 It is rather interesting to watch the so- cial calendars of different papers and note how many moro events arc always sched- uled for Wednesday than l Tor , any other sr expect all weddings to be set for that day, but why is 1t 90 popular for every other affair! Mondays and Saturdays are treated by hostesses with utmost dare equilibrium of the calendar and are uti- lixed to send out and receive again the weeks laundry, but for social purposes they might as we'll not be at all. Friday still enters to . certain extent into the e. lection of that day as witnesses one younB matron who attempted both in February and March to give . picnic on Friday. the their clothes ruthlessiy drenched in an all-day storm. Tuesdays and Thursdays are treated wit ha trie more cordiality and are preferred by some to poor over schedules. as . rule, outweight the com bined program of the entire week. Will some wiseacre rise and explain why such favoritism ts shownf
 fact that today being Wednesday was rather a busy one. The people who were rushing from card party to afternoon tea and on to another tea, winding up with .s Sar s. nS ssppsd SSSS Ssek weeks into the heart of the winter season. Even the weather entered into tn spirit of tn game and pretendsd 1t was cold and visod that many were deceived into lighting fires and getting back into thick clothes. The sudden change tempts one to paraphrase those well known and most touching lines about the summer girl. making them to read as follows;
 The winter days have come again.
 They always come when weathers hot, ATS That auss Summer r days days and summer err not.
 Why the subject of the weather should suggest the weather man, Is not clear. as everybody knows he two have no connection--but one Is somehow reminded of the story his friends are fond of tell ing on the popular weather observer. For a certain Sunday he had predicted rain. but the day dawned bright and clear and he gaily sailed forth to church in full regafia and umbreiialess. Now by some strange chance. before the ser vice ended, the blue skies had turned to darkest grey. and the rain came down with q vicious and persistent pattertng. Aha" quoth the observer proudly, .,,, the jaunty walking stick which was his sole protection against the weather, and borrowing an umbrella from a facettous acquaintance. he ge9tly stole away.
 One of the most elaborate and best con ceived and executed entertainments of all the year was the reception given by Mrs Rivers A. Rush this afternoon. in cele- bration, of her tenth wedding annfyer. sary. The pretty home on Government Street was veritable picture of spring in it's green and white garlands, palms and smilax, and quantities of white blos- some combined with taste to make 2 were garlands of snnilax and hung amons the garlands were ten silver bells. The same idea was apparent in the dining room, where the table with It's load of dainties and centerpiece of pure Easter lines was the centre of attraction. A broad white satin ribbon was laid di- agonally across the table and bore the dates, ls93-1903. From the chandelier hung q large silver bell. its clapper being smilax in which the chandelier was fes- tooned and caught to the table with white satin ribbons. were streamers of gauzy julie. The cakes also bore the date, 1sg3-1905, in icing and were as pretty to the eye as they were good to the taste. In this room the following young ladies served: Misses Kathleen William son, Venetia Danner. Corinne Orton, May Prince, Gertrude Smith, Zemma Mastin. Lolla Belle Gould and Kate Crawford.

 The long talked of chiidren's ball given under the auspices and for the benefit of the Non- -Sectarian Inf1rmary Association. came off this evening with great eclat. Temperance Hall was the ball room and the decoTa tons used by the Knights of Revelry Monday evening. still beautined the historic ball room. making 1t e pretty setting for the little ones and the admir- ing spectators.
