1t Turned Out to Be One Of
the Most Brilliant Of the
Whole Year.
Balls. Receptions and Dinner
Parties Thicker Than
Politicians.
General Resume Of All That
Society's Favorites Have
Been Doing.

Without promising very much last
week turned out to be one of the most
brilliant weeks of the year socially.
The holidays seemed but to give an eX-
cuSe for all sorts of gaietieS. Recep-
tons. dinner parties and dancing par
ties bloSsomed on every branch of every
Christmas tree in the city. The brilliant
event of the week was the reception to
the Hardware iilee, Banjo and Mandolin
clubs at Villa Rosa, given by Mrs.
DoriluS Morrison. All the prominent
people of the city were there. The spa
eiouS parlors were crowded until we'll
OH toward the matutinal hours. Nearly
every social club III the city came in
during the week with some form of
amusement. New Years eve was
crowded with dances. The two balls
Friday night brought to 4 fitting close a
remarkable week for social activity,
The ForeSterS danced at Masonic Tenn
pie, and the travelling men and their
friends made merry at the Nicoliet
house. The drummerS. with their char
acteriStlc huStling ability, succeeded in
giving as successful an entertainment
as has ever been given in the city. The
only marked social event that is sched
uled at present is the ball of the Lurline
Boat club which will occur at the West
hotel on the evening of Jan. IA. 1t will
certainly be one of the events of the
winter
