The Two Debuts Were the
Events of the Past
Week.

The Dictates of Fashion and the
Invitations Of Amusement.

much importance to society here, have
taken place this week, and oddly enough,
both happened to fall on the same night
There have been many comparisons made
in regard to the Bedle and Watson recep-
tons, and it would be difficult thing to
say which carried off the palm. Both of
these occasions were to introduce the
fortunate daughters of these families to
seeiety. Probably the reception of ex-
Governor and Mrs. Bedle was somewhat
larger and grander, but both were such
affairs as seldom take place here.
LONG ANTICIPATED BY SOCIETY.
IN the early part of last winter was
told that these receptions would take
place, and since then society has been on
the qui vive anG only could an important
. wedding allay for time the interest felt
i'll them. and now that they have really
come to pass for nine days the events
will still be the chief topic of converse
ton. The gowns worn at Mrs. Bedle's
were the finest l have ever seen in this
city. Both Mrs. Bedle and Miss Bedle
wore Worth gowns, which were made
for them while in Paris during the past
summer. Miss 1Bedle's gown was of
simple white tulle over white satin, very
youthful and pretty and well suited to
her. The fan Miss Bedle carried was
made for her in Paris and her handker-
chief of real Brussels point was pur-
1'chused when they were staying at Brus-
sells.
TWO PRETTY sDEDUTANTES.
Miss Bedle and Miss Watson are very
pretty debutantes and have a brilliant
haf Hioc p1<t 10 Sc,
girl of eighteen. spirited and vivacious
Though the only daughter, she is by no
means spoiled one, and is much beloved
by all her numerous friends
Miss Watson is a tall, we'll formed
blonde, not exactly handsome, but attrac-
tive, pleasing and cordial in manner. She
has spent considerable time abroad and
has received a careful education. Society
may well be proud of these additions, as
both these young ladies will be brilliant
ornaments to it.
Although ex-senator and Mrs. Brink
erloff decided in the early autumn that
New York society was the only society
suitable to receive Miss Brinkerhoff as an
exponent, they have somewhat changed
their minds of late, taken another house
on Bergen Heights, and have now decided
to let Miss Brinkerhoff grace the social
circles Of this city. Miss Brinkerhof was
one of the six young ladies who assisted
Miss Bedle to receive. Miss Curtis, who
was also one of the favored six, is New
York lady, whose beauty has made her q
popular favorite wherever she has APP
peared.
