II mas been decided to discontinue the
IhurSoay evening dinner dances organ-
ized SIX years ago by Mrs. Frederic J
oe Peyster and J. Montgomery Strong
THESE dances have been among the uaoSt
enJoyaDle and most largely attended Of
any or tne subscription dances, and,
their abandonment VII cause much die
appointment and regret among that el,.-
IIlenI OF society which takes pleasure
IN this fern OF entertainment The
dancing was always preceded by a din
ner, each Of the patrOnesses having
table Of her own 70 which She ir5-fta5
her particular friends The reason FOR
the discOEtinUanCe Of the dinner dances
Is on account Of Mrs de Peyster having
been in mourning for the past two years
and Mr. Strong Is out Of the citv :he
greater part Of the time. and no one else
seems willing 10 accept the responsible
tty and give the time needed for their
arrangement
