Society Preparing to Go Into De-
cline.
ABOUT READY FOR THE LeNTfR SESSION
Week TINT Has Passed Had Little to
Attract the Attention of the
Swell Set, Aside from Minor
Functions.

The social calendar for the two days of
grace before the beginning CT the Lonten
season include several events of interest, al
though Il is not as gay as it has been ON
previous years.
The prelenten season is now practically
at an end, and there will be no large we'd
dings nor fashionable functions until after
the Ginning Of the Easter bells.
Society folk will doubtless be glad OF the
rest from so much gayety and excitement
and will be glad to turn their thoughts to
other subjects, such as literature, music and
study.
II Is almost always through Lent that
there are so many little reading clubs. cook
ing clubs, or sewing bees organized, or
muslcal socletes formed.

THE HIGGINS FACTION.
Another Republican State Convention BEING
Held in Delaware, To-day.

GEORGETOWN, Del, July 16 The
Addicks and Higgins factions Of the
state republicans clash once more, to-
day, at the state conventions and the
result will determine whether or not
the gas man and his lieutenants are to
be read out OF the party. The Ad-
dicks men, who have held their con-
vention and nominated a candidate for
governor, received serious set back
at the hands Of the national commit
tee and the committee on credentials
Of the republican convention in st
Louis; when, more on account of the
fact that Addicks prevented the cleo
tion Of republican United States sem
ator than anything else, the delegates
of the Higgins faction were seated,
and enabled to place man of their
own selection on the national COM
mittee. Since that time, the Higgins
people have deluged the state with an
address to republican voters, scoring
Addicks in vigorous style, and prac-
tically reading him out OF the party by
declaring that, after careful considera
tion and consultation with leading
republicans from all portions Of the
state, 1t has been decided that the Ad-
dicks state committee has no lawful
existence, and that none OF its acts or
overtures can be recognized.
