Washington, Oct. 16.-The social sea-
son proper, which in Washington be-
gins on Jan. 1, will be short this year
Ash Wednesday of 1904 falling on Feb.
17;-but all indications point to an I'M
usually merry one. 1t is asserted that
several new members of Congress of
ample wealth, have announced mag
nificent intentions in the way of en-
tertaining. OF late years, you know,
ed themselves on making no parade
of their worldly goods, but have lived
in dignified, quiet, almost in obscurity
at the National Capital. Here as else
where, it is generally the nouveau who
make the most show. In the cabinet
circle, the addition of three new fami-
lies, and the return to society of
several ladies' who have been in mourn
ing the past two or three years, promi-
ises to again make official lige the
stately pageant that it used to be from
New Years Day to Ash Wednesday.
Besides all this, a large number OF
wealthy men and women from other
cities have of late years chosen to
make washington winter resort, ana
several families, of national reputa-
ton as munificent entertainers, have
already taken large houses here with
a view to their share in the winters
hospitality. The Roosevelts can all
ways be counted on to keep up their
end of the social burden magnificently,
and have already begun their Gus
tomary series of small dinner parties,
as a prelude to greater events to come
Evening receptions, unless accom-
panied by dancing and music, are now
infrequent occurrences at the Capital;
but the afternoon tea still holds its
own, being such a convenient way of
paying off small obligations and Of
rounding up the entire family ac-
quaintance to meet the debutante
members of the household. There are
no such things as ball nowadays; they
are called small Dances" however
great the crush: and here the fash
ION prevails of preceding the dancing
by a dinner, or musicale for select
few, the majority being invited for 10
or IL o'clock.

The marriage of Senator Thomas c.

versationalist and always extremely
well dressed. The marriage was first
set for ONt. &c. but remembering later
that the date fell on Friday, hang
