BY UNITED PRESS

RALEIGH, Feb. 8 (UP).-The
Hocy administration is setting a
social pace surprising by.a COM
Portable margin at least that Of
the two preceding state regimes
those of Gardner and Ehringhaus.
Teas and evening social affairs,
always springing up with the in
auguration of new adminiStra-
ton, are frequent. Afternoon teas
have been almost daily occur
cnce since the Inauguration and
the list of guests and the enter
tainment provided them indicates
return of good times to the
state.
The expenditure of some of the
hoSteSSeS, however, is so eXtravag-
ant that it is causing comment
among regular residents Of the
Capital City.
Discussion of the refreshments,
the entertainment and the formal
cards inviting guests is a subject
of interest.
One practical minded Raleigh
woman who has seen the whirl of
society for the past several adj
ministrations estimated the cost
of the average tea is higher than
at any time within the past sew
cral administrations estimated the
cost of the average tea is higher
than at any time within the past
eight years.
She cited engraved invitations
sent to approximately 400 women
guests, elaborate floral decora-
tions and overlooking tables--not
to mention an orchestra that play
ed quietly in one corner of the
room--to run upwards of $500.
Her estimate, others said, was too
conservative. -
The manner of honored guests
in receiving introductionS also is
causing some comment here.
"Why, d have never been to a
tea before where the ladies pull
you through the line and where
they spend so little time in visit
ing with the guests" said one ma
iron.
The woman. guest at a tea
where the invitation list approx
mated 400 persons, said she arriv-
ed at the party shortly after 5
o'clock. More than an hour later
she joined the group around the
tables. In the interim she had
stood in line waiting to be intro
duced to the hostess and her hon
ored guests and in moving from
the room where the guests were
received to an adjoining room
where refreshments were served.
To keep up with the social ac-
tivities is arduouS on the society
editors here. Their columns daily
carry long lists Of honored guests
and out-of-town visitors attending
the teas.
But the hostesses are not the
only ones feeling the strain of the
social season, made more difficult
because Of unreasonable rains.
The corps of honored guests at
the various affairs-and many of
them are named to serve tea or be
in the receiving line at more than
one or two affairs within a week
are feeling the brunt.
