 There seems to be great deal of wrangling going on in certain society circles of this city, which, if it is not stopped soon, will duplicate prominent society people in disturbance not to be desired.
 The wrangling is all over a few anonymous letters that were recently published in two of the leading papers. The chief question seems to be what constitutes society in this city?"
 After careful investigation, have found that there is no division of so- ciety here, commonly known as "The Four Hundred" Those who are styl- ing themselves this (pray tell, who is their leader) are doing it for the sake of notoriety.
 Society in this city is divided almost entirely into cliques; but the members of these respective cliques are all of the same social standing. Wealth and position must be accompanied by hon or and integrity to hold a place in good society here.
 Money is power, it is true, but intel ligence, character, public spirit and moral virtues are powers too, and far nobler ones.
 From now on until the first of the year society news will be rather scarce. Those who are usually entertaining are now occupied with the making of Christmas presents; and wedding pres ents, too, for there are to be some very stylish weddings soon. And, too, so- ciety girls are patiently waiting for the opening of the new Maricopa club rooms. Our social season will the have begun in earnest and society '"buds" will have to begin taking regu- lar beauty sleeps" in order to hold out during the season, for there is no end of events being talked of.
 The club will give it's second hop December 2S at Redewill hall. At this
 
 the club will be known in the future.

 The Woodmen of the World have completed all plans for their annual ball to be given in honor of the opening of it's new hall and it is now definitely announced that it will be held the ev- ening of December IS.
