WASHINGTON. ID. C., Nov. 10
Social Washington is busy getting its
house in order" and an atmosphere of
hustle, and industry prevails through
out the fashionable residence circles.
| Repellant boards and bars are being
taken down from windows and doors
and inviting curtains and smiling foot
/ men are rapidly taking their place.
Society is coming home for the
winter, but so far, though there are
new arrivals every day, household
duties have had first claim. and there
has been no time for entertaining.
Mrs. Nagel, wife of the Secretary of
Commerce and Labor, and the first
Cabinet hostess to arrive after her
Summers outing, was joined during
the week by Mrs. Wickersham, who
spent a few days in New York with
the Attorney General, attending the
naval review, after closing her sum-
mer home at Cedarhurst, L. !.
The Secretary OF State and Mrs.
Knox have arrived from Japan via
Seattle. Mrs. Knox availed herself of
4 the opportunity to accompany her
i husband, who was designated as a
Especial representative Of the govern
ment at the funeral of the Mikado.
i Mrs. Meyer, wife of the Secretary Of
/ the Navy, was in New York for the
naval review, accompanied by her two
charming daughters, but changed her
plans at the last minute, and, instead
of accompanying the Secretary to the
Capital, went back to their summer
home at Hamilton, Mass, until after
the election.
Each day marks the return of one
or two Of the diplomats An unusual
number of changes have taken place
In the personnel of the corps during
the summer, and many familiar faces
will be missed at the New Year re-
ception In the White House tits
i winter.
The French ambassador, NJ. Jus
Iserand, who returned from Europe
just recently, will succeed Baron Hen
gelmuller, the Austro-Hungary envoy;
/ as dean of the corps. AS yet there
has been no successor named to sue
coed the baron. who retired from the
service to make his future home in
his own country. One or two changes
have been made In the staff which he
left behind him. Lieut.. Commander
Maximillian Burstyn becoming naval
attache in place of the popular Baron
Preuschen,' who has been ordered to
sea duty.
At the British embassy the staff
this year includes two new members,
the new naval attache. Capt. Heath
cote 8. Grant, who came early in the
summer just before Captain Sowerby' S
departure. and Lieut.. Col Moreton r.
Gage. who fills the post LEFT vacant
by Lieut. Col. McLachIane several
months ago. Both are accompanied
by their wives and will undoubtedly
take an active part in the festivities
of the younger married set, having
taken houses which are eminently fit
ted for entertaining.
Mrs: Henderson,s interesting colony
Of fashionable residents in upper Six
teeath street Just north of her own
i'baausonle fesidence, Boundary Castle,
will be augmented this year by the
Spanish Minister and Nine. Riano, who
returned from Europe early in order
to get established in their new home.
The Secretary of the Treasury and
Mrs. Macveagh and the French AM
bassador and Nine Jusserand, who
have been established there for some
time, and Mrs. Marshall Field, who
has just taken six-year lease on one
of the houses, will be their almost i'm
mediate neighbors.
The minister of Denmark and
EoItuto<c Mo1fko u,l<, d<,,,o ~ al e.. A. =.
formers new post at Berlin during
the summer, will be greatly missed
from the vicinity. They established
the legation there Immediately on
their arrival three years ago, and the
countess, who was an enthusiastic
horsewoman and pedestrian, was a IA
miliar figure in the neighborhood.
Rock Greek Park is just back of the
hill, and there she took her walk or
ride every morning, rain or shine,
often alone, sometimes accompanied
by the minister or their little daugh-
ter, and sometimes by BOTH, !.
Engagements are still in the air and
Gates for the weddings of those al
ready announced are coming out daily.
| Announcement was made of the be.
trothal of Miss Jean Oliver, daughter
of Senator Oliver of Pennsylvania,
and Lieut.. Com. Edward McCauley, Jr.,
u. s. ~, and confirmation was OBJ
tanned of the rumor afloat anent Miss
Laura Merriam and James F. Curtis,
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury.

early winter. H..

nuptials of Miss Harriet Bayne, daugh.
ter of Mrs. John w. Bayne, and the
