NORFOLK, VA. Nov 1.-THE social
affairs of the week were INTERRUPTED by
the election. The ladies do not take an
active part in political affairs. but they
are Interested In whatever concerns the
men and the community. and therefore
they made as few engagements as posi-
bic, not knowing what the demand OF the
great event would be on the time and the
energies of the men There was no dull
ness. There were lunchcons and small
PARTIES. chiefly Of the impromptu. ana
therefore OF the most delightful kind,
but there were not many formal nvltat-
Ions assured and no great events for the
week. Even the marriage ceremonies did
not attract the attention of the social get
to a marked degree. although there were
some pretty marriages which Will result
In happier lives and more beautiful homes

showcy events where all Of the curious
persons OF tho vicinity attend to comment
on the bride and the groom in the heart

that may be- the week passed off quietly
With society. and there is q great reserve
