FEW SOCIAL EVENTS
During Past Week for Society
Attended the Carnival
FEDERATION OF CLUBS
Hold Series of Receptions
at Hotel Hamilton.

There were no large receptions givel
during the past week by any OF the ladie
of society. Every one was attendin!
the street fair and entertaining specia
friends from out of town. There wer'
too many carnival attractions TO admi
of an elaborate reception in society.
However. the Federation OF Women''
clubs has had one continuous week OF
receiving. Two of the leading clubs held
their annual opening receptions in the
parlors Of the Hamilton motel, where the
are exhibit has been.
The Cooking club had Monday evening
and many were the friends whom the
Cooking club ladies received. 1t was an
ideal place to have a reception where
the walls were covered with reproduc-
lions from the worlds greatest master
pieces in art Palms were tastefully
placed and everything neatly arranged.
O Music was part of the program and
every one had pleasant time.
On Tuesday evening the Twentieth Cen
fury club had charge of the Hamilton
parlors. A large number were again
present to enjoy the evening. Frappe
was served and the art exhibit was free
~ discussed. It was q capital idea of
the ladies to receive their friends at a
place so convenient to the street fair. In
that way sociablity was cultivated at
receptions which in no way interfered
with any one visiting the street fair.
