DEBUTANTES SHARE FUN The Riper Sisters Have Charms That Win, BY SALLY SHARP. “A very merry, dancing, drinking, Laughing, quafiing and unthinking time"” was last night's Assembly at the Pal- ace—the first of the season—and, let it | be proclaimed from the ‘twas a famous success! But why not—with charming hostesses, ’ { ‘ housetops, a group of| and such an ar-‘ ray pretty women—debutantes and | their seasoned sisters? And (Whisper! it low) ’tis said that many men—over 20 and under 60, to be sure—really en- joy the seasoned sisters rather well. | | They seem to be less conscious of self, | | 1 throw out & thought, now and hen, to the man.

And herein is | an innovation for which to be devout- | ticularly in the supper-room, for the ly thankful. supper was really a treat. The music Say what you will, there has never | was good—a little speedy, perhaps—but L been—within the reach of Sally’s mem- ory—a prettier dance. True, there were no decorations, save the festoons of joy that hung about everywhere—and par- good; the punch was as good as Amer- icans demand with their appalling ap- peals for ice in their drinks; all the de- tails were splendid, all save the ven- tilation in the ballroom, which was vil- lainous—just ask the men, the poor chaps, whose collars wilted after the | . 7 s by GEORG. | alas! first dance, what they think of it. Now that the question is on, why does not the Palace management insti- | tute electric fans in the ballroom? They might not conduce to the beauty of the vory and gold walls—but why should | beauty of dead walls interfere with live comforts? Then, let us hope, that by the next glad Asserhbly, the good Palace people | will take heed of jthis poor suggestion. | 'Twould save much masculine lan- guage—and the necessity of buying a fresh collar at the fifth round. As for beauty, there was a surfeit of it—there were Mrs. Milton Pray, Mrs. Kranthoff, Miss Wilson of San Rafael, | Miss Maisie Langhorne, Miss Stella McCalla, Miss Elsle Sperry, Mrs. Thomas Porter Bishop, Miss Brewer, Miss Gertrude Hyde-Smith and—but memory, treacherous servant, fails me.

VARDAMAN TAKES ANOTHER FLING AT THE PRESIDENT Seizes Opportunity When Informed That Roosevelt Admired the Mis- sissippi Building. JACKSON, Miss.,, Nov. 28.—Gov- ernor Vardaman to-day received a telegram from President Francis of the World's Fair stating that Presi- dent Roosevelt visited and greatly ad- mired the Mississippi building while at the fair Saturday. The Governor wired a reply containing the follow- ing: “It is very gratifying to the people of Mississippi to know that they have done one thing that the present Presi- dent of the United States approves. Doubtless the President’s admiration of the Mississippi building is due to the admiration of Jefferson Davis, of whose last home it is a replica.” ———— SUPPORTERS OF COMBES TRICKED BY OPPOSITION Committee Votes, Down Bill for Sep- aration of Church and State.

Those who were on board of her were thrown into the water and were res- cued with difficulty. The second launch was so seriously damaged that she sank.

We know another thing—That those who may be holding back In hopes of a further cut in price, are waiting in vain, for we are at the vottom, abso« lutely at the bottom, there's nothing more to cut. If discounting $200 from the regular price of such a piano as the celebrated Weber—a piano known throughout the civilized world as one of the “four great American leaders”—putting it down to the price of a plano more than $200 be- neath its class, won't sell the remaining few flne Webers by to-morrow night, we'll have something good left over to sell at a profit, which won't be so bad after all.—But if you think business, think fast, for Webers will be a pretty expensive article after t sale is over. | Don’t waste time telephoning but grab your check or.pocket book, and meet us face to face, and you may hear sweet sounds at home to. ht.
