The number of weddings this spring l.
not reassuring to those who had com
menced to think that Washington Was
looking up a little in that direction Neithel
are the announcements with which tie pub
lie have been favored sufficiently numerous
or startling to create anything like a sur
prise. There are known to be several en-
gagements hanging fire that will certainly
eventuate in matrimony with the most
fashionable trimmings, but for some uneX-
plalned reason the principals In these af-
fairs seem very shy of admitting the soft
Impeachment The very nearest one rich
and beautiful widow can be brought to an
acknowledgment of the happiness She Is
going to bestow with her hand on one 81
the best catches of not only one season hni
two or three of them, is that she has
really made no plans at all for the coming
summer"
The distracting influences of the mar
riage of the French ambassador wifi not be
ours either, as that ceremonious event will
take place in Philadelphia. The nearest We
will get 10 1t is the home coming of the
bride and groom, and the little round OF
festivities in their honor that is bound Il
follow. AS society VIII soon commence to

a quieter time of ii than at any other time
of the year. While not strictly beautiful
the coming ambassadress has an expression
which gives her sympathetic and attract

over her many accomplishments. Sir Julian
Pauncefote and Prince Cantacuzene Will be
witnesses for NJ. Patenotre. The wedding
trip like all such affairs, is not announced,
but the presumption is viii be down IL

Lady Pauncefote and her daughters will
sail for Europe in the middle of April, so as
to be in London for the gay season Miss
Lillian Pauncefote will be presented a,
court at one OF the May drawing rooms
and is looking forward with the plea sura BILE
emotions all English girls are supposed 10
have on this most important event in her
life. The Misses Pauncefote have laid aside
their mourning. and will take part IN social
events after Easter until their departure

family abroad later. and they will not re-
turn here until next fall
All the bachelors in the diplomatic corps
were photographed one fine day recently
down in the Botanical Gardens, but share
the honors in the group with several young
matrons and young ladies with whom they
are particular favorites. The picture will
be we'll worth preserVa ton, and il is safe
to say every member of the group will have
a copy. A year from now IL will be inter
esting to look at again, and see the inroads
matrimony may have made among the list
of eligible bachelor diplomats. --
Mrs. Brice has made a move in a right d.
rection when she gives an early party The
reason that such a large dinner precedes
her cotillion next Wednesday night is be-
cause she thinks II much better than a late
supper. The cotillion will begin imme-
diately after dinner, not long after 8, and
will be all over by / O'Clock.
Mrs. Bissell is getting up a concert for
the benefit of the Home for Incurables,
which will be given stt the residence OF
Senator Hale on the afternoon of Tuesday.
April 3. Mrs. Blsssll will be assisted ~
Mr. Chauncey Alcott, the distinguished
English ballad singer. and Mrs. Sicard of
Buffalo, and the event promises to be one
of the most interesting, both artistica lly
and socially. Mrs. Rissell has a magnificent
voice that has been trained under the hest
masters in Europe, and there are express
sions of pleasure on every side Of the
chance of hearing her sing.
The marriage of Miss Eleanor Louise Ell
