The merry jingle of sleighbells has
been pleasures accompaniment during
the week and sleighing and skating
parties have become the order of the
hour, the beloved wheel having been
carefully stored away to await the
advent of spring and weather more
suitable for wheeling purposes. The
sleighing has been ideal for a few days
and the avenues have been gay with
merry parties and the small boy has
been nearly distracted between his de-
sire to hitch" onto every passing cut
ter and bob" and his equal delight in
the pleasures of snowballing. Formid-
able snow forts have arisen as though
by magic, and many Of the grounds
of Summit avenue residences are adorn-
ed with enormous snow men. The
social events of the week, in themselves
charming affairs, seemed all the more
bright and pretty by contrast with the
wintry weather without doors, the
warmth and color within being produc-
tive of delightful feeling of good fell
lowship.
The most brilliant affair of the week
was the german in Lifts hall Thursday
