eral gatherings about town this week by the presence of several members of the school and college set who are already home for their spring vaca- tions. There has been an almost in- cessant series of parties for the young folk, most of them quite impromptu affairs. Of course many of them re- turn to school before Easter time. but every day sees a group coming to town for week or ten days, days which will be crowded full with gaiety, before returning to school for the last semester.
 The Shuttle Meadow club cabaret is claiming the attention of a great many in town and rehearsals have be- gun in earnest. In view of the fact that the cabaret is tlre thing" on the club calendar it is not surprising that more than 200 reservations have al- ready been made for the affair, which takes place next Saturday evening.
 The Twilight Musicale scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, taking place at the club at o'clock, will as usual bring out a large and representative gathering of club members and their guests. The affair is the last in a series of three very delightful musi- cales which have besn held at the club this season.
 One of the most important club meetings of the week was the annual meeting and election of officers of the New Britain Woman's club which took place Tuesday afternoon at the First church chapel. On Wednesday the Woman's club of Mapel Hill held an all day sewing meeting for the benefit of the New Britain general hospital. Thursday the Emma Hart Willard chapter. D. A. R.. held a regular meeting in Berlin with Mrs Meagley acting ss hostess On the same day the Mason -Rackliffe we'd ding took place at the home of the brides brother and sister-in-law. Mir. and Mrs. Fred o. Rackliffe. Friday held no really important social event, although there were several smaller club meetings and a few informal bridge parties. Today has been given over entirely 10 the hospital benefit bridge which is being held at the Burritt hotel this afternoon and evening to raise money
  bles for both the afternoon and even ing play have been practically all sold and the affair promises to be socially and financially successful. Members of the hospital board will receive the guests and several members of the younger set will act as ushers and sell candy during the play.
