Leaders of the Seasons Gayety.
PARTIES, WEDDINGS AND TEAS
The Gamut OF the Weeks Events Sounded
in Short Paragraphs-Gucsts and En-.
tertainers-Pcrsonal Mention Re.
duced TO a Compact Compass.

Probably no week since the end Of the
summer season has been so devoid of
social activity as the week just passed.
This condition was due, no doubt TO the
excitement before election and the after
math which followed. Why politics
should ruffle the plans of society does
appear. but II IL an undisputed condi-
tion and not a theory nevertheless.
Now that the wheels Of business, reli-
gion and other phases of life are again
allowed to turn normally, the social
world may be allowed 10 continue its
way nninterruptedly.
