" planned to pass as quiet a summer this
year as last. It Is said, without any en

ties, particularly the Working Boys Home.
Mr. Fortescu was military aide at the

In the old days the guests were pleased
to get pink lemonade and a cookie; now the
champagne flows without stint, and viands
are rich in comparison. Mrs. Lodg and
Mrs. Champ Clark resigned when the nsw
order set in. Mrs. Slayden and Mrs. Gregg,
, wives of Texas legislators, have been run
ning things to suit themselves, according
' to the verdict of the dissatisfied ones.

New York, where she has- been spending
several weeks.
Mrs. Alice Roosevelt-Longworth has
joined her family abroad. Mr. Longworth
did not go abroad, but remained to Wash
ington. Washington seems to be taking little in
terest In the coming wedding of Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., and there la gossip to the
effect that the son of the former president
need not look to this city for much ma
terial with which to furnish his nest. Dur
ing the Roosevelt administration in Wash
ington young Theodora was not much for
society. He was less accessible than his
father and would rather read or wander
. .along the wooded paths in solitude than
W mingle at social affairs. Ha was never
much of a dancer and as a conversation
alist he nevor took a blue ribbon.
The marriage of Miss Kathertnt Olivia

Chamberlain, wife or the enulor from Ore
Son. rusLur Chamberlain is by birth a
southerner, and he and Mrs. Chamberlain
are as popular with the southern contingent
of Washington as with th western, a fact
which Insures them an Ideally pleasant
residence here. Mrs. Cuambrelaln Is viva
cious and charming, with plenty of "go
aheud" and tact, and has become very
popular. Although the has a debutante
daughter, she looks much like a girl.
With th advent of spring fair Washing
tonlans have turned their attention to the
numerous weddings which are by far the
most important function at this season of
the year. Each spring wedding season
brings Its own special fad, whether In the
number of bridesmaids, the style of wed
ding gowns or even In the flowers chosen
for the bridal bouquet. The present spring
has shown a marked tendency to simplicity
In all the arrangements for the ceremonies,
and the elaboration which was deemed es
sential several seasons ago Is almost a
thing of the past. The wedding parties of
the last year have been smaller, and there
has even been manifested a marked prefer
ence for a ceremony at the bride's home
rather than at church. Tet the elaborately
formal wedding with all its "frills" Is
nevertheless dear to the feminine heart,
and It la quit "unlikely" that It will ever
go completely "out."
