RESI- OF MAY WILL Be RATHER DULL
Summer Plans and Other Timely
Topics.
P E r S ON AL N o T Z S

Social life might be considered deadly
dull if the leisure hours were not utilized
In outdoor amusements. These latter need
not necessarily be fashionable affectations
or hiSh-priced diversions. If the company
is all right, street car riding answers all
the purposes for the average sensible
young or old persons and for the former
just many romances are being worked
out to their usual result as if the little
winged god had especially ordained this
form of procedure. Anybody going golf
liHkward can watch quiet demonstrations
of this truth any day now and as society
never entirely deserts the capital, however
lonely it may seem, there will be plenty op-
portunity to observe further developments
a month or two later. The rest of the May
days will be devoid of entertainments, so
far as announced dates would imply. June
anticipatons in the way of weddings
not up to the average, but will probably
more than balance in the matter of inter-
est. There at least is no question to
the good looks of the rose month brides
Miss Hchborn, Miss Bessie Orme and Miss
beauties.
The topic uppermost is the discussion Of
summer plans, which in most cases rarely
reaches final settlement until the extreme
heat of the summer begins. Those already
occupying suburban homes finding the
greatest enjoyment of the year, since they
are the most envied of mortals and have
no end of company, which is the most salts
factory expression of the applause of ones
friends. Those who have homes at dis
tant points equally anxious to be in
them, but for the still larger contingent
who look forward to three or four months
Of hotels there is no special hurry about
leaving town till late dates in June.
