makes up tho drama Of society each
season, there comes time when the
colors are not so bright and inter.
esting. The waning time begins in
late june the brightness is still dim
jn July aid when August days come.
the picture presented is drab, gray,
and lead colored. When Septem-
ber's cool breezes begin 10 blow. they
bring with them the summer wan
dercrs from all corners of the coun-
try. and the immediate impetus is
10 enter the children In local schools
and to send the older ones off to
sthoir respective schools and colleges.
NJ once things take on a 10 iu.. .ur
aspect, but society still slumbers.
Homos begin 10 take on activity and
Tulsa begins to be home again for
It's many thousand Inhabitants who
choose to 30 away every summer,
There will be unusual news for them
this year on their return, II the It'd
Ings have not already reached them
through friends or the press. and
this Is that never In the history Of
Tulsa has II enjoyed such a WONDER
ful summer as this one. with the
exception of a half dozen days and
q less number OF nigh vas exc r.
sive heat been felt. Many Of the
July nights and every one so fat in
August, people have slept under
light blankets, Unusual for Tulsa,
the wonder city OF the United states
where everything good under the sun
Is said bf It except its summer eli
mate, where II has always been said
10 be nearly as torrid with It's heat
waves in summer as Yuma, Arizona.
which stands at the top-notch In
this regard.
Society Is nil as far as Tulsa IS
concerned. The Country club claims
no function, formal or informal, for
It's own. The Elks brought enter
tainment TO Its own on Thursday
night with the very unusual pave
ment dance which was scheduled in
advance as an event to be enjoyed
and which proved no dlsappoint-
ment to the many who attended.
Visitors who supply nc,,rriol
theme for the seasons social diver
sions, especially in the summer time
have received full quota in each
case during the season, and that has
been something to claim. One hears
or two and thfee-table bridge par
ties In the morning on someone's
spacious porch orS~an evening OF
cards or dancing or both, but these
do not always reach chronicling
stage. They happen. but the ma
tured stage. which Is the telling in
society columns, Is never reached.
Is II right 20 say they are "nipped
In the bud?"
Tuisa's club women are distribut-
ing the year books which foretell OF
interesting programs for the coming
season, and this speaks. much for
some summertime work. the devo-
ton of committees, whose mental
acumen and executive ability Is
splendidly exemplifled in these small
pamphlets or books. The charities
have gone on with their faithful
duties all summer. many poor fam
lilies receiving attention from their
hands. The Day Nursery has con-
tlnued TO thrive and is a maRniti-
cent example of the kind OF phllan-
thropic work Tulsa's good women
can do. Interesting along the line
of club life from a national and tn
ternationar standpoint, is the follow
ing article taken from a big western
daily:
