Events of interest to masculinity
alone always cause dullness in matters
social, and for this reason the election
and the excitement which conferred in
the battle of the ballots, caused lack
of interest in fashionable entertain
ments. The women's clubs all held
their regular meetings, however. and
there were two very brilliant recep-
tons during the latter part of the
week. A number of pleasurable affairs
are being planned for THANKSGIVING

church entertainments. Society will
