Social and
J . PERSONAL

Viewer before have so many holiday
puests been in the city as were here
4 this season. More house parties were
given and more gaiety in general en-
loved than at any previous time. The
college men and maidens and their
guests returned early in the week, but
a number of visitors remain, although
the large affairs in social circles now
lie chiefly in the past.
OF the many beautiful receptions
given in this city, none have attracted
more admiration and pleasing COM
ment than that given by Mrs. william
Connell at her elegant home on We'd
nesday. The day was perfect, ana
very large number of guests were pres
ent during the hours OF receiving. The
handsome rooms made strikingly
beautiful appearance, as added to the
originally effective decorative features
they contained a profusion of pink
roses and maiden hair fern with masses
of tropical plants. The dining room
was exquisite in every detail Mrs.
Connell wore lovely gown of pearl
brocade, trimmed with rose-colored
velvet and point lace. Mrs. Charles M.
Giffin, who received with the hostess,
wore old rose satin with a garniture
of velvet and duchess lace. Others

VBaher's band will give a great con-
cert at the Lyceum, Jan. 81. The pro-
sramme' will be magnificent and the
accessories of the affair are expected
to surpass everything thus far at
tempted in the musical line in this
city We, as Scrantonians, are proud
of Bauer and his famous band. When
any other great aggregations of talent
come here We say: Yes, they GER
tainly do play well, but we can't say
that they excel Bauer" We never tire
of hearing it's stirring music, and We
hear with delight tn, praise it receives
in other places, for it always represents
us with credit. 1t is known for its bril-
liant work from Buffalo to Washing
ton, from Boston to Chicago. Through
the keystone and Empire states
Bauer's band is spoken of with ad
miration. No society event is com
plete without it's music. All this means
that somebody has had to do an enor
- q, nous amount of hard work. To keel
s eh an organization on a good, sub
stantial basis occasions great expense
The membership is chiefly made up o
wage-earners, and uniforms and in
struments of the perfection befittin
a band of such prestige exceeds wha
can be afforded. There are many rea
sons why this concert should receiv
the patronage and support of Scranto
people. Every seat should be occupied
