as far as really large affairs are con- cerned. During Holy week, for all that, the week brought many a small party, several of them being quite important. The large number of young people in town for the holidays to say nothing of the spring brides have made it nec- essary to give some entertainment dur ing the unusually quiet week. On Wednesday Mrs. Maurice Pease en- tertained for Miss Margaret Eddy and Miss Dorothy Thompson. On the same day the Woman's club of Maple Hill held their annual meeting and elec- ton of officers at the home of Mrs H. F. Leinhardt.
 Going on down through the week practically every day saw some parties. Of course Good Friday was generally observed with church services and Social quiet. Today Miss Laurene Aouat entertained at her home in compliment to Mrs. Philip Knowles. Tomorrow's most important event will he the Easter service at the churches. One always goes to church on Easter Sunday, for brief hour of prayer, to see the beautiful flowers and hear the lovely music which are quite as much part of the Easter services as the sermon.
 Whatever was lacking by way of en- tertainments this week will be more than made up for with the events of Easter week and the weeks to come. In addition to many weddings which will keep society on the go this spring, there have been arranged numerous fetes for charitable and philanthropic purposes, as well as dances, most of them by subscription. Society always generous evidently refuses no request 10 contribute to the needy and there has been a most satisfactory response to the many calls on purses, which seem always to be open. The New Brit tain Woman's club is now completing plans to raise s3,0o0 to aid the Near East Relief Milk Fund which is be- ing sponsored by Jackie Coogan, the juvenile motion picture star
 An event of unusual interest took place in the Burritt hotel last Sun day afternoon.

In addition to the program of vocal num- hers by these noted artists, Miss Mia Horstmann and Miss Viola Mattfeld
