Society people will have more than
they can attend to next week, and
many pleasant and important events
will take place before society settles
down to Lenten fasts and prayers.
Society was just little bit surprised.
when cards were sent out over week
ago by Mrs. William Brinkerhoff and
Miss Brinkerhoff for anHsAt Homen
for Tuesday, February II. This is
the first affair the Brinkerhoff's have
given for number of years, and al
though Miss Brinerhoff made herdebut
early in the winter, this reception is
really given in honor of the event, as
well as a house warming, for they
have occupied their present residence
on Summit avenue but a short time.
The house is admirably adapted for
entertaining, and has been deliberately
and artistically fitted up The recep-
ton, which will be from four to seven
o'clock and followed by a dance, is
being much discussed by those who
have received invitations ana by those
who have not, but all agree that it
will be most elaborate, and neither
care nor ingenguity has beenspared to
make 1t a success. Miss Brinkerhoff
will have Miss BedIe to receive with
her, ard a friend or two of Mrs.
Brinkerhoff's will assist her.
CLOSED THE SEASON.
On Thursday night the Assembly
We're entertained by Miss Frank Steel
as previously announced, and which
closed the regular season of the club,
whose member always strictly observe
the Lenten season. l was told that
the club had received an invitation
from Mrs. William Bumstead to hold
reception in her new house after
Lent, but whether the reception will
take place is not yet known. The
Assembly has never had finer recep-
tions than this season, and the mem
beers have been prominently FORUM
ate in their selection of the residences
at which to hold it, and the largest
houses placed at their disposal were
taken No house could be better
adapted for receiving a large as
semblage than the residence of Mrs.
Steel, and though many were present
the rooms were at no time crowded.
A NEW DANCING CLASS.
Dancing classes are generally very
pleasant affairs when conducted in an
informal way and when the member
ship is made up of congenial people.
There are seldom more than two or
three in the city in one season, and /
have known seasons when there was
but one class. The class organized
and presided over by Miss <. f. G.
Young last winter was not re-ofganized
this year, Mrs. Young being in mourn
ing.
There has just sprung to life, how
ever q new dancing class which is one
of the pleasantest that one can imagine.
1t is conducted in quite an informal
manner which probably gives the
class it's real and genuine interest.
/ The class meets once in two weeks.
On Thursday night it was entertained
by Mr.. and Mrs. w. E. Valeatine, of
Wayne street who are active in making
the class a success. There are about
twenty-five members and the evenings
OF meeting are much enjoyed.
