So read several of the engagement announcements that found their way to our desk not many months ago. Now, as definite arrangements begin to come to us for weddings close at hand, we feel that in spirit, at least, the promise of 3pringtime is soon to be fulfilled, in spite of the blue·gray douds that look suspiciously as if they had come from the north from the cloud bag of King Boreas to turn aside the coming of that . ever capricious vernal season.

The. cotillion on Saturday evening, March 24, is anticipated as the feature party of the season, which, the committee announce3, will be different from the "sit-around-the-wall" affair of . a few seasons ago.

The committee asks members anJ guests to wear "air-cooled dancin~ slippers" as it promises an evening of lo!'aiety for ever~one. The ballroom a! Shawnee, said to be one of the firest in and around Chicago, is copsidered ideal for such an affair.

The evening cards committee has i~sued clever invitations in Irish rhyme written with green ink on green paper. and the ballroom will be decked in green with Irish flags. · · Those in charge state that prizes will be awarded for "successful bridgers." A duck dinner will be served at 7 o'clock.
