Mr. and Mrs. Hancock will give a ball

There seem to be no end of balls for the
coming winter. after all; indeed. so far
II seems as II there would be more even

some few, you will admit.
Then this evening there will be the

Try Club which Mr.. Sydney Wright and

Tomorrow Mr. Chambers and Katharine

of the winter here with Mr.. Sydney
Wright, who is her greatunc!e.
Each little bride as she comes along
naturally thinks her wedding the only
one that ever was and her fance the
only lover that ever lived, so to speak,
but she does not usually express 1t in
words Still very few are what might
be called responsible when attacked by
the "grande passion" and so we are not
astonished at what she proclaimed at the
Postofice last week. She was very par
tcular about her invitations and insisted
on mailing them herself, so she had the
chauffeur drive her in to Ninth and

are hrst-class invitations" Now, what

know she is the luckiest girl in the
world, having discovered the only man
+ worth having, but still-firstclass matter
does not always mean firstclass invita-
tons, does IL? However. we must for
give her, because she is way, way off
In little world OF her own" from which
! hope she will not soon awaken II she
must awaken eventually. So let her
enjoy 1t while she may.
The market day and country fair and

and will continue tomorrow also. The

restaurateurs and their aids. So as there
will be eats, let's go.
