Every time | write find myself enthus-
ing more and more about the dcbutantes.
Helen Bache Kmmell is my latest discovery.
She is the prettiest, dearest little girl you
ever saw, and I'm sending you picture Of
her and | know you'll agree. She is the
daughter of Commander Harry Kimmel!, u.
S. NJ, and Mrs. Kimmell, and she is going to
be presented at tea the day after Christ
mas. Numerous entertainments are being
arranged for her. Among them is dinner
dance, which your friend, Mrs. Ira Bennett,
is giving on December so, and luncheons
with Mrs. H. c. Ansley and Mrs. Kite as
hostesses, and then Dorothy Dobyns is going
to entertain at card party some time Christ
mas week.
Of course, there was quito a cool atmoS-
phere at some of the Cabinet "at-homes"
last week, because the news was bruited
about that they did not intend to return calls,
especially on the wives of the several hun
dred Congressman. But Mrs. Bryan's recep-
ton and several others took on mighty
honey, democratic look, and it is likely that
before the winter is half over these Wednes-
day events will be as popular in this Demo-
cratic Administration as in the Cleveland
days, when the whole of tine official world,
all the townSfOlk, and hundreds of strangers
from one end of the earth to the other drop
ped in and left cards and slipped tea Of
course, as several of the Cabinet women
have said, this general onslaught has its dis
advantages in that the people from out of
town never go to the trouble to make it
known on their cards and good, scarce time
is wasted IN chasing and racing over the Dis
trict for streets that ARE not
1t seems to me that the girls in Washing
ton are overlooking something. Did you
know that right in Washington today there
are two heirs to thrones and they are both
bachelors? Not the thrones, of course.
didn't know it, either, until some one was
telling me about it the other day Of course,
you remembep Jerome Bonaparte Well, he
is heir number one. He is the grandson Of
the brother of Napoleon, and if politics had
not changed in France he undoubtedly would
have been in line to the throne Count Au-
gustin lturbide, who lives over in George
town and teaches Spanish in the Georgetown
University, is the other. He is the heir to

to the moon. Of course, this wonderful new
dinner feature is explained when you recall
that Captain James is in charge of the Naval
Observatory, over beyond Georgetown, ana
that heNhas the wonderful Government tele-
scopes at his command. After the Dime.
and before the party went to the musicale
at the White House, Captain and Mrs. Jones
took them all to the room where the power
full instrument is kept, and they all said they
felt just like they had actually visited
strange, new country
So enraptured were society women with
the "Spug" meeting and the various meet
ings of the suffragists on Wednesday that
but mere handful greeted Mile. Parlow,
the great Russian violinist, and had they
come in full force earlier in the week, they
might even have robbed the Boston Sym
phony of its full house or broken up the bril-
liant attendance at the three big weddings OF
the week.
Lieut. William H. Santelman, who has
for some years directed the Marine Band,
says the standard of music has gradually
risen, until he now presents only classics on
his program for the more formal White
House entertainments OF course, for the
receptions, where the lively time is an in
centive for moving rapidly down the line,
marches and quick steps, and even up-to-
date ragtime is resorted to, but the band has
never done harder work, or given more ar
tistic results than for this winters program
Everybody seems so anxious to entertain
for the debutantes, that there was quite a
mix-up on dance dates for the emo of the
month, occasioned by Mrs. Henry F. Dimock
changing the date for the dinner dance which
she is to give for Helen Walcott on Decem-
ber 81 to December 20, thus taking the night
set aside by Mrs. Haywood and Miss Doris
Haywood for their annual Christmas dance.
While all of Mrs. Haywood's guests had been
invited, she accommodatingy changed hes
day to that formerly selected by Mrs.
Dimock.
Did YOU hear that Julia Whiting is just re-
covering from an operation for appendicitis?
She is. getting along finely now, and will be
out before very many days
Now must hustle along with this letter,
for want to 60 out to Mrs. |. T. Mann's at
o'clock. Mrs Mann is giving the first of
series of the dansantes this afternoon. In
stead of having her usual Saturdays at home
she has sent out cards for four Saturday
afternoon dances in December. Clever idea,
isn't it. Lots nicer than a regular day at
home. That is for the guests.
Very truly,

the throne of Mexico | couldn't begin to
tell you accurately all about how he is so, be-
cause my knowlegde of history is not all it
should be, but he is direct descendant of
Emperor lturbide of Mexico, who ruled there
ninety years ago. When troubles in Mexico
were quite as bad as they are there now,
Count Iturbide's ancestor came to Washing

ton and married Miss Green They settled
in Georgetown, and | am told that their
home, Rosedale, is still standing. The pres
ent Count Iturbide does not use his title, and
very few really know who he is. He is living
quite a retired life nowadays but he was
quite a society leader some few years ago.
He is probably Fifty years of age.
Mrs. Marshall, the wife of the Vice Pres
dent. lust seems to be winning friends right
and left, and her Wednesday reception this
week will be held in the lower drawing
rooms of Shoreham, so everyone can con-
veniently call who wishes. My but wish
you could see some of the perfectly charm
ing gowns Mrs. Marshall brought back from
Chicago know it sounds windy and West
ern, that Chicago, but certainly since Mrs.
Marshall will not buy imported gowns al
wraps she could nowhere else find such per-
fectly lovely and becoming things.
Elizabeth Moves was certainly pretty
little bride and John Thompson was such
handsome bridegroom. They were sweet
hearts from the time when they were little
bits of children; and it was very beautiful to
see them married
1t was great joy to the Moves family
to have Mrs. Crosby Noyes present at the
reception after the wedding She made
lovely picture in her white satin gown, which
was scarcely whittier than her hair, and when
she greeted the bride, who is favorits
grandchld, it was very touching.
Here is another engagement that will in;
terest YOU James H. Hilton announces the
engagement of his daughter, Miss Catherine
Salome Hilton, to Edgar Clark Campbell,
pay clerk in the Quartermaster Corps,
u. S. A.
How nice it is to have Anne Gleaves in
Washington again. Her father is command
ant at the Brooklyn navy yard now, you know.
She came down for the wedding of Helen
Downing and Lieutenant Osterhaus, on
Thursday, and is spending some time with
Isabel Magruder On Friday Anne and Kate
DuBose went down to Annapolis for the Of
fcers' hop, and all sorts of parties are being
given for her.
Of course, hate to say 81 told you so,
but do you remember what said couple
of weeks ago about Katherine Jennings and
Chauncey Hackett being engaged? Mr.. and
Mrs. Jennings announced the engagement on
Friday.
Capt. Joseph L. James, u. S. N, and Mrs
James have become the most novel hosts in
Washington, for when they entertained a
dinner party on Friday night in honor of the
Secretary Of the Navy and Mrs. Daniels
they took the entire dinner party on a trip
The Washington times., 1913-12-07

Next week will start with flourish for
debutantes, and for once the Navy will have
the advantage by presenting one of the most
attractive girls of Washington. She is Miss
Margaret Fechteler, daughter of Captain and
Mrs. Fechteler, who will have her coming
out on Monday. Mrs. Franklin K Lane,
wife of the Secretary of the Interior and be-
longing to the same California set to which
Mrs. Fechteler belongs, will give tea for
the debutante on December H. The follow
ing day Miss Margaret Britton will be intro
duced.
The Washington times., 1913-12-07

Things are rather dull down here now,
the weather and tine social calendar are
more suggestive of early October than early
December
The regular Wednesday dinner dances
at Chevy Chase Club draw larger crowds
than ever. Why, don't you know, some one
was telling me the other day that to save
your life you couldn't have put in another
table out there last Wednesday night?

MES Restraint of Trade.

r. I. Bedford, president Of the Corn
Products Refining Company. at the an
nual meeting of stockholders yesterday
I'm criticising the pending dissolution suit
against the company under the Sherman
antitrust law, declared that he saw no
cause for the action. LAS we understand
it." he said. "the governments case SUD-
stantially is that the organization of this
company and It's predecessors where va
r,ous competing organizations were
merged. was for the purpose of monopoH-
zation, or in restraint OF competition.
Those familiar with the industry know
these things were done TO protect the
shareholders from threatening insolvency
