Spinners’ Club at Century Hall, with Mrs. Mark Gerstle leader. All New York is aglee over the gorgeousness displayed at the Grand Opera during the production of “La Giloconda.” The song birds were in splendid voice, the opera a great suc- cess and each of the prima donnas ra- diant with her share of the extrava- gant applause. But 'twas not these things that Gothamites are discussing —it was the gowns and jewels in the boxes. Picture Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish in a pale blue gown, with a headdress of turquoises, a girdle and breastplate me azure stones; Mrs. Willie nderbilt Jr. in a low gown of red, and white brocade and ablaz with diamonds; Mrs. Cornelius Vander- bilt, the regal beauty, in a clc black velvet gown, without a jewel—thus scoring a hit. Al Borgeou: and a lot more, topic of chatter. The opera dental. it furnishes the mo! the greatest display of splendor in a America. LT A The Bohemian Club reception was an interesting function. Love of the mystic lies deep in the feminine breast, and the delight of being bidden to stroll through a club belonging to men was good fun. But whispers were abroad that a lot of fellows ran upstairs and locked their rooms in most ungallant fashion. Whether they feared the fem- inine inv n was “establishing a bad precedent” or whether the bureaus weren’t in order 'tis hard to say. But it was good fun yway just to look about a man's club. And if Tuesday night’s air of dignified decorum always prevails, then the Bohemian Club's a Sunday-school, and a mighty nice oné. As for the pictures in the jinks room, they did get some secondary attention from the women guests. But they will g0 back—these women fair—some after- noon and interview the pictures when the men are not hovering about. How, indeed, could women study pictures— inanimate things—when there were loads of interesting men about and a club with its seductive doors thrown open—save those that were cruelly locked? sl etiw At 4 o'clock on December 31 Miss Marie Voorhies, the last of a quartet of famous beauties, will become the bride of Captain Haldiman Putnam Young. The ceremony will be per- formed at the home of the bride’s parents, and the only attendant will be Miss Ives. The music-room, wherein the other daughters of the house were wedded, is admirably adapted for a nuptial ceremony. About its walls hang many exquisite tapestries, the work of the bride's deft fingers. Miss Voorhies will wear a beautiful lace robe, with a soft veil falling over her dainty figure. Captain Young will take his bride to visit relatives in the East and will then locate at the Schuylkill arsenal, in Philadelphia. Here a charming home awaits the bride. While Miss Voorhies will be greatly missed from her home by the Western sea, her friends rejoice that she will be near to her sister, Mrs. Guy Scott—quite near enough for an occasional visit. P Among the few roofs which shelter the true dispensers of hospitality. that of Miss Adeline Knapp and Madame Evstaphieve in Mill ley is one which gathers harmony under its eaves. The cottage is one built by Bruce Porter and is nestled in a far corner of the restful vallev under the grim protec- tion of Tamalpais. The quietude, which conduces to literary and other artistic work, also is most alluring to the less fortunate who live in the city's pan- demonium. Miss Knapp has gathered for to-day a small circle of congenials who will bask in the balmy air and converse upon topics dear to the artis- tic heart. The bidden on are: Miss Miriam Michelson, Mis: Michelson, Miss Marie Withrow, Miss Eva Withrow, Miss inah Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. Chester Bailey Fern- ald, Mr. and Mrs. Jules Mersfelder. Charles H. Lombard, John Gambl Bruce Port Eric Julihn, Harry M tayer, Mr. and Mrs Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Foster, an t Simpson.

Mrs. Glennon is a cordial and graceful hoste: and has entertained extensively at the navy yard. nl . Mrs. Charles Lyman Bent is vibrat- ing between Philadeiphia and Wil- mington, both cities claiming her time and offering much he tality. Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Higgins rather a trying time during their re- cent Eastern trip. Several accidents befell them and illness overtook them. Still many pleasures intervened, and they have now arrived safely at their own hearthstone once more, though Mr. Higgins has not yet fully recovered from the attack of pneumonia.

There, a real family gathering will ensue, for the two daughters of Judge and Mrs. Morrow, Mrs. Fechteler and Mrs. Roesevelt, live in the capital city, and with the soms-in-law and all the little people, a merry Christmas, indeed, awalts all. 9 Hie Mrs. Robert Oxnard Is at home again from her Eastern trip. et .
