The informal luncheon If Mrs. Rob
inson, a few days past, has revived the |
social set, and here and there IAN be
found a CLEAN of light in the nature of a
contemplated affair.
There has been al unusually large
number Of spring weddings, but none
among the four hundred. excepting the
Fitzgerald-Metzeradt. which was 50
quiet that society had none of it. But the
belated lover and the bashful, waiting
maiden, have gotten together at last. have
arranged matters to the taste of both.
and three weddings, at least, if not more.
are booked for the next month. The
names might be given, but in Difference
to the wishes of the prospective parties,
complete details are withheld.
Musical circles are particularly lively,

Nordicas have several engagements for
the next four weeks, and the Harmonics
are unable to meet the many requests
made. The Episcopal choir. which is the
leading organization of the city. is nav

for the memorial services on Sunday,

At this time the choir nurnber some
twenty voices, including Misses Harding

songs of the day. we'll arranged for
quartette. and nave also at their pleas

lections. A male quartette, if it be at al
musical, is generally popular. There j
something about it that charms the pub

a depth in male voices. Be the cause wha
it may. The Harmonics have in a few
