BRIDAL PARTY ENTERTAINED.

The many charming social events and complimentary enter- tainments for the contracting parties in the Watson-Erwin nuptials have given local society a vim that keeps the social calen- dar crowded with items.
 One of the prettiest of these events was the luncheon given Tuesday evening by Dr. and Mrs. M. M. Erwin, assisted by their popular and gracious daughter, Miss Dove Erwin, when about forty intimate friends and rela- tives of the bride and groom-to- be, including the wedding party, enjoyed the hospitality of the Erwin home.
 This handsome residence, into which they have lately moved, was resplendent in the beauty of carnation decorations, placed to pretty effect in every nook and from every point of vantage, the color scheme being white and green. Smilax and the white carnations were lavish contribu- tors.
 The maximum of effective beauty was reached in the dining room, where from the corners of the table draped in rich satin damask ran cords of tull covered in smilax to the chandelier above. In the center of the table was beautiful vase of carnations, sur- rounded by eight candlesticks with green candles.
 An elaborate siX-coprse lunch con was we'll served at small ta- bles in the dining room by Misses Lizzie Irby, IIrna Wolf, Hazel Jones and pIlaidie Stephens. The menu was oyster cocktails, sara toga Fakes; turkey, dressing, cfsn' ,erry jelly. potatoe chips, cet cry, olives, heart-shaped ',read and butter sandwiches; chicken salad with whipped cream dressing served on lettuce or parsley, saratoga flakes, nut sandwiches, pickles; pineapple sponge, jelly in appropriate molds whipped cream, cake.
 The final course of coffee with cheese straws and rings tied to- gether in neat little green and white ribbons was served in the hallway by Mrs. M. J. Lucas, who presided over this table, tastily decorated in the white and green of mistletoe.

DISTRICT WILL BUILD
NEEDED FIRE ESCAPES
If Owners of Apartment Houses Delay
the Authorities Will Act
in Their Stead.

If the owners of apartment houses in
the District refuse to erect on their
structures the fire escapes which the
Building Inspector thinks demanded by
proper care for human life, the District
government Will take the matter in its
own hands, put up the escapes, and
charge the expense 10 the property.
The case which has developed this fact
is that of the Valois apartment house,
at 1880 Massachusetts Avenue north
west. : The District Commissioners to-
day approved the recommendation of
Capt. Chester Harding. assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner, III the cwner
OF the house be given a suitable length
of time in which to put fire escapes as
by the Building Inspector. with
warning that failure TO do so Will result
in the District having the Improvement
made and assessing the cost as a tax
against the property.
The Valois has lately passed into new
hands. Prior to this, the District Off
Gals had threatened 20 prosecute the
owner for neglecting to put the
escapes.

COMPLETELY COLLAPSED
Condition Now So Serious He Cannot
Call Chicago Convention
20 Order.

Dispatches were received at the Post
Office this morning indicating that the
condition of Postmaster General Henry
c. Payne is much more serious than Is
suspected, and that he may be compelled
TO retire to private Hfe.
According TO the dispatch his collapse
Is complete, and unless he gains mex
pected strength another will be asked to
call the to order. 1t is now
expected that despite his predictions to-
ward unintentiOnally tangling things.
Senator Nathan j. Scott. as chairman
OF the executive committee Of the Re
publican rational committee, will replace
MI. Payne, II the Postmaster General Is
not able 10 appear on the platform.
There is much speculation as 10 who
would succeed Mr. Payne, IN case a
vacancy should occur. II was said this
morning that, according 10 precedent.
the President would probably appoint
First Assistant ROBBERY J. Wynne for the
uneXpired term any way, and probably
Secretary Cortelyou at the end Of the
