Heap of Opportunities for
Enjoying Thtmarlrri,
Last week nw the first o( the reilly large
out-of-door affaire In the lawn fate given on
Tuesday evening by Mr. and Mrs. Charles
T. Kountze, for one of the visiting young
women, the evening proving such a success
that the popularity of the lan. porch and
garden party seem to be established for
the summer. With the opening of the
Country and Field clubs, this charming va
riety of summer entertainment has nearly
been absorbed by the many attractions that
make up the life, and doings of those In
stitutions, the very nature of the places
necessarily retatnlng them popular, for en
tertaining there does relieve a hostess of
to much responsibility and bother, but after
all there are things about entertaining at
a country club that outweigh even the
- responsibility of the material details and
the privilege of gathering about one just
those whom on really wants, that Is, so
far as society ever enjoys that privilege
is uch a comfort. And then lawn parties
are always such satisfactory things, that Is,
If the weather Is fine or even halt way
ao, for they admit of such a departure from
the conventionalities. To begin with, there
Is no danger of a cruBh for what hos
tesa would over crowd her yard, and then
there Is not only room, but a place for
everybody and their fads.
The woman who loves frills and attitudes
Is really necessary to complete the effect
of certain corners of every veranda and
lawn that nothlngelae In the whole list
of out-of-door settings could accomplish
she and the languid man and of course, no
one would expect her to engage In those
things that attract the girl, who, for rea
sons best known to herself, prefers whiis
muslin and simple dimities or some other
more or less intricate gown that admits
of Its wearer's moving about freely and of
other peoples doing likewise.
And then, It fairly abounds In possibili
ties for those very young men and the older
ones they would Imitate, to whom there Is
nothing new or Interesting under the suu.
. There is so much room to walk about-
alone and look Impressively solitary.
But the Informality of the affair Is what
chiefly commends It to the majority, the
Informality and cxcluslvenesa of It, and It
Is probable that among the young people
at least, the lawn fete will retain a pop
ular place all season.
The formal opening of the aeanon at the
Field club was a gala occasion. Indeed, and
marked by a large attendance of those in
terested In various contests of the after
noon among them being many who have this
year transferred their membership from the
Country club. For those not Interested In
the out-of-door program, there was dancing,
Indoors or conversation parties on the var
nda. The feature of the evening wasthe
Informal dance which was largely attended,
the afternoon's crowd being supplemented
by thosi unable to come oufc intll after
business hovs. Socially, th.4 opening was

And now we are beginning to hear of

seem that the judgment of an overwhelm
ing majority of the recognised strongest
woman's organization of the world regard
ing the expediency of such an action, not
to speak of the opinions of the colored
educators and leaders who have done most
for their race, might have some weight
with these women, but as it appears to
have none, the General Federation Is doubt
less to be congratulated that these inde
pendent thinkers deferred making their ap
plication for membership until after this
decision had been made.
