Society Gets Gay.
The past week In society is quito the
gayest of the season thus far. If all the
fashionable events now scheduled take
place. More dances have been given
than In any one week OF this winter,
several dinners OF Importance. three
musicales and two fashionable we'd
dings, while sandwiched in between
are three or four large receptions, SOW
ernl luncheons and two or three the
ater parties. In fact the great ques-
| ton now is how to attend oil tho enter
| taInments. But fashionable people are
so we'll In the swing now that II takes
a great deal TO tire them 1t Is the
business OF the moment and a very
successful business 1t Is apparently.
Dances All the Same.
| The dances OF the winter are sure to
be somewhat similar. for most of them
! are given at Sherry's, and dances given
| at public places are bound TO be along
| the same lines. There may be one or
more rooms taken, there may be a few
| more tapestries for decorations. or a
greater number OF choice flowers. the
| supper may be vastly different. but the
| same encourage exists, as a rule the
] same guests are present, md 4 Is cN-
tremely difficult to create any marked
| individuality.
Parties of the Week.
One OF the dances of the week was
| that given by Mrs. Ogden Mills on Fri
| day evening and II included the older
| set es we'll as the younger married
| people, with just a few of the debu
| tantes OF the winter. The dance given
tho same evening by Mrs. Charles De
| Rham was for the very young set
the debutantes and q few of the older
sct-the girls who have been out two
or three winters and the younger mar
ried people Then there was the dance
set for Monday night at Sherry's by
Miss Elizabeth Hamilton for her niece.
Miss Frances Smith Hadden Like
Mrs. De Rhams dance II was given
for the younger set, and only a few
members OF tho elder coterie were in
attendance.
Miss Hadden made her debut last au-
tumn at Hampstead and has apparent
ly been making It ever since for large
circle OF relatives and friends have
been giving receptions. dinners and
dances for her.
Two Weddings of Note.
Today occurred two weddings OF
note. Miss Bessie Moulton. daughter
OF Mrs. Arthur Moulton. was married
to Lloyd Aspnwall. and Miss Mable

that of Miss Moulton was made known
last autumn.
Artists and social leaders are to give
a ball. 1t is said, at the old Astor
house. At midnight on the occasion
there will be ghost dances. Surely II
ghosts really do dance they ought to
come readily on the invitation of the
ballroom lights and the gay dance mu-
sic hostelry which New York's march
northward has left so far from the So
cial center.
