The Entertainment That Mr.. Cham
berlain Did Not Give.
SOME PLEASANT AFFAIRS.
Chat About People Well Known in
Society.

One of The keenest dsappointments Of
the season thus far will be found in the
fact that Hon. Joseph Chamberlain in
tended to have given a large ball before
the season waned, but before the arrange
ments had progressed very far changed
his mind. One Of the pleasant features
of his stay has been the marked attention
he has shown young lady prominent in
high official circles. The gossips have
almost arranged the wedding. Mr.. Cham
berlain has been feted and dined, but
there are some official people who are not
quite sure yet who he is. A lady asked
another, who stood fairly astonished,
"Who is this Mr. Chamberlain and his nice
English friend, Mr.. Putnam, whom /
meet everywhere Were they men of
note at home? What are they doing here,
anyway Were they staying at the
Metropolitan"
