Last week was one of the gayest of the
season, and afternoon and evening of each
day were crowded with festivities. Per-
haps the rush of entertainments may have
been due to the fact that there are in the
city just now at least twenty-four visit
ing girls OF course, this increased the
attendance at the german Tuesday even
ing, which proved TO be the largest of the.
season. Among the number of out-of-town
guests present on this occasion were Miss
Jordan of Cincinnati. O., a sister Of Mrs.
Clarence Wainwright Murphy; Miss Kate
