breathe. The
married folks and the younger element as well
were hurried from one affair into another ana
sleep remained comparatively an unknown
quantity TO those who were the fortunate re-
cipfents of invitations to all. II was in fact
ceaseless whirl. People who have lived in Seat
tie for years and who have been in all social
movements do not remember such another week
at this season since society became in any degree
organized. On Monday evening the weather
was unfortunate and on the evening following
threatening but in only q few cases Ola tnis
alter the amazing zest which seemed TO possess
the city's pleasure-seekers Ii takes quite
story to record the affairs of the week. Society
for some time has been upon expectations tip
toe, looking forward TO Mrs. Thomas Burke's
Japanese tea and lawn party. Several
times it had been spoken of and
deferred owing to the unfavorable
condition of the elements. aud even this week,
when everything was ready, IL looked as though
the fates were against the intended entertainer,
but on Wednesday evening the affair did finally
take place, and it was pronounced by host of
those in attendance as fully worth the waiting
for. Mrs. John A. Kfnnear on Wednesday after
naon, at her mansion in Queen Anne town, gave
q reception, the decorations for which were
maryels OF beauty and or ginality. On Tuesday
afternoon Mrs. Joseph W. Gregory entertained
in honor of Miss Morrison. On Wednesday
-
able dancing party at her residence in North Sc
attic. On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Charles B.
Hopkins entertained in honor of Mrs. John Is.
Allen, wife of United States Senator Allen. On
Thursday evening the Cotillion Club gave a
fairly well attended hop at the Madison street
pavilion. On Tuesday evening a reception was
rendered Colonel Z. w. Young at Leschi park
pavilion previous TO his departure for Min
neapolis, where he attends the national encamp-
ment OF the Sons of Veterans. On Friday after
noon the Ladies' Musical Club gaye-a musicale
that reflected the very highest credit on all con-
cerned. On Friday evening Mrs L S. J. Hunt
gave cotillion party at Yarrow
In addition to these events, each of
which claimed the attention of many
within its respective circles, there were other
affairs, such as the promenade concert at Ra-
VIENNA park, given under the auspices of the
Ladies Organ Fund Circle OF Plymouth Congre-
gational church, the opening of rehearsals of
the Gounod Club, the meeting of the Halter Law
Club the affair of the Friendship Social Society,
the ice cream social OF the Ladies' Aid Society of
Our Lady of Good Help, and other affairs OF
similar nature, all Of which tended in some de-
gree 70 make Seattle rather a lively place during
last week. The period just ushered in promises
to be quite brilliant as well, and quite a num-
Der OF elaborate affairs have been arranged.
Mrs. Burke's Japanese Tea.
Mrs. Thomas Burke on Wednesday evening
gave her japanese tea, and it proved to be- the
most original and unique social entertain
ment OF the season. The grounds at "The
Laurel" were beautifully illuminated Count
less numbers OF Japanese lanterns were ar
ranged about, and over all glorious moon shot
forth flood OF light upon the land and water
and created . scene that will not ever be for
gotten. Among the trees the decorator, Miss
Bates, had strung Japanese musical instru-
ments, and in many ways had created very
charming effects. The platform was gaily dec
Grated with flowers, fern and pot plants. Two
large bonfires in the evening added to the pic
turesqueness Of the scene. The hostess received
alone, but in the pleasuresble duties of making
all who came enjoy the affair, she was assisted
by Mrs II. b. Bagley, Mrs. Morgan ]. Carkeek,
Mrs. George g. Lyon, Mrs. Erastus Brainerd,
Mrs. w. IL. Humphrey and Mrs. J. c. Haines
