much entertaining Just at pres
IL emit and the social world in
consequence Is rather dull the
even OF the week. and one Of the leading
events Of the season was the marriage
OF Miss Frances Wolbcrt and Mr. Seth
Frank Alden at the brides home, Wed
nesday night. Aside from this there mas
been scarcely anything going on ana
next week does not promise better con-
dition. Until the Christmas preparations
are Completed there will probably be no
change. but holiday week Is expected TO
bring a round Of festivities. The dramatic
club performances has been postponed
from the 18th until after Christmas. There
IL some talk of a large bali being given
New Years night. In which several OF
society's bachelors are interested. Bowl
ing at the Union Club by the ladies has
not been taken up az yet. although II
has been talked about. and. the alleys
have been placed at their disposal but
everyone ~ too busy these days. and the
faces one meets on the street look thought
fu1 and sometimes worried. as the list
each woman is carrying around does not
get shorter as rapidly as Is desired. for
II Is not always easy to find tust what
ono wants. or the right thing for the
right person. although tho shors are
making very attractive displays.
