My dear. did have the best tire
last night. So-and So from Dallas
is visiting Mrs. Blank, and Went
with them and two other girls and SIX
of the most attractive army men' out
on a swimming picnic last night. We
had simply a wonderful time-but
please don't mention it. 1t wasn't a
formal party at all-but had the
best time, l ever had in my life.
Society seems 10 be gagged in terms
of the thermometer. If the tempera-
ture rises above 40 degrees one may
have 40 people in 10 play cards-al-
WAYS, of course if one can square IL

and il is not a social event at all.
Perish the thought.
But lust let the temperature slip
below 80 degrees in the fall season
II doesn't seem possible that it ever
will again, but here's hoping-and II

social calender. In society, as in all
other democratic institutions the ma

proved roads over which it is a real
pleasure to travel in reaching them !:
the comfortable summer cottages Oh
Medina Lake, where the fishing. boat
ing, and swimming provides endless
entertainment: the many delightful
swimming pools. both natural and ar.
tificial that abound in and near the
city; and the good roads between here
and the coast, that. this year for tie
first time, make it real pleasure
10 run down to Corpus Christi or
Rockport in ones own car; have all
contributed TO making the time pass
very pleasantly.
Nearly every one who has remained
in San Antonio during the hot weather
has INDUCED in one or more of the de-
lightful means of entertainment men
toned. and. although it may be dis
tinctly questionable to admit it. will
be obliged TO agree that he has had a
very good time indeed.
