son strictly after all. One young Wom-
an confessed last week to having re-
ceived ten invitations to small affairs
which, if published, would immed1-
ately cause each hostess to sink into
the ground. There are no large af-
fairs, but the small dinners and little
bridge gatherings are consuming
morning, noon and night. Then the
presence of one or two visiting women
whose stay is only during Lent, has
been the cause of some very informal
entertaining. This week some Of So
ciety will go down to the opera in Chi
cago, opportunities TO hear good mu-
sic being too few to allow the season
to interfere with the attendance of So
ciety.
Mrs. Fernald, of Lincoln avenue, en-
tertained very informally yesterday

1t is no surprise to the friends of
Miss Sturgis to know that she has per-
severed in her intention to become
nun, as she did not take the step with

surprise. The alumni Of the Visitation
convent in the East have been much
stirred up by the decision Of the
mother superior in the case Of Miss
Sturgis and regard her leaving George
town as a real misfortune for their be-
loyed alma mater. Miss Sturgis is at
Sacred Heart convent at KenWood,
near Albany
