No important events are on record as like
ly to break the waiting for the November
date which Gen. Corbin and Miss Edith
Patten have selected for their wedding. The
date has been popular one In the calcula-
lions of numerous other couples whose we'd
ded life will begin also with the first We'd
nesday in the last autumn month. A gem
eral atmosphere surcharged with orange
blossom odors will prevail both during the
afternoon and evening of November q and
will compel active moving about for those
whose presence is desired at more than one
of these festivities.
Gen. Corbin went to New York yesterday
and will board the ship down the bay which
brings his future wife home again. The
wedding CARDS are out for the ceremony
and the plans decided upon by the bride
last spring will be carried out. Gen. Corbin
comedies all his views to the superior Judg-
ment of his bride-elect which subor6sna-
ton is the usual position of happy bride
grooms on similar occasions. After the cere-
mony the couple will be absent from town
awhile and upon their return will take up
their residence in Gen. Corbins present
apartments to await the completion of their
future home. Among the generals wedding
gifts will be number of beautiful articles
in silks, &c. collected by him during his

Col. and Mrs. r. 1. Fleming have re-
opened their Massachusetts avenue home,
after spending most of the summer at their
suburban place, Oak View. The family was
north during the late summer for several
weeks.
The winters debutantes will include Miss
Roosevelt, Miss Anna Ewing Cockrell, sec
ond daughter of the Missouri senator, who
is back from a years absence in Paris;
Miss Grace Bell, Miss Marie Fauntieroy
Barnes, Miss Julia Goldsborough, Miss STAN
ton, Miss Mackay-Smith and Miss Bertha
Hill. Miss Roosevelt is already taking part
in social life at the White House, which
far is limited to Mrs. Roosevelts meet
ings with her friends which naturally have
to be arranged for a stated date, both for
her own and the general convenience. The
daily routine at the White House has more
activity about 1t than has been observed
there for many years. The comings and
goings of each member of the household
manifest the usual strenuous life of the
young and healthy to whom every day
some novelty is presented and enjoyed.
Mrs. Roosevelt's gentle dignity of manner
has quite won the hearts of her callers,
most Of whom up to this time have been
acquaintance of several years standing.
1t no longer seems to be In doubt that
the coming winter will be brilliant one
In resident circles a few, like Mr.. and Mrs
Thomas F. Walsh, who entertained SO con-
tinuously and handsomely last year, will
be missed, and the breach may not be filled
so acceptably. The recent death of Mrs
Walsh's sister is the cause Of her retire
ment this winter from society. In fact, be-
reavements have come to at least twenty
five well-known families in official and resi-
dent circles since the early spring, but the
gradual enlargement of the boundaries of
the social world of the capital is SO marked
that even the withdrawal of such a large
number seems to have little effect in a
general way. The new homes opened for
the first time this year alone make fea-
ture Of widespread interest, which is bound
to form an important item In the summing
up Of the winters pleasures.
Mr. and Mrs. F. c. Mcguire are back
again at their Connecticut avenue resi-
dence after long absence. Mrs. Mcguire,
whose illness allowed her participation
in social life but rarely last winter, is now
almost in her usual good health, which
statement means volumes to the friends
who constantly regretted her absence and
deeply sympathized in its cause.
Mr.. and Mrs. Archibald Hopkins and
family have returned for the winter.
The Spanish minister and Duchess OAR
cos are going abroad for the winter, and
will sail the last of November.
Mrs. D. Sondheimer has moved to Ills
9Th street. and viii be home Thursdays.
