OF Lent is accountable perhaps
for the gayety that has filed
the DAYS Of the month. The Msrdi Gras
dance that will take place Tuesday

society is discussing with a prediction
that the event will eclipse those OF
former years and viii be a brilliant
climax 10 these delightful days. The
Patronesses' ball last Friday evening
was a success. but that was q foregone
conclusion. since the first affair was
such a brilliant beginning for the four
and twenty members who were also re-
sponsible for the second party in the
colonial room at the st. Francis.

home ceremony. The color scheme at
the home of the brides parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Kirkham Wright, in Scott

read under a canopy of carnations and
ferns. The officiating clergyman was
Rev David Evans. The brides gown
was a creation Of white satin embel-

covered the bodice and the costume was
finished with court train. She wore
the conventional tulle veil and carried
shower of white carnations. The
matron Of honor was Mrs. Edward
Turney. sister of the bride, who wore a
gown in a combination of pink and
lavender satin that was exquisitely be-
coming, while she carried a shower Of
pink carnations. The pink was used
effectively in the gowns of the bridal

attractive background. The two other
attendants who accompanied the bride

Mrs Henry Miner Rideout and Miss

last Wednesday was one of the attend
