| events exclusive of the club euchres ana
subscription danees-a reception and an
sat hone.,' OF course there are small
affairs given to a small circle of friends,
| but Of the events including the society OF
the city there is a dearth. The W events
usually take place generally with a long
| interval between and the first in most
cases occurs toward the last of the sea-
son But this year here at the very De-
ginning the two affairs have taken place.
| Nearly two weeks ago DR.. and Mrs. Ph11p
i. Koonz gave a dance for their daugh-
| ter. Miss Annie Koonz. and this was .ol-
lowed last Tuesday afternoon by an at
| home given by Mrs. George w case 81
| Kensington avenue to introduce to the
young ladies of the city her sons, Mr.
| George w. Case, Jr., fiancee, Miss Mary
Anderson of Madison. :,
And now the question arises, will it
last? Are all precedents to go Tor
naught? Is this rule of two to be broken?
Will other society leaders wake up ana
| follow the good example set by Mrs.
| Koonz and Mrs. Case, and give the young
| people a taste of what society really is?
| Or, perish the though, will these two pc
| the last as well as the first of the social
functions, and must society, having eaten
| all its cake at once, settle down to retro
speetion, interrupted by an OCCASIONAL
euchre or subscription dance?

Again the subscription dance will play
an important part in the seasons pleas
IRE. 1t is a little late in making its ap-
pearance-usually the first dance is held
Thanksgiving week-but it is none the less
welcome. Was it not Miss Condict who
arranged the dances last year? Tnls
time it is in new hands, those of Miss
Elizabeth Dixon and Mr.. Harold Koonz.
The young people are being assisted in
the work by Mr.. and Mrs. William Vidal
and Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Soper. There
will be four dances all given in Phillips
Hall. The usual set will be invited, and
it is probable that q large number will
attend the dances. OF course there will be
good music and a good supper. The first
dance will probably be. given before
Christmas, and the others will follow at
intervals of one month.

Is it because the Shubert concerts are
too good to be missed? Last year there
were a number of indignant protests,
when, for the first time since its organic
alton, the club refused to send tickets
to subscribers until the money for the
tickets had been RENTED. The club pur-
sued the same course this year and per-
haps because it was no longer new-or
was it because of the excellence of the
ooncerts?-the money was forthcoming
and the number of subscribers is as great
as ever.

leave the city next week for her home
