Miss May Ankeny's German
One Of the Weeks Social
Triumphs.
The st. Valentines Ball Given
by the Ladies' Auxiliary
at the West.
Cupid's Capers, and Minor
Happenings in the Social
WhiPl.

The past week has been lively one
in society, and although there has been
few events Of any great magnitude, the
small reception, card party, club dance
and birthday party has been so frequent
that few nights were lett society habit
ues to take their usual evenings recrea-
ton at the theaters. OF course st. Val
entine brought with him the usual
number of events on the evening he is
supposed to hold high carnival. The
notices of future events are scarce, and
bodies i'll for the giddy whlrl in the
near future, and the weary dane
ers will have a rest that Will
probably outlast their patience.
There should be a number Of weddings
following upon the heels OF st. falen-
tines week, as that is the time when
Cupid is supposed TO be most busy IN
Shying his darts promlscuousiy among
the serried ranks of the bachelor: 1t Is
expected that many should capltuiate
from the wounds received, and give the
rest of society a chance TO dance and
make merry at their expense. 1t is a
decidedly chilly day on the l4th OF Feb
ruary when the little winged deity does
not get in a bulfs-eye shot on some few
members of society. and fair and stern
habitueS are awaiting in GREATNESS Sus-
pense the reading of the list of victims.
