Mrs. Potter Palmer is not to return to
 Chicago for the holiday season, says Town and Country of Chicago's famous
 social leader. About a month ago she in-
 timated this 10 some of her friends Tn
 Chicago, and since then she has made her decision. This means that for the first
 time in many years-how many no one of her friends seem to know-the great
 mansion up or the Lake Shore drive will
 have no Yuletide festivities. In years
 past Mrs. Palmer has even made extra
 efforts in rushing back from her seasons
 abroad in order to reach Chicago in holi- day time, but this year she has deter mined to remain at her Florida winter place near Sarasota, and her family Will go to her instead. Her father, MT II. II. Honore, has been with her for the past two months. Her younger son, MT. Potter Palmer, with Mrs Palmer and their two babies, Potter, Jr., and tiny Bertha mamed for her famed grandmotheD, al ready have gone to Sarasota. In truth the two sons have built cottages there also, and Mr. and Mrs. Hon0re Palmer, with their two small sons, Potter d'Orsay
 and Honore, Jr. (who had his christening party this falD, will leave early in De- | cember. MT. Adrian Honore, Mrs. Pal | mer's brother, will go down in December l also, and the family Christmas tree and | festivities will be away from the city and it's throngs. Mrs. Palmer has been living in cottage down near Sarasota, pending the building of her own residence. | Mrs. Palmer in a cottage is one of the 1n- congruities seemingly, yet she has taken delight in turning her back on the courts | of Europe and the turmoil of the cities, and is enjoying to the fullest her new | life in the country. If she succeeds in surrounding herself with her children and their children, there Is a feeling among her friends that the scenes of her former triumphs will see little of her | in the future. According to these friends I she has satisfied her ambitions as to the | foreign social life and she is tired of the limelight of publicity. She is finding content in a corner of the world where she may live her own life without public obligation or interference or curiosity. A Washington letter has this reference
 to Miss Mary Southerland, who has local
 connections:
 Miss Mary Southerland, whose engage | ment is just announced, to MT. Louis
 Bacon of Boston, is the youngest daugh- 1 ter of Rear Admiral w. H. H. Souther-
 land made her debut. Since then she has circled the globe with her mother and elder sister, who followed the American | fleet on its famous journey of four years ago. She is an intimate friend of Miss Helen Taft, whom she visited at Beverly early in the autumn, and an especial l favorite with the German Ambassador and Countess von Bernstorff, for whose | daughter she served as bridesmaid last | spring. She is already well known and | popular in Boston, where she has recent
 ly been the guest of Mrs Francis Crown
 inshield, and from childhood has passed
 her summers on the Massachusetts north
 shore.''

 count of the engagement of Miss Gailor
 and MT. Robert w. Daniel Daniel of
