Show B I I v Society E-cJentf of -the XOeeK. V II ': Besides getting to and through and away from S the Thanksgiving dinner the smart set has rested it? during the 'past week with the exception of an af- ternoon or two, and as many evenings. To the l game Thanksgiving afternoon, and the game hird )' in the evening made the day passable, but other- jr,f wise the excitement was not too thrilling. t It was a nice audience that greeted the Sym- f' phony orchestra, but a mixed one, and much of !i comfort loving society which howls for culture if and tho fine arts was at home sitting before the i ' fireplace in a soft kimona. Now most of those who ; live in town can afford more money than they j' paid to get in, and wouldn't it be a good thing to ! get a smaller piace than the Theater, sell seats by j; subscription, and pay expenses. It will be a j shame if Mr. Shepherd does not receive abundant support for his great effort, but so far as society f. is concerned, it looks a little cloudy in the west. l! U Another thing societyfmissed was Little Eva's I death at the Grand on Monday. Realism was at If its height, and as Little Eva died, the band struck l up "Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home?" If Nothing is being talked of more across the U . keno cards in exclusive circles than the divorce If which, according to Grundy, will be filed soon. P Society has expected it for a year or two, but the B j if climax came the other day, when he, sensibly, as- i I sisted by a van, moved his belongings. And the III sympathy Is all with him. How soon legal pro- I ' ceedings will take place is not known, but the sep-H sep-H SI H aration is complete. ffi 8?
