A GREAT number Of social events
n have taken place during the past
week, but the prevalence Of the
such unusual weather has cast a slight
gloom over even the gayest society
events. The Country club has seldom
had a visitor, the rides and drives
which at this season generally constt-
Iute so large a part Of social entertain
ing had all to be postponed, and even
Ihe indoor affairs with all their good
cheer partook to some degree Of the
spirit of inclemency
The chief events Of the week IN point
Of numbers and arrangement were the
musicale given Monday evening by the
Towards, the two large receptions Of
Wednesday and Thursday afternoons
and the two luncheons given Thursday
and yesterday. The tea at the post
Wednesday was attended by both men
and women, and was greatly enjoyed.
That Of Thursday given by Mrs. Ed
win Kfmball Miss Mary Kimbal and
Miss Katherine Williams was a thor
ough success in spite of the storm rag
Ing outside. The luncheon the same
day given by Mrs. Nell for Miss Leon
ard was perfect in all its appointments
and Yesterdays luncheon at the Com
mercial club by the Sherman girls was
none the less so. The two large dan
cling parties were each in its way most
delightful events, that at the post be-
ing well managed by the bachelors Of
the Officers club. and that Of the
Alumni being one of the most success
full dances for the young people Of the
season.

The whole presented a very beautiful
picture. A long low bed Of sweet peas
and bridal wreaths extended around the
table. and candelabra with shades that
matched the sweet peas lighted the
board The place cards were in the
same color, and it is safe TO say that
q luncheon table has seldom presented
a prettier sight. Notable among the
