Social Events OF the Week--Coming In
tertainments.
TACOMA, Feb. There has been no sur
plus of social events to astonish the on
locker and TO wearJ the average society
goer in this city during the past week.
Some of the feminine portion of the popu-
lation have indeed too much of their time
occupied at present in planning and decid-
ing upon some bewitching gown, in which
to appear at the Charity ball. to think of
entertaining their friends. Happy men,
Who do not have to mediate upon such .
perplexing problem, when intending to
spend an evening at . dance. For those
who do not contemplate attending the ball,
several entertainments have already been
promised them before Lent. but whether
these promises will be carried out or not is
. question hard to decide.
THE TEA cLuB's GATHERING.
Tuesday afternoon was again time for the
Young Ladies' Tea Club TO hold its fort
nightly gathering. The afternoon was any
thing but propitious in aspect, and the
hostess. Miss Garretson. looked obviously
at the threatening clouds many times be-
fore the first guest made her appearance.
Very few ventared out that afternoon, but
by those present = thoroughly enjoyable
and informal afternoon was passed. In
tellectual salad was INDUCED in, which GER
tainly brought TO light either the weakness
or the capacity each young lady possessed
for remembering quotations. On the whole,
that part Of the afternoon programme
was very creditable, very few
quotations going the entire round of the
circle before being guessed correctly. The
first prize was awarded to Miss Derickson,
Miss Holt winning the BOBBY prize About
Eve O'Clock refreshments were served, and
the departing guests all congratulated
themselves upon having braved the ele-
ments TO attend the tea Among those
