The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1895-10-06

There need be no hesitation in selecting
as the great society event OF the week the
harvest festival held By the ladies' for the
Bureau OF Associated Charities We3nes-
day. Thursday and Friday ia the Collins
building. Not that the festival was in
augGrated as a society function per sc,
nut because It swept into its ample plans
and energetic work nearly all the proni-
heat society women OF the city, and those
who were not workers were at least pa
irons If at any time during the week
caller had sent in his card TO any society
leader IN any quarter of the city the
chances are nine 10 one that he would have
received the reply: Not at home; she IS
al work for the harvest festival" For
tunately for the success of the ladies in
their enterprise, they not only contributed
material aid by soliciting supplies and
doing all the enormous preliminary work
incident To such an undertaking, but they
gave the whole affair a certain prestige
land made it the fashionable thing.
All THIS VIII serve to explain why other
wise the week was a very quiet one in So
iciety circles. No time and no space SEEM
! ed TO be left for anything else. the har-
! vest festival filled the social horizon. All
things else were reckoned from il, and
nearly all things were made to contribute
more or less directly 10 IL. If q boating
party were planned, ii was so scheduled
as not TO conflict with the great festival.

clear OF a collision with the festival ball.
II lunching party were organized. in
stead OF setting up for itself ii patronized
the New England dinner. If maynard
children needed something pleasant TO be
made good, il was not sugar plums but
visit to the Alaska exhibit that was offer
ed to them by doting parents. The pat
ronage took wide range. and the stream
or humanity that passed by the busy
booths embraced alike the keen-eyed
scientist and the fippant pleasure seeker,
the sober matron and the giddy girl.
