 A number of guests from New York
 went to Louisville, Ky, for the wedding l Of Miss Rosalie Thompson and Harold l Connett Nashburn, son of MT. and Mrs.
 Jacob Washburn of this city, which was
 celebrated at the home of the brides
 parents, MT. and Mrs. William Warriner Thompson, in Louisville, on October 24. Beginning with the opening night of the opera, November B, and followed on November IS with the opening of the annual horse show at Madison Square
 Garden-the last of these exhibitions to
 take place. in the old building before 1t is torn down-socety will find itself
 plunged in the midst of aan avalanche of debutante teas, receptions and dances,
 which will last well into the holidays.
 Naturally, there is much rivalry among
 the debutantes in regard 10 the affairs to be given for them, and the possibility of conflicting dates is matter of grave concern. for it would never do to have two big dances come off the same night. Several receptions on the same afternoon
 cannot sometimes be avoided. especially
 when every girl wants to make her bow
 on Saturday. Dinners and other affairs
 may be arranged for the same evening,
 but it is quite different in the case of
 dances, for although the list of the win
 ter's buds is a formidable one, there
 are really not enough of them to permit
 of such rival attractions.
 The older women can entertain with
 absolute disregard of one another. for
 their friends can ''go on to the differ
 ent affairs, enjoy a dance at one house. supper at another, and arrive at a third
 in time for the cotillion With the girls,
 however, it is quite different. To insure q brilliant ball for them all must be pres- .7s naturally all of the dancing men.
 This being the case, mothers with
 daughters to present are anxiously studying the calendar at the present and watching one anothers entertaining
 moves like chess players do their rivals.
 New dates are being daily announced
 and already the debutantes have their
 engagement books well filled.
 Note must be made of the advent of
 three perfectly new members of socity
 Mir. and Mrs. Arthur Scott Burden were
 presented with a little son. Mir. and
 Mrs. Anthony J. Drexel introduced their
 little daughter to the world at the resi-
 dence of Mrs. Drexels parents, MT. and
 Mrs. George Jay Gould and MT. and
 Mrs. Samuel Stevens Sands were made
 happy by the arrival of a little son at their apartments No. 49 East Fifty-sec- end street. Mrs. Sands was Miss Ger rude Sheldon and the newcomer is a
 grandson Of Mrs William K. Vanderbilt,
 Sr., Mir Sands being her son by her first husband. All these young people
 have made their appearance on or near Fifth avenue. And there are others. The Georgia society of the city of New York opened it's social programme for the current season with vaudeville and
 dance at the Hotel Plaza. More than 400 members and their friends attended. James r. Allen, president of the society had as his guests that evening the Hon. John Slaton, president of the senate of the Georgia legislature Mr. Slaton was recently urged to run for governor of l Georgia at the next election, but declined the nomination out of friendship for Jo- seph Brown, former governor, who has announced his intention of trying to re- gain the chief executive seat at the ] polls.
 1 Presidents of all the state societies or gdnized in this city were invited by MT. Allen to attend the function, and most of them were present.
 | The first informal meeting of the l Stonewal Jackson chapter of the Chil- l dren of the Confederacy was held Sat l nrday afternoon at the apartments of ] Mrs Robins Allen Lau, director general I of the organization at the Hotel New- I ton.
 1 The Stonewal Jackson chapter is junior organization of the Children of the 1 Confectionery and is composed of a num- her or young southern people who are
 paying for the education of poor children l ,n the mountains of the south. mum | Der of Christmas boxes are sent off eaen 1 year to proteges of the society. The annual dance for the benefit of the edu-
 cational fund is one of the most enjoy l able affairs of the club season.
