The past week has been rathe r j quiet as snow sports, coasting end sleighing parties and Rath i rings of a most informal nature have almost entirely submerged other social functions, and those who were never familiar with "bobbing" are now found snugly wrapped waiting-for the rare op portunity to fo "bobbing," after which the gay parties return to arious homes for a hot supper or an impromptu luncheon.

The truly American young woman is to be won and does not think of doing the winning. An interesting conversation between two charming Independ ence belles was heard since the beginning of 1916. Misi Bru nette said to Miss Blonde, "Isn't it just to startling, why, Miss Norn De Plume is wearing a magnificent tiolituire already and she's only had two weeks in which to propose, Te-ke-he!" Miss Blonde replied, "Why, Nom-de would certainly never do such a thing, yon can wager Mr. Blank did every bit of the seeking and he'll be mighty glad to win her, too, even tho' he has tried a long time."
