out their tender faculties OF fascination
DO they believe all the nice things the
men tell them? No. For mamma has
given them a gentle warning. and they
take care Of themselves quite safely in
the game OF hearts.
Baltimore society looks forward with
considerable interest to the coming out
Of the fresh buds that are soon TO charm
at swell social events. Many of them
are younger sisters cf former ballroom
Queens. The first question usually asked
IS: "Wiil she be pretty and stylish;
and does she talk well-and dance, and
enjoy everything? And IS the city's iepu-
tation for beautiful women likely TO be
enhanced or not by her advent into the
gay worId?" As FAR as the most Of this
seasons debutantCs are concerned, these
questions can be answered in the affirma-
tive. and they will soon have a good time
at the teas luncheOns, and other festiVi-
ties that will be given IN their honor. They
VIII have, though, this year many fOrini-
dable rivals in the way OF the young
brides. who Will also grace society, ana
OF whom the number now Is very large

for the numerous beautiful and fashion
able weddings.
SOME OF THEM.
One OF the most attractive debutantes
of the season IS Miss Elizabeth Boykin,
dauChter of Colonel w. ~ Boykln, or
Virginia. She Is tall and rather slender,
with a graceful figure, and profusion Oh
lisht-brown hair and pretty blue eyes.
She Is Il brilliant conyersationalist, and
very popular among the younger set
OF society. Miss Boykin will MAKE her
debut at the frst bachelors cotillon.
Another is Miss Nora Blackwell.

to a remarkable extent.
THE FAvORITE GAME.
Football, that at present most fashion
able sport, seemed 20 strike just the risHt
suot. and society turned out in fun force
10 enjoy not only the game. but the couh-
try and the fun that the social gathering
would afford. 1t IS only necessary 10
stand off and wltcn, not the game put

are some girls who 20 to enjoy the game

Of Baltimore county In search Vi coon.
In the party were General John Gill. DR..

dozen others. After a rough and fruitlcss
tramp Of four or five hours they lost their
appetite for coon, although their appetite
for oysters increased TO remarkable
extent Upon the return TO the clubhouse
the hunters threw down their torches In
disgust and enjoyed an oyster-roaSt ana

riences in chasing the willy coon.
THE HORSE SHOW.
widespread interest IS being manifested
in the horse show, which opens here on
tho 9Th instant at Union Park. Horse
shows have in a great measure stimulated
the feeling for high class animals FOR
driving and hunting purposes by bringing
private owners into competition before the
public. Crowds OF fashionable folk attend
these exhibitions. which have been given
regularly IN some OF the large cities, New
York taking the lead for the excellence
II the animals entered. Governor Brown
has sent invitations 10 the Governors of
the different States to be present on the
opening nieht the 9TH. Three hundred
and seVcnty-thrce horses are entered, and
VIII be judged in - classes.
one Of the fads of the show will be
box partas-the boxes occupying the
space IN the front rows of the grand
stand. ana will seat from six to eight
persons. The social features Of the show
are expected to be rs great in Baltimore
ls those Of the NcT York shows. Mr..
Henry Fairfax, OF \iruinia. has added
four entries 10 his string. Among the
Baltimore entries are those Of John X.
Cowen, Mrs. Jessie Tyson, Alexander
Brown. and others. Probably the most
noted animal Of the show will be the
celebrated mare Lou Chief. entered by
Mr.. J. VI. Garrett. Of Kentucky. Her
owner describes her as the greatest living
prize-wlnner. having taken 100 prizes, OF
which 10 We're flrst awards. Eleven
English hunters are entered by Mr.. Adam
Beck. OF Ontario, Canada.
a BEAUTIFUL GROUP.
For pure, classic beauty OF features.
Mrs. Jessie Tyson. OF Baltimore, could
easily carry off the golden apple. so long
rs Baltimore possesses such women the
prize of beauty will remain with her.
Miss May Handy. one Of the most famous
beauties of Nirginia's capital, is an inti-
mate friend of Mrs. Tyson. and has
formed one Of the beautiful group OF
ladies' with whom she Is surrounded, IN
Guiding Miss Louise Morris. Miss Marie
Sterling. Miss Eugenia McLane, and Miss
LOta Robinson. Mrs. ID. G.. Mcintosh,
nee Pegram, OF Richmond. IS all
tho more attractive from the fact that
she does not seem to be aware of her fine
personal beauty. Nor is she at all jealous
II the beauty OF other women. Why
should she be? 1t IS 4 lovely picture to
see her dispensing the inequalities of
her charming home. surrounded by her
many friends at Towson. Miss Mildred
Morris. the daughter of Mr.. John Il. Nor
ris and the sister Of the lovely Mrs.
Frederick Gebhar1. IS q very handsome
and attractive girl.
In the death Of Mrs Margaret Easter,
Maryland's poetess. which occurred on
Sunday. the South loses one who has
been assigned q prominent place in her
later literature. Many OF her produc-
lions received the cOmmendation OF critics
whose standards of excellence are high
and exactlng: and much OF her work in
the magazines has been favorably COM
mented upon by noted men of letters.
Mrs. Easter has a daughter-Mrs John
Corder-living in Front Royal. Va. she
was a daughter of the late Daniel MIL
ler. who was born and reared in Loudoun
county. Va. and who was one of Balti-
n.ore's most prominent and honored citi-
