  WINTER SEASON OPENS Series of Dinners and Luncheons the Past Week and Much Entertaining at the clubs-Notes of We'll
 Known People.

Thanksgiving week was observed with much social brillancy and the winter season has opened with fair prospect of entertaining that will continue all through md-winter until the season will reach It's height in New Years events.
 The Southern club gave It's first large winter cotllon on Wednesday evening. In point of brilliancy it was universally pronounced to have exceeded the many balls and receptions taking place at the club houses in past winters. The decora- tions were the handsomest ever attempt ed, particularly in the beautiful arrange ments in the ball room. The general plan the decoration called forth ingenuity and lavish expenditure as well. While the ball room Is very spacious the decorators overcame the difficulties of space by erecting a skeleton ceiling, portions of woodwork was completely concealed with southern smilax, which now forms tho background for most of the decorative schemes both in the south as well as in the northern cities. The cotillon was danced beneath this dark-green arbor, in which were studded electric lights, the arbor blooming with hundreds of white chrysanthemums. The pilasters, entwined with smilax and caught here and there with clusters of gorgeous white chrysan- themums tied with satin ribbons, com pleted the beautiful floral effect, while at the far end of the ball room the or ctestra was stationed behind curtains of smilax and chrysanthemums, the lights shining amid the foliage.
 Another striking decoration was in the tiers of potted plants built about the pilasters in the reception hall and in the elaborate decorations of thes stairway
 Supper was served in the handsome cafe downstairs and the cotillon began quite late led by MT. Yeatman
