"Love la king. " Weddings and engage
ments ha\c formed the most conspicuous
part or the social calendar during the last
fortnight and as many more arc expected
through the coming two vvreks. The most
notable nodding of the neck was that of
Miss Tlorcnce Morse and Mr. George Pal- |
incr and surrounding It were n number of
Interesting events. The reception of Mrs.
Hnrtman was a brilliant affair and there
were more dancing parties and cjrd par
lies than ha\o been recorded for several
weeks past.
With regard to futurities It may be re
marked that a half dozen fair debutantes
ere busy getting ready for their coming-
out parties , nil of which promise to be swell
affairs. The trio of buds who ha\c altuady
apptared have made n very pronounced In
vasion Into society ranks and at the Hitch
cock dance on Monday evening they wcto
plainly favorites. At least as warm a wel
come Is fcald to a\\alt the other joung
women who now hate hard work to re
strain thcmschcs from accepting evening
Invitations prior to their formal debut.
The accession of a number of fair young
women to society's throne at the commence
ment of the present season comes very op
portunely , for a number of the young
\vomcn who have hitherto grazed nnny
social functions here will be misted this
year. Miss Helen Hoagland Is to spend the
\vltttcr studying music In New V rlc. Miss
Clara I'almcr Is colng abroad. Mhs Ger
trude Kountze Is reported to luvo an
nounced that she will not go out Into so
ciety this season. The recent engagements
of Miss Alice Andrevsen and Mls.s Elizabeth
I'eck nro said lo be responsible for their
decision not to play BO con'plcacus a > nart
In social amenities as hitherto. What with
these , and the marriage of so many other
jounc women wlm have been looked up teas
as necessary to the success of any party ! u
the leading set , the appearance of a dozen
buds Is just In time to sa\o the young men
from playing the unenviable parts ofall -
Ilowcrs.

PARIS , Nov. 12. The Ganlols this mom-
ng , after referring to the Philippine qiiM-
tlon as presenting serious complications ,
sa > r :
"The thing to be faced Is no longer a re
newal of the conflict between America and
Spain owing to n rupture of the ncgotla-
Ions , but a general European conflict. The
"ashoda Incident Is only the prologue to n
) ! R drama which Is soon to occupy the
theater of the Inter-Huropean politics nnd
on reidlng tbo papcrfl qf Berlin , London nnd
Madrid ono feels that something uncotnfort-
iblu Is In the air , Spain knows that re
sistance upon her part , Isolated as slio IF ,
would have no cbatico of EUCCCM and she la
ooklng tor a friend In Uurope. Before
Fnshoda any sitih search would have been
useless , but now England If * anxious to
satisfy her ambitions In the far east. "
Continuing , the Gaulols asserts that Great
Britain Is tr > lng to bring nn offensive and
defensive < illlanco with the United St ites ,
of which alliance , according to the Claulols ,
rcat Britain alone would reap the benefit.
The Gaulols then MJR :
"Her program Is the following' She will
Induce the United States to refuse any con
cession to Spain and to refuse coaling sta
tions In the Philippine Islands to Kii'sla and
Germany. Acoiifllct breaks out , England , as
America's ally , lulanencB , which forces the
other powers having Interests In the cast to
take up nrms. The question becomes no
longer that of the Philippine- ? , but that of
China , and finally ft European war breaks
out. "
