 at several events in January. On Friday Mrs. Frank Crockard will give bridge in her honor. The arrival of MT. Bryan's party to- day will be of social interest, outside of the political significance that is at tached to the visit Presidential candidates are forced to l undergo a social strain that would weary the most indefatigable society woman, and the social side of the visit of MT. Bryan and his party will be quite bril- liant and interesting. On preceding visits of Mr.. Bryan he has been accompanied by Mrs Bryan. and she has always been charmingly en- tertained whenever she has been in the south.
