residence on the corner of Sixteenth and L

such young girl. Miss Nellie Is IN Balti-
more at a boarding school.
Mrs Fairchild will not return from Gaze

The Endicott mansion is all aglow with
softly shaded lights every evening now, and
the ladies are at home to their intimate
friends. As they are still in mourning, the
household is apt to be quiet one until after
the New Year. Nobody has yet plucked up
courage enough to ask Miss Endicott
whether or not she has accepted Mr.. Cham
berlain.

way home from Lenox and is not expected
here until next week. The town and coun-
try houses are both in readiness for the re-
turn of the family.
COMING NUPTIAL EVENTS.
Marriage bells will not be heard in suffi-
cient numbers this autumn to thoroughly
entertain society, which really depends
almost entirely on wedding feasts for its
gayety until the official season begins.
Preparations are now being made for the
wedding of Mrs. Blossom Drum Hunt, the
widowed daughter of Gen. Drum, to Mr..
| Oliphant of New Jersey, and for that OF
Miss Kate Beach, daughter of Mrs. Frank
| Beach, to Mr.. Thompson of Philadelphia.
| Miss Beach achieved fame in President
| Arthur's administration by being engaged
| to young Alan Arthur, but the marriage
was broken off by the elders. Miss Beach
| is exceedingly pretty, and has been much
| admired.
The engagement of Miss Marie Howell,
| daughter of Admiral and Mrs. Howell, to
| Mr.. Chester, an English solicitor. has come
over the sea the past week. Miss Howell
has been abroad all summer, with her
parents. and met her fate, or, rather,
! accepted it, having declined the same honor
| two years ago.
Another engagement much talked of, be-
cause the bride is rich aud the prettiest Of
| last seasons debutanteS, is that OF Miss
| Dorothy Phillips to Mr.. Hilton, a son of
| Judge Hilton, of San Francisco.
HIS LORDsHIP'S INTENTION.
The British minister, Lord Sackvile, and
| his daughters are to be back at the legation
early next weeks The young ladies are in
mourning, and society notes with some dis
| tress that this may prevent the annual le-
cation bali. which has opened the season
| each winter with such ecldt 1t is not ex-
pected that Lord Sackvile will remain
very long at this post, as there is talk in
| Diplomatic circles of his promotion to St.
| Petersburg
The German embassy will play an i'm
portaut part in the winters gaieties, as
Count Arco Valley is a thorough society
man and already widely acquainted with the
| leaders of the fashionable set His legation
building on Fifteenth street has been reno
| waited from garnet to cellar, and it is almost
ready for his return. An elderly maiden
sister is going to preside for the minister,
| and it is expected that his entertainments
| will be lavish and frequent.
| The Haytian Minister and Nine. Preston
are back in town. The family have a com
modious residence on Vermont avenue, and
| they will introduce two pretty young
| daughters TO society. Mr.. Preston, while
representing a bankrupt country, is dean OF
the diplomatic corps, and the family are
very popular.
THE FULLER GIRLS INVASION.
Veteran society girls are aghast at the
information that Chief Justice Fuller will
have six daughters in society this winter.
Four of them have been out for several
years, and two others make their debut this
winter. The young ladies look forward
with considerable zeSt to the pleasures of a
winters life here. One of them is devoted
| to music, and has given lessons in Chicago.
| Another is abroad, but is expected home
| shortly. Some of them are expert
riders on the bicycle, and are
charmed with the advantages they can
enjoy for that sport here. There's no non
sense about the Fuller girls, and the other
day, when all the servants were busy, they
answered calls at the front door themselves.
| OF course, all the ladies of the supreme
court circles must call first on Mrs. Fuller
| and later each family in turn will entertain
