THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER-SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 15, 1895. 17 SOCIETY MAJOE LAUB given by her at her residence, corner Thirty-sixth and Spring Garden streets, Thursday evening. THE LARGER WORLD As if to accentuate the scandals, elopements and other sensational denouements of the last few weeks, the past week has been notable for the many weddings in high life, without the now seemingly omnipresent titled groom. Chief among the ceremonies was the McAlpin-Rockefeller marriage in New York, when the millions of the tobacco king were linked with the fortunes of a favored daughter of and niece of America's greatest speculators. That the children of the Rockefellers inherit the good common sense of their pater familias is recognizable in the marriages love, they rather than those whose greatest claim contract, choosing men they to social distinction is the possession of a title or superabundance 01 worldly wealth.
A. marriage, which was of transcontinental interest, was Wednesday, consummated in Los Angeles, the contracting parties being Miss Emma S. Childs, of the city of Los Angeles, and John Wilbur Dwight, of New York. The ceremony, which was performed by Bishop Mora, assisted by Bishop Montgomery, in the presence of relatives and most intimate friends, was followed by a reception. Misses Ruth Childs and Edith O.
Shorn were bridesmaids. Senator J. Sloat Fassett, of New York, was best man, and the ushers were Colonel Fred Crocker, of San Francisco, and James Slausson. The bride and groom will sail for Europe January 8. The marriage of Miss Juliette de Neufville, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Jules de Neufville, to Mr. J. Langdon Schroeder, son of the late Francis Schroeder, took 3 place o'clock, at the residence of the bride's Wednesday afternoon at half-past parents, No. 36 West Thirty-seventh street, New York city.

Bolles, engagement of Miss Bessie Bradley of 211 West Sixty-ninth street, New York, to David Henry Cuyler. The William Waldorf Astor house, at 8 East Thirty-third street, New York, is likely to be once more the scene of gayety, despite the owner's intended prolonged stay in the British capital. At the dance which Mr. and Mrs. Walter S.
Gurnee, of 8 East Thirty-third street, gave Thursday night for their daughters, Miss Isabelle Gurnee and Miss Lucy Gurnee, the cotillion was led by J. Frederic Tams and Miss Isabelle Gurnee. It has been several years since any festivity was given at 8 East Thirty-third street, but now that the house has been leased for a term of years te the Gurnees from William Waldorf Astor, it is probable that it will be the scene of many smart functions. Mr. and Mrs.
Hobart Chatfield-Taylor are to join the Coolidges of Boston at Malaga, Spain, and with them will visit the beautiful country home which was SO long occupied by Mr. Loring, Marquis of Caridad, formerly of Boston. The gardens of this place are world renowned, the araucarias, palms and deodars being of immense size.

COMING EVENTS The advent of real winter, with its chilling blasts, has occasioned an impetus in matters social and other forms of pastime which serve to while away the long hours of dreary evenings. Despite the proximity of the holidays, numerous cards are out for all manner of entertainments, ranging from the at home and debutantes' teas to the magnificent assemblies and Charity Ball. Although there have already been several events of sufficient importance to excite the interest of society's habitues, the season really opens to-morrow evening.
Ands a gay one it promises to be. One greatest features will be the unusually who large number of affairs for debutantes will be introduced to the social world. Overtopping all others in interest is the annual Charity Ball, which will be held at the Academy of Music on Tuesday evening, January 21 next.

The Executive Committee will outdo all previous efforts in the way of decorations and are at work upon a program which, if successful, will eclipse everything yet seen. The music this year will be furnished Hassler's Orchestra and Beale's Military Band. A new arrangement of the band stands will be provided by which it is hoped to give much better effect to the music. The orchestra will occupy a position in the centre of the parquet circle, and the band will have an elevated stand at the rear of the stage. It is probable that the ball will be opened with a hunting quadrille, and the committee is endeavoring to enlist the services of some leading society women to make the feature most attractive.
The first of the "Monday evening which takes place to-morrow evening at Natatorium Hall, practically sets the social ball of the season rolling. Mrs. George Boker once more assumes the management of these, by far the most successful and select affairs, and that is sufficient guarantee that the "class" will be kept up to its time-honored and exclusive standard. Next to the assemblies no event is anticipated by so much excitement and eagerness as the "class and to-morrow evening's a8- semblage is expected to be an extremely large one.

These delightful functions have always been warmly welcomed and have gained a great reputation. There is no doubt that this year the ball will be as attractive as ever. There is some talk of reviving the dinner dances, which were so successful two seasons ago. These dances, it will be remembered, were abandoned principally from hostesses, who found themselves because of the arduous us duties exacted in very trying upon the occasion of such festivities. There is no doubt that simplified the dinner dance can easily be made not only the most aeceptable, but, also, functions.
