SOCIETY AT A Low EBB.
Cotillions About the Only Amusement
at Tacoma.

TACOMA, Jan. T.-Society is at a low ebb and
the season is drawing to close with little pros
pect of reaction. Changing in some respects
the wording of the quotation which issued years
ago from King Richards lips into "A dance,
dance; my kingdom for dancer is perhaps
plunging from the sublime into the ridiculous,
yet is without doubt the uuexpressed sentiment
of many a lover oil the light fantastic dance in
this city.
NOT EVEN RECEPTIONS.
Not even plain, everyday reception comes to
vary the monotony of the social column, the
cotillions being the only interruption at present
OF very quiet period. Still, perhaps all are
saving their energies until after Easter. At
any rate it is TO be hoped that they have some
such plausible excuse for not having lightened.
as far as they were able the daily tolls OF their
brothers and sisters in society before this, but
perhaps each one is waiting for the other to
make beginning. Still it is hoped that at
some some future period not very far of, however,
themselves in their advocacy OF the social cause.
