The weather conditions offering such
a wealth of amusements that society

afternoon teas serve the delightful di-

and maids who gather for an inform Al
chat. Between these informal affairs,
and a number Of dinners, luncheons
and dances, society will continue to
amuse itself until golf and tennis can
be once more jndulged in by the out
door sport loving contingent
The second subscription dance which
will eclipse all similar parties in point

to take place in the Moose nall on
