ciaI gayety the average person whose hap
piuess is more or less bound up in what
fashionable life is doing would find it
rather hard to remain even contented dur
ing the present dizziness. Everybody has
not left town by any means, for one meets
in most unexpected quarters those whose
movements in the winter season keep hun
dreds of others Interested But the throng
has gone and at the moment is making time
pass as gleefully as possible in the noun
tains or at the seaside. or indeed any place
remote from the usual all-year-round habi
tation. Those who find everyday life here
abouts dull and commonplace find pleasure
in the program already outlined for next
winter. The extensive rebuilding and build
ing anew now going on in the West End
would not be needed If entertaining on a
most costly and more continuous style
were not the object.
Last winter gave hht OF what the
future Washington season is likely to be.
The shifting about so long necessary in the
White House and doubly SO last season,
when the Roosevelt regime broke all his
toric records will be a thing of the past
after the altera tons now going on are COM
pleted. That the President and his family
will make their second winter more mem
orable than the first is an easy prophecy.
The marriage of Miss Alice Hay and Mr..
Wadsworth will inaugurate the cabinet hos
pitalities, and it is quite possible will re-
open the Hay home for series of the ele-
CANT entertainments with which it has long
been Identified The family Of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury is likely to make the
most telling effect in the cabinet circle.
since their acquaintance Is already very
large, both host and hostess are greatly
liked and their daughters are just at the
age to take the livelieSt interest In the go
ings on of official and resident life.
Another tremendous factor in the gayety
of next winter will be the debutantes, of

receiving the final cultivation preparatory
to their grand unfolding as specimen capt.
tai buds. These youngsters, many OF whom
have had such frequent experiences of So
ciety as to be already accomplished women
of the world, have had their official" COM
ings-out planned year ahead, even down
to date and place, and the December teas
and dances at which bouquets will be well
coined and received by the wagon load
will make the last month of the year a
memorable '1ittle' season = Outside of the
formal debut balls, the leaders have plan
ned a series of dances to extend through
The debutantes will be: the blight, parti-
cular stars of THE FortBightly," the man
agement of which will be in the hands of
half dozen of the more prominent matrons
Mrs. Elkins Mrs. Postlethwaite, Mrs
Townsend, Mrs. Bloomer. etc, whose daugh-
tiers will be buds and bellies next winter
These dances will be given in Rauschers
new ball room, and will alternate with the
Small and Early assemblies, also to be held
there, and which have been such success
for several seasons II,
The British embassy next winter and its
near neighbor, the italian embassy. will
also engross a large share of fashionable
attention. The coming of the new ambas-
sador and wife, both Of whom have so
many friends, will inaugurate a series OF
welcoming Inequalities.
The Italian ambassador was most anxious
to appropria tely housewarm the officlal
headquarters of his country as soon as ne

cprocate the many courtesies extended to
both himself and his wife. He was only dis
suaded by the scattering of diplomatic and
official residents for the summer, and Will
therefore be among the first in the field Of
this branch of endeavor. in the early win
ter.
The curtain has not rung up to any APP
preciable extent at Newport, but at Bar
HarbOr there s more movement apparent
with corresponding interest.
1t IS very seldom such a pretty girl as
Miss Mildred Williams and a member of
a wealthy family like the FarwelPs select
a wedding date out of the season and have
only the closest relatives and friends as
witnesses. Mr.. and Mrs. Farwell have ac-
complished 1t successfully, even to keeping
the happy date a secret from the world I'M
til the ceremony was over. The only note
of regret is that the charming bride will
reside in another city, but she has wide
circle of friends in Chicago not only be-
cause of the prominence of her family, but
ality.
Mrs. Mary Durham, accompanied by her
daughter Marjorie, has gone to Canada to
