The Eject of the $. Il. q. club on the soei-
ETY. of Fort worth--frogr'ss of Society
During tho Current Season.
The intelligent observer who has min
pled in society in this city during the
present season cannot have failed to
notice the general improvement in the
social system of this city. When the
season was inaugurated there was
much fear that it would prove dull and
lifeless, a strange apathy seemea TO
have fallen over the social world which
the various spasmodic efforts on the
part of some of the young people could
not break. The social sky was cloud
ed, with no sign of clearing up, the
Young members of society seemed con-
tent to do nothing but lament over the
deplorable condition of affairs without
trying to inaugurate II revolution.
From time to time the GAZETTE point
ed out how the season was gliding 10y
with no visible signs of life in social
circles, and urged upon the young peo-
pie to exert themselves 10 make
the city pleasant, socially
during the winter season.
After sometime the married folks,
seeing how the social question was
evolving itself, determined 10 set to
work TO improve the tone of the social
entertainments in Fort Worth. They
build,d better than they knew when
they founded the
$. Z. {. CLUB,
which was destined to become land
mark in the society annals of Fort
Worth. Starting out with an avowed
l. To-, 81. . ,nt1 An "A
the news that the >. i. G. club would
give n social on certain night was
sufficient to create a general interest
throughout the city. Their first ell
tertuinment may be called the inau-
guration of the number of elegant So
cial entertainments which have since
occurred in the city. 1t became quite
the thing To attend the entertainments
given by the club where the most ele-
giant society OF the city was seen, and
extend an acquaintance among the
most talented people of the Fort.
Those who could not dance ayailed
of the benefits of the
dancing school and mt each enter
tainment new dancers but familiar
faces were seen on the floor. The ben
eft which the social system of this
city has received fro n the >. p. Z.
club il very great, and lis influence Is
Of that kind which time cannot take
away, CONFUSED of some of the best
society in Fort Worth, parsnts had no
objection to allowing their daughters
to participate in its entertainments.
At their last soiree the faces of most
of the bea1x and bellies Of the eity were
seen Ms they gracefully moved in the
dance or laughed over
sANDwICuEn, PICKLES AND COFFEE.
So popular did these entertainments
become that numerous guests from
neiyhboring ci)ies ana towns partici-
pated in them and il is safe to say
they rank high sp in the list of enter
tainments throu In nut the state. AL
ready has the cub been successful;
may it live throagh many seasons
with increasing strength and growing
popularity in its work of
eleyating and promoting the
social system NJ Fort Wortb.
The greatest event in socieoy this
season WAS the
LEAP YEAR BALL.
Who that was there can forget 1t 2
1t was great compliment to the Ia
dies who managed it, and will long be
remembered by all who participated
1t IL more shan probabls that this bali
would not have been ssch "a success
HAD not the >. y. G. club been in active
organization. Their previous soirees
had exIensled the social circles To suchl
an extent shat the ball needed only
the hearty cooperation %. the ladies
to insure its brilliant carrying out.
Thus, INDIRECTLY were the young la
dies under obligations to the married
folks for their great social triumph.
There can he no refinement in social
circles where the line of demarkation
~ not drawn and the problem of so
oiety is where TO set this line, Those
who are entitled to either side event
ually get there when the lines are
rigidly drawn. 1t lies in.the power &C
the S. p. G. club to found So
ciety in this city on y
sound and substantial basis.
Looking back upon the social problem
rs 1t was before the founding of the ).
T.. G. club aud gazing ut IL now, it is
easy to see that Fort Worth has made
rapid strides In the past few months.
The masque tall which Is promised
to he given under the auspices of the
club promises TO be u brilliant affair.
The clubs success in the past is almost
a guarantee that II will be so, and the
young people are already anxious to
know who will be invited.
