The Roanoke times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1897-1977, 1897-08-29
Society :: !; o"

In response to our earnest appeal the
good people of Roanoke have come nobly
to the front. The last week, which, hc-
cording to custom, should have been one
of absolute repose. was full of events 1t
has been impossible for us to get them
all, but that does not matter. They
happened and our reproach has been re-
moved. We trust that our homes for re-
newed and continued social activity will
find glorious fulfillment. It costs little
to entertain in q small way and such en-
tertainments are always more pleasant.
Now that the weather is warm and the
flower pots are out of doors, the stoves
out of the way and windows are not apt
to get broken, n little dance finished off
with watermelon or two is no trouble
at all beyond the disposal of the rinds
and cigarette stumps. There is talk of
phantom party to be gotten up by the
ladies in the near future. Phantom talk
Is cheap, but ut this particular time we
think that it means something. We are
waiting for the word to ''get your part
ners."
