STILL MAINTAINS THE PACE
The Gentle Movement Of Social Machinery
Continues Unchecked,
THERE HAVE BEEN MORE ACTIVE WEEKS
Seven Days Just Past Have Afforded
n Large Number of Pleasant Events,
which Are More particularly
Described UclOw.

Tho wheels OF society continue 10 TeNoN'
at a fair rate OF speed and to grind out
roodly number OF events Of more than com
mon interest Neither the cares Of business
nor the excitement Of political campaign
Of unparalleled earncstness seem TO nave
any untoward effect upon the easy now OF
pleasant happenings which make life better
worth living and its burdens more csslly
borne. A study OF the columns which FOL
low will show that, although nothing oil
great magnitude hag taken place during the
past week. there have been affairs enough
OF smaller size TO make the period busy
one and that few functions have even
been entitled to be denominated large.
The week to come. Immediately preceding
the election, is not likely to furnish great
many events of special interest. The luster
OF the first Monday Night club ball, now
ever, shines goriously In advance anu
much pleasure is anticipated by those VINO
have arrived at membership The activity
which peryadcs the circles Of society most
nearly Interested in this assembly Is shown
by the fact that the limit OF membership
In the club, already Cnce raised IN re-
Spouse to general demand, Is more thah
reached-that Is to say, there are Sixty
couples now on the roster, and many more
looking through the fence which the limiting
rule has erected between them and fuli
privileges. This is a hopeful sign and one
the significance OF which should not be
misunderstood nor its Importance under
rated.
The Burgess Brown wedding, which Is set
down for Wednesday evening, with large
reception to follow, will doubtless be one
OF the most brilliant occasions OF the sea-
SON Two more universally popular young
people 1t would be difficult to find, and
as IL Is understood that the list of guests
hidden to the reception Is large one 1t
cannot be questioned that all signs point
to a most auspicious event.

Happy Hollow" has always been famous
for the lavishness of its hospitality and the
warm cordiality of its greeting to it's guests.
Successive groups of young people have been
entertained there in all the years that the
host and hostess, ever young at heart. have
been there to welcome their friends. As
these various sets have grown older and
married and withdrawn in some measure
from the more active social circles. they
have still retained a warm affection for
the always open house and for the kindly
dwellers within its walls; and many OF them
still count their too infrequent reunions
under the old conditions among the mos;
delightful experiences OF their lives. Such
group OF women was entertained at lunch
con last Thursday afternoon by Mr. and Mrs.
