The musicale to be given at the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Julius Pollock, on Chap
line street, a week from Tuesday night,
for the benefit Of the new City Hospital,
promises TO be a most entertaining af-
fair. The programme will not only en-
brace many of the old favorites, but
will bring to the. surface some new
stars that as yet have been little heard
in this section. There swill be rich
variety of vocal and instrumental feat
ures. A committee of competent ladies
is now engaged in making out the pro-
gramme, which is well under way.

A. garden party! There's sort of
magic about the word. 1t suggests, the
minute we hear it, the greenest Of
grass, the shade of luxuriant trees, easy
lounging seats, soft music, singing
birds, fair women, the simmer Of
light, dainty gowns, the murmur Of
languid and subdued conversation, the
gay 1utter of bright tennis colors, and
ever so many other delightful things.
This is what makes outings so ever en-
ioyable, aud particularly evening fetes.
1t was in a measure what made the en-
ioyable fete at the Berger homestead on
Thursday evening, given by the Chan
eel Chapter OF st. Luke's Episcopal
Church. The ladies who constituted
the committee, to whom the success Of
the affair is largely due were Mrs. W..
A. Wilson, Mrs. George Lutz, Mrs. l..
F.. Sands, and Misses Minnie Bowie,
Bette Mcclure, Blanche Hoge, Carrie
Brues, Mary Irwin, and Belle McCabe.

There is lawn tennis club in town
that is fast acquiring marked proticen-
cy in the sport. 1t is composed OF d
number of the young Jewish society
people, and they gather on the green
two or three times a week, welding the
racquet with an ease and grace that Is
refreshing to witness. The court is To-
Gated on the Island, near the old ball
grounds. The gentlemen Of the club,
who are generally conceded TO be the
medal winners in the sport, are Messrs.
Benz. Kraus, Joe Baer, Benz. Hork-
heimer and Dave Kraus. The four par
ticularly skillful ladies are Misses Flora
Kraus, Sara Horkheimer, Mollie Baer

Although the fashion element OF So
ciety has to some extent left the city,
still there are quite a number Of bellies
and beaux left TO enjoy out OF door
sports to the utmost. Ii goes without
saying that among these lawn tennis is
first favorite, and next 10 this comes a
gallop on ones favorite horse lover the
hills and far away" Early morning is
the time liked best. When the air is re-
dolent with the perfume Of dew-laden
flowers and filled with the music OF song
birds, then it is that the society girl
realizes the JOY Of living and IN the &C
cession Of vitality and the glorious feel
ing Of Astounding health feels herself a
recreated being.
Miss Nettis Hostetter, Of the East
End, very handsomely entertained a
number of her friends Thursday even
ing. The affair was in honor Of her
guest, Miss Nellie Free, Of Pittsburg,
and it was very enjoyable one through
out.
An amusing episode that ever and
anon interpolates social life occurred
last week in which a prominent lady,
member OF one of the social clubs, fig
ured. 1t seems that she was going 10
an informal gathering one evening, and
she sat upon the doorstep patiently
awaiting his arrival. 1t was ten min
utes past eight, way beyond the con-

happened around to make call, and IL
was finally arranged that in the event
the first gentleman failed to material
ize, caller No. 2 would do the escort

longer and then veil starts there now, y
