THE COMING SEASON.
Society's Busy Days Ushered in with
the First of November.

the First of November.
With the coming of November days.
society shakes itself drowsily out of
the lazy habit of summertime and be-
stirs itself TO it's accustomed ways.
Summer idleness is well enough. and
not without its charms-thaL wane. in
retrospect, but are wholly delightful
while they last. We put on energy with
our winter clothes, and whereas for
many moons we have been content to
take pleasure as it came. we now go
forth and seek it industriously.
The season promises to be a long one.
with an early beginning and Easter
coming as late as April II.
Societys first appearance, if we ex-
cept the circus. was Friday night at
the theater. when an audience unus-
uaIly large FOR any time of the year.
witnessed the performance of David
Warfield in THE Auctioneer." The
house was filled with fashionable peo-
pie. and all the boxes were taken. one
of them being occupied by Mai. and
Mrs. w. A. wilkins and several
friends; another BY Mr.. S. P. Shotter
MT. AlOlZO CYUTdHut anu MI. IlCl-
mann Weber; another by Mr.. and Mrs.
]. F. Cooper Myers, Mrs. Thomas
S. WILLY Jr, and Mr.. Wright Hunter;
and another by Mr.. E. L. Tessier.
Judge and Mrs. Henry McAlpin and
Mrs. H. Wiley Johnson.
While the first cotillion. always the
formal opening of the seasons gayety,
is rarely given before the latter part of
November, smaller entertainments are
already being thought of, people are
planning their days at home. and the
card clubs and classes for study are
being reorganized. There viii be a pre-
liminary meeting of the Married Wo-
mems Card Club Tuesday afternoon at
o'clock at the home of Mrs. ]. S.
Howkins. The Shakespeare Glass will
meet for the first time this season to-
morrow afternoon at Mrs. Louis G.
Young's. 1t is somewhat doubtful
whether the Monday Afternoon Card
Club will be reorganized this year, but
the Duplicate Whist Club will shortly
resume its Friday afternoon sessions.
What else the season may hold is
still a matter for speculation, but that
1t holds much that is pleasant is not
to be doubted. if rumor speaks true.
