THE WORLD OF SOCIETY
Familiar Faces Now Throng Accustomed
Places.
October Brides, Orange Blossoms and
Other Timely TOpfcs-Per-
sOnal Notes.


social rulers are not expected for a month
or two yet. One can feel the impulse Gre
ated by the returned travellers along the
line Of domestic routine. at the butchers
and the bakers. but just as great as at any
other point. at the bicycle schools. These
necessary finishing departments of up
tc-date curriculum are turning out fresh
scholars every week. to add to the ever in
creasing number of enthusiasts on the
wheel.
There is no question but that the fall is
the most desirable OF all seasons for those
socially disposed, but who do not care par
ticulariy for the regulation dress-up winter
events. The weather is just right for both
outdoor and indoor enjoyments, and in con-
sequence many Of those who FASTENED home
after half of September was passed did so
because even the quiet Of the capital was
preferable to a longer separation from their
home comforts. Gossiping over the scan
dals, of which, happily, there are few to
repeat Of Washington folks. the engage
ments. weddings, births and deaths of the
last Tour or hve months Keeps tongues busy
these days, as folks meet after their travels
Just as will, few weeks later, the proba-
hiliues Of the coming season.
There are all sorts Of rumorS to the
prospects of the winter. That it will not
be unduly gay seems foregone conclusion.
This belief is strengthened by the fact
that several of the residents who ordi-
round will not be here This breach may
be more than made up by the newcomers,
and especially by or two who have
been quietly looking on for a couple of
seasons and are suspected of having am
billions Of social distinction, with abundant
ability to carry them out in good style.
The administration families. with perhaps
a few exceptions, cannot be expected TO
do very much and are planning very little
to that end. December will witness the
usual budding forth of the new candidates
for societyS smiles-the debutantes. The
list. as last year. will be largely made up
from the residential families, and will be.
as always. unusually interesting from any
point you view ii.
Next month, SO far as its earlier part is
concerned; will show up pretty well in the
wedding ine A number Of interesting
events are set for dates in the first fort
night, and invitations in large numbers are
already abroad. The wedding of Miss Stan
ley and Lieutenant Holbrook October l will
be solemnized In the Soldiers Home Chapel.
Weddings among the officers families at
the home have seldom occurred In this
chapel. and If there be pleasant weather
for this one 1t will be an ideally beautiful
affair. If moonlight illumines the scene
such as happened several times last week
the romantic surroundings to say nothing
OF the general comfort and satisfaction.
Will be perfect.
