to with a good deal of interest by the So
cial world. Washington society is never
quite so well content as when it sees some
Of its members doing samething out of the
regular order of things. If it can find
people of social prominence dressed up in
some outlandish costumes. kicking up their
heels Oh the amateur stage, dispOrting with
blackened faces in the field of minstrelsy.
OF parading in costume at some fair or
bazar ''fOr sweet charity's sake" it is su-
premely happy. This week has been an
occasion of that sort, for its leading social
event was the bazar for the benefit of the
Garfield hospital held on Tuesday and
Wednesday. The preparations were on
much more extensive scale than ever be-
fore. 1t was managed by Mrs. Senator
Logan and Mrs. Gen. Ricketts,. and was a
great success in every way. Even the
weather, which had been bad, seemed to
have all especial feeling for this event, for
on Tuesday it changed from the damp, dis
agreeable weather which had lasted for sew
eraI days to bright skies and clear, crisp
atmosphere. such as Washington can es-
pecially boast at this time Of the year. The
bazaar ran through two days, Tuesday and
Wednesday. It opened with matinee at

AN INTERESTING FEATURE
of the week, too, was German opera.
The German Opera company, which
has been the rage at the Thalia
theater, in New Yerk city, appeared
in Washington and gave at least three
operas that had never been performed here
previously, besides three standard favorites.
Hitherto the best German comic operas
have been heard here only through the me
dium of French, English, or italian YER
sions, which might be just to them or not.
according to the taste or skill of the adapter.
This week there was no doubt about having
the real thing presented to the best advan-
age, with good voices and the authors dia-
logue and ideas. The result was the most
fashionable audiences that have been seen
at theater in Washington this season. The
diplomats were especially interested in this
opera, and anything that brings out the
diplomats brings out the society people in
general. So opera parties and late suppers
wree quite the rage.
Another charity that has attracted good
deal OF attention this week, has been the
children's Christmas clubs, originated two
or three years ago here, the object of which
IL to give W tilc pun cHIioieIi VI tilC toWN
genuine Christmas dinner and some Christ
mas presents besides. Miss Cleveland has
taken great interest in the work and, as
already announced, is to be the president OF
the association. There is an organization
of young persons for like purpose, which
was presided over last year by Miss Nellie
Arthur. The presiding officer of this or
ganization this time is to be Miss Villas, the
daughter of the postmaster general.
