VI titiS season OF the year last week
was one of interest to society folk.
though there were very few entertain
ments given. But in such notable
events as fashionable marriage and
play given by Mr.. Nat c. Goodwin
and Miss Maxine Elliott lent an eclat
to the weeks proceedings that caused
ennui to be forced out.
! The first of these events. the mar
riage of Miss Patty Bland Selden and
Lieutenant Hutchinson Ingham Cone,
United states navy, has already been
fully written up, but we feel that an
event or such Importance could not be
TOO much dwelt upon. 1t was a bril-
ilant affair. and though for the time
being an enjoyable one, yet this we'd
ding caused pain In many hearts. Miss
Selden being one of the most popular
and attractive of Norfolk's bellies. we
are loath TO give her up. Yet, as Mrs.
Cone we hope to have her with us in
our City-b ythe-Sea a great deal dur
ing the coming year.
