Fine Programme Rendered There BY
Well.Known Artists-RecOrd OF the
Marriages and Other Social Events
Of the Past Wcck-Persouals.
The present week was necessarily
quiet in a social way owing to the kir-
mess which not only occupied the at
tention Of the dancers but engaged the
attendance of parents and friends OF
the performers and interested every
body to such an extent that all else
was laid aside. And it must not be IN
ferred that the coming week VII! pc
unuslnsily gay, because there Will be
an exodus from the city of scores or
young and older persons who have been
kept in town since the middle of Janu-
ary by the kirmess rehearsals ana the
attending demands Speaking OF the
kirmess, it has offered a splendid med
ium for bringing about a certain kinu
Of social pleasure that has been most
enjoyable, especially SO in view of the
fact that but for the fete all kinds OF
society would have been gaping ana
yawning for something to do beside at
tending now and then n few house
parties or dancing the same old dances:
The affair has proved to be a use1ui
vent for pent-up tiredness OF the
same parties and dances which nave
been tho prominent means OF social ui-
version for the past two seasons.
