There was nothing In the social world
in a large way during the past week eX-
fcept the german--althoaeh rs compared
with the preceding week it showed ~ great
Il improvement. Circus PARTIES were talked
of at different times, but did not materi-
& altze. These parties are usually lots of
Z fun, being entirely informal aud Ego as
L you please,'' and are therefore as a rule
Il popular and frequent when opportunities
Y present themselves. If Something does
not turn up soon to relieve the monotony
I we will lie compelled to fall back upon
s the trolley rides for amuoement. 1t is
said that there will be nice crowd at
Blue Ridge this summer, so it is safe to
say that the usual germans will be given
there again if the men will offer the least
acknowledgements. That is something TO
look forward to. Occasionally there has
beensgreat difficulty in getting chaperones
Tor these and other things, but the pros
poets for u large output are SO good this
season that there will probably be no
more trouble in that direction.
The german on Tuesday was repeti-
tion CT the very pleasant time spent by
every one at the one held at Easter The
only drawback was the absence of the
regular leaders. Those that did lead,
however, made up in willingness what
they lacked in skill. 1t is hoped that the
men in charge will continue their Efforts
There is no reason why we should not
have german each month. Those present
