the society world was supposed to hold
up its head for the next six weeks.

things for which to repent, the entire
! day was passed in a round of gaiety
such as has not been seen for many
days. Two or three large and elab-
crate luncheons. several card parties
both for the afternoon and evening. a
few informal affairs and a musicale
should be enough to start in on. To-
day viii, of course, be "a very quiet day.
although wedding is set for the date
that of Miss Derr and Mr.. F. NJ.
