RESUME OF SOCIETY
The First Assembly Ball the
Leading Event.
THE HERALD's CARD BASKET
HOLIDAYS Interfered Materially with Public
and Private Entertainments, but Few
Notable Ones were Given.

During the past week society has re-
Taxed its hold upon the time and attentions
of it's constituents, in consequence OF
which festivities have been abandoned.
The Assembly ball, to which all efforts
have been directed in society for the past
few weeks, was held on Thursday night.
The inactivity can be overlooked, as the
magnificence of this ball quite compensates
for the quiet which reIgned supreme pre-
viously.
The first of this series of balls to be
held during the season, under the patron
age of our most select social circles, was
MAGNIFICENT affair. 1t partook OF the lnfor-
malities so agreeable to a congenlal gather
ing, which lent an added charm 10 the ele-
CANT mode of entertaining. The hnutstord,
as a festive hall, is a glorious success, and
in no small degree did 1t contribute 10 Ihe
pleasures of the evening.
The Iowa association rendered a recep-
ton to its friends and Iowa residents at
the parlors of the Utah commission Mon
day night A most delightful evening was
spent in playing cards, listening to good
speeches replete with amusing anecdotes,
partaking of refreshments and general con-
yersation. The officers for the ensuing
year were elected, and under their superior
generalship a number of charming social
gatherings will be held.
