Mrs. W. E. Jordan will entertain In compliment to the Club of Nine oh tomorrow afternoon. The Benedict Whist Club.

No more beautiful entertainment has been given In the history of the Benedict Whist Club than the meeting Saturday night with Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Brans-ford.

The guests Included almost the full club membership, the few vacancies being filled "by Mr. and Mrs.1 Bruce Douglas, Maj. and Mrs. John W. Thomas, Mrs.

W. A. Buntln, Mrs. Charles Schlfl and Mrs. O.

W. Chllds. Assisting Mr. and Mrs. Bransford ltt receiving was their daughter, Mrs.

Hugh Ciark KIrkman, and she with Mr. Klrkman kept the scores. The decorations were elaborate and the occasion was pronounced by. many present the most brilliant card party of the season. Mrs.

BransfordVs table In the dln-lrig room was a poem. In artistic taste an expression of her rare talent. Of. polished, mahogany it was partly covered with a square of real lace. In the centw wus a crystal vase filled dozens of red carnations, and 'about jit were placed at Intervals silver, dishes-, filled red mints and delicious'1 nougats, between these silver colonial candlesticks with red rose leaf shades.

The chandelier lights were covered with red tulip cups of silk; a chatelaine bow of red. satin hung from the center, and from either end of the big brass pendant hung a cut glass boat suspended by red ribbons and filled with red carnations; carrying out a new and thoroughly artistic Idea In decoration. At one cornerof the table frozen eggnog was served by Mrs. M. C.

McGannon from a handsome crystal.servlce. The floral decoration In the parlors wus an emphatic expression of own faultless linen. He doesn't dream how well-groomed femininity has many times a week to suppress wrath akin to that which so feebly bubbles between his own Hps because of the same aggravating caprices, of an inoffensive-looking collar button, says the Philadelphia Telegraph. It never enters his mind that the fetching Ascot has perhaps caused her to storm up and down before her mirrors, calling on the gods to come down and help her to tie the thing. He knows well.

enough the myriad offenses of own neckgear and the wrath with which he-has' pounced upon his laundry king, but the -shy little thing nt his side why, of course, she does not know what trouble Is. The girl must avoid the least suggestion of "flufilness." Her hair i. should not look crimpy, neither should. thevfeathers on -her hat. Her shirt-waist Is hopeless.

If not thoroughly severe, and her, tie must receive 'just the right twist. I have known' a girl to.spend.a solid hour wrestling desperately with stiff collars simply refused to -button, firt one, then another. Her arms ached and her neck wai scratched with the trying. When at last a tractable buttonhole was discovered the tiny-gold button disappeared and', she-thought It had Toyed under the ruir or behind the cosy corner. Then a search for 'that began, for It happened that she had no other button." It.

was simply that, one or none. I shall not dwell upon 'the detail of that search, but. tits button; was discovered at last in a hatbox. The tallpr-made glrl'a bo.ot string takes advantage" of her dependence upon it and'breaks Just ub she-Is making a hurried toilette. Not -another pair to her name, and Just twenty minutes to keep her Her hair positively refuses sometimes to part straight, and one persistent tress makes her a half hour lote at the play.

A button deliberately files oft her coat as she starts for the door, or. she will find a most deplorable dent in her hat crown. It-is wholly Inexplicable, but it is there. Two-Step at University Club. The University Club was the scene of one of the prettiest informal dances of the season on Saturday night.

About fifty guests were present, the large excess of men over the girls contributing greatly to the merriment and success of the occasion. The two-step continued until 11 o'clock, when buffet refreshments were served. Mr. and Mrs. Horace H.

Lurton, Dr. and Mrs. Larkln Smith, Mrs. Robert R. Robertson, of Richmond; and Mr.

and Mrs. Edwin Warner chaperoned the, 'party and the young lady guests were: Misses Estelle Shook, Elizabeth Kate Ransoni, Ida Thompson, Mary Richardson, Marie O'Shaughnessey, Martha Stokes, Mary Stokes, Jane Berry, Julia Dudley, Katherlne Schiff and Maggie Belle' Morrow. 1 ago at a 'buffet lunch were eagerly discussing the probable of the Patronesses for this -season. The merits of half a dozen prominent women were weighed, arid a few mild knocks were bestowed as each one was found more or loos wanting. It was -remembered that the first Committee of Patronesses was somewhat difficult 'of organization, owing to the tlmidl.ty women feel about taking up an unknown and untried enterprise, but once- jnsplred' with the value of the undertaking to merchants of the city and its brilliant possibilities from a social standpoint, they presented a solid front of enthusiastic workers, and all difficulties, melted away before their approach.

The second Patronesses excelled even the success of the first and the Committee for, the show of 1903 will' probably exert a mbre powerful influence in contributing fo complete success than either of its predecessors. Certainly, when the' Merchants Association takes up the work of the new Board Patronesses it- Is certain plenty of women will bo lound'fi'vVallableuXpr willing service, Miss Nell Pride Honored.

a Washington Souvenirs. Through the courtesy of Mrs. William Moore, of Belmont avenue, and Mrs. I. CI.

Tanner, of 731 South Spruce street, The American is enabled to reproduce a very interesting account of the burial of Gen. Washington, whose birthday all loyal Americans arc celebrating to-day with renewed honor and reverence to his memory. The accounts received from Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Tanner nre Identical.

That furnished by Moore appearing in a copy of the "Ulster County Gazette," published at Kingston, Ulster County, by Samuel Freer Son. The paper is a very old and quaint'sheet of two small, four column pages. It is dated Saturday, Jan. -i, 1800, and conveys at once a solemn impression by the heavy black column rules, In token of mourning for the death of the Father of his Country. Mrs.

Moore inherited the paper from an ancestor, and prizes it very highly. The clipping furnished by Mrs. Tanner was probably taken from copy of the same paper.

IHB midwinter season will end with a great thump, on Tuesday night, and the ball rooms and parlors arid dining rooms that rang bo recently with the gayety pf a multitude will be silent during the quiet Lenten 'six weeks stretching out ahead. Society is preparing to vest on, its laurels bravely won In the season's mugnifleeiit round of entertainments, and wilt look toward the post-Easter round of entertainments, as the next Important fields of social enterprise, TTho lmi'hber and magnitude of the season's events have marked It as the most brilliant from a social viewpoint which Nashville has' known for years. In general effect the plan of entertaining has shown little variety the old-time favorites, card parties for the married element, danceaforthe younger and aft'ernobm teas for 'but dhter-jltfTfl merit all descriptions have been bull upon such geneVous lme3 that many more people than usuoljiavc hud an opportunity to nothing so ever before been costumes of the vjrajQgur6a most prominently ha've'-been'lVIumphs of art and fashion. Dressmaking bills, too, it Is said. That fascinating part of the social population, the debutantes, have exerted.

a powerful Influence, (n, shaping and contributing to the gayetles of the season. Not for a long time has such a pretty bevy -of. girls, been brought out, and now that they, have been piloted by anxious mammas arid far-seeing elder sisters carefully over the shoals of society, and have been anchored safely In the harbor of the very smartest set, it only remains for them to achieve their individual successes. The throng Is highly interesting. They are still gurgling with girlish glee ami having no end of fun enjoying the men and the balls and all the new beautiful pictures of flowers and lights and Cashes of engagement rings that have burst upon their young eyes since October, but as the distance between them and the real things of lifejessens their real selves, too, nre beginning to tnke shape, and by their ways you may know them.

Among them arc not a few tvho have already demonstrated by tact and prudence their fitness for the social leadership thrones of the future; others nre still a bit "unbrldlewise," as the sporty boy hath it, and a few more are unhappily classed as the '-'pretty wells." When you are known as a "pretty well." little sister, you may know yourself to be neither pretty nor apt to do well In the social camnalern. Several of the girls of this pretty bevy have already shown, themselves as geniuses for their grace of tact and good humor combined with the good sense that never allows their dignity to be nssailed in the slightest degree. The men with whom they have joined hands In the pursuit of a good time call these particular girls "winners," and they seem to be living the reputation at the present moment. There Is interesting gossip concerning things in general for the Easter season. usual in the spring time there are all sorts of delightful rumors having an Important bearing upoji the approaching season, to which there may or may not be any foundation.

Among the pleasant things that ure certain to becut are four large afternoon receptions, a number of card parties and the tisual quota of balls at the University, Hermitage, Southern and Standard Clubs, nnd one largo feature dance to be given by the Girls' Cotillon Club. So far only two weddings of large social interest have been announced for the spring, those of Miss Sadie Peek and Miss Har. riett Overton, but it will not be many days before jewelers will be at work engraving the initials of three other prominent Nashville girls on the nrettv things that go to make up thecA" and vnluable display' to the wedding guests. There is a budget ofSnoro or less accurate social news, some good jokes and plenty of valuable information floating around on the waves of society's small talk, that would make columns of readable matter pertaining to current events of the season, If it was ever printed In the newspapers. But it Is not, and maybe very wisely.

One of the fnvorite sayings of the late venerable Miss Jane Thomas was: "It's a good thing not to tell all you know." Applied to the gossip that blooms in society, tra-la, she was right. A few days ago whilst talking with a man who is emphatically opposed to society in the modern sense, he was so Intolerant and so convinced that It was a "dreadful bore," the question suggested itself and-was put to him: "What Is the great drawback in the circle popularly called society which should keep intelligent men out of It except when they wade In a little way, perfunctorily, or as a matter of politeness to some woman?" Now, the above mentioned man has a horror (his state of mind Is not exaggerated) of society, and when the question was first put to him he laughed, scarcely considering it worth a reply. Finally he said humorously: "Good gracious me! I 'don't have new suit for every occasion; I know nothing of the niceties and complexities of drawing-room etiquette; I don't like the taste of frappe nnd chicken salad doesn't agree with my digestion. Cards and clothes may satisfy the feminine soul, but not mine. Strictly social functions make me feel like a clown in feathers and lace, or a mourner at a funeral and a hired one at thnt.

No, my dear Miss Newspaper Woman, society has no need of me and I have no need of society." His state of mind Is also that, with few and slight variations of nearly all the sensibly minded men to be found in the social directory. They believe discontent and unhapplness lurk in the rather artificial atmosphere of the social world, and that Its recreations are belittling to intelligence. Some of them nre no more tolerant than Anthony Hope, who said that the aspirations of the modern woman usually end in antics. They believe the social columns of a newspaper to be, instead of a factor In the growth and advancement of social life, as it Bhould be little more than an organ to chronicle the personal activities of different "sets." And so far the trend and results of conventional society life has not proved them very far wrong. As the Lenten days move along Into March a number of week end parties at country houses are promised.

They are very brief, these house parties, because the men will not go out of the city until Saturday and must needs be back again early Monday morning. But there Is enough fun and amusement crowded into anmuca space ut time io mat over a fortnight of ordinary visiting. Showing that the attention of the uncial world and all amusement seekers is directed toward the annual Horse Show nnd Its accompanying gaieties as Divot and plnuuclo around which the nrl.nnllr,i nf voiii- ivitiul a party of society matrons a few days tne popularity ot the hostess.

Atter.tne game a delicious hot sunner of four courses was served. The Ices came lo the ladles of the party In what appeared only beautiful souvenirs ot the occasion.

This, Is the era of succession but the leap Milliken has made 1b one of exceptional value, and will be very highly estimated among those familiar with the rungs In the ladder ot American stage successes. Miss Milliken has achieved a distinct success for. two seasons.

She has stepped Into a leading place at the theater in which such stars as Jno. William Fabcrsham, Maude Adams, Isabel Irving and Jessie Mil-ward have presented their greatest successes. She has also achieved the ambition of every American member of the stage profession In the genuine drama, save those already stars. It Is to become successfully Identified with the Frohman or Belasco theatrical forces. These rank as did those of Augustln Daly until hhJl death.

The Empire Theater Stock Company Is admitted to be superior to any In this country, tan tamount to supcriuiiLj, MVm world. It Is the place where stars are- made lor me ineumcui ow. stars as Maude Adams, Mary Man-nerlng and others equally well known. It Is a High tribute to the ability and popularity of Miss Milliken that she has been chosen as leading ludy of Frohman's Empire Stock Company, a tribute which may mean that her loftiest stage ambition may be of early achievement. The pretty brown-eyed girl, beloved by her schoolmates at Ward Seminary und popular with the entire community, IS IOU IMCtUttWlUJ- 111 vllle to leave any doubt of the genuine pleasure which this ncwB will cause ner motner, and in the family it Is preserved as a vnluable heirloom.

The uc- count as follows: WASHINGTON ENTOMBED. GEORGETOWN. Dor. 10. 1799.

On Wednesday last, the mortal -part of Washington the Great the Father of his Country ami the friend of num. as consigned to the tomb, with solemn honors and funeral pomp. a. multitude oc peonle assembled. from many miles around, at Mount Vernon, the choice abode and last resi dence of the- illustrious chief.

There were the. groves the spacious avenues. tne. neauttful and sublime scenes, the noble mansion, but alas! the august inhabitant was now no more. Thnt great soul was gone.

His mortal part was there indeed; hut nht how affecting! how awful the spectacle of such worth and greatness, thus, to mortal eyes, fallen! I Yes! fallen! fallen! In the long and lofty portico, where oft the hero walked In all his glory, now lay the shrouded corpse. The countenance still composed and serene, seemed to depress the dignity of the spirit, which lately dwelt In that lifeless form There those who paid the last sad honors to the benefactor of his country, took an impressive a farewell view! "On the ornament at the head of the coffin was Inscribed 'Surge ad Judicium, about the middle of the coffin, 'Gloria deo" and on the silver plate: GENERAL, GEORGE WASHINGTON, Departed this life on the 14th De-. cember, 1799, Aet. 68. "Between Jt and 4 o'clock, the sound of artillery from' a vessel In the river firlntr minute guns, awoke afresh our solemn sorrow the corpse was moved MISS VIRGINIA HAYES, The Pretty Little Daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. T. P. Hayes, of Kentucky, a band of music with mournful melody melted the soul Into all the tenderness of woe. (We omit the order -of procession.) "When the procession had arrived at the bottom of the elevated lawn, ton the bank of the Potomac, where the family vault Is placed, the cavalry halted, the Infantry marched towards the Mount and formed their lines the clergy, the Masonic brothers and the cltlzenH descended to the vault and the funeral service of the church was performed.

The -firing was repeated from the vesBel In the river and the sounds echoed from the woods and hills around. "Three general discharges by the infantry, the cavalry and eleven pieces of artillery which lined the banks of the Potomac back of the vault paid tl. last tribute to the entombed of the armies of the UnltedStates nnd the departed hero. "The sun was now setting. Alas! the son of glory was set forever.

No the name of Washington the American President and General will triumph over death! The unclouded brightness of his glory will illumine the future ages."
