Society is just breathing. That's
about all that can be said of it. An oc-

or church entertainments the only sign
of life given. Many of Mrs. Grundy's

summer, and still others are preparing
to follow. Most of those who were at
home attended Mrs. j. H. Aliens recep-
giant in every detail. The rooms on the
lower floor were eXquisitely decorated
with flowers. The chandeliers, mirrors
and dO0rWayS were feStooned with
SmilaX, and the choicest cuttings of the
green house were to be seen in such
prOfusion that the parlors had the ap-
pearance of floral bowers. The table
from which refreshments were
served was prettily trimmed with
pink tulle, a mirror in the center
was bordered with roses and smilax,
arranged upon it. Hidden behind a
screen of palms, in the hall, Seibert's
