been In many respect. of the most remarkable on
record and yet with all the spcndor OF the balls and
private entertainment, It has been conceded by all
who have had 10 do with social affair iDr the last
twenty years and more that there has been lack
of something. void which has been hard fiji.
The winter without season Of opera has had every
thing 10 do with th, singular condition Of affairs.
for the opera always acts H. Incentive TO further
entertaining. The subscription concerts at private
Eoascs and the reception, with music given by Miss
Calender and Mis- De Fore, have In measure
made up for the opera. but such musical gathering,
Of necessity only mali proportion Of general society
has been Included. The subscription bal, have been
continued for two,core years. but no individual
has given general ball. The exclusive and almost
selfish dinner dance, hav" occupied the attention of
n small circle In society. These dances. owing the
magnlhccnce OF the houses In which thcy have been
given. sand qVt In bold relief the distinctive feature
OF tho winter. The great plumber OF families In
mourning has also had effect the season.
