The event which marked the social
gatherings of the week was the Good

liant one and will be hard to excel by any
other which may take place during the
winter. Two other pretty affairs We're
the De Groote-Doneto and Hedges OIL
colt weddings. The week was inaugur-
ated by the quiet home marriage of Miss
Desmond to Mr.. Shields. Mrs. Jauch
and Miss Bessie Bonsall gave paper

dinner was given Friday evening by
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred C. Howes at their
home on West Twenty eighth street
Yellow was the color scheme chosen,
crysanthemums being used with much
artistic taste A large bowl of them
occupied the center of the table and run
ming lengthwise of the snowy damask
were yellow ribbons and strands of smi-
lax picked out with crysanthemums.
Failing over the pretty appointments
were ropes of smilax and yellow ribbons
held to the chandelier and caught to the
four corners of the table, the ribbons
ending in large bows. The effect was ac-
centuated by the ligths being shaded
with soft crepe coverings. Those who
