IN SOCIETY VIA PARADISE.
As Depicted BY Description Of
White House Decorations.
MISS ALICE ROOSEVELT "OUT."

Washington, Jan. 5,-Miss Alice
Roosevelt, the eldest daughter of Pres
ident and Mrs. Roosevelt, was formally
presented to Washington society at a
ball given in her honor at the White
House. About 500 guests in all were
present, many of whom either were
connections of the Roosevelt family or
well known society people living OUT
side of Washington.
Miss Roosevelt is the first White
House debutante since 1873, when Miss
Nellie Grant, the daughter Of Presi-
dent and Mrs. Grant, was presented to
society at ball which was the gayeSt
social event of the decade.
The entertainment was given per-
sonal rather than a formal character
by Mrs. Roosevelt, whose wish was
that Miss Roosevelt should make her
debut much as though it had taken
place in her own private home, rather
than in the White House. There was
no cotillon and consequently no favors.
When the ball was opened the in
terror of the White House was most
attractive. Never before have the
floral decorations been more beautiful.
The massive mirrors, chandeliers, col
umns and ceiling of the East room,
where the dancing occurred, were
festooned and garlanded with smilax,
maiden hair fern and asparagus. More
than mile of green festooning was
used in this way. The window re-
cesses were filed with palms, rising
out of banks of variegated foliage.
The mantels were banked with roses
and azaleas set in tropical cfetons and
crowned above with screw pines.
English holly was used in profusion in
the decorations. The red, green and
blue parlor also were adorned on the
same lavish scale.

caddies for the golfers. There was a
good deal Of discussion as to the mer-
its and dement's of caddies, which was
interrupted by the conductor coming
to collect fares. The boys hurriedly
dived into their pockets, but the smart

A Now Swindle.

Atchison, Jan. IA new swindle has
been worked here. Most of the mer-
chants of Atchison received letters
containing list of certain coins which
were quoted as worth from $50 to
81, 900. The name of fictitious firm
in the east was signed to the circular.
The letters were really mailed at Nor
tonville. A seedy looking stranger
appeared at various stores and made
purchases, throwing out one of the
valuable coins on the counter with the
other change In a number of cases
the merchants, remembering the cir
cu,ar they had received, bought the
coins at prices ranging from So to $40.
The confidence man then disappeared.
b. p. Waggener says by the smooth
system under which the scheme is
worked the fellow cannot be convicted
of a crime An attempt will no doubt
be made to work the same confidence
game in other localities.

THE DOWAGER EMPRESS.
Has Not Learned Lesson of Reform
From the WLr.

PeIin, Jan. 4.-Scveral recent occur
rences tend to discourage the hope that
the dowager empress had learned les
son of reform from the events of the
past year. Foreigners are disposed to
take pessimistic view of the outlook.
General Yung LUIS determination to
organize two anti-foreign army corps
to offset the commands of the pro-for-
eign Chinese leaders, is. particularly
disquieting and in evidence of the
continued domination of his influence,
which is bitterly anti-foreign.
Other influences which are consider
ed significant, arc the suppression Of
the only independent newspaper in this
city, by order of the governor of Pebin,
and the closing of the industrial school
here, recently organized by philan-
thropic Chinese, also by the governors
order.
This school was intended for the
training of destitute youths.

Morley. "She said it was murder, and
nothing short of that would have
frightened our Mary"
She had leaned upon Jack Meadows
and left the room, and Jack was happy

happy that in her trouble, whatever it
was, she should have distinguished
him before all Others, as if he were
her natural protector.
