Show I Social Saunterings M The village bell wai slowly ringing' Life. fl . The round of teas, receptions, weddings, bridge fl I affairs and almost everything else socially seems H ' to have accumulated an impetus that makes a hot 8 day look like the second of January. A half dozen fl weddings, three big teas and receptions, and in- H numerable smaller parties, have kept everyone on fl the go since Monday, and the announcements for fl. the coming week show no indications of the sea- fl son breaking up until mid-summer. fl One bt. is to hear of Brighton, California, and B the sea shore here and there, however, and there'll Br be a sudden exodus one of these days that will K land the social barque high and dry on the beach B for the summer. Brighton, by the way, gives 9j promise of some lively times toward the close of H July. The regulars are all going up and half a fl dozen new cottages are under way. jfl & & & V The talk of a breach of promise suit has fl quieted down until you scarcely hear a word of it B any more and things seem sailing along serenely fl I enough. Si & .3 J fl, Which brings to mind the fact that a Seattle B woman has just brought suit against a tele- B i graph company for $20,000 damages because it B failed to deliver an important message from an fl j ardent admirer whereby she lost a very rich hus- fl band. The young lady deserves substantial recog- B j nition. She has opened a new field to those of fl her persistent sigtorhood who fall to connect with fl a bank account by the breach of promise, damaged fl j affections, alimony and compromise routes. fl O1 W fc? fl As beautifully appointed an affair as we have fl had this year was the charming tea and reception fl i - at the McMillan home on Brigham Street on Teus-day Teus-day afternoon, when Mrs. McMillan and her daughters, the Misses Bess and Mildred McMillan, received about 125 of their friends. Roses formed the decorations and the rooms were beautiful. The parlors and library were in red and the dining room in pink and white.
