Signs of the Times


Society matron and maid are dis
porting themselves these warm June
days In the cooling water of the in
door Jake at the Y. w. c. A., and on
most any morning. the popularity
OF the sport OF swimming Is as
sured, for one finds most everyone
there. The ideal places nearby for
those whose amphibeous nature
leads them at this season to seek
such pleasure, are also popular and
from now on week-ends at Spavi-
nav Morgan's Inn, over at Bella
Vista ana elsewhere will be chron-
icled In society columns. 1t is the
Season for ai fresco entertainment
and one cares really for the fun
freedom that accompanies. There
are no set rules for these outings,
Tho fashionable world has apart all
formal functions; even informal
teas so popular in the spring, are
not founl In the annals OF society
nowadays. Bridge. the popular game
is played during the afternoon, but
1t Is getting too warm for even
these affairs. and porch parties in
the morning ore being thought
about.
Despite the rumor to the contrary
people are leaving for other points
than ideal Tulsa, where they will
why those who have beautiful
homes on some OF Tulsa's heights
really leave the city for two or three
months In the summer. An admiiing
glance at these sumptous homes
from the outside and perhaps
knowledge OF the interior of many.
causes question to arise as to the
wisdom OF seeking other places un-
less the homes counterpart in com
forts and climati conditions may
le secured. Not for one moment IL
the subject debatable II the people
are renting summer homes, or stay
ing In hotels, even II these are de
luxe in appointment. Changes of
scene is the reason offered by many
and perhaps they are right. Then
there is the reason offered by many
and perhaps they are right, Then
there Is the pleasure of meeting
people from other places and that
pleasing interchange that comes
with association afforded In coming
In contact with humanity from 9TH
er climcs.
Speaking of Tulsa and the homes
reminds one OF an interesting Wis
itor here lately from the southland.
VINO spent a fortnight with close
relatives In the city. In speaking OF
her delight and interest In the many
things found in Tulsa, she said
They want me TO move to Tulsa"
And tho statement met with a quick
response. How lovely, and OF
course you will come" The visitor.
In her pleasing manner told OF thu
old-fashioned home in the quiet
town In which she lived which mean
so much in the way of home and it,
true Interpretation TO her. She told
of how she personally tended TO the
planting OF the flower garden each
season, as well as the vegetable gar
den In tho rear: of her fruit trees
that yearly gave into her keeping
lovely fruits which mean much to
her pantry shelf; of the pretty sid
porch with the sweet honeysuckle
: each spring and how she loved to
watch the small fcathered family
grow. you know" she said, THAT
Is home and / am at that milestone
in life whore / do not think l can
be transplanted and really, l do
not think l ever can expect to be
happy elsewhere" Needless to say
at this time, the little southern
mother is back in her pretty home
and enjoying everything this home
offers. Those are the homes that the
past generation enjoyed, but how
Few OF this one can say as much un-
less some mother and father like
the one mentioned, Is thinking of a
home like this where the boy and
the girl in the family may turn when
the call of mother and home comes

and pureness has wonderful ten

q the rearing given them within its

humanity as well as the practical
demand for foodstuffs for America,
but g keep the home fires burning
is Just as necessary. And 1t Is a fine
thing In the life Of family to think
of the one home that framed an
ideal motheS and where father pre-
sided too. The frequent moving from
ono place to another and from one
home to another will never create
..e sentiment that lives in the heart
of those who remember homo and
what 1t meant to them.
