SOCIETY NOTES.

The young people OF the First Bap-
tlst church gave very pleasant social
Friday night. 1t was we'll attended.
Three small but pleasant tea parties
were among he weeks events. Indeed,
the social functions, with one or two
exceptions, were exclusively feminine.
In the salad element OF society the
need Of recognized leader is not ap-
parent. The social impulse is very
much alive. and needs a check-rein
rathr than a whlp-a ohaperon more
than an engineer.
There has been desire expressed to
organize the singers OF Astoria and
form a social singing club. Such an or
ganiSatioL would not only be helpful
pleasure to the members. but would
benefit all Astoria
The presence Of a contagious disease
throws damper on social enthusiasm.
and there will be little to record next
week in the local society bluebook Peo-
pie may dance II they die for It." but
when 1t is smallpox that threatens
they are prone to cultivate Methodist
foot.
There is a mild but sincere lament
among many Of Astoria's society ladies'
that there is no local Ward McAllisterl
to incite and direct the social functions
OF the elect. The inactivity that is
sometimes complained OF would quick
ly disappear under the influence Of a /
popular leader. The desirable thing is
not obtrusive leadership, but capable, |
peryading one. It is a position that
has its own dangers. but none but the
brave deserve the fair"
Mrs. B. S. worsley gave a tea
Wednesday afternoon, entertaining the
ladies Of St. Agnes Guild and other 4
lady friends. 1t was charming party
and the guests were numerous. Grace
fully arranged plants and cut flowers
made pleasing decorations, and the
parlors were very pretty in detail and
general effect. There were several en-
Joyable features, but the chief attrac-
ton was Mrs. Worsely's beautiful and
valuable collection Of hand painted
china, most Of the pieces being her own
