The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1900-08-26


TrN HE past week has been very
quiet. in marked contrast 10 the
two preceding weeks, when the
tennis tournaments and tennis
IL balls took place in Seattle and
Tacoma A large number Of
Seattle people who were In Tacoma during
tennis week have returned home. From
their statements II IL gathered that the
Tacoma tennis ball was as successful as
that given by the Seattle club. Since then
society has settled down once more to its
regular course. The weather threatened
rain during the latter part OF the week
and interfered somewhat with outdoor af-
fairs
The older society people OF the city did
very little last week. One or two lunch
cons and a picnic were about all that
happened With the younger people things
we're buster. The dance given by Mrs.
Blaine on Monday night was perhaps the
largest affair. Card parties and luncheons
and Informal affairs were also given.
Considerable preparation is going on
among those stiil younger in anticipation
OF the beginning Of school. A large num-
Der OF young people will leave the city for
schools in the East within the next few
weeks. Their departure viii undoubtedly
give occasion for a number Of farewell
parties
The camping season is drawing to
close and most OF those who have been
spending the summer out of town are re-
turning Tho season this year has not
been as long as usual, but some people are
Roing to take chances with the weather
and remain out a few weeks longer.
Yachting continues to be a popular pas
tins. This time OF the year Is especially
delightful TO people who are fond OF
good sail, as the wind is moderately

danger Of being becalmed. Ono OF the prin-
cIpal and well-known yachts in the fleet,
the Keipie. has been out of commission all
summer, and her absence has been great
~ felt In other summers II was rare
thing when she did not take out at least
two or three parties every week.
For this week nothing special has been
announced. A reception will be given
Thursday evening by Mrs. r. s. Stimson,
and a few luncheons viii take place
Tho largest affair Of the week, and one
Of tho most enjoyable, was tho dancing
party given Tuesday evening by Mrs.
n. r. Blaine in honor OF Miss Blaine and
Miss McKeel. two young ladies' who are
spending the summer in Seattle. The
party left Seattle at 7:so on the West
