No better evidence of the as- , duced than the social predominence of coming marriage of Jean Reid to the Hon. John Ward. Mra. Reid Intend to Hive almost weekly balls and entertain ments that will be marked by regal splendor. The wedding Itself will be the social event of the year, although all possible pain a are being taken to keep it from being tailed about before hand.

Mrs. "Potty" Palmer, as aome of her friends call her. is making preparations to strengthen her claim to the tltla of the greatest of American hostesses In London.- The Chicago society wornan has always entertained on a lavish scale, -but up to this season has always been denied the more intimate recognl . tlon of the king.

She adores the beautiful place given to her a a wedding present by her father-in-law. The Connaughts are again to stay with her for-a few days. More wonderful still, it is said in trustworthy quarters, that she will receive a visit from King Edward. Such an event seemed an utter Impossibility ts those who remember th memorable rtimpus between the king, when h was Prince of Wales, and the father-in-law of Mra Astor.
