all denials to the contrary. Perhaps,
when the rumors are sifted down, Jt
will be like the case of a well-known
stage, idol of whom the New York theater-goers
Bay, whenever a woman is
seen with him, "it is safe enough to
call her Mrs. Blank, because if she is
not already she soon will be." How
ever, the interest of admiring friends
must await future developments.
The week just closed has been one
of the gayest, merriest and most varied
