SOCIAL AND CLUB MATTERS.
Mrs. Harrington en,sr,aIns.

The most unique and artistically
planned affair OF the season was the
courtesy OF Mrs. II. II. Harrington.
OF College Station. Thursday after
noon. when she assembled her friends
from Bryan and College TO enjoy a
couple OF hours OF her charming hos
pitality.
The home Of President and Mrs.
Harrington is admirably adapted for
entertaining. and the lavish decora-
tons but accentuated the beauty OF
the furnishings OF the house. With
the good taste and charming style.
for which Mrs. Harrington Is distin-
guished. the reception suite was deco
rated with a profusion of holly and
mistletoe. whose red and white ber-
ries CLEANED effectively among the
rich. glossy. Green foliage. The
guests were received at the door by
Master Ross. the handsome young
son OF President and Mrs. Harrington.
His greeting was so cordial and manly
that one felt twas good to have
crossed the threshold of this hospita-
Bile home.
In the hall Mrs. Harrington stood
with her sister. Mrs. Frank Clarke.
Of Bryan. and with warm hand clasp
and bright smile again gave each
guest gracious greeting A profus-
ion OF palms and ferns decorated the
hall. the punch bowl occupying COY
corner. and presided over by two
fsiry.like little ladies.--Misses Virgin
Ia Spence and Alma Giesecke. This
attractive feateure of the afternoon
was most unique. an ornamental
block OF ice hallowed out In the center
forming the bowl. which held the de.
licious fruit punch. Around the base
was n garland CT holly and mistletoe.
The chandeliers were. gracefully
draped with long. gray moss. mistle-
toe and spingeri. Red and green so
suggestive OF the Christmas tide.
were the key notes everywhere. and
were defty and artistically blended
and cabinets were banked with holly.
maiden hair ferns and cut flowers.
and the windows filed with palms
and ferns. with crystal bowls of sa.
cred lilies and potted plants were al.
so In evidence.
Forty.two and euchre were the d.
versions OF the afternoon and proved
thoroughly absorbing TO seventy-five
guests grouped around the tables.
During the afternoon Mrs. Harrington
mingled constantly among the guests.
her wonderful personality proving n
veritable mascot at each table near

sion OF the game the score kept by

PITY PHILADELPHIA.

Poor Old Philadelphia" sighs The Hartford Courant. contemplating the present condition and future prospects of the old city. Mayor Reyburn. the new official, has just taken his seat. and his inaugural address was full of promises and high-sounding phrases
 Among other things, he solemnly as-' sured his hearers that all the means at his command would be used ito the present and future welfare of the city, and the greater prosperity, comfort and hapiness of all the people, On this, The Courant makes comment as follows:
 Actions continue to speak louder than words The address over, Mayor Rey- burn swore in his directors. Either he they were chosen for him by the heads of the Organization. The Director of Public Works Is George R. Stearns. The have control of the police and fire de- partments during the Reyburn admin istration, is Henry Clay. The Director s. Naff. The Director of Supplies IS Joseph H. Klemmed. All four are ''stafwarts;" that is. all the exposures morals and the public treasury have made no impression upon their stolid regularity" Sterns, architect and en- gineer, is pronounced the best of the lot, and The Public Ledger says of him that he has been. professionally asso- ciated in some of the corporate enter prises Of the financial packer of the Organization. the banker who financed the Reyburn campaign and to whom the Organization, by the official state ment, Is largely in debt" Dr. Neff is spoken of as ''amiable," and in politics much such a negative quantity as the Mayor himself. Joseph H. Klemmer is described as a gang trusty and the bosom friends of "Izzy" Durham. Of Director Clay, whose task it will be to politics" for all they are worth, the Hon. Charles Emory Smiths paper tells us: He Is not an unknown-far from 1t. He is very much known. If a champion of the service corporations is needed-7electric. gas; transit-he is eminently qualified If defender of the most glaring acts of the Machine is wanted, he is conspicuously fitted"

HUNDLEY,s APPOINTMENT.

President Roosevelt is always doing surprising things. One never nows just what he may do next, or how incon- with something else that he has done.
 His action in appointing o. R. Hund- ley to the new North Alabama judge ship Is fresh Illustration. It Is most surprising that the President should have even seriously considered Hund- fused to confirm him for the District Attorneyship. And the appointment Is most inconsistent with his attitude four years ago, when he could not find a fit Republican to fill the vacancy he selected Judge Jones for.
 In making the appointment of Hund- ley, the President overran the protests of practically the entire Alabama Con- gressional delegation, and of a great many other leading Democrats. Sena- tor Pettus voiced this protest to the President in strong words only few days ago. From various other sources went up appeals to appoint some other Republican So the President has sim ned against light and knowledge in this second nomination. He has vir- tually challenged the Senate to fight on the matter, and there is little doubt that it will come.
 The President seems to have recog- nized the questionability of his action, for, with the nomination, he issued a defense of it. With the appointment was given out long list of endorsers- a most unusual thing. It must be ad- mitted that this list is surprising. as it contains the names of a great many prominent Alabama Democrats. We understand that some of them are al- ready stating that their endorsements were for the District Attorneyship, and not for the Judgeship. Some of them are said to have been given several years ago, when the President turned Hundley down and appointed Judge Jones. But no matter when or how they were given, it Is very probable that many of the writers are now re- gretting their action. There are some Democrats who make 1t rule never to endorse any Republican for an of fee, and in the light of the present situation, it looks as if 1t was a pretty safe rule to follow.
 The action of the President may be due to the stress of political weather. It may be part of his undertaking to name his successor. Certainly there must be some strong reason for his ex- traordinary course in this matter. He may force the Senate to confirm his ap- pointment, but the prospect is certainly not a promising one.
