The Middle West tennis tournament at
the Field club monopolized societys at
tention last week. Everyone seemed In
terested In the game and showed their np-
preciation by going out early so as to lose
no points OF the game, stayed 70 dinner In
the evening to become better acquains ID
with the players and on dance nights
joined In the Home Sweet Home" dance,
so as not to miss any of the good time
prevalent. But society is capricious. This
week found them entirely absorbed in one
sport, and that of tennis. The social cal
endar for this week is almost blank,
but the resotirceful girl will find something
TO do.
you may think because there are 60
few large affairs that we are doing moth
ing but getting a good rest these months,
said a society girl the other day. 1T IL
a mistake One does not always read
our names in the papers, as they only gel
the function or more formal affairs. But
we do not rest when we have the oppor'
tunity There are always the clubs &C
attend, sailing parties, picnics, automo
bile rides small bridge gatherings and
numberless little Informal affairs which
keep US up late nights, encourages nervous
prostration, but are more fun than all thu
winter gayoties combined" Picnics arr

Those who have not migrated to tn
mountains or lakes find a great deal o
satisfaction in getting up a small part'
and taking a we'll flied hamper and drlv
ing out to some woody spot, toward tn
cool Of the evening. This is an easy an'
very successful way of entertaining as tn
hostess knows that the beautiful settini
Of the trees and grass and water Of tn
park will do the rest for the entertainment
of the guests. So time goes on w
live in the present, reminiscing things &
the past and prophesying great events 70
the future. But, as one OF our moder
writer's said Each age has its owl
standards and no one can Judge the pres
emit by the past any more than one ma
