number OF picnies, camping out and boating
parties, were INDUCED In by smaller parties, but
proved in no degree lacking in enjoyment The
one charming idea developed in almost all of
these affairs Is the universal desire TO decorate.
Not ostentatiousy or gaudily, not with the vul-
ff1sfn hat h fhu hut
with taste and delicacy, with pure love of the
beautiful and desire to produce complete har-
mony OF surroundings. All this shows q cul-
ture that is rapidly erystallizing In our midst,
culture that, while not tending to produce vol
uptuous luxury, marks with clearness the de-
velopment of q cultivated community. Another
thing observed In Seattle, and of generally
commendable nature, is that the people here
dress well; but no one goes crazy over costume,
and We have few who might be styled distinct
lively tailor-made men and women.
