t Whllo tho Ilernhnrdt-Coquclln engage
'mcnt wns tho most Important occasion of
J the last week and tho event to which all
I other nrrnnRemcnts conformed, from a so
lolal standpoint, It wns a slgnnl failure
as a social event. Though the fashionable
Uoclety of tho rlty'was largely represented,
Mho theater party was conspicuously nb-
sect, as was tho brilliant costuming that
has characterized tho Bernhardt audiences
In the majority of the larger cities. For
months tho fashionable women have been
preparing for Ilernhardt's coming, and tho
French class has devoted many hours of
study. On Tuesday evening these young
women worn privileged to reap the entire
benefit of their study, uninterrupted by
comments of mnlo escorts, for It was no
ticeable thnt tho majority of tho young
women were members of family parties,
while tho bachelors ndorned the upper part
of the house In surprising numbers.
A( a subsequent gathering this fpet con
stituted tho chief topic for romment, but,
es ono of this yeur's debutantes expressed
It, "Just think of the kenslngtons we have
had this winter that they could not at
tend." Tho announcement In ono of the society
columns of tho engagement of two of the
most prominent members of tho younger set
created n real stir on Saturdny, but It was
promptly contradicted by the members of
the. families of both the young people.
Tho tlmo until Lent Is planned full of
affairs. For this week the Valentine Day
cotillon will tnko precedence In tho In
terest of society and nothing has been
spared to ir.ako this, tho last of the series,
tho most brilliant of nil. Tho senson be
foro Lent will clone on Tuesday evening,
February 1!. with a number of dinner par
ties by members of tho Dinner club, who
will later adjourn to tho homo of Mr. and
Mrs. Henry W. Yates for n final dance.
