SOCIAL SAYINGS AND D0INGS.

Now that Cupid has tightly drawn in his
golden reins, there is decided lull for the
rest of the week in all wedding festivities.
The many delightful Halloween parties may
be fruitful in time TO come Of plighted troth
and marital vows, but for a week at least
there will be no weddings of any note While
there are any number of quiet. impromptu
affairs and small dinners, there is very little
going on of much moment. Many of society's
votaries, who returned TO the city when the
biting winds of the seashore made further
stay there impossible. have not yet set day
for receiving, but have been occupied in pay
ing duty calls to dear, good people of their
acquaintance, but who are not numbered
among the smart set on their visiting list for
the winter. The golden autumn leaves are
changing rapidly 10 the sere and yellow, and
the cracking yule log will not send out suffi-
cient glow TO make further stay at country
homes any longer pleasant, so many of the
handsome residences, now still closed, will
put on an air of festive activity.
