SOCIAL REVIEW.

with the usual round of small social
dement's and little local functions,
work has been enlivened
., :. few sensations. Socially 1t has
)een affirmatively dull and dreary.
The cool weather put damper on
lawn parties and lawn dresses. Indeed
rot weather is indispensable for tennis,
'ce-cream socials, hammock swinging
)r picnics of any sort. 1t has not even
,een warm enough to eat cherries. The
crop has been extra fine. They are
4rger than small walnuts and the trees
re fairly bending underneath them.

THE MONTHLY SPECIAL
At the State Insane asylum last
light by the attendants, and their in
tied friends, was enjoyed by about
hundred people last night. 1t was sup.
jlied with very good orchestra. This
monthly occasion for respite from the
necessary discipline that prevails in

Ileving the tension on the nerves of the
employees, aud is always enjoyed by a
selected circle of visitors.
