The past week has been almost a
rush. Three large garden parties a
hop at the Fort, a large lake party and
a number of smaller affairs have made
it the gayest week of the summer.
Garden parties have been the feature
of the past weeks entertainment
Nothing more enhancing can be imag-
ined than an evening spent at one of
these affairs. Dancing out-of-doors on
the well-waxed floor under myriads of
Chinese lanterns, to the strains of en-
]ivening music, is a perfect delight; not
TO mention a quiet filtration in one of
the coy corners that a thoughtful
hostess always provides.
Girls, have you forgotten that this
is leap year. and that leap year will
not come again very soon? These lawn
parties are just the place. Nothing
more bewitchirg can be imagined than
to sit beneath the dancing leaves of the
trees, with the moon just peeping
through, or underneath the soft glow
Of the oriental lights, to say nothing
of the charm of the sweetest little
woman in the world" in her daintiest
gown. 1t would be a hard hearted
bachelor, indeed, who could resist all
this
