WEEKEND WHISPERS,

"Mr. So and So has fled petition in
bankruptcy, his assets are $4,000 and
his liabilities are $4,000. H-'sMrs. \
Y. o., the well-knOwn Federal Street
mOdiste, was to-day declared a bank
rupt when her case was called before
Referee Blue. Her liabilities amounted
to $500. Silk Skirt & Co. were 70.
spOnsible for this action being unable
to collect q debt of $4,000. Her assets
were given as s2OO.46." Items like
these are familiar to every newspaper
reader, but real interest in bankruptcy
proceedings was not awakened until
last week when The Broad Ak published
the details Of the case of DR.. Anna Bea-
triee Sehultz-Knighten. Now it is
whispered that every lady in town has
asked her legal friends about the law
and some have gone to far as to pass
"2719" State Street. Whisper saws
that they have been surprised at the
unkept appearance of the place and
wondered where the dashing Doctor is.
Mr.. w. B. d. is to be married. Here
tofOre the mere suggestion of H. get
ting married started his friends to
ehuekling, for the jolly railrOader was
regarded as an eighteen-karat, dyed-in-
the-woOl, bottle, hermetie-
ally sealed, hopelessly ineurable baehe-
ler. But the charming Mrs. A. D. d.
happened to be "the dearest girl in the
world" and his eapitulation is com
plete. Mrs. D. you will remember for
merly lived on Langley Avenue. After
she separted from her husband she
moved to Milwaukee and from there to
New York. She returned to the city
some months ago, and the marriage is
to take place here. When you receive
your invitation, remember that you first
read it in Weekend Whispers. An
other whisper-you know H. has been
running to New York for many years.
Sunday night a quartette of young
misses found out that they were not as
wise as Mother and Father. These
young ladies were above playing hoOky
from high school, but Sunday afternoon
and evening their explanation Of their
whereabouts did not satisfy the parents
of one of the girls. The other parents
were consulted and the happy four were
watched. The result was that at a GER
tain corner the number was increased
to eight, the young men without hest
fancy taking the arm of his favOrite.
The afternoon was spent walking up
and down the popular streets with an
occasional stop for ice cream sodas and
candy. When the frscperformance at
a State Street theatre began the party
occupied an entire row of seats. Then
came the denoUement-it was not spec
taeular-one of the girls happened to
turn around and discovered her parents
a few seats behind her. She whispered
to the rest and they hastily "beat it. E"
In one case Mothers turn came next
day. The young lady has been indis-
posed ever since and she can not be
reached by telephone as the instrument
has been taken out. No names this
time.
In every sensational murder the po-
lice or the reporters generally find an
Afro-Ameriean before the case is ended.
These brilliant Investigators had better
look to their laurels for over at the
Club one of the members
"a prominent member of the local bar
has discovered a eopper-eolored indi-
vidual in the Harry Thaw case.
In polite circles the reception and
ball by the National Negro Semi-Cen-
tennial Exposition Association Thanks
giving night is AL the talk. Consider
able zest has been given to the affair
by Madame Grundy who says that
there will be many surprises at this
ball. 1t will be more like the inaugural
ball at Washington so far as outside
is concerned; as early as
two months ago the social lights of
many cities were invited to participate.
Coming as it does on a holiday night
it will no doubt be largely attended.
Some Of the contemplated surprises are
already known. Also something about
the gowns to be worn. It may be wise
for you to read Weekend Whispers
next week.
Hurrahl for the Court of Domestic
Relations. Mrs. Jones and her darling
little three-year old daughter have just
