REALLY TOO BAD.
The Awful Reporter Is So
Busy in Society.
PUBLICITY OUT OF STYLE.
Nevertheless Everyone Will Read
the Following Notices OF
Weddings, Parties and
Other Entertain

THAT nothing can be done any more
in society," continued the society
belle who opened the conversation,
without you reporters writing up
the whole affair in your newspapers.
1t is quite out of style, you know to
have your name appear in print. L
don't mean just exactly that, but to
have it appear there with your con-
sent. Why l know of brilliant
wedding which occurred very
recently, and although we tried to
have the arrangements made very
secretly-oh, yes; l know it was in
one of our most fashionable churches,
and over three hundred guests were
invited, and there were four brides
maids and six ushers, and all of our
friends knew about it for weeks
with all our efforts to maintain
secrecy about TIE affair, a re-
porter called on the very day to get
an account. We demurred and almost
refused to give it; said we didn't like
newspaper notoriety,' it wasn't
fashionable to have it published"
we didn't care about it,
and it was only quiet af-
fair, 1--WE, of course, finally gave it
with a complete description of every
thing-you know it wonld never have
done for us to have appeared willing,
although, well, yes, we were rather
pleased" And so society expects to
have its doings recorded in the jour-
nails of news, and conduct its affairs
in secret and wishes to be coaxed into
telling them. What if we have faint
hearted reporters who consider no
no, and yes, yes?
SOCIAL CLUBS REORGANIZE.
The social clubs of the city are be-
ginning to think about recognizing
and commencing their amusements
for the winter. While we have a
large number of them we have not so
many as one would expect in SO large
a city, but they have the advantage
of being well organized and perIna-
nent affairs. The gaiety of the sea-
son here is largely dependent upon
the social clubs, as the number of
families who entertain extensively is
not very large.
The Assembly will not give its first
reception until cold weather has fairly
commenced. So many of its members
have been recently married or are
about to marry that it is probable
that large number of new members
will be admitted.
The ''Make Merry Progressive
Euchre" is always among the first to
enter into the pleasures of the winter
and will reunite during the latter part
of this month or early in November.
The s'Odd Circle" the Diamonds"
the "Winona,n the Conversations"
and a coterie of smaller euchre clubs
are all sending out the notices of their
first meeting, with the expectation of
arranging for the coming season.
A BRILLIANT WEDDING.
The chief topic of conversation in
social circles during the week was the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs John r.
Woodward, to Mr.. Edwin Robert
Spur, of Newark, in st. Johu's
Church, on Tuesday night. The we'd
ding was really a brilliant one, and
conducted in the most fashionable
manner. The dresses of the bride and
her bridesmaids were unusually hand
some and have won favorable COM
ment from all who saw them. Over
seven hundred guests witnessed the
ceremony, although only 1876 attended
the reception. The tronsseau of the
bride was elegant and tasteful, nearly
the entire outfit being imported Mr..
and Mrs. Spur will make their home
for the future in Newark.
1t is said that the debutantes this
year will be very few. Just exactly
who they will be is not yet known.
WHAT THE PALMA CLUB WILL DO. p
The Palma Club will begin its la
dies nights the latter part of this
month. This club intends holding
these pleasant receptions for the la
dies twice as often as has been done
during previous seasons. This an
nouncement met with cordial recep-
ton as there is nothing in the way of
social pleasures that is better attended
or more thoroughly enjoyed than the
Palma Club entertainments.
