The Do1ngS OF Few Days Dlshed Up For
News Readers.
Every once in a while some old Ke-
nosha boy or girl comes back here to
spend the summer and invariably they
all tell the same tale" There is no
place like Kenosha." We have heard
this repeated so many times that we
begin to think that it may be this little
town of ours is not after all as bad as
she is painted. Eastern people say it is
more like an old New England town
than any other place west of Massa-
chusetts; there are more old fashioned,
aristocratic notions in vogue here, more
class distinctions, more of the real true
hospitable spirit among the citizens,
and with it all more neigLborly feeling
extant than is usual in towns in the
west. Kenosha certainly never looked
prettier than dnring the past season,
and we do not wonder that only words
of praise have been said concerning
her,
Mrs. Arthur Towne, who has been
visiting her father, Hon. z. G.. Sim
mons, for the past two months, returns
to her home in Evanston the last of the
week.
Mrs. Matthews with her three little
children and their nurses are the guests
of Mrs. 0. S. Newell.
Mrs. Kennard, an old Xemper Hall
girl, who has been guest at the Saul
tarium since May, will move down into
the city next week, there to make her
home for the coming winter, being 10th
to leave the joys Of Kenosha society for
those attractions offered by her home in
Waukegan.
Mrs. VIM. Eichelman and son are the
guests of Burr Simmons on Park ave.
MISS Bessie Bush has returned from
a visit with friends in milwaukee, and is
| the guest of Mrs. 0. S. Newell.
If the success of a social gathering is
to be judged by the amount of noise
the guests make, then indeed the i'm
promptu euchre party given on Satur-
urday night in the University hall by
the young people of the town, was in
every sense a bowling success" for
such a hurrah- boys as was heard by
the passers by was quite startling; and
when a new feature was introduced
into the game, of the one who sat next
to the dealer bidding ten whatever he
might have in his hand, it became a
game Of general hustle, everything de-
pending upon the raDidity and expedi-
ton with which the cards could be
dealt, the right bower played, points
marked down and cards shuffled and
dealt again. In this way the scorer
reached an unusual height, George
Yeoman with $50 points carrying off
the first prize among the boys and Miss
Stebbins with 365 points capturing the
ladies' first prize. Refreshments were
served at the close of the game and
dancingsfollOwed till midnight.
The coming trial will no doubt be of
immense interest to the society people
of this city, as there will be large
amount Of cross questioning, and no
doubt endless banter between the law
Yers on the opposite sides, who are of
such repute that jolly time can read
lily be promised to all present. We
heard one young society matron say
she was going to take her novel and go
early so as to be sure to have seat;
while another confidently affirmed that
she would put a chain and lock on her
chair so that she would not fail to hear
any of the interesting parts. We trust
these fair damsels hopes will not be
disappointed and that the realization
of their dreams may equal their eX
