SOCIAL SWIM.
A Resume Of the Social Events for the
Week.

|
season draws near its end, the soirees,
lunches, teas and receptions decrease in
number and Importance. This was weo-
! fully trIe, last week, excepting the whist
party of Mrs. Stewart and the final ball at
! the Dancing academy. The former truly
! has not been excelled in its particular line
| this season and the ball at the academy
proved a very elite affair, many of the
principle society folk being present. The
! Sunfiower euchre club is the one that &C
cording to reports still exists; the Fair
view has for some time failed to appear
with its weekly meetings that were voted
to be so regular and enjoyable during the
winter: the Tam Tam has held no meet
! ings on account of the absence of
some of its members; the Piety Hill
| promised to re-cOmmence this
| week, but for some unaccountable
reason did not The o. n. o. and Antlers
! have ended their hops, which heretofore
| offered so enjoyable evenings to the wor-
| shippers of that old Greek maid, Terpsich-
! ore.
| Last Thursday evening Mr. and Mrs. Lee
! Hall entertained a few of their friends at
! UItlt MONTE III Tie uOIluc pdTtoi Tie Gil :
| The evening was one OF enjoyment and
| only confirms the popular opinion of the
ability of Mrs. Hall as a hostess The sup
per was good and highly flattering to the
! culinary department. Cards occupied the
| attention of the guests for the evening and
! some of the guests also favored the compa-
ny with some very pleasing selections, both
| vocal and instrumental.

| In the hackneyed expression of Mr.. Tauk
Society is all agog" over tie whist party
| given by Mr. A II. Grief at his room at
! the Carey Grand last Thursday evening
! The gentlemen present are for the most
! part well known in the society circles
of Wichita. Whist was the game of
( the evening The supper was very palata-
bic, indeed, and the company spent some
| time over the ''festive board, ~ and so it is
! to be voted not the least ENJOYABLE feature
of the evening. The gentlemen present
