WIN sing at Coronation.

Miss Mary Mcfarland and Miss
Marie Mcfarland, twin sisters, of Den
yer, Col, who are we'll known as much
for their beauty as for their talent as
songsters, have been chosen to sing at
the coronation ceremonies of King
Edward VII, to be held next summer.
The Misses Mcfarland have beell great
travellers and it was upon che of their
journeys, through Europe that they
met the present king of England, at
that time prince of Wales. It is stated
that the royal command to sing at the
ceremonies proceeds directly from the
king and issanot the outcome of the
plans of the committee which has this
matter in hand. This is felt to be an
additional honor and the residents
of Denver who have watched the
careers of the twin sisters with kind
ly interest are greatly pleased over the
matter.

Rather . trying and yet ludicrous
state Of affairs in social circles is be-

surname simply pretixed with Mrs. or
Miss, without either Christian name,
initials, street address, or husbands
title on visiting cards. This does in
cities where official housewives are,
not expected to be diligent in return
ing calls, or where the woman is unique

4 The wife of q member, Of congress
in his second term was rather sur
prised after an at home the other
afternoon to find that six Mrs. Smiths
had. called and from two to three peo-
pie of like other names, and not q sign
of any means of telling who was who.
A number of the women who have
been in official life in Washington for
a number of years are rather surprised
and not little confused to go to the
drawing-room in response to a call
expecting to find friend and being
met only by an embarrassed stranger.
Among the women old in official Life
who never attempt innovations likely
to make confusion is Mrs. Stephen B.
Elkins and Mrs. Eugene Hale, both
of whom announce themselves by card
in the oldfashioned way. In fact,
most of the women who have been
longest in official life unite in saying
that with cabinet, supreme court, SEN
ate and congressional ladies who are
expected to make an exchange call it
creates too much confusion, and the
old custom should obtain.
It was at first thought that perhaps
the wives of the cabinet members and
supreme court Judges should have
simply the Mrs. prefxed to their
names, but as the other women who
mingle in Washington official society
could not be controlled in the mat
ter they took up the custom, dropped
all initials and there was confusion
worse COMPOUNDED.
There are a number of senator's
wives who have daughters-in-law in
Washington who mingle in society,
and where both use only the prefix
Mrs. they too. create confusion. The
result is a general decision that Chris
tian names or the husbands titles
must be used on cards hereafter.

Borough President-elect Cantor an
nounces that he is in favor of trans
forming Blackwell's Islandinto park,
in harmony with the plan suggested
by the federal government: which

The federal government promises, if
permission is given to use the island,
to do these things without cost to the
city, lay it out as a public park for
the full and unrestricted use of the
people at all times, and according to
plans approved by the city.
The city shall decide the number of
location and style of architecture.
The navy department. shall keep on
each side of the island war vessels free
to visitors and at least twice a week
during the summer it will give free
concerts.
The island was chosen by Rear Ad-
miral Taylor and Commander Cowles,
who were appointed a committee to Sc
lect site for a drill ground for. the
men at the Brooklyn navy yard and
homes for the officers.
The suggestion has been approved
by congress, and full power. given to
the navy department to enter into ne.
gotiations with the city, so that the
dealings will be confined to the off:
