A DULL WEEK IN SOCIETY
Aside From Marriages There Have
Been Few Notable Events.
Busy With Preparations for De-
parture for the Mountains
or the Seashore.

Society has been very busily making
its preparations to depart for its summer
outing to fountains and seashore; that
is, all society folk who are not to be
officially detained until Congress adjourns.
Tine bellies and debutantes, with few ex-
ceptions, have had it out with the dress
maker and the milliner, and are now
all ready for an early fitting with the
proverbial seven Saratogas all filled with
summer finery.
The nineteenth century girl is becoming
more and more fond of outdoor sports and
the result is that she is becoming more
and more the happy, healthy creature
nature first intended that she should be
The broadened waist, the sensible shoe,
and the bright color and flashing eyes
proclaim her to be the product of higher
civilization and a deeper culture. Her
winter has not been altogether butterfly
existence. She has been studying music,
science literature and in the seclusion
of her boudoir has, of late, been brushing
up her French. Possibly the non English
speaking postal delegate has had something
TO do with this last.
June roses and June brides we have
had galore, and they have both been ex-
ceedingly fair To look upon. Among the
brides have been Mrs. Lucy A. Collins,
who was united TO Commodore John
Franklin Hitchcock, of New York, early
In the week Miss Elizabeth Saville be-
came Mrs Fulton Lewis on Thursday last
Miss Julia Wilson and Mr.. B. Burch Earn
shaw entered into wedlock on Wednes-
day, as did Miss Emily Eva Wunder and
Mr. william j. p Shea. Another We'd
nesliay bride was Miss Stella E. Foreman
who became Mrs. j. II. Collins.
On Tuesday evening, oetagon House,
Hyattsyie, was the scene OF a pretty
wedding, the contracting parties being
Miss Bertha Rath bone and MI Homer
Ralph Blodgett, of Chicago.
These are only a few of the brides of
the past week, and the number Of mar
riages chronicied for the week 10 oome is
equally large. OF these quite number
will take place at the various country homes
Of the families OF the respective brides
The sweet girl graduate has been the
center % attraction TO great extent dur
ing the past seven days. She seems to be
more charming an d bright and sensible with
each succeeding veal. OF course, many of
the number will develop into debutantes by
next season, and last season = buds, who are
now full-fledged bellies, will have to
look to their laurels.
Miss Appersun, the charming young neIce
of Mrs. Hearst, graduated in New York
early last week and has been spending
some days in this city with her aunt.
Mrs Hearst has abandoned her proposed
sojourn abroad, for the present, and viii
leave In a short time for the West She
viii spend the summer at her beautiful
homein California, and contenplates spend
ing the coming winter with her brother at
his ranchi iii New Mexico. Mrs. Hearst has
been the moving spirit in all the charit
able institutions of this city, and her alb
sence will be as deeply regretted by the
many she has befriended as it will be
by her large circle of friends in the social
