A FAMILY FAMOUS IN
 HISTORY AND SOCIETY

Madame Bonapartes continued illness in her Washington home is a matter which interests society in every quarter. Hers is one of the most picturesquely interesting family in this country. Everybody knows the history of pretty Betsy Patterson, the great belle and beauty of Baltimore society more than century ago, and Jerome Bonaparte, and the social prestige of the Bonapartes of Washington and Baltimore is known te all persons of prominence in the east. Madame Bona parte's son and daughter, MT. Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte and the Countess de von Moltke Huitfeldt of Denmark, are at her bedside. They are the only descend- ants in this generation of the one-time King of Westphalia and his American wife, Betsy Patterson. They are on ex- cellent terms with their French rela- tives. as was their late father with the third Napoleon. The Jerome Bonaparte of today is one of Washington's distinct- ly eligible bachelors. With his famous name and large fortune he inherits, be- sides many of the sterling qualities of his maternal great grandfather, Daniel Webster, and the long line of New Eng land patriots of his mothers family. Hon, Charles J. Bonaparte of Baltimore, the former Secretary of the Navy, IS brother of the late Colonel Bonaparte

NOW BEGINS THE
 SEASON OF THE BUTTERFLIES

Inst now the most interesting person. ages in the world social are the buds. Who will be debutantes and who will not is the question occupying the minds of most members of the younger set in the larger and smaller cities and those who have been declared ready to make their formal bows at some time during the season are objects of decided in- terest. In the New York smart set the 6ebutantes whose parents have large country places are prone to choose an early date for their den teas and have them out of town while the suburbs are gay in the reds, yellow and artistic browns of their autumnal dress. The races and horse shows and large teas at this season are notable, to. for the presence of the debutantes, many cf whom have their first glimpse of the social world as they flutter among the guests.
 New York is to have an exceptionally long list of young girls who are to mak- their debuts this winter. The roster con tains many interesting names as we'll. Town and Country magazine mentions q great many in an autumn number, say ing, however, that:
 There is n long list of young girls who are to make their debuts this winter. Changes are sometimes made in arrange ments for teas and dances at a late hour and once fin while some mother deems it wiser to wait over for another season. So that even in the correctly compiled lists there are apt to be mistakes. The names of many of the debutantes have

SOCIETY, LIKE SAILORS, USED TO ALL KINDS OF WEATHER

Society was out en masse to see
 the riding, the lighting, the driving,
 the Indians, the Turks and Buffalo Bill yesterday afternoon. It rained as 1t never rained before, the cars broke
 down, the mud was deep, everybody
 was good natured, everybody got wet and everybody laughed at everybody
 else. There were winter hats to be seen; summer hats, old hats. new hats,
 old clothes, new clothes, coat suits and lingeries. There were hose of every color and style. The cars and au- tomoboles were crowded. There mere mud and water, "dago" sandwiches, pink lemonade, peanuts and fried fish; but best of all there was never such riding! It was a test of horsemanship for they rode when the rain fell in torrents. They rode through mud foot thick and they rode when it looked as if the horses should swim instead of run. Everyone enjoyed 1t because everyone was good natured. Someone remarked as four of Birmingham pret- tiest society women passed by that
 this is a real test of good looks. A
 woman who looks pretty in this and
 at this time can look pretty anywhere
 and any time" This four looked pretty
 anyway.

COLONEL CODY MEETS
 BIRMINGHAM FRIENDS

An interesting party witnessing the presentation of the Wild West shows yesterday attended as guests of Col William F. Cody-the famous Buffalo Bill''-invited through Miss Ethel Armes. Colonel Cody is an old time friend of Miss Armes' father, Colonel Armes of Washington, D. c. In the early '70s he was Il member of the Seventh cavalry, U. S. A., and was @ scout in Colonel Armes' company-indeed at that time the starr scout of Kansas. It was during those years just after the civil war when Colonel Cody was a member of the National Guards that he earned his title because of the many buff faloes that he brought into camp, and at the same time formed an associa- a- tion with Colonel Armes. It was Miss Armes' intention to entertain at break fast at one of the clubs for Colonel Cody, a hospitality which Gen Louis V. Clark would have extended with her jointly, but other engagements made it impossible for the veteran scout to spare the time to be a guest. Miss Armes and her little party motored out, however, were presented to Buff falo Bill in his tent and afterward occupied seats among interested spec tators

I I looked at Colonel Cody and the colonel looked at me. He was sitting at his desk in the camp 'headquarters' just back of the big tent. His gray slcuch hat was pushed back from his high forehead, and that eagle eye we read So much about flashed with very plesant humor.
 He was perfectly stunning looking.
 Saii |: "Don't you remember me, colonel?''
 The colonel rose to the occasion as he Invariably does. "Ye-es,' he said, with gallant sweep of the sombrero Ut really was just like that, but youv grown a good deal"'
 chuckled a little to nlyself-ever so little The colonel-who is as quick as / chained lightning-perceived the situa- tion. 'Take seats,' he said, drawing up the camp stools for Peggy and me, "and I'll let you know how it is. All the girls ask me that so what am I going to do? If I say don't remember them why they don't like 1t! Sometimes they will say, colonel met you in Paris when I was years old-don't you remember me-? Or else it's New York when they were eight. or London, or Cairo or Berlin. Of course remember. What else can I do? Why here in Birmingham last evening when ran down to the hotel to meet my mining friends a eyoung lady on horseback was passing and she stopped and suddenly asked me if I remembered her, and,' the colonel sighed.

Her eyes lad been caught by the coloners wonderful jewels, a. royal coat of arms, scarf pin in diamonds, diamond studded watch, and rich signet rings.

 Buffao Bill has a really remarka- 'ble collection of gifts, souvenirs and "persoal expectations from celebri ties of all the nations; jewels, pictures, horses, trappings, all sorts of things. All Eufope went daffy, you know, over the Wild West show and Buffalo Bill. He wtse dined and wined by l don't know now many kings and princes.

 NO! No!' said Peggy, "dont ever say that colonel!''
 "Yes" said the colonel, "I'm going to retire. I've got to look after my other interests, mines. hotels, ranches.

 Just at this moment the colonel re- ceived special message from Gen. Louis V. Clark, brigadier general com manding the Alabama National Guard Colonel Cody was himself the brigadier general of the Nebraska guards not long since and is the friend of all the big army men of. the country United States army and state militia.
 1T should think" said Peggy, "all the adulation and applause you get MT. Buff falo Bill, would turn your head-but- it hasn't" Whereupon the colonel turned the compliment, but left me quite utterly out.
 I walked over to see "Isham," the colonel's horse, past the cowboys the cossacks, the Indians, the Mexicans-all those wonders of wonders. And I met Major Lilly, otherwise Pawnee Bill, who is one of the most delightful and in- teresting of men and who, next to Buffalo Bill, is the great attraction of the Wild West show. The major and talked west and horses and Indians and all sorts of things like that-the most interesting things in the world-after all.
