T HAT THE social. calendar was not
especially interesting this week
= was perhaps due to the glorious
sunshine. Society Is loath to miss these
last few days out Of doors and so, there
probably will be scarcity Of the larg-
or functions; social obligations being
forgotten while the wonderful wealth
cr lasts.
Motor trips, club gatherings and i'm
promptu affairs, arranged on the spur
Of the moment still hold full sway and
were the principal diversions OF the
week.
However, there are numerous smart
affairs planned for the near futures and
no the season gives every promise OF
plenty of social gaycty.
The dancing clubs have not yet been
organized and although there probably
will be several crop up before the first
of the year, there is some doubt as to
whether or not the subscription dances
will be resumed again this season.
The smart set IL naturally on the qui
yive for these parties, which were pre-
mier over anything that has ever been
given in Salem; and IL Is hoped that
there will be some Of the members who
are energetic enough to assume the re-
sponsibil,es Of these dances again tins
winter.
Among the events OF the week were,
Mrs. Russell Catlin and Mrs. Henry u.
Thielscn s Kensin2ton, Thursday, the
bridge for which Mrs. Lenta Westa.
colt was hostess Friday afternoon and
the Orange club dance honoring Com
