NEW YORK. Dec. 26.-Andrew Car

the world after having spent yesterday
at his home in Fifth avenue, surrounded
by relatives and friends:
.Mr. Carnegie congratulates the

is moreover a mighty good looking
girl. tall and well formed and blessed
with a glorious complexion, lots of soft
hair, and beautiful eyes. She dresses
very well, but not extravagantly.
"The stateliest girl in town is the
phrase best suited-~to Miss Martha
Bacon, daughter of the assistant sec
retary of state and Mrs. Bacon. Miss
Bacon is rather serious looking young
person who wears beautiful and becom-
ing clothes and does the proper and ac-
cepted things in the most graceful man
ner possible.
Miss Carrie Louise Mum is the chic
member of the group. Her mother first
married an Armour of Chicago, and
therefore the Munns are terribly rich.
They maintain beautiful home in
Washington and Miss Mum has more
pretty clothes than she knows what to
do with. She is a bright, quick witted,
fun loving girl, quite the gayest of Miss
Roosevelt's intimates. She has very
pretty complexion, masses of dark hair
and merry blue eyes--in fact she is a
good deal of an Irish beauty, her re-
trousse nose giving her bright face an
added touch of piquancy.
- Miss Mum visits Miss Roosevelt and
Miss Roosevelt visits Miss Num-, and so
generally friendly were the families
that the report got out this fall that
Miss Mum and Theodore Jr. had fixed
things up matrimonially. Miss Mum s
three brothers denied the reported en-
Fgagement. and the next thing that
turned up was quiet whisper to the
effect. that Miss Roosevelt had definitely
decided, on her life partner.
Not a word OF truth in that is the
instant response, however, of all Miss
Roosevelts more. intimate friends when
the query is made to them
Altogether. Washington has not had
such debutante good times in years as
are on the boards this season and
everything is settling down for grand
Roosevelt finale.
Miss Marjorie Aleshire and her good
friend, Miss Margaret Niche, bowed
recently at the same tea, and all the
army girls in town and all the army
matrons saw to it that the occasion
was momehtous. General and Mrs. Ale
shire and Captain and Mrs Niche
formed the supplementary group, while
the chief figure at the function was
Miss Helen Taft, daughter of the
president elect and Mrs. Taft.
Miss Helen went over to the Bar

day after left for school at Bryn Mawr.

The president and Mrs. Roosevelt

the official round of dinners is on, the
scant two months of the present regime

Now that Mrs Roosevelt has9 an-

the Chpistmas holidays.
As the final member of Miss
Roosevelt's list of associates comes
petite Miss Parker, whose grandmother
was a friend of Miss Roosevelt's grand
mother when the two ladies were young
girls down in Georgia. Miss Parker
and Miss Roosevelt spend a lot of time
together. Neither wished to come out,
for each was having good enough
time with her books and her music and
her out of door sports. Miss Ethel is a
famous tennis player and she will ride

The same day witnessed the formal
advent of Miss Amylita Talbot of San
Francisco. Miss Talbot had the smart
est sort of a coming out with half the
swagger' matrons of the city to support
her and her attractive mother. Preced-
ing her own tea, Miss Talbot was guest
or honor at a smart little luncheon,
where the singing of a program of

No less person than Governor Joseph H. Kibbey himself has sound ei the death kuel! for Arizons's hope of early admission to the union. kibbey. who is now in Washington, says he does not believe the terri tory can get in at this session of congress.
 Kibbey made this positive ssate- ment in an interview given out in Washington last week-just few days after it was discovered that his annual report contained no ap- peal for single statehood for this territory.
 "I. is my opinion that it will be a difficult task to secure the passage in congress of bill to admit Arizona in- to the union this session of congress, said Kibbey.
 "It IS by no means sure thing, continued the governor, "ahd that IS one reason why we are here. What ever can be done to bring about state hood will be done. l could talk with you all night about the good things of Arizona and the resources ot the territory"
