Kansas City daily journal., 1896-10-18

Hostesses who entertained last week
were happy in their selection of days and
evenings that came in the very heart of
October's most delightful weather. After
all. taking the year through, there is MOTH
ing to compare with the golden sunshine
and the purple haze of Indian summer. 1t
is time when the pessimist admits that it
IS not such a dreadful thing after all to be
alive and his opposite who sees everything
thro' rose-colored glasses, even under
depressing conditions, is more than sat
1sfied. He wonders if it is possible that a
fairer cline can await us even beyond the
shores of time and asserts that this is the
season wherein We have a foretaste of an
ideal heaven.
Now that the social whirI is fairly under
way, announcements follow each other
rapidly and the air is full of rumors Of gay
cites that are partially planned. Among
