Society is looking forward To two big
events which viii take place during the
summer and which are not very far
away First will come the party which
the young ladies who were formerly
Identified with the old Knot A Gain
Club. viii give the latter part Of this
month or early in July. Where il Will
be given is a question. but that it viii
be such an affair that those who receive
invitations Will take pleasure IN attend
ing there Is no doubt. In she past the
Knot Gain young ladies have had
charge OF parties which were gems, and
which society discussed with favor for
long time after they were things Of
other days. Il viii he 50 with the COM
ing party. june or July is the proper
time fer such an affair as contemplated.
There will be harvest OF roses, pretty
light gowns will be worn. and the ability
displayed by the young ladies' will make
the party the smart dance of the season
among the young sets Miss Mcknight
is looking after the affair.
After the Knot A Gain party viii come
the tennis ball Society admits that
eclipses any other that takes place in
the city during the entire year. That
may be saying considerable. but as il
is the truth there are not many who
will take exceptions to IL. The tennis
tournament Will take place about the
middle or July. and when IL is ended
the tennis ball will come Society turns
out when there is a tennis ball II
turns out al no other time in the year.
IL is something refreshing Just 10 recall
last years ball It was held in the the
alter. The big stage Was extended out
over the dress circle and furnished a
dancing floor that cannot be excelled.
The music was probably not as good as
Sousa's but those who were there and
danced the two-step TO King Cotton
were so inspired that they thought ii
was. The theater was styiishiy decor
a'ed. and the gowns worn were some
thing that are seen at few functions in
this city, One Of the many delightful
things which went toward making last
years bail a fond memory was the pres
ence in the city Of So many pretty Eyst-
ern society girls. Twenty-Five were
there. and that they did puch 10 add Tn
its charm no one will question with any
degree of seriousness. This years ball
promises TO hold it's own with that Of last
years. II would he difficult to surpass
If; if the coming one equals the one that
is past. society Will be very. very thank
fui.
