people Joined to make that event sue.
cess and show their sympathy for the
fever stricken people of the South. Had
not Col. West been so generous in Civ
ing every aid in his power it is probable
that it would be impossible to raise Sc
largeNn amount in city where there
are daily so many calls from the needy
in its Immediate vicinity. 1t would be
hard to estimate with what gratitude the
proceeds of that ball will be received
among those people who are, almost
shut out from all human sympathy and
aid
The decidedly cool weather during the
past week has called forth fall costumes
in all their glory. a wrap Of some sort
becomes a necessity even in early au-
tum, and many pretty jackets are seen,
matching the dress i'll color, and lined
with bright tinted satin. Hoods are
made for ornament rather than use, and
are seen upon pelerineS. Their quaint
shapes and bright-sUriped lining add to
the beauty of those long. loose cloakS
which are the proper garment this sea-
son. In the capriciOuS weather of our
climate, 4 gOSSamer becomes necessity.
These garments are no longer made in
the ugly sack-like shape which used to
be suggestive of dark and gloomy days.
GOSSamers are now made in bright
plaidS and checks, having a coating of
rubber sufficient to keep out the damp
ness without spelling the beauty of the
garment.
Green still continues to be the pre-
vailing color for dresses. The brighter
hueS are no longer seen for street wear,
but the more subdued tones of sage or
myrtle. Stripes are much used. but
combined in so def way that they give
the same effect as if two or more ma
terials were combined.

Several weddings of note have oc-
Cured during the week. but have been
distinguished by the entire absence of
display of any sort. A number are an
nOunced for the coming week, some Of
which will be followed by elaborate re-
captions.
Society and literary people are vying
with each other in activity. During the
past week, the University societies
have met, elected officers and partially
prepared for their usual exercises,
which are always of high order of
merit, and afford much quiet social
amusement. The ChautauquanS are
vending their way homeward and pre-
pairing for their usual renewals of
friendship within the charmed circle
where all human knowledge is made to
contribute to progress. No meetings
have yet been held, but during the COM
ing month, there will be much interest
manifested in this branch of social and
literary amusement
-
During the coming week there are a
number of receptions and sOcials by
different clubs which will keep society
people busy and afford opportunities
for spending many pleasant hours.
