weeks stands out in striking contrast as,
N'v nat Of many preceding years at the
70 ",a, " season. Another most brill

i''D o,rg marty Tuesday night, to which
invitations from Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas

It would be impossible to give an
accurate description Of all the beauti-
ml gowns that were displayed on this
occasion, and the mention Of a few
would be an injustice to many, Suffice,
It to say, no previous society event in
Salem has brought out so many eX-
Oulste creations of the modists' art,
A delightful contribution to the ey
enlng's pleasure was the singing Of
Mrs. Morrison Reid, a dramatic So
rrano, whose splendid voice filled ev-
cry niche of the great hall. Mrs.
Reid was obliged TO return for many
CncOres. The young matrons aud
maids of the Kensington club were
asked to assist and responded in
charming manner. Music for dancing
was perfect; the Peerless orchestra Of
nine pieces giving the programmed
Taltzes, two steps and three steps
down through the sixteen numbers,
with an intermission for the lancers,
Among the selections we're: Count

"Id Love to Live in Loveland," ITO
kiO," Quaker Girl" "Chummy Chums,
"Ragtime Soldier Man." Spring Maid
Waltz King Pin" "Billy," merry

extras. Chaperones and guests be-
sides the dancers were escorted to
