Many Easter Weddings.

The list of Easter weddings grows apace
and unless there is some change in the
programme all these will be on a lavish
scale The six or eight bridesmaids, with
a corresponding number of ushers. will
make effective bridal parties. and this
year the bridesmaids, as a rule, are very
young girls, to whom the picturesque
style of dress now in fashion will be more
than usually becoming The wedding Of
Miss Polly Whittier and Mr.. Ernest Iselin
is to be followed by a reception, to be
given at the home of the bridegroom's
parents-raj her an unusual occurrence
but as the Whittiers have only an apart
ment and the Iselins have large new
house in New York 1t would seem as
though the arrangement was a good one

Fashionable Entertainment.

The most fashionable entertainment of
the week was undoubtedly the amateur
theatrieals given atsthe Carnegie lyceum,
Monday afternoon and evening, in which
all the smart debutantes of the season
took part, and where their respective pa
pas and mammals friends and relatives
composed the audience. These seemed to
enjoy the clever acting tuneful music and
pretty dances almost as much as did the
performers-a most unusual condition as
regards amateur theatricals. Miss Anita
Peabody and Miss Ruth Draper carried
off the honors of the affair, IL there were
any particular honors to be bestowed
where all received such undivided APP
plause. The winter sports are virtually
over, spring has not arrived to make
country life pleasant, and there are few
people who do not find it a good time
to come to the city for two or three weeks
or to go somewhere else. Even the week
end house parties at Tuxedo, Hempstead
and so on somehow lack the go and snap
of a week or two ago, and 1t is rather
more difficult to tempt people out of
town for the week end than it was. After
all. when invitations to go off in private
car or private train are bestowed ad
libitum and it is possible to arrange bust
ness accordingly, small wonder is it that
there should be a deficit of eligible young
men at the present moment. Aiken is at
Its best just now. as are all the points
further south, while few days at Allan
tic City, Washington and Lakewood are
more agreeable than spending the same
length Of time even in the most charming
country place imaginable near the city.
Palm Beach has continued In its career of
gayety, but Nassau has, to be slangy
'gone 1t one better this season, for the
entertaining at the latter resort has been
constant. Bermuda, too, has had its share
of gayety. The south. as was said last
week, has been much gayer than the
north Of late and not until the summer
season really sets in here will there be as
much to chronicle as there has been at
these resorts during the winter.

THE MYSTERY OF WM.PEET

LAST HEARD OF HIM AS EN
:: ROUTE TO ANOKA. :. ~ =.

Come take rural walk with me-
Said sturdy William Peet.
cts good to breathe the country air;
It's good to use ones feet"
The remark was addressed to w. Y.
Chute, who was never bluffed-by
anything but an automobile: He said:
Agreed" !. -
Anoka was to be the goal
For which they took the, pike.
They were to met at 6 a. m.
For to begin their bike
Accordingly, Sunday M orning early
Mr.. Chute inquired at athe West hotel
desk for Mr.. Peet. mot here said
the clerk, "but if you're Mr.. Chute
here's a note, for YOU"
Dear Will-1'll wait till half past six,'
The note went on to say
Thereafter at Anoka
will be, or on the way"
Too late to catch the punctual Peet,
MI. Chute saw there was nothing to
do for it but to. go back to bed. He
had a mental picture of the Peet Linn
tied speeding on over the Anoka pike
and expected that his friend would
rub it into him at the Minneapolis
club next day for being a gutter.
But Monday came; and Monday went
No William Peet appeared.
And things too awful to,relate
BY all his friends were feared
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday brought word-at least. to the
Minneapolis club Notwithstanding
the missing pedestrian. Speculation
has reached the che was last seem
stage. There are fierce, hungry
wolves between here and Anoka-ant
dairy farmers and turkey gobblers.
Yet thew are sure he is NOT lost
For well the proverbs say:
Wherever there is found Will,
There's bound to be a way. 5=
