Show If II ! Society Extent Vr of the XOeeK i i There are a lot of aggravating "cases" that are 1 1 1 J worrying society sick lately, and it is only fair 1 I I that the principals should announce something, or K 11 ' cal1 a11 off In most of tlle Prospective alliances, I I . ,, the man denies, and the girl is mysterious, and if lit I they're going to, why don't they. It would be a 1 r 1 W benison to the gossips, a relief to the fellows, 1 i 1 L new hope for the girls, and generally satisfactory. 1 i I I"1 This uncertainty in the matrimonial market is B I I most distressing, not the least exciting, and '1 l well, they've all been going together long enough fl:f to know. L j I c5 cJv 1 And speaking of orange blossoms, who will ikj j 1 draw the next heiress? They're beginning to be H S, t j I plentiful, but most of the desiring men are not H ? ! 1 desirable, or else they are timid. H ji , I f There is a stack of glorious check books get- j g ting musty, and it is a shame not to ornament H I them with rows of ciphers, before they show 'il I signs of decomposition. And it ought to be rich m jfc girl poor fellow, or visa versa, even if the United Jj 9 A' Nation of Quick Talkers does insist on unit- ff 1 .wo local fortunes. wi J tK I The passion for the national game of poker is ,J ft increasing in the smart set among the ladies, and m n we may soon liear of an afternoon of "stud," or HII ii i straight poker, with a four-bit limit. Practically H ' ; the only thing that has prevented it heretofore is I ' ' J.1'1 a lack of nerve on the part oi some to take the H m 1 initiative, but at the rate they are talking, it I PH' i won't be long till an invitation is issued bearing a H nil P crest of three queens rampant on the green. H Jf f Tne dies are hysteric winners, and bad IidJ'S losers, ana every time they play, one can't help j 'Il &, thinking of Hy Dunn's advice, which is, "Never ' i! jf chew ice while playing poker. It may go to your In ifr l5 ? ' I The fad of receiving Sunday afternoon has I struck us, and a number of ladies have announced i I their intention of beginning it right away.. The ll I, fun is not all in the afternoon, but if the men will H ; i I . H go, it will lead into lots of these good informal I H 11 H dinners, afterwards, or an evening that will take W all the blueing out of Sunday night. It is a life-I life-I ' ' ' I m giving innovation to the lonely man, and a diver-H diver-H j ft if sion to those who aren't. I ( i jf A charming addition to local society will be I ' I Mrs Sam S Porter nee Bersbach. She made many I ; ' i friends while visiting here some months ago, and I ' 111 W ey wil1 welcome her back for a permanent visit.

Filer at the Commercial Com-mercial club on Thursday evening, preceding the Assembly. A great Japanese umbrella trimmed with smilax hung over the center of the table, upon which a panel was spread, and the table was lighted by candelabra, with lantern shades. The chandaliers were also shaded in the same way, and the lights half hidden gave a soft, warm glow to the whole room. Large screen from the land of Madam Butterfly were placed around the wall, and Japanese effects were used even to the finger bowls, in which paper flowers unfolded. The place cards were in red, with tiny lanterns dangling from them, and Oriental bracelets were given each of the ladies. The dinner was a most novel affair, clear to the course of dozens of American Amer-ican Beauties, Mr. McCornick's souvenirs. t&v c5 One of the most beautiful gowns seen this win- ter is that embroidered chiffon effect of Mrs. Rob Walker's, trimmed with grapes and pink roses. Two other much mentioned gowns at the Assembly As-sembly were Mrs. Babcock's and Miss Judge's. 5 5 The second assembly was a complete success, and many enjoyed the dancing, which of late seems to be a treat.
