Garrison life at Fort Douglas was
very quiet last week, and especially in
the way Of entertainments and social
gatherings. On Friday evening the reg
ular fortnightly hop was given in the
post hall, and nearly all the officers and
ladies' of the garrison We're present
mere We're also several up from the
city to enjoy the dancing
These little informal hops are events
mat are counted upon among the gar
rison people, to break the dun monot-
ony OF the steady grind Of military af-
lars. Then, too, they have always
proved welcome way of passing the
long winter evenings. Even the city
society people find them very enjoyable
parties. for there is never one given at
which there are not invitations issued
TO some of the city's 400.
. . .
Alternating with the bi-monthly hops
are the meetings of the Charity Card
club. This is strictly garrison affair,
and meets every two weeks in the
rooms of the Officers club. Euchre is
she game now preferred, but some
other game will be substituted after all
have bee ONE tired of euchre.
1t is the custom of this club to have
two people give each entertainment in
their turn. The usual way is for a
married lady to select some bachelor
officer to aid her in giving the party.
The lady prepares the refreshments
while the gentleman gets the prizes and
attends to the other small details. The
entertainment this week will be given
by Mrs. Liscum and Adiutant Cart
wright.
