The political epidemic cannot fail to affect
q certain proportion of the seasons eligible
men, and the big opening dances have been
thoughtfully set for dates when the fever
will be largely allayed. But any general
subject of enthusiasm is welcome under
some aspects, and. as consequence, we are
having numerous social gatherings where
the gentlemen are invited and the ladies
attend-to forget the everlasting tissues OF
the day." What more importantissue exists
for the debutaute than the latest mode, and
even the gentlemen find 1t refreshing
change to leave canyaSSing" and tickets"
to gossip about the coming cotillonS and the
coming bellies. Teas, luncheons, even din
neTs and pleasant musical evenings are
among our main harbors of refuge during
the ferceness of the political storm.

torily settles the locale.
