SOCIETY Will AWAKEN
A Promise Of Entertainments Galore

Grand Musicale.
Society-long in torpor, almost lifeless
lis feeling the rejuvenatipg influences OF
metaphoricsl TRANSMISSION. New vigor
from new sources is putting the superan-
nusted social circle upon its hitherto I'M
steady feet-and Yakima is beginning to
look forward to winter OF enjoyment
which even tie hard times will not affect
seriously.
And with the awakening cones new
thoughts-or rather, perhaps, old ones re-
incarnated. The ladies, bless 'em, think
Yakima no longer an infant in swaddlng
clothes, but know her to be full-fedged
city Of almost 5 200 souls; and they con-
tend that "Old things have passed away;
behold, all things are new" They wish
the opening OF series of entertainments
during this winter to see the inauguration
OF the evening toilette and the full dress
suit. And the ladies should be obeyed.
There is everything TO be said in favor
OF such move-nothing against it. Pri-
marily and most relevantly is it economy
par excellence. 1t is also good form and
evidence OF culture it tends toward beau
tifying the ladies (even though they do
not need it, and it gives to gentlemen
something of a grace impossible to attain
in other attire. For nature is herself
more prodigal in her gifts than even q
modern tailor may admit-and a dress
suit or an evening costume trammels less
the movements and permits more Of free
dom and ease than those unaccustomed
to them may deem possible.
The ladies say that society is to be full
Of pleasures this winter. They are to en-
terrain, they are to plan, they will do
much toward execution. They want the
gentlemen to do but little, but they want
that little done well. As an opening re-
quest they plead for the "clsw-hammer."
Will the gentlemen acquiesce?
Following close upon the heels OF Mrs.
Geo. S. Vance's penny Party"-which
may be said to have opened the season
came the afternoon at progressive euchre
at the residence of Mrs. Frank Bartholet,
on Wednesday. This was largely at
tended affair, and altogether a most en-.
joyable one. Very dainty refreshments
were served at 5 80. The prizes were
captured by Mesdames G. S. Vance and
w. L. Conolly-the former on lone hands
and the latter for the most games. The
guests were: Mesdames Weed, Horsley,
Whitson, Owens, Benson, Versoy, Krutz,
Morrison, Prosser, Snively, d. Crandall,
S. G. Crandall, Otter, Hill, Gets, Stro
bach, Fechter, Cornett, Donald, Vance,
Connolly and Hall Misses Allen, Cam
eron, Jean Cameron, Thompson, Griffitts
Otter, Versoy and Diteman.
New entert ailments are to follow fast
On Friday afternoon Mrs. II. X. Owens will
greet her lady friends at her First street
no me, promising an entertainment of a
novel nature. On Saturday afternoon g
''Logomachy" party is on at the home Of
Miss Ward, Yakima avenue. Here is ar
affair which the ladies will fully appreci'
ate, if all naughty charges against them
be true. For logomachy means "wai
Of words"-and aren't the ladies CONVEX
