SOCIAL NOTES.

SOCIAL NOTES.
If Denison cannot "kill the bear"
socially we do not believe any town in
Iowa can.
The social whirl has been as the
newspaper reporters would say, Gin
our midst" and every one has had a
good time.
One marked feature of this season
has been the absence of large parties
and the number of small and elegant
dinners. The number of courses served
and elaborate floral decorations and
exquisite dinner cards have made these
small affairs delight to the eye and
have made mental pictures that will
long be remembered.
The fine art of dining is we'll worth
while, and the table talk heard in
Denison is exceedingly interesting.
Some recent new corners have said
Denison was the most social town they
ever lived in. ''People seem so glad
to see each other" was another re-
mark made by an out of town visitor
that sounded good to those who know
and love the Denison friends. We
presume there will be quite lull in
social matters until Xmas time when
the bright young faces of our school
boys and lasses will set the ball in
motion again.
On Monday and Tuesday evening of
last week Mr.. and Mrs. N. l.. Hunt
gave teas to their friends. Chrysan-
themums were the flowers used for the
table decorations and Mrs. Hunt serv-
ed very elegant three course tea. The
guests had, on both evenings, very
enjoyable and social visit.
On Friday afternoon the w. R. G..
had a pleasant and profitable thimble
bee at the home of Mrs. j. Blackman.
Lunch was served and was much
enjoyed feature of an afternoon devot-
ed to good works and good time.
On Wednesday evening Mr.. and
Mrs. Mcmahon gave small and ex-
quisitely appointed dinner compliment
tary to Judge and Mrs. Conner. Mrs.
Mcmahon, we predict, will be amaz-
ingly popular in Denison for she has a
most charming personality.
The dinner rendered Mr.. John Sew
ell by Miss Ethel Gulick on Thursday
night was decided success. The de-
lightful cordiality Of the Gulick home
is so we'll known that it is one of the
accepted facts The table was very
lovely in white and green, candles
shaded in green, favors and carnations
were used in working out the color
scheme. The favors were extremely
clever, being figures of DO VS. and girls
done in water colors. The figure stood
upright on the name card and each
held in it's hand joke that was read
and enjoyed by the guests. A very
appetizing and delicious five course
dinner was served by Mrs. Voss and
Miss Meyers. After the dinner the
guests were pICoCACCu WIFI SeAAN0 uPo1
