raIitv they had found a dainty white
book whose pages were half filled with
writing in a round and girlish hand.
The pages at which it was opened were
somewhat ruffied by the ruthless pas
sage, but the outlines were quite dis
tinct.
My Diary-Mondav: This week
starts out Splendidly right at the very
beginning. | think it was a splendid
idea on the part of Mrs. Leonard Day to
give her german on Monday eve. 1t is
a novel time for a german, and good
time, too. Every one was bright and
Jolly, and so the dancing was the very
best. The West hotel is such lovely
place for private parties, and the ordin-
ary was handSomer last night than l ever
saw it before. The effect of the chang
ing lights at the beginning of the even
ing was such surprise and SO pretty.
The promenade in a procession through
that long hall, from the parlor to the
ball room, after Mrs. Day had received
Us all so nicely, was splendid. know
we made a handsome party, for every
one of the ladies were so prettily
dressed. and they were all pretty them
selves. too, if they were most of them
young married ladies.
Tuesday, This evening | had the
most delightful time at Mrs. VIII G.
NOrthrup's party. The house was full
of nice people; there must have been
fifty there. Mrs. Northrup has such a
pretty home, there on Ninth street, in
which to receive her friends, and she
knows how to make everyone enjoy
themselves. The party was something
new-a ''eObweb party'-and we all
found ourselves perfectly entangled in
a big web before we knew it, but the
''faY0rS" we secured by untangling
ourselves paid us for the trouble. [
think | shall give Just such party my
self some time.
"Wednesday-Mrs r. B. Lapgdon's
reception this afternoon was really ele-
CANT. Mrs. Langdon and Mrs. TrueS-
dale both are adopts at receiving, and
that makes it so pleasant. Mrs. Lang
don's handsome big residence was Just
made a garden with the chrySanthe-
NUNS. and the dining room was Splen-
didly decorated with La France roses.
Then the music was grand, and made
the reception just perfect. l dote on
DAMS orchestra, any how. | heard
some one say there were 800 ladies pres
ent during the afternoon.
Pm New Yorker because my mother
used to be, so went to the New York
handsome young man just out from
New YaWk." 1t Was a stormy night,
but there was nice crowd present for
all that, and the dancing was charming.
i liked the musical programme, too, and
think the two make a pleasant pro-
gramme for the evening.
This afternoon | received an invita-
ton to the Flambeau military ball, and
from one of those pretty Flambeaus,
too. l hone he will wear his uniform !;
they re too cute for anything. Of course
] am going.
'Thursday-Two ladies' receptions in
one afternoon, and both of them grand
affairs, too. First, / went to Mrs.
Charles A. Bovey's, at her pretty home
on Thirteenth street and Harmon place,
and after spending a time there, l went
to Mrs. NJ. B. Rooms home, over on
Park avenue, to the reception given by
her and Mrs. Ezra F. Elliot. At the
Bovey reception the house was elegantly
decorated with roses and ehrySanthe-
NUNS and palms. Mrs. Frank a. Bovey
and Miss R0vey received with Mrs.
BOvey. 1t was a real formal affair.
''At Mrs. Rooms | had Just a lovely
time. think Mrs. Koon is a charming
lady, and her pretty home was just a
bower of chrySanthemums. There were
SOV ladleS present TINS afternoon, and
thare will be another reception tO-mor-
row afternoon when there will be 200
more. [ almost wish l could go again.
Friday: l had to let my diary go
last night, it was so very. very late when
got home from the Flambeau club mil
itary ball, and now it is Saturday after
noon. It's lovely weather. and Pm sit
ting by my open window it's so warm.
know / should not sit in this breeze.
though. OH the Flambeau ball was
lovely. i never danced so much in nv
life before at one time; and armory hall
is so big and those military gentlemen
gallOp so. 1t was nice though. and the
dancers looked very pretty-everything
was so bright and there was so much
room. The music was good. Love to
dance with men in uniform. Some of
the girls just glOwed with the excite
ment Of the dance, and many of them
were dressed so fascinatingly that they
looked better to be blushing. wonder
if | blushed that night. l know l must
have once, but it was dark in the car
riage. Myi didn't have any idea that
be was going to-"
At this place the light book must have
escaped the fair writer on the wings of
the wind. If the young lady desires
the diary she will find it at the GLOBE
Editorial rooms.
