Slams of the Times

Ideal summer weather in Tulsa for
June and nearly all OF July has on
hanced the enjoyment OF the stay-at-
homes who have INDUCED themselves
to the utmost In the comforts found
en- their own verandas: at local
parks and at nearby resorts. A
plunge In the limpid waters of in
door pools has taken the place OF
bathing at seaside, others have en-
jtyed bathing at outdoor places near
Tulsa that are desirable. or course
these splashes do not feature any
such forgery as is seen on the At
lantic or Pacific coast at bathing
resorts. but they satisfy the desire
20 swim. Motoring around Tulsa is
the chief amusement and the roads
are especially good now. Most every
one that enjoys this pleasure about
town now, takes spin along the
Sand Springs road before they turn
IN, .,he winding of the smooth road
hlotg the banks OF the Arkansas
with wooded glades most all the way
for several miles, proving a panacea
after the heat Of pavement and tall
buildings In the city. one reads
much of socity going In for air
riding these days. but the fad has not
reached Tulsa az yet. OF course
the first flight has been taken by
any number. but the event has not
ben followed by other amusement
flights just for the pleasure OF riding
high among the clouds. They tell
Of standardized and safe meth DDS
having been reached so as to assure
one lerfect safety ir the air. but
the custom Of riding In the ether has
not yet become so much a part OF
eres pleasures In life that the expert
ence OF many is that they relax and
Just mildly and casually look out on
turquoise sky and milky clouds and
below to the checker-board effect
made by towns and cities on the
smooth green landscape below No,
It is yet too early in the game to talk
that way.
Tulsa is depopulated now, as far
as those who make the wheels of
rociety move along day after day.
Many members OF the younger set
even have gone with parents and
friends and only few are at home
10 a.'end informal dances or the out
ing referred to briefly in social
columns. The dearth has been felt
much more than usual, because the
cool weather has, inspired quite
number to do things. not much OF
a guest list can be made. This has

lowing the custom OF previous years
the clans have made reservations
early at their preferred places afar
and as soon as schol closed, left TO
spend the heated term. August will
be characterized with no special en-
tertainment and in September. peo-
RE will return home, that Is, those
VINO have children to send off to
colleges and those who will have
smaller ones to enter the schools
here, BY October all the homes will
take on life again and the usual ac-

things.
rho attention OF the Tulsa public
Is called to the charity ball to be
given in Convention hall on the night
OF Wednesday Jnly 2s, which Is to
gather funds TO make more compart-
able the lives OF the poor children
during the insUfferable days or

Homes that are bcreft or actual
comforts. homes where the milk

daily visit unless the Humane society
