and Mrs. A. q. Avery leave for the

Mrs. John L. Wilson and her daaaah-
ter Helen win ls4ve FOR Seattle in
day or %. Mrs. Frank Post and
her children win spend the summer
IN New York state. Miss Jennie Pat
terson has returned from Europss and
expects to visit Spokane this summer
before returning to her father and
mother. who are still abroad. .Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Allen and children
have gone to Wallace to spend the
summer. and I suppose most self
respecting people in town will think
they have to make a change Of some
kind this summer, but our summer
SO far is hard to improve upon.
Mrs. Jack Stewart gave one Of The
most successful and elaborate func-
tions Of this season on Thursday
afternoon. I think most OF the wom-
en- in town were there and rubkihg
their best. Mrs. Stewart wore
most exquisite gown OF white. :. MtA
John L. Wilson received with her and
she was beautifully gowned in white.
Mrs. r. WEIGH also looked unueually
well in a light blue creations that
was very beautiful; in fact, every
body looked their best. The dinins
room reminded you Of a page torn
out Of fairy tale book, with the
most exquisite and lavish decoiations
OF pale pink roses and maiden hair
fern. The arrangements were al ele-
CANT and perfect, and it was a. great
success. ~
Mrs. James Clark and daughter,
Miss Agnes. entertained Friday after
noon at a reception. And 1 am sure
there are not any more beautiful
houses to entertain in than Mrs.
Clark has. Mrs. Dennis Clark assist
ed them in receiving. She was gown
ed in white and wore diamond orna-
ments. Mrs. Clark wore white with
black velvet about 1t. Miss Clark
wore beautiful soft pink gauze
gown that was very becoming. She
wore a wreath of tiny pink roses in
her hair. The reception room was
decorated with great quantities Of
very light pink roses, the music room
in American beauties, the library in
deep red and the dining room in
deep red also. Each room seemed
prettier than the other. Punch was
served from the porch by a trio Of
pretty girls. 1 don't think there have
been any parties where such roses
were used in greater profusion and
such artistic taste displayed in dec
Grating with them. There was a host
of pretty women assisting.
Mrs. De Lashmutt entertained a
small and informal luncheon in honor
OF her sister, Miss Euphemia Luhn
at her apartments in the Lindelle
Covers were laid for six
Miss Hazel Chant gave a most de-
lightful dancing party at Pacific hall
Thursday evening to the younger
crowd of young people and they all
had a glorious time That is a very
party.
l began with a few side remarks
and III have to close with q few
more. There was a function given
this week where one of the women
assisting and two others among the
guests coming and going were in such
a deplorable condition that it was
shocking and disgusting-and why
such behavior is countenances by
sensible women is a marvel. Spokane
society has a reputation that Is not
entirely enviable and it is brought
about by a few just such women
ana their actions should not be
countenanced. Altogether too much
pink tea. ARAREIJ,A TAIR
