ItIs no ( to be wondered at that soclet claps ItH hands with delight when aome u ' form of entertainment Is Introduced to var the sameness which ncccasnrlly clings t trceptlons and ( can and kcnslngtons. I gplto nt .the brilliant lights , the gorgeou decorations , the pretty gowns and charmln facen , the dainty or elaborate refreshment and all the other accessories planned t make the occasion most delightful , a con tlnual round of receptions and teas become monotonous.
