simply the visiting cards of the be-
trothed couple In sealed envelopes and
without comment. The idea has been
received with great favor and bids fair
to be generally adopted.
So prevalent has the habit of break
fasting in bed in the east, says an east
ern exchange, or, at least, in the priv
acy Of ones own room, become that q
prominent hostess has conceived the
brilliant idea Of having her breakfast
menus placed the previous night in
each guests room, with the request
affixed that, as early as possible. the
occupant should intimate to the SER
wants what she desires served to her,
and at what hour.

The separation OF the Marlborough
comes as something of surprise to
newspaper readers in this country. No
International wedding, perhaps, ever
attracted more interest than that of
Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt to the young
and highly esteemed duke of Marl-
borough, sOlemnized eleven years ago
next month. The marriage was happily
free from the strictly commercial air
which has characterized other similar
alliances. 1t was said to be love
match. and there seemed no reason
why the young couple should not set
tie down to a happy married life.
Not many American wives of titled
husbands have made such a place for
themselves in the land of their adop-
ton as has the young duchess of
Marlborough. An active supporter of
charities, q conscientious and intelli-
gent worker for the tenants of the
Blenheim estate and general favorite
in society, she has made herself ex-
tremely popular. Rumor has it, in
deed, that she became too popular to
suit her husbands taste The duke
saw himself partially eclipsed, and this
did not match with his own strong am
biticns. 1t appears, also. that he has
an inferior opinion OF Americans as
contrasted with the British nobility,
and has never been backward about
making this point of view plain. So
unhappiness gradually appeared in the
ducal household.
Their final disagreement, just an
nounced, lisa matter of regret. Few
Anglo-American matches have been
made under such favorable auspices.

Unique Entertainments ut Minot.
Probably never before in the social
history of Minot has there been given
such a charming affair with the beau
tiful and appropriate appointments as
four of Minots popular young mat
rons. members of the Literary club,
gave Tuesday evening in homer of the
birthday anniversaries of two fellow
members of the club. The birthday
guests We're Mrs. Prescott and Mrs.
Batty and the ladies who so success
fully entertained were Mrs. Il. B.
WEIGH, Mrs. F. b Lambert. Mrs. S.
Henry Wolfe and Mrs. E. B. Goss
1t was a Halloween affair from the
invitations decorated with black cats
and witches in which the guests were
hidden to come to the homes of Mrs.
WEIGH and Mrs. Lambert at their
apartments in the Parker fiat on
south Ramstad street to the last rays
of spookey light which shown from
a jack-O-lantern in front window
which babe the guests a witchy good
night.
The rooms in Mrs. Welches' home
were decorated in true Halloween
style. On the walls were great black
cats, creepy black faces. wise old
owls and innumerable other objects
symbolic of the day. Tall vases of
chrysanthemums graced every nook
and corner and trailing smilax wound
itself around the chandeliers and diff
ferent decorations while over all the
