THE WEEK
IN SOCIETY

In SOCIETY
The lack of furnaces in the noun
tains is driving outing parties home
ward rather early this summer and So
ciety is awakening from its brief nap.
This is a most delightful season of the
year in which to entertain and pretty
summer toilettes with the profusion of
flowers lend beauty to functions of all
sorts. Many parties are being planned
for early September days and that
month Seems destined to be remem-
bered for its gayety, as October brings
a return of the regular club routine,
and fewer days are available for after
noon parties. AS will be noted, sew
eral events of the week were compli-
mentary to out-of-town guests and 9TH
ers were in honor of Misses Ethel Mer-
riam and Grace Peabody, who left this
morning to be absent during the COM
ing year.
Very informal but thoroughly delight
full We're the parties at the Kennedy
residence on Wednesday and Friday
afternoons at which Mrs. Leslie Ken
nedy and Mrs. G. F. Fast ofiiciated as
hostesses. Pink and white were the
dainty tints selected for the color
schemes, and sweetpeas in charming
and unique arrangement were arranged
for favors. Fragrant flowers were pref
tily utilized in decorative effects in
great profusion and the rooms were
very pretty. Euchre occupied the at
~tention of the guests on Wednesday,
while the ladies invited for yesterday
devoted themselves to whist and finch.
Dainty refreshments were served, the

ers of brown and yellow, and university
.lpennants and cushions being much in
evidence. The place card" were in
water colors in the anne tints, and suit
