Society Notes.

houses where usually guests have been accustomed
to encounter the ever incoming and outgoing stream
of people placid lull had taken the place of the
former throng and quiet prevailed In many
spects this change was preferable and highly desr-
able since 1t gave for the once an opportunity OF
holding really connected conversation where for
and smile, passing each one On TO make room for
those who stood behind impatiently awaiting their
turn.
Mrs McMichael was assisted III receiving by Miss
Daisy Stewart, Miss Morgan and Miss Wallach, and
