The Coming Of the stork.

Washington, Msy PIT Is expected
that four of the leaders of Washington's
brilliant social season just passed will
tom porarily retire from society, seek
ing some quiet and secluded place of
rest until next fall. when they will
again return to their Washington homes
and be able to take up the social reins
at the beginning OF another official sea
son. Naturally, the greatest interest
ia conferred In Mrs. Roosevelt, who, 10
company with her children, will leave
Washington for Oyster Bay, where she
will spend the summer away from the
curious public, returning to Wash
ingtoa the latter part OF September.
Interest is also felt in the rumor that en-.
forced retirement will remove the charming
wife Of Senator Depew from the capital
rather too carly for the society people, who
have became 60 fond of her during her short
season here and who will remain in Wash
ington until the close of Congress. Just where
General CoTbin and his charming wife will
spend their quiet summer has not been de-
cided, but with the young and beIutifll wife
Of the Belgian minister, Baroness Moncheur,
che will be able to enter upon next winters
brilliant social season with new intesest and

schedule OF the stork in these households,
