WASHINGTON SOCIETY’S
ANTE-HOLIDAY GAYETY.
The President and Mrs. Roosevelt Set the Pace
in Social Affairs.
Washington, D. C.. Dec. 17.—The
weeks immediately preceding the hol
idays are always brilliant ones in the
social world of the Capital, though by
no means the giddy whirl that follows
the formal raising of the curtain on
New Year's Day. Heretofore society
has devoted the short initial season
almost entirely to teas, dinners,
luncheons and similar rather tamo
entertainments; but this year, to its
credit be it said, the social happen
ings have so far had a distinctly ar
tistic flavor, mostly in the way of
music. No doubt this is largely due
to the example of the White House,
which naturally sets the social pace
in the D. C., if not for the entire
country. Mrs. Roosevelt's weekly
musicales, the lectures and other en
tertainments of an intellectual charac
ter which have been of frequent oc
currence in the East Parlor, during
the whole of the present administra
tion are bearing pleasant frnit in the
decided change which has taken place
in social affairs.
Miss Alice Roosevelt is now in New
York, en route to Boston for a ten
days' visit to her grandmother, Mrs.
George C. Lee. Phe will return to
the metropolis in time to participate
in the debut festivities of her young
cousin, Miss Corinne Robinson, who
will be presented to society, Dec. 22,
end Miss Alice will probably be in
Washington for Christmas.
Secretary and Mrs, Hay'a Pro
gram me.
The Secretary of State and Mrs.
Hay will entertain the diplomatic
corps at the usual Neiv Year breakfast
on Monday, Jan. 2, and, will give
the first of the series of cabinet din
ners in honor of the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt on Jan. 12, but will not oth
erwise participate in the gayeties of
the season. Mrs. Hay has never put
off her mourning for her eldest son,
and, owing to the recent death of her
brother-in-law, Maj. Hay, is now
neither receiving nor making visits.
MISS DAI SY LEITER.
She will probably welcome her per
sonal friends to her Sixteenth street
home later in the season, tout will give
no public afternoon receptions, nor will
she take her place at the head of
the cabinet line at the White. House,
receptions, should it finally be’ decid
ed that the time-honored custom of
having these ladies assist be continued
through another season. Mrs. Shaw
and Mrs. Taft are tooth absent from
the city. Mrs. Hitchcock, Mrs. Nor
ton, Mrs. Wynne, and Mrs. Metcalf
are the cabinet women now in Wash
ington.
A Mexican Girin Debut.
The young Spanish-American beauty,
Miss Belen de Asplroz, daughter of the
ambassador from Mexico, made her
formal entrance into society last week
amid such a blaze of glory as seldom
falls to the lot of an American girl.
The corps diplomatique makes a gor
geous showing when out In full forces,
and feathers, and the Mexican embas
sy, which has been the scene of many
splendid entertainments, lends itself
admirably to line effects. Miss Belen
Asplroz is the leading ‘'bud" of the
diplomatic circle this year, and has
grown up in Washington, being about
11 years of age when her father was
appointed ambassador to the United
States. Hecelving her education In the
private schools of this city, she speaks
English and French as fluently as her
native Spanish; and with all her charm
ing adaptability to American customs,
she retains the pretty shyness and re
serve of manner characteristic of the

beautiful old point arranged in a flat
frill effect on the head, the edge of
the frill just covering the top of the
liompadour in which her dark hair
was coiffured, where it was caught by
a crown of orange blossoms.

a fruitful topic of newspaper para

as food for the hungry pens of report

Commander Southerland U. S. IV.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 17.—Mrs.
Southerland, wife of Commander
Southerland, will give a dinner, Mon
day evening, compdimsintary to the
Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Mor
ton. The cards of invitation are en
graved and read;
“Commander and Mrs. Southerland
request the pleasure of your company,”
etc.
These cards led to the pleasant
report that Commander Southerland,
who commands the cruiser Cleveland
of the European squadron, was on his
way to this country and would be
here in time for the dinner. Mrs.
Southerland admitted, Jtowever, that it
was only a pretty piece of sentiment
that prompted her to keep her hus
band’s name on the cards, though he
is thousands of miles away.
“I would feel like a widow, indeed,
were I to scratch his name out, and
I really cannot bear to do it,” said
she, “besides, while 1 am entertain
ing for my daughters, and inviting so
many young men, foreigners and oth
ers to the house, I think it more prop
er to have some man responsible for
us.”
Commander Southerland Is now on
his way to the maneuvres at the
Carribean Sea, although In name he is
to be host at several dinner parties.

hounds in this country, and will enter
thirty of them at races shortly to be
held at the St. Louis fair. On a large
ranch In Oklahoma he trains his run
ners in contests with the swiftest Jack
rabbit of the plains.
Princess Maud is a modest canine,
sticking close to the heels of her mas
ter as he walks through the streets.
Except for the fact that she is trim
and sleek-looking she does not give
the slightest idea of her value, which
is placed by Capt. Vickery at SIO,OOO.
She is of a dark fawn color with thin
body and attenuated legs, and when
standing assumes the slightly tllted
forward position indicative of the run
ner,
She is at her best when chasing
Jack rabbits. Capt. Vickery recently
tried her on the North Carolina rab
bits, but they were too fat and slow,
and she was able to overtake them In
a walk.

NO DIVORCEES
RULE OF TRINITY CLERGY.
SO MARRIAGE OF DIVORCED PER.
SOSS IN ANY OF THEIR PARISHES.
The Discretion Allowed the Clergy
By the Episcopal General Con
vention Accepted by Those of the
Trinity Parishes in New York amt
They Decline to Marry Divorced
Persons or Allow them to Be Mar
ried in Either Trinity Church or
Any of Its Cliapels.
New York, Dec." 17.—Announcement
is made that under no circumstances
will divorced persons be married by
any of the clergy of Trinity Church
parish, nor will such marriages be per
mitted either in the parish church, at
Wall street and Broadway, or in any
one of the parishes eight chapels.
It has been known ever since the
general convention of the Episcopal
church met in Boston, in October, that
the new divorce canon adopted by
that body was not sufficiently strin
gent to satisfy a large element in the
church. A mass meeting, held in St.
Agnes’ Chapel several weeks ago, at
which a more stringent rule was urged,
was then considered to indicate the at
titude of the Trinity clergy.
A reference in the announcement to
the release of the clergy from obliga
tion toward divorced persons relates to
that part of the new canon, which de
clares that: “It shall be within the
discretion of any minister to decline to
solemnize such marriage,” the term
“such marriage,” referring to the re
marriage of the innocent party in a
divorce. The new canon also provides
that the clergyman, if he deems it nec
essary, may demand the court records
and refer the whole matter to the
Bishop of the diocese before perform
ing the ceremony. The Trinity clergy
accept the permission of the general
convention and decline to perforin mar
riages of divorced persons.
A WONDERFUL ROCK.
Gibraltar One of the Show Places
of the World.
Julius Chambers, in Brooklyn Eagle.
The scene has shifted from Vigo to
Gibraltar, one of the “show places” of
this world. One can see everything in
the town and fortress in five or six
hours; but since the new line of rail
way has been built from Algeciras,
across the bay, Gibraltar has become
the stopping place to Grenada for
Americans who want to visit the Al
hambra. The pony carts at Gibraltar
are comfortable and cheap. There is
one excellent hotel, but the shops are
confined to one long, narrow street.
If Vice Admiral Lord Charles Beres
ford is going into action, there will
be serious consequences in many di
rections. The British fleet of twenty
odd first class cruisers and battleships
will be able to close the Gate of Her
cules without the co-operation of the
guns in the fortifications. This will
be fortunate for British supremacy
and prestige, because the truth about
“the Rock of Gibraltar” would make
a laughing-stock of British policy.
The great hill is of pumice-stone—
the creation of a volcano at a remote
period. It is cut into galleries and
casements; it is punctured with can
non. much as is a Westphalian ham
stuffed with cloves. The end of each
gallery is a bower of shrubbery; but
behind the oleanders and rhododen
drons are muzzles of Whitworth,
Krupp and Armstrong guns, hidden
like scorpions in a colored rug. There
are countless “secret chambers.” most
of which are shown to visitors. These
principally overlook the Neutral
Ground (a half-mile broad) that sepa
rates Spain from this British posses
sion.
The finest view of Gibraltar is had
from the top of the rock, and a per
mit from the Governor is easily ob
tained. Indeed, if one has a little in
fluence, it is possible to ride to that
hight in a steel basket that runs on
a trolley, slung hundreds of feet above
the houses of the town. That is the
point of vantage I’d speak for in the
event of a naval fight between the ships
of Russia and England. Memory shows
me the picture something like this:
Looking westward, the Gate of Her
cules stands wide ajar! Beyond is the
battle bay of Trafalgar, where Nelson
earned the monument ’round which
modern London revolves. Across the
strait is the prison pen of Ceuta, over
which will forever hover the wraiths of
Cuban martyrs who died therein for
the cause of freedom. To the north is
the stretch of land that makes a pe
ninsula of this rock —a “No Mans
Land” that is dangerous, to cross. Be
yond “the dead line” is the wretched
little town of Linea, as full of smug
glers as is a trust company’s office of
widows. Afar to the northeast are the
peaks of the Sierra Nevada, wearing
the white fez of eternal snow, and hid
ing from sight the dream town of
Grenada, with its fairy like Arabian
palace. At their feet, in a cove so
deep that it cannot be seen, is Malaga,
the seaport of Spanish grapeland.
Stretching eastward as far as PhoniHa
spreads the dimpled blue Sea of All
Antiquity, every square mile of its
waters having place In the chronology
of man—keeper of more secrets than
all the oceans! The Mediterranean is
the greatest spectacle at Gibraltar!
The rock is a “bluff;” its bay is dan
gerous for shipping. Its defenses
must always rest with the fleet that
rides in the roadstead, with fires bank
ed in fear of storms.
