Society !, =

The week has been one of continued
anxiety. People have been so much eb.
sorbed in the. weddings that they have
not had time to enjoy the warm weather.
These weddings have been sufficient unto
themselves. Socially there hns been
nothing else. Other things would not
have beer enjoyed IL they had occurred.
The matrimonial wave seems to be of
large proportions. We hear of people we
know falling before it in all parts of the
country and wedding presents and invi-
tations are taking each others places
with regularity and precision that
would come rather of years of "malice
and storethought" than OF the sudden,

seven year locusts the popular determina
tiOn to some day renounce celibacy may
have been working in secret places and
may be just now gathering the strength
to appear before the world-or is it the
sense of security brought by number
The season at Blue Ridge has opened
and the first german may be expected
there about July 10Th. There is a move
ment on foot to organize u sort of german

and other germans which our young peo-

have enough contributing members to ms.
sure the success of any german. This
will lift the burden of responsibility from
the shoulders of any of the one, two or
three men who usually have charge of
them. 1t will be n regular organized club
and from tine present outlook seems TO be
assured.
The Hodsekeepers Protective Associa-
tion has decided to tiisband during the
wedding spell There is SO III UGH to talk
about and so many to talk about it with
that the rigid rules of the association
were found to be more inconvenient than
the ills for which they were created.
The entertainment at Crystal Springs
for the last few. evenings has been much
enjoyed and many people have combined
the pleasure of n car ride on II warm
evening and listening to good music
Band music is rs a rule IRRESISTIBLE
but when it can be heard at cool de.
lightful place like Crystal Spring it be-
comes all the more SO.
The daisy wedding OF Mr.. Thomas
West Goodwin and Miss Martha Leftwich
