turned hurriedly to this city, fOrtu :
nately to find him getting better.
Amele Is very much liked in the
younger set. She has light and curly
hair and wears 1t bobbed, that Is, 1t was
bobbed when | saw her last. but 80
many Of the girls are letting their hair
grow now. l hesitate to- say how 1t Is
worn unless | have seen them just a
few weeks before.
The Ferdinand Graves will entertain

their daughter Henrietta at Pelham

TOMORROW evening a ball will be

Der of the younger married men, most
Of whom are under thirty, and all OF
whom are under thirty five. 1t will be
a beautiful affair, The men on the
Bencdicks and Mid Winter Committees
are usually some years older than those
giving the affair tomorrow night. and
think it's fine to have three affairs oi
the kind, hope they'll keep this one
up next year.
