tiou-Niss Helen Gould to Speak "a
Mrs. Roots Tomorrow Morning
Owing to the continued illness of the
President, the invitations for the diplo-
matte dinner which was to have been
given next Wednesday evening have been
recalled. The Secretary of War and Mrs.
Root were also compelled to defer their
Cabinet dinner in honor of the Presi-
dent from last night until such time as
their distinguished guest will be well
enough to warrant their arranging an
other date. The postponement of the
diplomatic reception last Wednesday left
the evening almost a dull one for the
diplomats and fashionable society who
were to have been Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Kinley's guests. OF course, there were
dinners-but there are dinners by the
dozen every night. Indeed, so popular
is this phase of Capital society, increas-
ing as the season rolls by, that a promi-
nent hostess of the official circle com
planned yesterday that 1t is next to inn
possible to get a dinner company together.
