THE DOINGS OF SOCIETY
It Is tbc Season of Numerous Formal
I'artics and Dances.
MANY HOLIDAY tTXCTlOXS
Lost Sight's Assembly Was Largely At
tended and a Distinct Success - Danc
ing I'artics at Home of Mr. Albro
and Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Smith.
There does not stem to lie ary abate
ment of Interest in the' approaching
JfcM-hclors' ball. The officers are very
alert and busy In perfecting big and
little arrangements and Hre sanguine
nf making the affair the most .abulia t
sures ill the history of Burlielortloiii:
ertalnly every thiiiK indicates such a
result. Among the hundreds who have
re-rivod invitations there is a keener
mtlrlputinn than was apparent at this
period last year. The reason is plain.
Then everybody 'thought the organiza
tion hall-' dreamed' a social function
which it would, not be able to fulfill. am
it was not until the day before the bad
trial Mie same "everybody" concluded
t ho liaehelors promised carrying out
their elaborate plans, so society went 10
tht Jall anil wan more than pleased.'
am that nettled it future bails were to
Do. just-OB successful.1 An evidence of
the possible-attendance- is the intima
tion already given by local people that
a total of more than fifty persons from
out of town will be. present. , Fifty. from
abroad means a very large number from
Scranton. The desire of the Bachelors
to spare neither pains nor expense in
having every detail us near' perfect as
possible was proved by. an . incident
which occurred during the week. It was
found that the imports beneath tne
portable dance floor built a year ago
purposely for the Haohelors hu tl been
damaged and would make , the floor
plig-htly uneven. Telegrams were pent
to 1 lochcster which secured n. presence
hero of the mechanic who.in the employ
of I.eni'i t & Son,' the mentor nivni
t'.'ots. planned and supervised the mak
ing and laying 'of the lloor last year.
This mechanic has been busily eipgnged
with several carpenters ami the lloor
Vi lli be ju.tt as soringy and Just as so
fiir ns when lirst laid.
