Miss Keeney and Mr. Tomlinson met in New York last winter. It was, on the part of the gentleman, a case of love at first sight. to her home in this city Mr. Tomlinson followed her out here. How well he pleaded his cause the announcement of the engagement shows. Miss Keeney is the daughter of Mr. and of Mrs. William Alvord. She is extremely | beautiful, graceful, attractive and accom- plished. Mr. Tomlirson is a New Yorker of ex- cellent connections. He is a member of the oil firm of Havemeyer & Co. Miss Keeney leaves shortly to spend the winter in New York. No date has been set for the wedding, which will probably take place in the early spring. Mrs. Tobin and the Misses Agnes and Celia Tobin gave a delightful tea yester- day afternoon -In honor of Mrs. Alice Meynell, the celebrated essayist and poet- ess. Miss Agnes Tobin, during her ex- tended stay abroad, met the distinguished @ WANT A REHEARING OF THE FAMOUS CODE CASZE Prominent Lawyers and Members of Commission File Petition in Supreme Court. Two petitions for a rehearing of the code case were filed in the Supreme Court yesterday. One was signed by sixty-nine prominent lawyers from all sections of the State and the other by the members of the Code Commission. The Civil Code, the Penal Code, the Code of Civil Procedure and the county government act were all practical- ly declared void about two weeks ago. Consternation at once seized the framers of the measures and numerous other peo- ple who were profiting from the practice of the new laws. Their only hope lay in the petition for a rehearing and in view of the fact that the decision of the court was prompt and unanimous this hope would teem to rest on a very frail foundation. Most of the legal lights realize and are pleased at the.apparent hopelessness of the case. A final decision will probably be given in the course of a few days. —_———— Streets in Bad Condition.

Mrs. Meynell came from London to this city with Miss Celia Tobin, who has just returned from a trip abroad. The lady is now a guest at the Tobin home and may possibly remain here throughout the winter. The handsome Tobin home was beauti- fully decorated yesterday afternoon in honor of the pleasant occasion. Dark- When Miss Keeney returhed | robed, sweet-faced sisters took possession of the home in the morning and skillfully arranged the many fiowers that were used to make the home beautiful. A profusion of greens and long stemmed golden chrysanthemums were used and the ef- fect was beautiful and artistic. There was no recelving party. Mrs. Tobin and her charming daughters welcomed the guests and presented them to the dis- tinguished lady they were asked to meet. Mrs. Meynell was attired in a magnifi- cent black silk gown that was elaborately trimmed with lace and chiffon. The hours of the tea were from 3 to 7, during which time fully 200 people were entertained. During her stay here Mrs. Meynell will write a series of weekly letters for the Pall Mall Gazette of London. It is also probable that the lady will appear before one of the leading women's clubs and de- liver ‘her famous lecture on Dickens.
