In Society.

The week has been quite notable with charming affairs the card party given on Tuesday afternoon by Mrs. A. l.. Fulen- wider being in every way one of the most beautiful affairs of the season. The ar engagement of the card tables upon the wide balconies of her house made the scene dis tnctly picturesque, the beauty and com fort of such an arrangement being com- mented upon by every woman present. Among the pretty toilettes worn was a pink figured silk in which Mrs William H. Kettig was greatly admired. The bodice had effective touches of black vel vet caught with jeweled buckles, while the yoke was of white embroidered in gold. Mrs. Walker Percy was one of the beauti- full women present, and she looked unusu- ally well in a gown of white organdie elab- orately trimmed with lace and tucks. Miss Perse wore charming frock of white with insertions of lace. Her hat was trimmed at the side with black and white plumes. Miss Lucy Morrow wore a black and white gown, her hat being of turquoise blue trimmed with clusters of violets. Mrs. AL bert T. Henley wore one of the prettieSt toilettes of the afternoon. It was a berege showing pink poppies, the bodice being draped with lace bertha. Her hat was black and trimmed with two large poppies in pale tints. Mrs. Cabaniss was particularly handsome in an afternoon gown of black and pink. Mrs Jack John son was in white. Mrs. A. w. Crandell wore smart toilette of white. Miss Mary Clare Miners gown was of figured organ die over pink, and trimmed with black Mrs. George Cruikshank was particularly lovely in toilette of gray and purple. Her hat was of white chiffon and applioued laces On Thursday evening at the Coun- try Club the presentation of a delightful little comedy in which Miss Lucy Morrow and MT. George H. Clarke took the leading roles brought together a charming assem- bly,, and the announcement that other little plays will be presented at the club house during the summer has been received with more than ordinary pleasure The brilliant programme last Thursday evening has been the inspiration of much comment the past week. MT. Clarke especially has been spoken of enthusiastically by the Country Club members and their guests. The per feet little stage that has been erected at one end of the ball room was the result of happy thought on his part, and the gen. eral picturesqueness of the arrangement was due entirely to the execution of his ideas. The stage has taken in a part of the balcony, and while of course no at tempt at scenery could be made the back ground is most effective in the rich color ings with which it is hung.
 There have been a number of coaching parties the past week, and althgether so- ciety has not yet felt the ennui of the sum- mer days.
