Few dances given this season have been more thoroughly enjoyed than the german given by Miss Jessie Wat erman last night at her home on West Fifth avenue, complimentary to her guest, Miss Theresa Frauenthal, of Conway. The Waterman home was attractively decorated with flowers and palms and the double parlors con verted into a ball room. The affair was largely attended, about forty cou- ples being numbered among the guests. The german was led by Miss Frauenthal, the honoree, and Sam Solmson. Notwithstanding the warm weather the double parlors were thrown open and dancing made pleas ant and enjoyable. Miss Waterman was assisted in receiving by her mother, Mrs. Gus Waterman, and sis ter, Miss Dora Waterman. Miss Frau enthal is a most charming young lady and during her brief stay in the city has made many friends The german will long be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to be. num- bered among the guests.

From letters and kilograms received by

Mourning at Court.
The fact that the Austrian emperor or
dered three weeks mourning for the late
queen OF Hanover, and that he went In
person to Gmunden for the funeral ia prob
ably as near a demonstration against
Prussia as such an Rniable monarch as
Franz Josef would care to go. Ten days
mourning Is the usual limit at the Vienna
court and three weeks period amounts to
a catastrophe for the court purveyors and
tradespeople in the Austrian capital The
court ball was countermAnded and that in
itself is a severe loss to the city. The
number Of guests at court ball AZ the
Hofburg is about 1900. The supplies take
Gargantuan proportions. The venison alone
consists of the thirty-five roe deer, which
form the principal item on the cold buffet.
In addition there are Ash circuit sal
mon and turbot. game OF all kinds, roast
beef, picked tongue and pate de foie

Those bufrets are for the guests under
