The Roanoke times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1897-1977, 1897-08-08

The last week has..been little better,
but the improvement has not been great
enough TO boast about Boosting is
said not to be. good form anyhow and that
pride goe.h before II fall" so we will
not give ourselves up to braggadocio until
we see how long the wave is going to
continue. 1t is curious that every other
week in Roanoke should be so much bet
ter than the one Intervening 1t may be
wise plan to entertain in this way and
to take fourteen days of each month to
rest up for the remaining -sixte but it
is too uncertain and the rest we get may
he often all for nothing. However if our
people prefer to have these things thus
we can do no more than accept our invita-
tions one week and grumble the next
Quite large entertainment for Monday
evening was postponed indefinitely on ac-
count of sickness in the neighbour God
and hay ride to Coyner's and it's at
tendant sulphur water boiled egg -inebri-
alton, WAS declared off on Thursday
evening because Of the threatening
weather. That sulphur water does be
come really pleasant to some people, but
we cannot understand the desire that
prompted one of the young men TO 90
swimming in it not long ago. There was
sulphur in the atmosphere also when he
is still going steadily on, and the voice OF
those bereaved becomes stronger and
louder as the days go by and the wan.
dere~s return not. Some there are who
can follow mt IL discreet distance and by
roundabout and tortuoas' ways, but there
are others whose lot it is to remain be-
hind and minister to the wants of the
homefolks and replete the excheo uer
for the coming winter.
The young men at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Windfield's on South Jefferson
street gave a delightful little dance on
Mt the top OF the house was cleared out
and the dancing was done there. The
room was prettily decorated and hung
with colored lanterns. 1t was II happy
idea on the part of the hosts and the en-
tertainment was thoroughly enjoyed. A
small german was led by--Dayton Miller.

Georgia; Miss Davant. Miss Rcrer, Miss
Blanche Rorer, Miss Clark and Miss Den.

The cool weather on Friday evening
had much to do with the pleasure of the
Cotillion Clubs german mt Blue Ridge
This german was decidedly the incest one
that many of us have ever attended there.
The floor was in beautiful condition, the
music good and, what may. sound little
peculiar ut first, the people danced with
each other. That is not always the case.
The first part washed by Mr.. Harry Stone
and the remainder by Dayton Miller.
There is al attractive crowd at Blue
Ridge this summer and all of the girls
dance we'll. The CotilliLn Club is more
encouraged than even and.will do it's best
to make the germans during the ap-
preaching season success. Those
