SOCIETY NOTES
LIFE'S HAZY WHIRL
Society folic are taking only languid
interest In the functions, which
are not numerous enough to be weari
some, but the June days are too warm
for one to be enthusiastic over any
thing. However, there have been some
pretty affairs given this week, pre
dominant being that by Mrs. Thomp
son and Mrs. Johnson. The high school
students have been having reunions
and lit homes, and tonight they will
give their alumni banquet Next week
belongs to the university.
Mrs. Callcn Thompson and Mrs.
Kalph E. Johnson gave a very pretty
informal reception Tuesday morning at
Mrs. Thompson's home In honor of
Mrs. Henry P. Eames, who left with
her husband on Thursday for Europe,
to be absent fifteen months. Mrs.
Thompson's home, with Its airy rooms
and large lawn, is an ideal place for
a summer party, and the dainty gowns,
of many colors, worn by the guests
added to the plcturesqueness of the
scene. The decorations were elabor
ate. Pink roses and palms were In
the drawing room, red roses adorned
the library, and the dining room was
in green and white. The walls of the
dining room were festooned with ever
greens and a bouquet of white roses
in a tall cut glass vase, reproduced In
a silver rimmed mirror, made an ef
fective centrepiece for the table. A
spring luncheon was served by Mes
dames S. H. Atwood T. I. Lyon, W.
B. Ogden, Mark Woods, J. F. Stevens,
J. H. Gleason. Punch was served on
the lawn by Mrs. E. C. Strode, assisted
by Mesdames W. C. Phillips, O. W.
Toevs, Reuben Grubbs and Frank
" TJaddur." The hostesses were assisted
in the drawing room and library by
Mesdames E. P. Savage, R. E. Moore,
A. J. Sawyer, J. H. McMurtry. I. E.

guests. Mrs. Thompson received in a
gown of silk organdie trimmed with
medallions of Valenciennes lace. Mrs.
Johnson wore white organdie with
garnitures of black velvet and chenille.
Mrs. Eames wore blue foulard. It was
with sincere regret that the ladies
bade Mrs. Eames farewell, for during
her residence here she has made a
large circle of friends. She has worked
unselfishly to further the Interests of
the Woman's club, the city improve
ment and the college settlement work,
from all of which she will be missed.
