The gaiety of tho last week would al
most lead one to bcllovc that the lone

all, for though thcro hns been nothing
really large, there havo been n number
of smart affairs, each Including from eight
to ton and more of tho fashionable women
and a fow occasions when the men havo
been Ut In. Theso last, however, have been
confined principally to the Countvy club.
Of courso, tho Mansfield engagement was
the ical feature of tho week, and society
wan present almost In a body. It Is doubt
ful It any other occasion of the season
has attracted as largo a representation of
the fashionable set.
Next week, undor tho direction of three
