SOCIAL LIFE IN PHOENIX.
It Is Beginning to Assume an
 Interesting Phase.
An Increasing Number of Entertain ments Give Joy to Those Socially Inclined-About Popular Pads Society Notes.

LnClln6Q-ADOuC fOpuldT T aoS- Society Notes. Before giving the society events of the week I wish to call the attention of my women readers to the latest so- ciety fad. Of course you all know that the newest trimming for dresses is the button. There are but tons of all colors, shapes and sizes, it is true, but I refer to the very newest one, the photograph button.
 In New York this button has aroused a violent enthusiasm in every girl old enough to have lover. No two girls can be found who have the same col or or sized button, but they are all alike in that they bear the image of mans face.
 This does not sound like very dig nified setting, but then any man looks we'll on button. This was plainly evil dent during the recent campaign. There is limit, however, to the dis play of buttons, or rather of photo graph buttons. The house gown may be adorned with as many as is desired Out the wearer is supposed to have the same face in each one); the party gown must have only one. That one is usu- ally the largest and occupies the most conspicuous place. This is a very pretty style when used moderately, but when carried to excess gives one the impression that the wearer is very much in love and Love, when it does love, in secret
 should love,
 'Tis then when love most is admired For the two Iovey-loves, who don't
 care where they love, { Make the public most nightly
 tired"
 The following paragraph is for my men readers exclusive il: The very latest style in engage ment rings is composed of three slen- der bands. The middle band is set with small but perfect diamonds; the upper band with the birthstone of the young woman, and the lower band with that of her fance.
 A majority of the horsewomen of this city prefer for habit the shirt waist and tight fitting riding skirt (some few wear divided skirts) but there are many who prefer regular habit. To these I may say that g very pretty and neat design for a rid ing habit in this city, where we have rather dusty roads, is of gray cloth made with a tight coat, the lapels anC band about the bottom of the coat being of black satin or braid,
 I shall endeavor each week to give { few such ideas, gleaned from clost reading and careful observation, an( trust that they may be of interest tt those who may chance to read them
 Society and Dame Gossip have beer very busy this week and from all ap pearances will continue to be so fo the balance of the social season.
 Prof. O'Malley gave his first of ; series of social hops on Wednesda. evening and judging from the numbe present and their happy faces, he cal rest assured that the remaing one will prove as satisfactory and as en joyable as this one.

The inv tations are very, unique in design, understand, and they are all unlik The one that I saw was particular novel in it's design.
