some noteworthy social event. Whlie
there have been no very imposing
events during the week, probably no

more full of largely attended receptions
and parties and club gatherings. In
many of these instances the parties have
been given by private individuals at
their homes, and have for this reason
been the more enjoyable. This activity
1ust preceding the holiday season, Is
more than could be expected of society.

ceiyed the guests.
