SOCIETY NEWS.
A Pleasant Week for the
Young Folks.

Last week was a memorable one for the
young folks of our town, in the way of
social festivities, commencing on Monday
night with the dance given by the Misses
Patterson, and continued throughout the
entire week, in a series Of dances and re-
ceptions, which viii be remembered with
pleasure by all the participants in after
years.
On Tuesday evening, Mr.. and Mrs. Jos.
Woodrow, ofthe Ellicott House, entertain
ed a party Of young friends by dance in
their spacious parlors, to which about ten
couples were invited, who "tripped the
light fantastic until the early hours ofthe
morning. Mrs. Woodrow makes charm
ing hostess, and entertains her guests very
handsomely, while her genial, big-hearted
husband has happy knack OF making all
his guests feel at home. Mr.. and Mrs. w.
are very popular with the young folks.
Thursday evening, Mrs. J. J. Pugsley,
gave party at her mothers elegant resi-
dence on East Main street, for Mr.. Jno.
Buckingham, who is guest of Col. Trim
ble's. The company that assembled was
small, consisting Of only eight or ten coup
les, but was nevertheless merry one. Mrs.
Pugsley "receives" in very graceful and
hospitable manner, and as a hostess has
few equals, and no superiors in the "Model
Town" An hour or two was spent in
dancing, when the company repaired to
the dining-room, where refreshments were
served, to which all did full justice. Then
dancing was again resumed, and with
promenading in the halls, and the pleasant
tsts-q-ieie8 in the various hooks and corners
Of the handsome establishment, all present
We're handsomely entertained, and were
truly sorry when the time arrived for them
to pay their adieus to thefair hostess. Mrs.
Pugsley has made a host of young friends,
who can but remember her with pleasant
recollectons
Friday evening, Col. and Mrs. Trimble
gave party for Mr. Buckingham, at their
handsome home in the eastern suburbs, at
which a number of guests enjoyed a very
pleasant time. The usual entertainment
of dancing was omitted, but the omission
was scarcely noticed from the fact that
the time was pleasantly and proftably
spent in examining the works of art, for
which Col. Trimble's home is noted, and
partaking Of the delicious refreshments
served in the large dining-rooms, as well
as in conversing, and indulging in num-
Der of games, which the young folks
always enjoy. Col. and Mrs. Trimble did
everything in their power to make the
time pass pleasantly, and it is scarcely
necessary to add that they succeeded ad-
mirably. The Col is a true gentleman OF
the old school, while Mrs. Trimble seems
to be naturally possessed Of the rare gift Of
entertaining almost without an effort.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM NJ. Meek gave a re-
ception last Friday evening for their son
Charles and wife of LoYeland, at their res
idence on East Main street. A large mum
Der ofinvitations were issued, and the oc-
casion was an enjoyable one for all the
participants.
Mr.. Livy B. Boyd and Miss Alice N.
Bell, both Of this place, are to be married
to-day "wednesday at o'clock, at TIE
Episcopal church. A large number Of invi-
tations have been issued, and the affair has
been the chief topic of conversation in So
ciaI circles for a week past. The wedding
will be very fashionable one, and the
happy couple viii leave on the ? o'clock
train for short wedding tour. On their
return they will make their home for the
present, at Mr.. J. NJ Boyd's handsome res
idence on West Walnut street. The best
wishes Of the community attend them, and
the Ncrs heartily tenders its congratula-
tions.
