Now that the weddings are about all
over, II 1t was not for the home coming
of the college folks the prospects would
scarcely be as bright as they are. The
return of the young people has set society
TO dancing again, as usual, iguratively and
literally Two of the largest affairs planned
definitely for the next fortnight are dancing
parties, and half the matrons who had
supposed their entertaining over until fall,
especially those who have sons or daugh-
ters home from school, find themselves
planning something for their entertain
ment. But, after all, it matters little what
the season or the weather is, society likes
to dance and, whether it dances in honor
Of visiting girls or the home coming Of
future society men and women, it enjoys
It about as well as anything that is pro-
vided
The opening of the new club house at
the Field club last evening puts the sum-
mer season in full swing so far as the
local society folk are concerned. The Sat
urday and Wednesday evening hops and the
dining room-in fact, most of the privileges
of the club excepting the out-of-doors
games, have been seriously missed this
season, so seriously, in fact, that one can't
help wondering what society did before
the Field and Country clubs were opened.
There were several dinner parties and
many individual dinners served between 6
and o'clock at the Field club last even
ing and after that there was the dance.
The fine afternoon brought out a large
attendance for the tennis match in the
afternoon, and a good part of the mem.
bers remained for dinner and to watch II
not participate in the dancing later.
Notwithstanding the attractions Incl.
dental to the opening of the new Field club
house yesterday afternoon the Country
club had about its usual crowd out fol-
dinner and the hop later. If anything
there were more dinner parties than usua
and they were larger, too.
Among those who entertained were Mr.
Luther Drake, who had party of six; Mr.
and Mrs. D. o. Ives a party of twelve

Is the June wedding really going out c
style? Notwithstanding the fact that ther
have been two royal weddings this montl
and that the society chronicles are al
normally extended with accounts of Jun
weddings and brides, their trousseaus an
their accomplishments, the word has gon
out from those sources where the CORE,
thing socially is supposed to originate this
June Is no longer the preferred month
those who would depart from the ways 1
the common folk. But whether the prestil
of the month of roses is on the wane
not, II is certain that this seasons brid,
have departed noticeably from the anciel
tradition regarding Wednesday as a we,
ding day.
Monday for health Tuesday for wealth,
Wednesday the best day of all
Thursday for losses, Friday for crosses
Saturday no day at all.
This is the verse that has guided Il

And along with the time-honored prefe

some of the other well established we

vitation is no longer looked upon as e
