a.. IN. I believe the gronndhog pre-
a;c,,ops of an early spring will come
true.
somcbow this winter has not been
.hlc 10 ect up n really good stretch Of
colI weather. It would make a fierce
Z .ttack, blow. rain, snow, slcct, freeze
srd then all melt away again In a week.
vou inst cannot tell what It will do
nsst. 70 don't let's bother about Il.
There S mn awful lot Of talk about.
THERE'S the opening tonight Of the
i Chicago Opera Company at the
formances continuing through the week.
Mary Garden returned from Atlantic
City last night and she will appear
nersonally tomorrow night and on three
other occasions during the week.
TOMORROW there's the Princess
i wedding in London, and while we
are not English we are as Interested
in the wedding. the festivities and re.
ceptions. the presents. wedding trip and
homes where the Princess will live as
any women who are human can be.
IIERE ne home we have just q few
IL parties to think about ourselves.
There's to be the fancy dress or masked
subscription party out at tho White
marsh. gotten up BY the Arthur New
bold. Jrs.. the Ralph Earles. Aleck
Yarnalls and several others Of the
younger married set and there's the
dance which the George Rosengarterfs
have planned at the Mask and Wig club
house for Ellen McNichnel.
famous Bal Masquc which is to be held
this wear in the ballroom OF the Belle
.Strntford and which promises from
all accounts to be specially wonderful.
One grows q little sad when one
realizes that this year the committee
will not have the name Of Mr.. Edward
Grant on its list. and ] ain sure that
every ono will remember with regret the
great part he took in making the deco
rations for the Bal Masque 70 unique
and wonderful each year. Mr.. Grant s
death within the last twelve months is
much regretted by his astonishing num-
Der Of friends.
NOR are the masked balls and parties
~ all. Jcritzka. the world famed
soprano. will make her debut at the
opera In this city tomorrow In the per
formance of "La Toscn.' with ScottI
and Harold us the leading men. II

doubt not. and with Mary Garden at
the Metropolitan we will certainly &C
out of gayety into Lent with a mar
velous send off as to the gayety end.
THIS year the Junior League will not
l. give big show as they did las,
winter. when they gave the Talk OF
the Town; but. rs they also did last
year. they will give an entertainment In
honor of the new members. the new
members being mostly debutantcs. Last
wintrr tho League gave a play at Mrs
Charlton Yarnall's house. and they say
was Anatolc Frances "A Man Who
Married Dumb Wife" and that Fanny
Wistrr made an awfully pretty "duml
wife," This winter the entertainment,
will be on Monday, March 6, at the Art
Alliance, and the program sounds de-
lightful. First there will be play
"Petticoat Perfdy." I haven't heart
who is to be in that yet, and then Poll,
Thayer will give yiol in solo and Mrs
Charlie Willing will sing. Mrs. Alecl
Yarnall is the president Of the Junio,
League in Philadelphia. and. il I an
not mistaken. Mrs. Robert Mclean !!
the vice president, and Catherine Coxt
Porter. secretary. Besides giving show!
10 raise money for charity, the members
OF the League do great deal of splcn,
did work at different settlements ant
hospitals.
MARY LOUISE, who is five, wen
NA riding with Grandma md one O
mothers friends the other day. As the,
started off toward beautiful countr!
road, Grandma directed the chauffeur t,
stop first at a store. She went in I,
make some purchases, leaving Mar,
Louise and the lady together. The lady
who was. fond Of children and yer.
sweet and attractive. tried to talk t,
the little girl, remarking on the weathe
and asking questions about herself an,
her little friends. Mary Louise did no
show much interest. but appeared sud
denly to realize that she was not en-
tertainng. and so with a most en-
saglng manner she turned to Mrs. c.
and said she in a confidential tone
Tell me. my dear Mrs. c., have 70,
still got all your tceth?"
