OF the season, and consequent general
lethargy, have Kept matters IN the social
sphere in almost thorough dizziness. Yet
there were during the past week a couple of
telictous assemblings that not merely re-.
leved the ennui of the hour, but
contributed in the highest degree
toward genuine enjoyment. The one
was the reception at the elegant mansion
of Bishop Garlett's where nearly two him.

On the preceding evening, at the home of

summer season, in the shape OF picnic.
In the afternoon, abOul O'Clock number
Of ladies repaired to the park and prepared
o table with all the deliCacies OF the season
and truly, to gaze upon the many good
things was sufficient TO sharpen the appe-
tite of any epicure. Commencing at

at O'Clock supper was announced After
doing full justice to the elegant repast,
dancing was commenced, and nimble feet
kept time with the strains of the orchestra.
The dancing was continued until a. m,
when all departed for home, bearing the
memory of one of the most enjoyable
affairs of its kind ever attended.
These three events, with the lawn party
for children given on Thursday evening by
Master Walter rompkins on the occasion
OF his birthday, were substantially the
cream OF the weeks doings.
The HERALD is pleased to acknowledge
the courtesy of an invitation to the wed
ding of Miss Belle, the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. l.. W. 0glesby, in Plano, which
occurred on the 10 h inst, the happy groom
being Mr. I. A. Wythe.

will have n lawn party on Tuesday evening
at the residence of l.. W Hams. There
vii be plenty Of ic, cream AID cake.
We underst md that there is a movement
on foot which II carried out will largely add
to the general enjoyment of our citizens.
The proposition Is To secure a brass and
string band OF music for one Of our parks,
and to which ladies and gentlemen may
drive in the afternoons, and while regaling
themselves with lemonade, iC, cream, etc
may regale the ear AS well as the palate
In the city park, at Shady View or at the
fair grounds such entertainment could be
had. all cities OF any Importance are Sc
curing or have long since possessed these
delightful resorts. New Orleans has her
West End. and Spanish Fort parks, aud
thousands OF people, young aud Old, go out
to these places and enjoy the purer Dreezes,
away from the crowded, heated city, aud
stroll about the grounds in the shades of
evening or in the delicious moonlight In
Galveston, thu Garteu Verein and the Pa
vilinn are the resorts where the town each
afternoon empties its population, and
friends meet 10 exchange greetings and
cOurteses. These are but instances OF
what prevails all over the country. Why
Dallas, with no seaside attractions, with
poor aud but a very few and monotonous
carriage drives should not bestir herself to
attain some places of resort with features
similar to those above indicated. We fail to
comprehend. The subject is worthy at
tentiOn, and the sooner the enterprise shall
be inaugurated the bet er. The street car
companies, the livery stables and others are
likewise deeply interested, aud should aid
the citizens in the proposed efforts.
The city of Austin has an Art Loan asso-
citation and hn art gallery Here the works
oil amateur genius are exhibited to the pub
lie, aud the general taste for the beautiful
is much enhanced, aud young talent
IS inspired TO bring forth similar produc-
tons. This city has now attained TO such
size and cultured population that an art
gallery should pay here. We have
schools of music, OF dancing, as
well as for some OF the others of the beaux
arts, out we have no school of design, of
painting, of drawing, of eocution etc.
Numbers of our young ladies who have
lstterly completed their collegiate courses,
and others who have sometime since done
so, could find excellent employment for
their time and abilities, and facilities for
E5munerative accom- Dlishments as well, by
faithful study and instruction In the lines
now referred to- The young men could be
taught true methods OF readisg, aud young
lawyers trained in oratoricsl Improvement,
Will some one start the move that must
certainly develop into fine success under
practical and iudicous management.
