MIDSUMMER SOCIETY
PORCH PARTIES A NEW ENTER
TAINMENT FOR THE HOT DAYS.
Fourth of July Fireworks Parties-A
French Marriage Custom-MOve-
ments of Society People.

This is the season OF the year for porch
parties. It is quite the custom now TO
have wicker or rustic tables on the porch,
with a glass or vase Of flowers from the
garden, with chairs and rocking bench
and rugs and hammocks TO complete the
furnishings On many of the porches which
have the sunlight sometime during the day
there are bright striped awnings or Jap
anese screens. These are not only to keep
out the sunlight, but also keep out the
stares of the passing populace. Porch par
ties are given in the morning Only few
of the nearest friends are invited, and these
are asked TO bring some handwork. The
hostess provides some entertaining short
story TO read, and reads it herself or has
some one OF the guests who reads we'll to
do that part. While the story is being read
the others work, and when the story Is
gossip-is prohibited as rule, as 1T is bad
form for more than two 10 enjoy this lux
ury at the same time. If the porcherS are
be served at IL. Lemonade and crackers
often take the place Of the salad The
dinner hour in this part of the country is
II or O'Clock, so porch parties meet at an
earlier hour than they might IL the mid
day was not the popular hour for the din
ner. Bingham and muslin gowns are the
cool fabrics worn at the porch party and
there Is a charming informality which
makes attending one no effort.

There is a reception at the signing of the

hibit the presents.

possible to enhance their apparent value
and number.
