TACOMA Feb. U.-D1scusstng the WINDY month
Of March, and it, effect upon skirts and hats, an
Eastern belle told some of her Tacoma friends
that she was very glad that she was to spend the
hrst month Of spring on Puget sound.
"In the East" said the fair one, with cynical
smile, "March ID not considered one OF the most
agreeable months OF the year, especially for our
sex, - who among our number could possibly
appear to Q graceful advantage when walking
up the street in high wind, her hat blown 20
- to assume Z slightly jaunty appearance, her
gown tossed about in an unbecoming manner,
and she, herself should it chance to be raining),
in momentary fear In case her umbrella should
be blown inside out?''
It 10 cause of congratulation to those resid-

NO PRIVATE ENTERTAINMENTS.
No entertainment Of private character has
drawn together the members Of society in this
city during the past week. In fact, it Is feared

NO INTEREST IN CARDS.
Card playing has quietly and unobtrusively
dropped out of all competition, without leaving
the small consolation of An occasional card party
to brighten an evening or enliven an afternoon.

the sterner sex was excluded, babe fair to
