try home at Pennington, Conn.

abouts for the past five months gives as
yet no evidence of being broken. But it
is the time of times for the informal enter
tanning theater parties and kindred small
gatherings that are more enjoyed than
the big jams later on. Only a few large
weddings are scheduled for this month.
The debut parties that are already in
progress in Baltimore and near future dates
announced in other cities will be unheard
of here until December or Thanksgiving
week. Just how many of these interesting
young persons are to challenge the popular
admiration this winter is as yet undeter
mined, but unless all signs fail there will
be fewer than for several years back.

attracting the usual autumn crowds, and
nearly every fashionable household is rep
resented Outdoor life of a strenuous char
acter is the fad of the hour between sea-
sons, although many whose claim to social
distinction Is quite great as the absentees
are having no end of comfortable time
here at their homes.
Already the diplomatic circle begins to
widen at the capital, although until close

Belen AzpiroZ is looking forward with great
pleasure to her debut. which event, the
very first of It's kind in Mexican diplo
matte household here, is set for middle
December. She is a very charming repre-
sentative of people and family greatly
admired and esteemed at this capital.
The italian ambassador and Baroness des
Planches are here, but may do more travel
ing before the season begins. The Austrian
ambassador and family will nearly finish
this month at Lenox and then after New
York visit, be in Washington for the win

April. He has achieved, however, such sin
