AS social delights deal largely with the
imagination, the feminine mind has a great
field of anticipation in the program of the
early winter, to which constant references

lions of social gatherings. The number, to
which constant addition may be expected
until the waning of the season, and in
deed, of the winter, includes a bunch OF
most attractive girls who are more than
likely to repeat the social triumphs of their
mothers.
the buds will bloom in the homes Of
the wealthiest residences at the capital
All the better for that, since this contingent
will naturally provide the great occasions
or the winter. and the girls who have less
of what the world esteems most desirable
will enjoy the good times along with the

people are distinguished by what they are
rather than by what they have, hospitality
to young people is not determined by the
narrow boundaries of a set.

looked forward to-. have enjoyed a good
share of participation in the gayeties for
