ENTERTAINMENT.

when the near departure of some so.
cial favorite for Fields and pasture
new gives rise to an outbreak o
gayety, almost-not quite-we fee
elated at the going. You understand
of course, that such doubtful wisdom
emanates in the name of social ac
tivity, which state of existence il
supposed to be utterly frivolous ant
lacking in feeling.
Talking of social favorites who
venture into other climes, there's
Mrs Strong (preceded by w. w. II

and Mrs. c. e. Hodgin. Because the
former leaves Wednesday for New
York, whence she will sail with a
party of friends and her lesser hall
sometime in the month of May for
extended European wandering
friends here spent the week in a
round of gayety. 1t almost max es
one wonder when Mrs. Strong will
have time to "pack" if this keeps up
until the day OF her leave taking.

The ball started rolling Monday
with Mrs. Strong's afternoon at cards
when Mrs. G. E. Hodgin, who sails
with Mrs. Strong, but who does not
go east for few weeks yet, was joint
honoree. Decorations We're happily

A., in all its glory and not a whit
abashed by the proximity of royaltys S
emblems.
The flags created interest enough,
guessing to which country each flag
belonged and resulted in an awful CD
show OF ignorance. But never mind,
cards were the prime amusement.
and Mrs. Hust captured very hand
some prize. The luncheon, which
happened along in the course of
events, further emphasized in its dec
orations, the lands across the distant
seas and was a huge delight in every
sense-the senses of seeing. hearing
and tasting.
Tuesday was the usual meeting day
of the Bridge club. of which Mrs.
Strong is member, and as it was the
last time she would play with them
for many moons to come. it was en-
deavored by the hostess, Mrs. Frank
Tull, to make the session one or more
than customary enjoyment. Mrs. Tull,
by the way, goes herself this week
for visit in Nevada. No, not Reno.
To return to the bridge party, the
playing went with keener zest and
the luncheon after the games stren-
uosity was prettily appointed and al
together delightful, both conversa-
tionally and culinarily speaking.
