although the eve of Mi-careme received the
most attention, while Thursday was rather
quiet. That night in New York. however,

cidedly original way No more such large
events as the embassy ball can hardly be
looked for in this city till next winter,
though dances Of less elaborate descrip-
ton will fill in most acceptably several

squirt in drawing room delights, as the in
dications of spring and outdoor enjoyments
increase every fine day. From now on the
diplomatic corps will present rather broken
ranks as many of it's leading members have
arranged for early departures for Europe.
