Everybody is saying that 1t is '.too
odd for anything" that Circumstances have
recently arranged Themselves so fortunately
for two young women well known i'll
society here. These attractive daughters
of a certain deceased army officer who
was conspicuous for gallantry during the
Custer massacre, made their home in this
city for some reasons. Finding times very
hard, however, and their incomes yisibly
reduced, they decided to visit friends
in the South, thus combining business
with pleasure.
On the way to Florida a railway ac-
cident occurred, delaying them over
night at i most uninteresting station,
whose best hotel boasted only the most
moderate accommodations. Now the same
wreck retarded the progress Of the north
bound tram: on which an enormously
wealthy ''oil king accompanied by his
son, fine looking chap. quite twenty-one
years OF age, was returning to his northern
home. The iuformality of the occasion

same table at supper, and mutually enjoy
fried ham and eggs from the came gen

the older young woman to the stepson
of her sister. By this union Miss Orphan,

law and her step-son's sister-in-law. Miss
Orphan, ST.. will be put in possession OF
certain superb and world famous Jewels.

inherited by her son, and there are several
other confusing consequences which time
will probably render more amusing.

humiliauDg fact has remained uDrevealed
until now. The comprehensively swell list
of invitations for theoccasion, printed yester
day, shows that ouly IL Jones', Smiths,
Browns, and Robinsons are included
among expected guests. Query: Whatever
have these representative American families
"beeu gone and done' that they should
figure SO moderately at such function?
In addition TO the diplomatic representa-
tives who viii make their bows to society
at the Capital this winter is Marquis Mala
spina. He comes to fill the position OF first
secretary of the Italian embassy, lately

Marquis Imperial, and was last stationed
at Brussels, and is now in New York. There
