TACOMA SOCIETY.

mer Season."
TACOMA, July 19.-An are exclaiming at pres.
ent, or II they are not they thinking il, that
a. the summer is called the gay season in this
city, it is very hard that there is not more to
show for ii, for certainly any stranger arriving
here now would not be asfonished by the over
abundance OF social gatherings and entertain
mentS Yet. If the matter Ia sifted to the bot
tom, the general conclusion arrived at is that
people expect too much, and that there are
really constant sources of amusement offered to
those who will only avail themselves of the op.
portunit'es. Those staying at the Tacoma hotel
can certainly not complain of having nothing to
do as every morning the concerts claim their at
tenttoL, and these, when the weather permits, are
held ON the broad piazza. The hops, too, especi-
ally since the one on Saturday evening has been
changed to Friday night, have been particularly
enjoyable, bat alas! everyone cannot attend
hops ana those who do not viii have to go
through the summer with their social desires
either unsatished or fulfilled in some other way

sidered exorbitant. having been 10 cents, and all
