With the mercury scrambling to set
new record in its daily and nightly
ascent, one has visions of such of the
society people as have chosen or been
obliged to remain at home this sum-
mer, lounging in the basement or on
screened and vined porches, clad in
minimum of civilized garments, or
seated at the nearest soda fountain
slipping iced drinks through straw
The vision, for the most part, is
true one. Some of the men still get
amusement out of a golf game, but
the enthusiasm of the women for the
links is at a pretty low ebb just now.
hTe tennis girls long ago hunted the
shade.
One woman promises to give
birthday party for her little son IF
summer party when the first cool
wave comes, but meanwhile most of
the card clubs which decided to con-
tinue their meetings during the sum-
mer have given it up. The Monday
Whist club and the Fillmore Street
Whist club held their last meeting for
the summer a week ago.
The young women who are mem
bers of the Wednesday Afternoon
Bridge club expect to continue their
meetings through the summer, and
will be entertained Wednesday of
next week by Miss Guenn GODDARD. at
her home in Boswell avenue y.
The women have already begun to
plan what they will wear next winter,
and word has gone out from some of
winter will be more daring than be-
fore. The Garment Makers associa-
ton of Chicago are making next sea-
sons gowns of thin material, without
sleeves, and with wide, deep slit in
front. At the Chicago Manufacturers
show in Chicago, fashions and police
orders clashed. The silhouette, the
tango gown, and those with the long
slit, were shown, and with them were
some more modest costumes. Tiers of
flOunceS will be popular on the com
ing gowns. Colored furS are among
the new novelties, such as brown
skunk colored green, and white fox
cO!Ored q cherry red.
For bathih~ costumes bloomers have
been decided upon. A wide Turkish
sash worn about the waist will be a
stockings against the ordinance of
the city of Chicago-wil be a part of
the suit
