West Erd life will begin to take on quite
different air. In the meanwhile several
weddings will break the monotony. and give
pleasant gossip to the stay-at-homes until
the usual routine OF events is once more

accompany the movements of the new
corners in the official world. with a view to
determining the excellence of their social
metal. While a few of the old landmarks.
like Corcoran House. are as yet without
occupants, great surprises happen in this

season when the early birds are returning
