This week has he a an exceptionally
dull one, and from all indications it will
Vie at least June before any big affairs
will be given. The attention of society
was devoted to the Overaml Minstrels,
and theater box parties galore were
given both nights. la was the oify
large event of the week, and informal
affairs were few and far betweeen. The
majority of the numerous card clubs
are disbanding for the season, and
nearly all the social clubs have already
disbanded. The Union club dance last
night was not a large affair.
There are rumors of several marriages
to come, the engagements not yet an
nounced. in which several only daugh
ters figure, and one from a whole family
of girls. The Foster-dark affair, while
still of great interest, is not so widely
discussed since it became known ; t
would be a strictly home affair.
