Some of ChIeagO's Thunder.

When Violette SeIfridge's engage
ment to Ripley Wilson, American con-
sui at London, was announced the
other day, the newspapers would have
1t that she was the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. H. Gordon Selfridge. of Bos-
ton, who have made their home in
England for many years." Now, Mr..
Selfridge may have been originally
from Boston-they do say that tie
late Marshall Field was in the begin
ming a Bostonian and the late l.. u.
Letter came from Maryland-but until
he migrated to London he was as
much identified with Chicago as
either Mr.. Field or Mr.. Letter.
Indeed, he was a member OF the
same famous firm, whose history
reads like the veriest romance. and
part of whose business seems to be
the graduating OF miIlionnaires.
Founded as Field, Palmer & Letter,
the company laid the cornerstone of.
the great fortune OF Mr.. Field. Mr..

later it was known as Field, Letter &

was ever so disappointed not to be
in the gallery when Edythe Howard
on the Duke of Norfolk, took the sill
yer cup at the Riding and Hunt Clubs
jumping contest last wek. She GER
tainly deserved it, for she is as game
a rider as there is among the girls OF
Washington, and she has had bad luck
with the Duke.
More than once, after taking the
gates like a bird in practice, he has
lost his head completely over the
lights and music and run amuck in
competition.
Mrs. Delos Blodgett put up the cup
and Julian Bishop the mems cup
which Dennis Upson, riding Ravello
captured. Mrs. Bowen, 1 hear, had
two nasty spills, but l saw her next
day, on her way home from the Rid,

for her tumble and looking very
smart in her trig habit, with a becom-

cloak which covered her from neck to

How the Bruen Home
Came Into Existence.

Once upon a time, as the story
books say, a little old lady who lived
in Georgetown paid a years rent, out
OF the kindness of her charitable
heart. for a big old house which shell
tered a flock of orphaned children;
and thus the Bruen Home came into
being.
can't remember whether the home
was established at that time or wheth-
er IL was already in existence, but
from this Mrs. Bruen it took its name.
She expected to be responsible for
the rent for many years; but quite
suddenly she died, and pouf! fair
prospects went up in smoke.
Nevertheless, for many years the
Bruen Home has been "going strong.

NunerOuS Events Planned
For the Coming Week.

1t would seem that the Army and
Navy Club will have to run in an
extra dinner dance TO make up for
the one last week, which was can
ceIed out of respect for Admiral
Dewey Any number OF dinners
were on the carpet and the club is
so crowded that hOstesses have been
able to obtain no other date until
March s. over a month of.
The coming week will start OF
well with a Georgetown Assembly
and Playhouse Dancing Class on Mon
day evening and on Tuesday evening
the famous Oriental Ball OF the Jun
ior League and the Congressional re-
ception at the White House. The
decorations and scenery for the ball
are being done" at the home Of the
Hitchcock girls, Lena and Katherine,
and they tell me over three gallons
Of gold paint have been used.

duced to society in Chicago this win
ter and shared with Lolita Armour
the distinction of being the most con-
spicuous and feted debutante of the
season. -
The gossips said that her mother
brought her home because London in
war time is no place to bring out
a bud, but 1 believe there was a bit
of pleasant sentiment connected with
their return. Mrs. Selfridge was n
Chicago girl, Rose buckingham, and
a few years, ago, before there was
a war, she came back to Chicago to
present her elder daughter. .Violette
is a charming little person and had
a tremendous success. 1 understand
she and her mother are sailing short

the Red Cross work in which she has
been deeply interested, and where the
wedding will take place in the spring.

GaFrisOns Had to Postpone
Their Dinner Twice.


The new date for the Bakers din
ner is February 10. The change re-
calls the experience of last season,
when the Secretary of war-Mr. Gar
rison-and Mrs. Garrison set a date
for their dinner only to have Mr.. Gar
risou off on some special duty when
the day came round. The dinner was
postponed and another date was set.
This time the President was away on
his famous swing around the West,
preaching "preparedness"-and the
function was again postponed. I'm
not sure whether q third date was
>seIected. after the Presidents re-
turn, but just about that time Mr..
Garrison resigned.
Thereupon it became the subject of
laughing speculation whether the
War Department would dine the
President at all, or let him go
hungry. However, eventually the
Chief Executive got all the dinners
that were coming to him. The Chief
Of staff and Mrs. Scott-the former
having been acting Secretary Of
War as long as the law allowed-did

with Mr.. Baker, newly appointed
Secretary of War, present as a guest
rather than host. This was early in
April. and it was still later that the
Secretary of the Interior and Mrs.
Lane succeeded in their third attempt
to entertain the President and Mrs.
Wilson. Their dinner had also been
twice postponed, once by the Presi-
dents absence and once by the illness
of Mr.. Lanes brother.

Dorothy QuIntard's
Wedding Interesting.
Another interesting wedding of the
week was Dorothy Quintard's mar
riage to Lieut.. c. r. Boucher, of the
navy, a house wedding with a touch
of military pomp. Dorothy is the
granddaughter of the late Alexander
Shepherd, goverr # the District in
the days when vas self-goverD-
ment in Washine ,,-, who probably
did more than any one man to bring
to realization the dream of Washing
ton as a city beautiful Gov. Shep-
herd built the Draper house, in X
street, and there his handsome daugh-
ters reigned as bellies.
When the Shepherds went to Mex
leo, the McLeans bought the house,
and it was there that Admiral Dewey
was married to John r. McLean's
sister, Mrs. Hazen. Later still IL be-
came the home OF the Drapers. Bleak
House. a fine old estate on the Sew
enth street road, which has now
fallen upon evil days, was also built
by Gov. Shepherd and his family
made their home there in summer
until few years ago.

Went TO London to
Teach the Britishers.
II. Gordon Selfridge, or Harry sell
fridge, as he was usually called in
Chicago, worked himself up in the
Field service until he became a part
ner and manager of the retail store.
Then he retired from the firm, as
Mr.. Field is said to have caused all
of his partners to retire as soon as
their fortunes reached the million
dollar mark.
Soon after he went over. to London
to teach the Britishers how to run
a department store. He must have
succeeded pretty well, for H. C. Sell

London's shops.
That was in 1909 or thereabouts.
Since then the Selfridges have prac-

Not One Of the Troubles

There you have the sad side of the
picture, and not one of these troubles
but can be remedied IL the pubic will
come forward generously as it usually
does when once 1t is reached by an ap-
peal The reverse of the picture is
that in that old mansion, where once
the beaux and bellies of an elder gener.
alton held sway, 102 small children,
ranging from wee babies to boys and
girls of fourteen, are being made
happy. They are fed and clothed as
comfortably as possible, theysare re-
quired to be reasonably well behaved,
they are sent to school and after that
they are AT HOME.
They are treated just like hundreds
of other girls and boys in hundreds
of other real homes and in consequence
every single one of the I02 kiddies
adores Mamma" Fleck, the matron,
who has been in charge of the home
for over twenty years. But why say
more-if you haven't bought your

To BE Given Thursday.
Now, after that, can you possibly

party to be given under the auspices
of the Twentieth Century Club next
Thursday afternoon for the benefit OF

the time, and Mrs. w. F. Ham is. in
charge of arrangements, assisted by
Mrs. Hoyt Gale, Mrs. Gilbert Grosve-
nor, Mrs. George Peltnam, and Mrs.
Prentiss.
=
The rooms have been donated, like
wise the tea and Mr.. Garfinkle and Mr..
Jelleff have put up stunning prizes, so
every cent of the proceeds will go tc
this worthy charity.
The Bruen Home occupies the beau
tiful old Waggaman house at Thirty
third and o streets, but it's terribly out
of repair. The great ball room, now
the boys dormitory. is a finely proper
toned apartment, but the lovely old
stained glass roof Is falling in on the

Of a friend, q neighbor. as well a. the

and there was nothing perfunctory In

dent set. One popular hostess even
went so far as to recall her invita-
tions for two months to come, out
understand she has recalled her re-
calls.
Everybody is pleased that the Seq

and Helen woodrow Bones were TO
have had at the White House are
only postponed and not given up en-

not only of those who are invited, but
of the society chroniclers who see
much excellent "copy" in the first
dance at the Executive Mansion
since the beginning Of the Wilson

precincts of the White House, seems
to argue a more liberal social pro-
