SOCIETY NOTES.


I'VE shall be pleased 10 receives notice Of
social events for this column
Society in Wilmington has been eN-
ceedingly duh the present winter The
only thing of note being the regular fort
nightly meetings Of Mrs. General Zinn's
dancing class in Professor Websters
rooms. The last meeting Of this class
last Thursday evening was very bril-
liant affair Mrs. linn gets much praise
for her successful management of the
classes. The cause of the dearth OF so.
ciety events is that a number Of families
haue been compelled to retire owing to
death visitation. The fashionable period
for throwing of the emblems of
mourning will expire by the end
of next month and society people will
| pay up for the penance of the last two
months. As this is true of Wilmington
so is it equally true of towns down the
| state. Last winter Dover had nightly
events it being perfect round Of balls,
evening companies and euchre parties.
This winter there has not been a half
dozen events of any kind, Indeed the
only things that have taken place to add
any variance to the monotony of dull
winter has been few weddings. There
is nothing announced as far as Is known
for a week ahead in Wilmington, Dover
or Smyrna.
