Can you imagine seventeen bathrooms in a private house? A couple of more splashes! Another New York mansion is shortly to be thrown open to Gotham's gay society. The Clarence Clar-ence Moores have spent two years getting their marblo palace to suit them, and Town Topics this week declares that "the few who hav enjoyed en-joyed the privilege of a private view of the house are marveling above all things at the luxurious baths, seventeen in all, and wondering if so many are needed to wash away the sanguinary sources of the wealth of the establishment which appears to be almost as persistent as Lady Mac-beth's Mac-beth's damned spot. The chef d'oeuvre of the collection is that in the private suite of the elegant ele-gant Clarence, which is sunken in the floor, and supplied with luxurious appointments that would make the famed establishment of Caracella blush with shame. Besides, Narcissus-like, he can admire ad-mire his beauty in two huge mirrors introduced into the walls as well as in the sparkling pool, which goes the popr sylvan god several points better. ut Mr. and Mrs. Walter Filer are still in the east and In all probability will not return before the middle of May. They are at Atlantic City at present. & & Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Daly are back from California. Cali-fornia. Miss Eudora Daly will remain in San Francisco to attend tho fleet festivities and come home later. J J & Among those who left for 'Frisco to see the fleet this week have been Mr. and Mrs. George Y.

"More than ever, darling!" was Henry's fervent fer-vent answer. Then there was an eloquent silence.. "Henry," she gasped, turning her, pale, ghastly ghast-ly face away, "I thought that would make me feel better, but it doesn't!" The Southwestern Book. , & Inasmuch as a score or more of Salt Lakers have taken a header into Washington society I the past year or two, the following from Town Topics this week may interest locally: "Washington is teeming with rumors concerning concern-ing the nearly debutante daughter of the White House Miss Ethel Roosevelt. It is wel' known that she has long fretted and teased to make her social bow to society and fill, if possible, the va-pancy va-pancy in the republican court left by her half-sister. half-sister. Many have wondered, as the official position po-sition of her father is nearly over, that she was not introduced last winter, and it was said that after the partial season she had in New York the coming-out party would probably be an event of the Easter season. Now jt is said that a post- j ponement was made by her father, and as a reward re-ward for her disappointment she was given a trip to New Orleans. Others hold that Mrs. Roosevelt must know some of the inner workings of the great political situation and probably foresees fore-sees for her daughter a long belleship at tho White House, so there is no necessity for hurry. But there are other considerations. Man proposes pro-poses and politicians and the love-god dispose. Miss Ethel has at least one devoted admirer, and it is quite possible that if the debut of this Interesting Inter-esting young girl is deferred until too late next season her betrothal will be announced at her coming-out party, to be followed by another White House wedding before tho 4th of March should the administration change. Miss Ethel is a very pretty girl, totally unlike her half-sister, 15 Mrs. Nick Longworth, with a very sweet expression expres-sion and pleasant manner. Her mother keeps her rather close and dresses her with the taste and economy that lady long ago made famous. & & Miss Anna and Genevieve McCornick, who have been on the coast for the past few months, -; are home and arourid with the old crowds once more. $ & Erma Hodges of Denver, well known and mighty popular here, spent a day or two during the week with Minette Baer, en route to the coast. She is making a longer stop on the way back. & & & Prentice Nathaniel Gray and Laura Sherman will be married Wednesday, May 27th, at 4 o'clock, in St. John's church, Washington. Invitations Invi-tations for the affair were received here late thig week. The couple go to Quebec on a wedding trip and will be at home at Oakland after J July 1st. - 5 tffi & It is very probable that Mrs. Samuel M. Parker and Lieutenant Parker will be back in town before long. Word has been received by Mr. and Mrs. Edward Richards, Mrs. Parker's parents, that they are sailing from the Philippines Philip-pines and will arrive in 'Frisco May 17th. & fc A few first nighters who still make use of that screamingly funny stunt of getting into their seats during the first ten minutes of the first act and keeping their Merry Widows on till they get their wraps off and their program read,' can take this tip and follow it without making anyone sore the opening curtain Monday night and every other night next week at the Theatre will go up promptly at S o'clock. Some people may want to see the first act of one or two of the shows. & & & Mrs. Paul C. Potter of the Post and her guests, Mrs. Parrish and Miss Siez, are in San Francisco. Fran-cisco. They left Wednesday and will be gone some time. & & S Colonel Scott is greatly improved and is up and around to some extent. He expects to be entirely well in the course of ac ouple of weeks and the Post people are greatly relieved. |
