Among organizations of q musical character
that have their social features are the Gounod,
the Amateur Juvenile Orchestra, the Church
Choir Society and the Ladies' Musical

o number OF fine dances during the season. A
source of popular amusement during this sea-
son is the hop given each week By the Rainier
Club. These are informal affairs, and for that
reason alone prove asource of entertainment to
many young people of the city. The Young
Mems Institute and St. Cecilian and ST. An
drew societies also give a number of pleasant
affairs throughout the year. In addition to
these affairs, which are to some extent public
in their nature, there is a coterie of hospitsble
ladies, who from time to time entertain right
royalty in their homes. Seattle society is not
In any degree clannish, and both its ladies and
gentlemen show that perfect refinement and
breeding that charaeterizes the true American
everywhere.
