parties were not quite so frequent yee
they were no less brilliant and pleasing.
A luncheon party was introduced during
the week, which promises to be feature
in society events in the future. ficnli
parties are becoming the rage and quite
few are arranged for this week. The
churches have not been behind in the
matter of entertainments, but have held
number OF unique and pleasing ones.
Very elaborate toilets are being worn and
the iadiee are paying more attention to
the matter of dress. The gentlemen have
had little chance to enjoy society life dur
ing the past week as most OF the parties
ara afternoon parties and only the ladies'
we're invited.
