16 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 BEE HIVE W tW N.

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.

Prince* Mnml Flectent Animal in the World of Canine*. From the Washington Star. A SIO,OOO dog. Such is Princess Maud, the fleetest dog in the world, owned by Capt. Jay Thomas Vickery, who has a ranch in Oklahoma, where he keeps a string of dogs well able to run a mile inside of two minutes. Princess Maud bears the proud distinc tion of having run a mile in 1:49, which is the world's record. Capt. Vickery is a greyhound fancier and expert. He owns the finest grey 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. Capt.

WILL MARRY * 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!
