Show i Society Sauntering. 3t B j The opposition to the government will prob- H j ably be greatly shocked tomorrow morning when Hj he comments on the doings of the awful fast set ft! which has pervaded our midst of late, and which J has been particularly bold in the display of red 1 fire during the week which has passed. It has surely been a record breaker, and shows what at- H mospheric conditions will lead to, that is, when B ! . the mood is in the air, everyone catches it at onco. B ! ; li would really be better if the stunts could be B; distributed instead of coming in cycles, for the H I ' poor workingman who can't have breakfast in bed jp: is certainly up against it after a night of child- Bt ibh revel. Hjt & & & B H But to refer back to the immediate present, H ; -fo to hi jalc, this week has been quick enough for Hij anyone. It includes one eighteen hour session Hfi around the green baize, participated in by a co- H terie of gentlemen at one of the principal clubs, Hjjjf a beautiful fight in which two society stalwarts IHtfi'i did a most commendable act in wiping the floor Btjl with a couple of bullies who were imposing on Hh an old man, and four hair-raising dinners which B were most exclusive, and from a decorative stand- H point, highly successful to those who are par- Hj lial to the paint when it is red. H jfl Hj The New York World of recent date reports HH the wedding of Mrs. McLaughlin and Dr. Mc- IHjj Enery as follows, .thja dispatch being a special Hf'' from Washington: B, An affection of the heart, whioh entangled that H i organ of the physician who treated it, res.ulted 'j in a wedding here inhistorfc old St John's ohurch j between Mrs. Henrietta M. McLaughlin, of Salt SLake City, Utah, and Dr. William A. MoBnery, ! of Loudon. The romance began in Mentone, France, last B spring. Mi's. McLaughlin missed $30,000 worth H of diamonds from her room in the hotel at Men- Bj lone and worried so much over the affair that B her heart became affected. B' Dr. McEnery, who was formerly .chief med- B' leal director at Middlesex hospital, London, and H who is a prominent heart specialist, was in Men- H tone at at the time, and was called in consultation H, by the physician, who was attending Mrs. Mo- B Laughlin. B As a result of tha acquaintance thus begun the B physician's own heart became affected, so much B so that he knew no rest until he asked a certain B question and received a satisfactory reply. B Mrs. McLaughlin afterward went to England B and the physician was most attentive. No en- B gagement was announced, however, until she had B returned to the United States. St. John's was so- B lected as the place for the ceremony soon after B Dr. McEnery's arrival in Washington. B The wedding was. witnessed by only a few of the bride's relatives, including her only child, a girl of fourteen. It was followed by a wedding breakfast at the residence of Prof. McLaughlin, a relative of the bride's first husband. Immediately alter the wedding breakfast the happy couple left for Utah, where the bride's extensive ex-tensive interests include a partnership with Senator Sen-ator Kearns in big mining operations. Dr. McEnery, Mc-Enery, it is said, has relinquished his professional position in London to assume the management of his wife's property. v v v Mr. Newhouse goes to Denver next week to meet Mrs. Newhouse, and upon their return to this city, he will again have for his guests Mr. Livermore and the Count de Laborde, both of whom are infatuated with the Utah climate and other things beside. It is understood that both of them return to do what little they can to mend the string of cracked hearts which extends from the Lagoon to Mill Creek, and to replace the well scattered forget-me-nots .with heartsease, j? & j? Mrs. Robert G.-Smith, who is a most charming charm-ing hostess, will act in that capacity during the tennis tournament at the Country Club today. A large crowd will probably be present to enjoy the events. & & & Two very attractive young women who have been visiting in the city for a short time, left for the east during the week, and as I had noticed that Dohl Baret had regretted the event in advance, ad-vance, stating that "the Knutsford will look deserted," de-serted," I was- more than surprised to find Upon going to that hostelry that it was doing business busi-ness at the same old stand, that the elevator was still running, and that the grass was not growing in the corridors. It Is understood that the management man-agement is preparing a statement of just what will be done with the building and the lot in case the desertion is really effected. & & J8 Small dinners and luncheons have been the principal events during the week, with little doing do-ing of much importance. & & Mrs. Victor Clement will return the first of the week for the "winter pleasantries. She has been enjoying life on the Atlantic coast during the warm months, and her many friends will welcome wel-come her home again. & & & Mrs. Hugh Tevis, who has friends In this city, is again the subject of much newspaper comment. com-ment.

McKee occupies stateroom 88, and Mrs. Tevis 89. Master Tevis, the maid and nursery governess gov-erness were placed in 91. McKee engaged steamer chairs for Mrs. Tevis, and sent a box of flowers to her room. While Mm. Tevis, McKee and the latter's father were standing near the grand staircase, stair-case, and McKee, Sr., was about to go ashore, Mrs. Tevis stepped up to the elder McKee, put her hands on his shoulders and gave him an audible au-dible kiss on the lips, and then, taking his hand, said: "Good-by, papa. Don't worry about Hart; I'll take good care of him." Mrs. Teyis was asked if she was to marry McKee. She replied: 1"How absurd! Please don't talk about this." Hart McKee refused to be interviewed and bis father parried the question. W W w George J. Gibson entertained at an elaborate tjinner at the University Club on Thursday evening.
