Are to Come-Weddings, Teas and

Observation-Disclosures of More or Less
Importance to Almost livery One.
Another week Of gayety has passed never
to be recalled. save only in retrospect.
Perhaps there were not so many-what
shall l say-fatiguing entertainments as
during the preceding week. Still there was
no idleness In the "social world" and one
thing gave place to another, be it great or
small. There have been teas, dinners,
music and many small affairs to fill the
time with pleasure. Very little has been
seen at the thester, and even that little was
only fair. Although there was scarcely
any acting in the ideal life think none Of
us can forget the fact that three dreadful
tragedies have been enacted in the real life
and yet "the world moves on apace."
The complimentary concert rendered Miss
Csrruthers took place at Masonic temple,
Tuesday evening. The audience was not
only large, but a most cultured and apprc-
ciative one. Ten numbers made uo the
programme, but two Of them, owing to the
sudden indispositIon of Mr.. Walker. had TO
be omitted-a BARITONE solo, and a trio,
THE Mariners" for soprano, tenor and
bass. There was a murmur OF regret all
over the hall when Mr.. Rebarer
announced the fact that Mr.. Walker
was Ill and could not appear. The concert
was begun by trio for pisna aud violin by
a
Coburn, and was warmly applauded. Mr..
Rebsrer kindly filed in the next number,
which otherwise would have been vacant.
and sang overwhelmingly "MarRharitan
Mrs. Haynes had not been heard in public
for a long while, and when she came upon
the stage was greeted with a storm OF ap-
plause, and sang "Ah, So True" with violin
obligato. Mrs. Haynes was Ia good voice
and her singing was delightful. For an
encore she sang Dutch Dolls.n The fourth
number on the programme was Fra
Diavolo, with variations. 1t is not often
that the public have an opportunity OF
hearing Me. Douglass on the violin, and his
playing was indeed treat. In response
to hearty encore he played a charming
"Berceuse" by Henri Herr. Mrs Finnie
then sang. Hearts Springtime, y and gave
as an encore, Dear Heat" Miss Car
ruthers herself opened the second part
Of the programme. Her reception
was indeed hearty, and there was
prolonged applause. Miss Carruthers sang
"Revel My Heart" Though there was a
slight nervousness at first, owing no doubt
TO a feeling Of great responsibility, it was
soon overcome, and this young singer and
student sang her best, and retired amid
round of loud applause. Her encore was
1.-THE Oath" and this brought forth more
applause. So great was it, that the youug
lady was compelled TO appear for the third
time and make her bow TO the audience
Then followed ScAubert's "Serenade" by Mr..
Rebarer, who sang unusually well, and was
compelled to'repeat the song. Mrs. Haynes
was heard at her best in ITO Sevilla,n and it
Is needless TO say that the rendition OF this
song brought forth for an encore the sweet
little song, polly and l." The last num-
Der, an arrangement from La Traviata,n
was exquisite. Miss Coburn at the organ,
Mr.. Steward at the piano and Mr.. Douglass
the violin. The instruments were in perfect
tune, and handled az they we're, left nothing
TO be desired. Thus closed a most successful
home concert" Successful unsteady, and
IL is hoped financially. The entire work
was under the direction of Mr.. Steward and
the patronage Of the following ladies: Mrs.
w. w. Gordon, Mrs G.. Owens, Mrs. A. f.
Moynelo, Mrs. S. Einstein, Mrs. D. G.
Purse, Mrs. Octavus Cohen, Mrs. Munner-

uted and are being sold with gratifying

A very amusing thing occurred at the last
german. A young gentleman who as not
aware that the LADIES were to invite the men
for the Leap Year ball. had Just asked a
young lady to 60 to it with him He had
hardly gotten through giving this invita-
ton when the announcement was publicly
made that the tables would be completely
turned. and the ladies were to do the inyit-
ing. He, still sitting by the side of the
yonng lady, colored up to the roots OF his
hair, and endeavored to make an apology
for his mistake, but the young lady see
ing his confusion, took pity on him
and very nicely replied, 20, that's all right.
was going to asK you anyhow" Although
this young man may appear 20 feel very
badly about his mistake, 1 will venture to
say that he doesn't feel half SO badly as
those young men who have not received in :
vitations.
