daughter skins over the bulky New York yellow journals in single evening, de- yours half a dozen magazines In as short a time and then discards them for some thing new.

 The past week has been full of interest ing events and no hint of summer lam guor as yet pervades the air. All the sponsors and sponsorees have returned from Memphis and all report a glorious time. Misses Estes entertained them de- lightfully for several days and gave them a tally-ho party. Miss Mollie Irwin was entertained by the wife of the mayor, Mrs. Williams, who is a most cultured and charming woman. Miss Irwin is as dainty in appearance as a bisque doll, and her picture appeared in a Memphis paper.
 The Memphis papers give very pretty account of dinner party given by Mir and Mrs. William Gage nee Miss Irene Proudfit to Miss Jessie Whiting, one of the reigning bellies of Mobile. The color
 scheme was lilac and yellow, the cloth of l lace over yellow satin, the flowers purple l lilacs and asparagus ferns.
 Mrs Gregory Luce entertained the l Bridge Whist Club on Thursday after
 noon in her usual charming way and the 1 game was much enjoyed. There were a 1 number of invited guests besides the mem
 bers. Mesdames Gregory and Harry l Smith. Caro- Cameron, Buck, Hocombe, | and Quill. Brick ice cream in two colors,
 punch and cake were served at G. The l lady in the moon looked down Monday
 night on a very merry party who aboard l the Lady Jane, a cut little steam yacht,
 were sailing across the waters on pleas
 ure trip to Montrose. The party was 1 given by Misses Marcia Burgess, Helen | (sI,-
 Harrison and Davis Corum to some of l their gentlemen grtends whose names I won't mention for fear of making the
 others jealous Arriving at Montrose the party repaired to the spacious cottage of 1 Mir. D. R. Burgess where delicious sup l per was served by the beautiful Hebes who were hostesses. Each one brought
 one course, and the salt air had given zest l to their hunger so they all enjoyed the l repast immensely. After an hour spent
 in strolling about in the moonlight along
 the silvery beach the party concluded to
 take a dip in the briny which they did,
 and although the night was cool. the
 water was delightfully."- warm. The re- l turn trip home was made reluctantly, as
 the witchery of the moonlight upon the
 water made one 10th to leave the charmed
 spot. Mir. and Mrs. Lewis Dunlap chape-
 roned the party.
 l Some of our society folks are in tears l over the disappearance of those same face l doctors wrote you of a while back with
 a large slice of their monthly pocket
 money. One woman told me with smile
 under which lurked tears how she had paid those horrid women twenty dollars
 and had had but three treatments. Said
 she didn't want to pay 1t in advance, but
 her husband told her to do it as the be- gufling woman had persuaded him to do | so. He was having his bald spot treated l too, daily by the same Delilah who prom
 ised Samsonian hair in about two weeks
 Another victim said she didn't get any l sympathy because her husband had told
 her not to pay in advance and she had
 disobeyed in spite of the vow she had so
 recently taken to love, honor and obey.
 Said her husband had the doctor to see him and 1t was dusk but she wouldn't
 have light and kept her handkerchief
 who was cousin, said: Mary, have you
 got the toothache?' She broke down and
 acknowledged that her face had been
 skinned and she wished she had her old l face back even if 1t was ugly. Still an-
 other victim lost ten dollars, so we who
 were wary enough to stick to our ugly | old faces are shaking hands with our selves
