statement that never in recent years
has Scranton experienced such dull
holiday social season as during the two
weeks just passed. OF course, there
was here and there a small and early,
q sleighride party. a family gathering,
or a house dance and the like, but the
large and dressy formal thing was
conspicuous only by ats loss.
Young folks will have good times
you can't suppress them-but this win
ter they have longed in vain for the
formal and swell events which are usu-
ally prepared for week in advance,
and not forgotten until long afterward.
Many reasons have been advanced. but
if an honest vote were taken it would
probably be found that paterfamihas
has not as much ready money as he had
three and four years ago. 1t may
seem coarse to associate a persons
pocket-book with social doings, but
there is no shying the fact that if
business is dun the effect will be ap-
parent on social pastimes. Such is
the sentiment expressed by many
who have one thumb on the pulse of
business and the other on the pulse of
society.
1t cost the Bachelors about 5000 to
give their ball on New Years eve, and
yet the revenue from the affair netted
less than a half-dollar over the total
expenditure. This result far exceeded
ulre expectations of the committee, and
WILL probably be the means Of making
the Bachelors ball a PERMANENT an
nual feature.
The Bachelors held q meeting Thurs
day evening and reelected the "a COM
Intttee. II. p. Simpson was chosen presi-
dent; A. G.. Hunt, treasurer, and b. T..
Watson, secretary. After the ball Of a
year ago there was a deficit
in the treasury of $25-and there
by hangs tale. During the
past week a prominent business
man, resident of Green Ridge, sent
the Bachelors check for $25, and an
other well-known gentleman, of the
central city. sent a check for $40.
Whether or not these donations were
proferred because the gentlemen had
learned of the 1894 deficit does not ap-
pear, but the point of the episode lies
in the fact that the Bachelors returned
the checks with thanks. They would
have been glad Ito have sold tickets for
the amounts mentioned, but the line
was drawn on the aftermath.
Several conferences have been held
during the last few days among the
well Known men and women interested
IN tho ness to be given next month
