St. auI Social Circles

~ OCIETY is getting its breath aft
er the holidays and when the
~ children are all started back to
school and things take their
normal way again, the older folk begin
to think of going away to California,
South or to Europe, and from now for
sixsweeks to come there will be an ex-
odus of we'll known people to equally
wen known winter resorts. On account
ofsthe, thus far, mild winter, there may
not be as general a departure as in
other years, but there are many resi-
dents of this city who have winter
homes in other places and go no mat
ter what the weather. During the
coming month Summit avenue will take
on the look of a deserted street, owing
to the many houses which will be
closed.
An event of this week to which So
ciety is looking forward with much
pleasure is the Carnival of Nations,
which will be given on Wednesday and

of the year, and those young women

consider themselves fortunate. The
fact that Mr.. Reece M. Newport Jr. is
