During the hot summer months en-
PERTAINING is rather arduous task, and
evening entertainments In hot, gas
lighted rooms cannot fail TO be OPP
pressive; but, as one must see ones
friends whether the thermometer is In
the SOS or not. It is we'll TO consider
lust how to do 1t most comfortably 70
ones self and 10 them. There is no bet
ter way of entertaining ladies than by
lunches, but they must be summary and
cool, and as dainty as possible, for
ladies are prOyerbially critical and APP
preciative. Little, dainty appointments
that would be entirely lost on men are
always noticed and admired by women.
Society may not be very ac-
tive during these few pass
ing weeks, but IL will not be
very long ere a gay winter season will
be upon Us. There are promises OF not
few elaborate events In early fall, and
the beautiful weddings Of the past few
months will be more than eelipsed by
those that are to take place in the au-
tumn. But tits best not TO anticipate
TOO much for the future and best TO rest
content with the present pleasure. The
city, even though it lacks the presence
of many OF its familiar faces, that are
absent at lakeside or country homes,
has been at the boiling point OF busy
excitement during the past weeks, for
first,one embassy and then another
makes heavy demands upon the popular
resources.

The population of the town she comes
from is written in every fold OF the aV-
erage wOman'S gown. There Is pict-
uresQueneSs about the simplicity OF a
city woman's frOcks which the more
elaborate tolletteS OF her country sister
lack. The city woman ventures on
daring effects, large hats, unusual COM
blnations, and a distinct originality in
her dressing The woman from the
country town is an abject slave to the
town dressmaker, who by force Of i'm
possible fashion plates and sage re-
marks as to what "they" do or do not
''wear altogether in New York" palms
of on her gowns with as much individ-
uality about them as the fourth sheet
I'm a Ouire OF letter. nanar. The bad car
country town is due TO the dressmaker
who willfully cuts q dress BODY too
narrow across the bust. Public opinion
is q tyrant whose power is inverSely
proportional to the size OF the town one
lives In. The city woman dares to be
original. The country woman does not.
The former wears whatever she pleaSes,
the latter whatever her milliner makes
for her. The well-dressed woman is
the wise woman who studies herself and
makes every drapery and seam reflect
her own personality.

Progressive hammocks is the latest
craze. The one getting up the affair
swings a lot of hammOckS in shady

they are obliged 10 move to another
hammock. After that they vote for
the best conyerSatiOnaliSt and have to
pay for each vote. Any young man
found with powder or a long hair on
his coat is soaked with heavy fine.
