Many Handsome Entertainments
Follow After Easter.

NOTES ABOUT PEOPLE

1t would have been rather hard to keep up
with such pace. The Rowland ball on
Easter Monday night the Carroll cotillion
on Tuesday and the McLanahan dance, the
Brice ball on Wednesday, the Hit dinner
and dance on Thursday. Mrs. Scott Town
sends dinner and ball at the Country Club
last night and the dinner and dance tonight
at the home Of Senator Lodge make up
fine list Society In general. however. had
nothing to do with these events, as the in
Vted guests were limited In numbers, and
the biggest stretch OF all was at the Brice
cotillion. when about 150 were entertained.
This dinner-dance. by the way, was the
most ambitious thing Of its kind ever heard
OF In this city. The arrangements were well
nigh perfect In every way. The dinner was
served as Hastily and as sxpeditiously as "
for an ordinary company. Between all these
cotnlions there were hundreds Of dollars
given away In favors. so, II society was
suffering from temporary financial suabar-
rassment during the early part of the year.
1t seems to have recovered its balance. In
the smart set nobody seems to be denying
themselves any Of the Injuries to which
they have been accustomed. and the costly
elegance Of the entertainments just now. In
which the official world Is scarcely heard of
at all shows that the residential element
