INTEREST of society folk la being focused on the huge bridge party to ha p-)vpr nmnrrnw iftrnnnn at- tVin home of Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett for the benefit of the People's Institute. Fifty tables will be played, different members of the Institute asking a number f their friends to take tables so that each one will seat congenial parties. The advent of Halloween naturally calls forth a great deal of entertaining, principally for the younger contingent. Among the larger affairs planned for that evening is the dinner dance which fWirt Minor is giving to honor Miss 'Allsa MacMter at the Waverly Coun try Club. There are numerous card parties and informal teas to be given in the name of charity, most of which &re for the benefit of the British Red Cross Society. It is a sort of endless chain affair, with Mrs. E. T. C. Stevens u the most enthusiastic worker. Ev ery matron Is supposed to ask ten of her friends to tea, each of the ten In turn to ask ten of her Xriends, and a small silver offering Is made every time. In this way many matrons and maids pass a delightful afternoon,, and also aid the noble work of the Red Cross Societies. The Society finds it Is more helpful to send the money di rect to the Europeau countries where the garments and other articles nec essary for those afflicted by the war oan be purchased for less than, they can be made or obtained on this side. In fact, every social diversion Is for this or that charity, all gaiety being subdued. With the exception of a few. small dinner parties, one or two luncheons and teas, there is little of In terest to chronicle in the social world. Miss Georgianna Leadbetter's engage ment was the piece de resistance of the week, and yesterday Miss Isabella Macleay's luncheon honoring the youth ful bride-elect was a charming affair.
