That men are quite an useful if not
necessary adjunct iii social matters
is a generally accepted fact, but the
truth of it was made plain during the
present week. The men were so en-
crossed in the election and then its re-
suits that little or no social matters OF
any kind We're attempted, and II at
tempted would probably have met with
not more than Indifferent success. There
might have been some affairs in when
women only could have participated,
hut the fact that there was nothing Is
an indication that women, as well as
the sterner sex, have been somSwhat
occupied with the political questions al
issue.
Many are beginning to look forward
even this early to the Bachelors ball
which this year will be given on New
Years night. "Better than ever be-
fore" has been true or cacn of these
magnificent dances and an idea OF .he
excellence of the one now approaching
may be inferred from the determination
of its managers to have it in Splendor,
arrangement and all else better than
any of its predecessors. 1t is under
stood there is to be some pronounced
departures in the way of music ana
supper. but concerning these the Bach
elor officers are non communicative at
present.
Before the toss to decide where the
third and odd game of golf between the
Scranton and Wilkcs-Barre country
club teams should be played, it was
agreed between the captains that there
should be no attempt made to provide
lunch nor should there be any other
form of entertainment provided. SO
this afternoons game, the final one III
the match, will witness little else be-
sides the game itself and large gath
ering of society folk. But the game and
the gathering will be more than little.
Wilkes-Barre won the first game by >
holes up and Scranton the second by \
holes up, SO it is an even chance on this
afternoons result. There will probably
he a large constituency with the visit
ing team. Play will be called at 1.30
O'clock Captain II. II. Watkins. IL. p.
Simpson, John Brooks and +. c. Fuller
Will undoubtedly be four OF the Scran-
ton teams six players. The other two
will be chosen from among Messrs.
Atherton, a. Z. Hunt, 1r, Stlwell and
Manville. +. H. Jermyn. who it was
supposed would be one OF the team, will
be out of town today.
