Younger Set Meets
Rush Of Early Fall
Season With arties

Members OF the younger social set
in Douglas have been happily busy
this past week with the return of sew
eral of it's members, the announcement
of the engagement Of two popular
Douglas girls, and visiting house guests.
Time has not been heavy on anyone'S
hands this past week.
Each day has had more than one
engagement on the social calendar
Teas, bridge, Slumber parties and
dances. Then this week there is again
a full calendar, a dinner has been
planned for Monday evening, lunch
con for Tuesday, several showers will
honor the brides to be and last, but
not least, ranks the Collegiate hop to
be held at the country club Thursday
evening.
The week following there will be a
university alumni dance, which will be
collegiate in spirit II not in name
Rumor has it that this affair will be
a costume party.
1t would seem that the next few
weeks will be q fitting close to a sum-
mer season. After that the younger
set will think more of amebas and
other such things found between the
pages of a college text book.
Nevertheless, it is a consolation to
the society editor that something is
in the social world as the
early part of the summer was con-
cerned with gatherings of a more
informal nature that were never of
sufficient size to be found in the
society columns.
