MISS ROOSEVELT ISSUES
 THOUSAND INVITATIONS.

National social interest will centre this week in the debut of Miss Alice Roose- welt, whose coming out ball will take A special telegram from Washington an- nounces that President and Mrs. Roose- welt propose making the formal debut of their daughter the crowning event of this season. For the first time in it's his- tory debutante ball of large proportions is to be given in the White House.
 Mrs. Roosevelt has issued more than a thousand invitations for the event an- nounced to take place Friday evening, January 8, at ten o'clock. The invitations are sent out in the same form and de- sign as those used by the President and Mrs. Roosevelt for state functions. The engraving is similar. and the govern ment's gilded crest is used, although the cards are issued only in the name of Mrs Roosevelt.
 purely unofficial function the arrange ments are being carried forward with all the ceremony and dignity of a great of- f1cial entertainment. The guests will in- clude all the government dignitaries, the diplomats and the leaders of society in Washington, New York, Boston. Chicago, and, in fact, all parts of the country.
 The grand dance Is to be held in the historic east room. The reception pre- ceding the ball takes place In the state apartments, the blue. the red and the green parlors. Refreshments will be served in the state dining room. Prome- made and dancing music will be furnished by the Marine and Artillery bands. The decorations will be upon an elaborate scale. echpsing anything hitherto at- tempted at the executive mansion
 During Miss Roosevelt's brief residence in Washington she has won great popu- larity in society. and has already been the recipient of many social courtesies. Dinners, lunches, teas and theatre parties have been showered upon her. Because of the great size of the ball, the cotillon will be omitted. but 1t Is announced that a second dance. including the cotillon, will be held at the White House on Shrove Tuesday. for which the invitations will be limited.
 The last dance of any proportions given in the east room was during the Harrison administration, when Mrs. Mckee, daugh- ter of the President, was hostess.

WOMEN WANT ANTI
 SETTING LAW ENFORCED.

The club women of Birmingham have signed petition to be sent the Mayor and Board of Aldermen, urging that the law be inforced regarding the splitting or dinance. Attention was first called to this matter by the Woman's Club, which resulted in the present ordinance.
 The ordinance, however, has not been enforced and a number of Birmingham S most representative club women are now urging that violators of the splitting or dinance be fined not less than $10 or im- prisonment for not more than ten days. The petition will contain other signatures, as the Womans Club is heartily in sym pathy with the present agitation. The clubs leading In the movement are the Highland Book Club, of which Mrs. R. D. Johnston is president; the Cadmean Cir cle, of which Mrs. w. s. Lowell Is presi- dent; the Nineteenth Century Club, Mrs. John London president, and the Clionian Club, of which Mrs. Richard Randolph is president.

What could be prettier than a powdered ball?
 Our great grandmothers gave their ap- proval of them and ever since colonial beauty trod a measure, 1t has been the fashion for society in paint and powder and patches to have it's ball
 The bal poudre at the Country Club last evening was the second occasion of the winter, when beauty, with her powdered coiffieure, her paint and patches, her bro- cade, made a ballroom scene like one from play. and the dramatist need not have gone to colonial days for a more striking picture of that picturesque pe- riod. The ball was a late one, but bril- liant one, and there was never so large an assemblage at the club.
 From Memoli's full orchestra came burst of melody. In a moment the ball. room was aflutter. The grand march was gorgeous 1t was led by MT. Robert Baugh. There were several hundred in line. Later in the evening cotillon was | danced, MT. Porter Walker leading. A number of beautiful figures were intro duced, the most effective being the one in which the women were presented with Japanese lanterns, the lights in the ball. room being lowered. There was no minuet
 
 holidays gave so little time for rehearsals that this feature was abandoned, but the ball was none the less beautiful by req son of the omission of the minuet. Among the beauties of the occasion was Miss Marjorie Catchings, who was to have been in the minuet She wore a gown of white crepe, the fichue being of white | and embroidered in pink roses Miss Katie Smiths beauty was even more pronounced Wi hair haU being or white lace over white silk. Miss Florida Graves was a charming figure in gown of white brocade. Miss Virginia Graves wore a princesse gown of white crepe de chine.
 Mrs. Albert T. Henley was among the handsomest women of the evening in | toilette of blue tissue embroidered in black.
 Mrs P. M. Tutwiler was unusually at tractive, with her powdered coiffieure. She wore a gown of white and green striped silk.
 Mrs. Harry Matthews was a lovely figure in pink silk.
 Miss De Bow, Miss Dimmck, Miss An derson, the Misses Coche were among the visiting belles. Miss De Bows gown was of black paint d spirit, which was most effective with her powdered hair Mrs. Baugh was beautifully gowned in pink crepe with pink liberty silk. Miss | Webb wore green tissue over silk. A majority of the women while not adhering closely to a colonial style of dress wore the powdered coiffieures and the beauty touches' that add to the loveliness of a youthful face. The climax was reached last evening when to the beauty of the ballroom scene was added that of colored lights, making the grouping of the belles and beaux a perfect picture of a colonial ball.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
Report says Foreigner Tried to Kill
 the Japanese Emperor.

Vancouver. B. C., December 30.-Japan- csc papers received by the steamer Athe- nian tell of what appeared to be an at tempt at assassination on the Emperor by foreigner named Thorson, who. with an ex-member of the Japanese Parlia- ment, Tanaka Sjoseo. waited for the im- perial carriage after the ceremony of opening the Diet had taken place. The Japanese member wished to present document to His Majesty and threw off his coat and hat to approach the carriage. As he rushed forward Thorson also ran up with & pistol in his hand. but before he could do anything he was overpowered and disarmed by soldiers of the guard. It is alleged that Thorson had an in- terest in the document which the Japa- nese was attempting to present to the Emperor and that. he brandtshed the weapon to impress the Japanese with his importance. Thorson is in jail, while the Japanese was provisionally pardoned.
