The Entre Nous Club will have their Hotel. The Monday Evening and Friday | Night clubs will open their seasons the latter part of November, the former at | Golden Gate Hall and the latter at the Odd | Fellow where the handsomest balls on | the coast have been given.

Then there will be two large balls, one to be given in Armory Hall, a large number of theater parties, dinners, luncheons and the much-abused “teas.” This will certainly keep the ball rolling up to Lent, which comes the middle of February. The season’s buds are pretty— some exceedingly so—and have known one The Fiancee: *“ But can we afford such ahouse, dearest? They say one’s rent should only be a fourth of one’s income.” ““But this isa good dealless than one-fourth of your father’s income.” [From New York Life.) will certainly be several who will have balls given in their honor, one is already a certainty and another almost so. W s e The main entertaining this season will be dinners, theater parties, as there will be so many excellent attractions at the thea- ters, luncheons, and last, but not least, the club dances. There are more clubs now than ever before. The most prominent of all these clubs are the Friday Night, the Monday Evening Dancing Class, the Fri- day Fortnightly, the Junior Cotillon, the Saturday Night Dancing Class, the Entre Nous Cotillon and several others. At the clubs is where the dancing is so enjoyable, owing to the large size of the rooms and the perfect floors, rendered so by the aid of canvas covering. E. M. GREENWAY. s KNOTES.
