Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1916-06-18

Last night, saddened by the heat
and dismaycd by the dullness of an
unusually duh summer week--social-
ly speaking--I was bemoaning tho
fact that II was my duty 10 write
society lead and to edit the various
items OF society news turned IN or
available. ! felt bad about II that
my bemoaning became audible.
fellow-slave asked the trouble. and,
touched by his trustfui and sympa-
thetlc countenance,, j confided 1t 10
him.
"Aw," said the brute, whats the
difference No matter II you haven't
any ideas, the dear people won't eaten
on" present company excepted
The more bromide you make your So
cicty stuff the better they like It any
way"
So here goes.
| already have used up bromide
No. |, the heat, and Bromide NO.
2, the dullness OF the week from n
society standpoint. Bromide No. Is
left, however, and Will not spring
It IN the language of the uncultured
wleder OF the typewriter who occu-
pics the office den adjoining mine
II is that I wonder why more en-
tcrtaining IL not done In the morning,
these days.
In the witer, everyone stays up un-
IN morning 20 enjoy the social whirl;
now that II IN summer why not get
up In stead? This ready solution for
the social assitude OF Albuquerque
md environs IL offered free. with
tennis. golf and horseback riding TO
lure them onward, the younger set
already is praetieing It but Il remains
To be taken up by the Older members
OF society II Its social position Is 70
be assured Just now II Is merely
countenanced, not approved.
But then, who wants TO get up early
Just 10 approve anything?
There are advantages to the Idea,
though, and now really am speaking
seriously. Just think what a help It
would be TO struggling wolklng goil
like muh to have some real society do
inga 20 write about---cxcuae me-
about which to write--I never did like
10 mix my grammar that way. But
the only bright spot In the whole
calendar this week. the pesslmists not
withstanding, Is the conventional June
weddings that just viii keep recording
themselves. No matter how warm
midsummer may be. there always are
men and maidens courageous enough
60 brave its terrors. assume the re-
sponsibillties of wedlock and all that
sort OF stuff. (There goes Bromide
No, ~
They say that when one can find
nothing else about which TO write
one may write about clothes, which
always nre OF interest TO the deadller
rex. Gee, amt that highhrow lang
wldgeY) hut | do not believe IT,
Whats tho use Of talking clothes
when sport hats are all awning
slrines and everybody Is wearing out
her old clothes on q motor trip
Thercil be a lot of them worn out
next week, too, when the Shrlners SO
to Elephant Butte. Really dozens of
Albuquerque folks are planning on
making the trip TO the Highest Time
You Ever Had by a'--you know
"site" Thursday or Friday, and the
attractive part of II IL they are plan
ming 60 camp at Elephant Butte Whit
tho mobiles ennoble the novices, OF
whatever else they do to them Per
sonally, | think It's mostly "else" :;
some Of them look so badly battered
after the ceremony.
Speaking of things Masonic reminds
me. there Is something really worthy
of note that | nearly forgot-~perhap'
because ! did not do my duty as 10y
al Alhuunerquean and help greet tho
vieitors-and that Is the welcome eX'
tended the Knights Templar and theii
ladies when they passed through here
this week. That was one time wher
the city ala good turn for Itself
by offering true New Mexico hospi'
tally So much for a lead" Now
can do my worst.
