by Mrs. Logan, in Rev. and Mrs. Frank Bristol's honor, and the Misses Mor: both on the same date, Wednesday. Social events today include a luncheon by Miss Cushing in honor of her guest, Miss Worthington of New York. This after- noon Miss Early will make her debut at a tea, and tonight there will be dinners at the British embassy and at the Chinese legation. Mrs. Sergeant will hold the first of her receptions this evening. Mrs. Sargent, Lafayette square, will give three Saturday receptions this month, the first this evening, and on the 17th and Zist. The Vice President and Mrs. Hobart, Rev. Dr. and Mrs. McKim and Mrs. Horstman will give dinners on the 15th. Mr. and Mrs. Gallaudet have dinner in- vitations out for the 224. Senator and Mrs. McMillan will give a dinner Tuesday, December 13. Assistant Postmaster General and Mrs. Heath have dinner invitations out for the 20th, The marriage of Miss Delia Brodhead Gardiner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. Clinton Gardiner, and Dr. Edward Bronson Fineh of New York will take place Wed- nesday afternoon next at St. Mark's Pro- Cathedral. Rev. Dr. P. Voorhees Finch of Greenfield, Mass., father of the groom, will officiate. assisted by Rev. Mr. Devries, rec- tor of St. Mark's, Some recent features of English high life weddings will suggest fanciful touches to those contemplating these arrangements, mauve and the bride's traveling dress was At one wedding everybody wore the flower. At another rather than repeat this plan the pages and bridesmaids wore white and mauve and the bride’e traveling dress was of Parma violet cloth. At another the bride had two smail attendants in the per- sons of her niece and nephew dressed in blue velvet, trimmed with gre The boy Wore a waistcoat of white sutin and the little girl @ big picture hat. Colonel and Mrs. John Lindsey Moore- head of North Carolina have leased the Curry house on M strect and are settled there for the winter. The weddings of the week were largely attended and most interesting from a wo- man's point of view, but were tinged with regret in the fact that both the Wear day and Thursday weddings meant the loss to Washington of two charming young women, now Mrs. Robert Treat Paine, jr., and Mrs. Morton Grinnell, one expecting to make her future home in Boston and the other in New York. Both weddings brought eligible men to town, enough of itself to cause a flutter among the girls. In point of good looks the out-of-town ushers at the Paine-Mattingly wedding were distanced by the groom's father, Robert Treat Pain whose height and fine bearing made him a conspicuous a figure in the procession « relatives following the bridal party out of. the church as were the father «nd mother of the bride, who are a notably handsome couple. The same pleasant comment could be applied to General and Mrs. Ernst, and in point of fact was, there being observed at the marriage of their daughter Thursday at St. John’s many of the older friends of the family, whose gray hair only betoken a1 added grace and whose keen eyes have lost little of their brightness. All of which goes to show that it is quite as possible to grow old gracefully in Washington as any- where else, and the serentty which should be the dominating feature when middle age has been passed is easter to attain here, where life can be planned along pleasant and quiet lines, than would be likely in a commercial city. The guests at the Boardman dinner the other night are unanimous in the opinion that it was the handsomest large dinner given in Washington this winter. They were trec ced to a little surprise by having the electrio lights go out, but so perfectly was the room illuminated by the number of candles on the table and by others bre ‘> that they supposed it was all » .itdiccment, to Hlustrate the modern and the old-fashiored ways. They only kuew the real reason for the loss of the electrical effects on reading the papers yes- terday, when the accident at the power house was made known. The rule that a perfect dinner company should never exceed the number of the muses nor be less than the graces has no bearing these days in Washington, where hospitality need not be limited in any sense. The average town house has now at least one large rcom, and some have two, easily convertible into a banqueting hall if the dining room fs not large enough. Mr. John McLean and Mr. Henderson have banquet rooms in their houses, but at the recent dinners to the Anglo-American commission- ers Mrs. Leiter used her ball room, Mrs. Foster her music room and the Boardmans the library to accommodate all these guests and still have room to ask other friends. Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford will visit the United States next month and handsome entertainments will be given aod him in New York, and likely also in thi: city. Lord Charies is an elder brother of Lord William Beresford, who married the Duchess of borough, formerly Lillie Price Hamersley. He {s a man of fifty-odd, fas had a wonderful career in the English navy, and besides has served in parliament for York. He married twenty years ago Lady Minna Gardner. The old idea of a clearing house where society women could settle up their social balances by exchanging bristol board once @ week or so is revived with greater force than ever this winter, and has a new fea- ture added by a lady who is worn out with the demands upon her time. She thinks society might get into its new clothes every week or so, new en- vironment and new facial , and pose for mutascope plotures, which could be exhibited at proper intervals at different houses or at halls for those who would feel important enough to ask to see them, while the subjects could be nestling quietly at home or having a nice time at the thea- ter. Individuals too blase to go to balls every night could pose in their best humors and clothes, and these star portraits could be thrown on the screen at intervals be- tween the dances, and make a great deal better success of their appearance than if they had gone themselves. The scheme as exploited by a society dame, whose illu- sions of the enjoyments of fashionable life she has found to be largely delusions, caused great amusement the other day to a circle of friends to whom it was gravely unfolded. The Vice President and Mrs. Hobart at a beautiful dinner last night entertained the British ambassador and Lady Pauncefote, Lord Herschel, Sir Wilfrid and Lady Lau- rier, Sir Richard Cartwright, Miss Cart- wright, Sir Louis and Lady Daytes, Mr. and Mrs. Charlton, Sir James Winter, Mr. Coolidge, Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Hobson’ and Miss Boardman. The drawing rooms were fragrant with roses and the dining table profusely adorned with them. A stringed orchestra played during the evening. The Vice President says he is a direct gainer financially by the late war, and the reason he smilingly gives for this state- ment is a decidedly novel one. From his coming to Washington up to the outbreak of the war an average of 100 babies month were named after him, ‘or at lea their fond parents so informed him by let- ter, generally coupled with requests of th usual order. Other rich officials and sei tors have been through the same exper!- ence, and, as a rule, rather enjoyed sharing their names and small checks until the ag- gregate sum of i.e latter obliged them to call a halt. The Vice President does not let the left hand know what the right has acquired with sucu easy facility in these matters, but in this particular direction his value has fallen off considerably, for the youngsters nowadays, whose parents want to start them off under the halo of some- body's else name, choose Dewey, Schley, Roosevelt and Hobson, and all the rest of the recent heroes of land and sea. . J. T. Granger gave a very pretty rose luncheon on Thursday in honor of her sister, Mrs. Guthrie of Passaic, N. J., who is visiting Mrs. 8. H. Kauffmann. Miss Gale gave a luncheon on Tuesday, the guest of honor being Mrs. Harrison of Engiand. The decorations were yellow chrysanthemums.

Extreme Exertion, In all cases where the body is called upon for great exertion— when the physical powers are ex- erted to their utmost—the nerves strung to their highest tension—it is then that Johann Hoff’s Malt Ex- tract proves its value as a strength giver. Johann Hoff’s Malt Extract aids digestion and is a food in itself. Best results when taken with meals, Dr. W. N. Bradford of Cambridge, Ohio, writes: “Johann Hoff's Malt Extract is a certain tonic and in- vigorator. It imparts energy and vivacity and supplies resistance to fatigue.” Johann Hoff's Malt Extract makes flesh and blood. Avoid sub- stitutes, WORTH 4 VISIT. The Large Christmas Assortment of W. H.
