Yl quietness has been passed by
Al Seattle society people. There
Hl\ Is no apparent reason for II
"a Ia except perhaps the weather.
At this time OF year. accord
ing 10 the usual run Of things on Puget
sound, IL II supposed 70 be raining ali
the time. Last week was however. a
surprise The weather was as bright
and warm every day as a spring day.
The weather may be responsible and IL
may not be- however the fact remains
That society people were very quiet
ray OF hope lies in the fact that they
may only be resting on their oars pre-
parttory 10 entering upon a winter OF
faiety.
.Dthing large or elaborate took place
iasf week. Social affairs were confined TO
ore or two card parties. n luncheon or
fvu and the usual dinner entertainments
b. portant among the affairs were the
iecheons given Friday by Mrs. Burke
sad Thursday by Mrs. Thomas Green
~ Informal reception was given Thurs
a 6ay by Mrs. j. ID. Farrell Other fea-
ilyes OF the week were the concert at
l'ymouth church Friday night and Rev.
~ n. Gowens lecture Wednesday night
~ Parksr's art rooms. For evening d.
version the one redeeming feature OF the
week was the theaters. Both theaters
people. partly for the lack OF something
to DO and partly because the season had
j,ist opened. As tho season goes on the
alter parties will probably become more In
vogue.
This week promises 70 be brighter.
