Week's Social News
"7f 8 HAH UI3KM thp L-imtom for
n f I Fpvcrnl yc-nto, most of Iho tm
I""! rlnl IntcrcntR of hollilny week
ml centres In tho Unolielors' bnlt.
This reason, morn tlinn nl any
time In Hip piiHt, the enthiiNlnHin over
this beautiful event Is deepened. Many
Incidents, contribute to the- exceptional
Intci est. There ore many now faros
at thn door, bright, nnd winsome, with
the rare elm mi of unjadrd nerves and
the line expectancy of untnstod Joy.s.
Then there nro nlwayit new powns to
he worn, new conquests to bo made,
new triumphs to be scored and a hun
dred seductive plumes to ti Krcnt ball,
s-tirh oh the Bachelors'. The commit
tee this year contains several members
who have had past experience of the
simie kind and who know well how to
avoid imy disadvantages which inlKht
arise. It Is composed of A. fl. Hunt,
.Mortimer 13. Puller. Theodore . Fuller,
James Illalr, jr., C. II. Welles, jr. .Mr.
J hint Is chairman.
The patronesses are: Jits. James
Archbald, Mrs. Henry Helln, Jr., Mrs.
Taul B.. Helln, Mrs. (leorfiu O. Brooks,
Mrs. J. Uonjnmln Dlnimlck, Airs.
Thomiis II. Wntklns, Mrs. Edward li.
Fuller. Mrs. Frederick J. Piatt, Mrs.
Arthur II. Storm, Mrs. AVIllliim W.
Sornnlon, Mrs. Everett Warren.
The Bachelors have thinlly settled
on ii device which appears on the at
tractive Invitations nnd Is repeated on
pins worn by the members. It Is sim
ply embossed on the paper nnd repre
sents an owl "couchnnt" and Krnspimr a
hey "prone." Just what all this por
tends Is not divulged by the Bachelors.
.Doubtless the owl typifies the wisdom
of the members In having eluded mnt
iltnony. It Is also a bird that is up
very late at night, likewise it takes
life rather seriously and you never
know Its real opinion or you. There
may be other points of similarity be
tween the owl and the Bachelor. It
cannot be that the owl prefers to wear
many chains instead of one as has been
said of the Uachelor: neither would
u assert that the R.irhelor always
prefers to perch under his own ances
tral roof-tiee.
Of course, the pltrnifliance of the key
It evident. The Uachelor 1ms one to nil
doors, for society could not wl on
without him and he knows it. Then it
is the emblem of his fieedom which
he proudly ilaunls hi the faces of the
enslaved with the intimation that there
Is nobody to ask him what lime he
earae in last night.
To a certain degree the general plans
observed at the ball last year will be.
lepeatcd. The Thirteenth Kegiment
armory will tie draped and decorated
in the same way, but with even more
elaboration of detail. The dancing
platform will lie placed ns on that oc
casion and the band stand will be sim
ilarly located. The. boxeft however,
will ho handsomer nnd m,tire commod
ious. They will be twenty-eight In
number, and they are being' sold nt $23
each on application to n, member of
the committee, In order of application.
They will be large enough to nccom
jnndutn n party of perhaps ten, nnd
will bn most attractively decorated.
These boxes will be In great demand
as they afford special facilities for the
enjoyment of the beautiful pageant, to
surpass which can scarcely be Imag
ined, Then; are nearly 700 invitations out
to the bull, but tills number Includes
very many from out of town. H la ex
pected that there will be an unusual
ciuotn of guests from various other
cities.
The committee luive followed the
programme of past years, and linvu
engaged Holland, of Philadelphia, as
cateier. Otherwise the arrangements
are local. Bauer will furnish the music,
entirely, and Clark and Fuhrman will
attend to the decorations.

has been In the habit ol bellc itiK ev-o.-ythliiK,

with n pdi-iy of friend-'. The eeiiine;
paper announced a told wave for the
nest day and m i.idy did not (iiiesilon
ihe authority with which the weath-r

the season when (-veil the ohl-fash-ioned
almanacs said About ihW time
look out for a e-old snap." So lliai
lllltlll she lold lile others .tlliil slie was
sroiiin' to i Inn for inoie blankets. At
InUt-v.iln din Intr the later hours, her
friends hi the next loom heard raps on
my l.idy'h duoi- and sciaps of eonver
Mitlop in which bell boys and chamber
maids weeiiicd lo take t piouilui-ut pari.
In the moriiliiK' she told a lale of wo.-,
It was n hotel with lather a pilmltlve

"I lantf the hell Ursi " ,ild .ihe, "for
the lel Imy, to tell him to tell the
chambermaid that I wauled extra
blankets. After awhile he appeared
with lee water. I told him Unit the
paper said there was nolnb" to be it cold
wave iiinl 1 w.iiued moie blankets.
Then I walled a Ions time and rune;
twain. Tills (lino another bell buy ap
pealed and ho bioiiKht another bin;
pitcher of lee water. I ur-sured hlin
that I didn't waul Ice vwiler, but blan
keti1 that the paper said there was no

uud the room wasn't vo.ry wiuin, Ho

bermnld ilffht uway,"
"Then," continued the speaker, "I
waited ii veiy Ions time, but the blan
kets did not appear. Ho I rant? UKalu,
A bell boy came to the door with a.
pitcher of leo water.
"Now, so here," said I, severely, "I
don't want any moro leo water while 1
utny lu this hotel. What I do want Is
blankets, blankets, do you hear'.' The
paper says It Is koIiik to be colder and
there Is only one thin, skimpy llttlo
blanket on this lied. The next boy
that brines Ice water to my room will
wish ho hadn't. You r-o unit wake up
u chambermaid and tell her thut 1
want blankets.
"Well. I declnre to Kooduess If I
didn't wait n half hour nnd no siun of

It wasn't lout; till a rap enmo and T
ihoiidht that finally I could r-o to bed
in peaca and blankets, Hut what do
you suppose1' If there wnbn't another
boy with a biff pitcher of Ice wutor! I
opened the door wide and took thu
pitcher and sot it down alongside of
the others and the one that was there
beforo them all. "Now, young man."
Kild I, "there nro five pltcheiH of ice

Imagine beating down the bishop. As

Fifteen dollars n day Is cheap. Indeed,

to the safe-guarding of life and limb, he
carried on with the strongest forces he
