SOCIAL DOINGS.

All at once, in the midst OF the bright
social season that began the New Year,
comes a lull, a complete calm. Nothing OF
moment to record for this week in society,
and what is worse, nothing very much for
next There is at least one date, however,
sure to be Of Importance, ana That is the
fifteenth of this month. next Monday, when
there will be great wedding festivities at the
old Flemming mansion on Grand street,

The club will be entertained by Mrs. w. A.
Durrie, Jr., at her residence OF Glenwood
/ avenue. The subject is Ludwig Won Bee
thoven, and from what I have heard the pro-
gramme promises exceedingly well. Mrs.
Frank Cavalh will play the so-called "Wald-
stein Sonata Mr.. Gustav L. Becker the
sonata Appassionata, and Mr.. Louis R.
Dressler and Mr.. Victor Baier a four-hand
arrangement of a movement from the Eroica.
Mr.. William Hunter Brown will sing
of the programme. The illness of Miss
Florence Turner, which has obscured her
voice for SO long, has deprived the Fort
nightly of one of its chiefest charms.

land, but the club is in session meanwhile.

The annual dinner of the Hudson County
Bar Association, held on Wednesday even
ing at the Hotel Washington. proved a

trusted. Speeches were made by President
Record, Mr.. John W. Griggs, of Paterson,

den, and Mr.. George M. Robson.
1t sounds odd to say that the most i'm
portant event in Jersey City society this
week took place in England, but it is not fan
wrong, 1t was the marriage of Mr.. Ben
nington Randolph Bedle, son of Ex-Governor
Joseph D. Bedle, to Miss Lillian Hutton
which was celebrated in Sheffield, where Mr.
Bedle is United States Consul. Both bride
and groom are ~well-known in this city.
The wedding of Miss Elizabeth Kellar tc

Miss Amelia B. Meyers. who occupies the
chair of elocution and oratory at Hasbroucl
Institute, is drilling more than fifty young
people for a Dickens Carnival" which viii
be held in Hasbrouck Hall, probably just
before Lent. All the prominent characters
in the novels of Charles Dickens will be i'm
~personated, The entertainment will begin
with a procession in which all the character
will appear and continue with tableaux re
presenting familiar scenes, recitations n 6
number of dialogues. 1t can be readily
understood how much work Miss Meyers has
undertaken. Yet she will undoubtedly bring
out everything successfully, and make this
affair. which is, by the way, to close with {
dance, as much of a society event as most Of
the entertainments held in Hasbrouck Hall
