DULL WEEK IN SOCIETY,",
JULY Is Not Usually a Propitious
Month for Elaborate Social
Events.
Hot Weather Induces a DISPOSE
ton to Take Things Very
Easy.
Nevertheless Some Pleasant Gatherings
Are Noted-Personal and General
In Helena and Sister Cities.

"'1is most true; these news are
every tongue speaks them. Henry VIII.
The bright warm days of July have come
at length. 1t is too great an effort to keep
society's wheel a-golng at a rapid rate; we
will have to content ourselves with avn
parties, strawberry festivals, moonlight
drives, picnics and looking for something
cool to eat and to wear. The broad
brimmed hat is at it's height and the tight
fitting basque is laid aside for e cooler time
and from its hiding place is brought forth

fortunate enough to have one left from last
years wardrobe, every dry goods house has
a fine line in stock. Do not feel that you
are tout of style" if you wear a blouse, for
Mrs. Grundy has said they are to form a
conspicuous article in our wardrobes this
season. Dresses of light material are made
with wide flouncing about the skirt, and
still others are perfectly plain; wide cuffs
and collars are seen inldresses!of wash ma
terial. China silks never were displayed in
prettier designs than they are this season:
the ginghams and cheviots are striking,
and mulls and lawns are dainty.

delightful manner Each guest was pre-
scented with q souvenir. Games were played
and much youthful Rayety indulged in.

If the travelling girl is going only a short
distance out of town, TO some of our re-
sorts, anywhere within 200 miles of Helena,
the summer girl of ~ will most likely
wear n dress of some light material that
easily sheds dust, but if her destination be
farther away she will have a dress made for
the purpose.
What could be more inconCruous or in
worse taste than a rutlled, lace-betrimmed
gown in railway coach? Still one sees
such dresses in the trains, but never on the
well-dreased woman. She will be noticea-

changes. and an umbrella will DO her con-
