\ The CAV season is really on. If the program
Of the past week is kept up there will be no
| complaints, but what il will be quite up to
| the mark. Without much fuss or feathers the
| balls and dances followed each other in a happy
| kind of a way every night almost the past week
/ until everybody who went to them all would be
4 iuat we'll nless ad IN the list was n short
| for the coming six days. The Brice dance not
| only was well attended by town folks, but quite
g number Of New Workers are said to haye come
| on for it. On the whole the ball room received
| . delightful christening, and all sorts of
! pleasant things are being said Of it and its
| lucky owners. The cotilion was participated
/ in by about a hundred persons. One of the
favors were corsage bouquets of lilies of the
valley for the ladies and boutonnieres for the
| men of the same flower, all tied with long white
| ribbons. Supper served at small round
| tables, each with appropriate centerpiece.
| 1t is not likely that Mrs. Brice will feel like
giving any more large parties this season on the
| order of her tea. The invitations for that were
| liberal enough to suit everybody, and the OPP
| portunity to have look into the rejuvenated
| mansion WA not neglected. Senator and Mrs.
| Brice going right along through the winter
| with a series OF dinners, for VIII 4ch indeed their
| new home il particularly adapted They have
| cards out for the 4th, 11th and 18th, and will
give another dinner on the 25th Of next month.
| The Thursday evening dance the past week
was a great success, but it could hardly fail to
be so under the management it has. 1t is I'M
derstood that the party will be KEEP: at its pres
! ent limits and every effort will be made to give
| the participants a real good time without any
| great pretensions or expenditures

4 which the guests were hidden at 10 clock,
| company three times AZ large came in.
| There has been a good deal Of speculation
whether or not the debut Of Miss Morton would
| be announced by The parents in some splendid
| way. The absence Of Mrs. Morton rather
heightened the idea that perhaps nothing out
\ of the ordinary intended. The very con-
\ trary is however, the truth. Miss Morton's
debut party will be given on January 9. A
large cotiDion, preceded by dinner, is
| the form that it will take. The din
ner will be laid on small tables in
| the large dining room. and will be all cleared
away when the hour for the cotillion arrives.
In other words. all the customs of Patrarch's
ball will obtain and the event will be worthy
| the importance of the occasion and the hand
| soonest entertainment ever given here at the
\ Vice Presidential mansion.
| Among the recently announced engagements
is that of Miss Lily Elliot, daughter Of Lieut..
| Col George Elliot Of the United States army.
