OF all the dull seasons the present Is
the dullest, in Scranton, at least, In |
many years. Among society's best
known element there has positively |
been no diversions for several weeks, |
excepting the Foster Barker wedding |
Thursday night, and there is nothing |
in immediate prospect. The last few
days Of the month and the first of July |
will witness the return from school or |
college of a large number Of young peo-
pie. but they will appear to disappear
with their parents into the country.
About what does not and will not occur |
there might be a great deal written.
