HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK—MOVEMENTS
OF PEOPLE YOU KNOW.
(All'items of social and personal nature will please be sent to 924 Columbus street.
Telephone Artesia 167. No items received later than 9 o’clock Saturday morning, and to insure
attention, should be received Friday.)
THIS Clipping from Saturday’s Review,
in notes from Houston,
mentions one of the numerous compliments
paid one of Waco’s young ladies,
during her visit to Houston:
Miss Seeligson of Cuero and Miss
Plunkett of Waco were signalled at
marks of special attention by Major
Spencer Hutchins Monday evening,
when he gave a theatre party at the
Auditorium,at which they were guests
of honor. Very pretty programs, with
“A Summer’s Evening” inscribed on
the front, were given the guests, and
on the inner side was given the cast,
presenting “A Black Flag.” After the
performance the chairs were cleared
away and dancing was in order. Major
Hutchins led the cotilion. After
which the party went to the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Norman Meldrum,where
supper was served.
§§
One of the first things that Americans
admitted into the family life
of the English gentry notice is the
graceful and simple interchange of
hospitality, with no sign of “fuss,”
nor yet of “feathers.” Nearly all
English women ride the wheel, not so
much for the mere pleasure of riding
as for the convenience. Country
homes are far apart, but distances do
not seem to count, and every pleasant
afternoon one is sure to see a party of
ladies on their way to call on some
friends. A light tea, consisting of
sandwiches and tea cakes, is served
each afternoon with “the cup that
cheers” on the lawn or in the drawing
room of every house, and callers have
the privilege of taking any guests
they may happen to have staying with
them without the formality of waiting
for a call or a special invitation. Bicycle
skirts are worn much longer
there than here, so that they are in no
way noticeable when the rider is off
her wheel. As every large house has
a retinue of servants, thoroughly
trained, the hostess has not the slightest
anxiety lest her guests be neglected.
A maid is always at hand to do
what she may for the comfort of the
guests. Three men serve at a dinner
for twelve, and two are at hand to
meet guests at the door, one to open
it and the other to make the an 
nouncement in the drawing room.
Cards are not used unless the hostess
is not at home.
§§
Mrs. Collier of South Fifth street had
a lovely little crowd of children on
her lawn Wednesday afternoon. They
engaged in the usual diversions of a
lawn party, with something tempting
for refreshments. When the reporter
passed, the merry troop was arranging
for a kodak view—of course, all
faces were wreathed in smiles.
The lawn had been provided with a
new croquet set, the trees with swings
and hammocks, the gallery with lawn
seats, the dining room, Ah! with all
the sweets that make glad the heart
of the average youngster. For more
than two hours joy held high carnival
in the hearts of little Clay tie May’s
guests, and she retains many little
souvenirs to recall to her the joyous
anniversary of her birth, which was
shared by sixteen of her little friends.
§§
Last Tuesday’s dinner, given by Mrs.
Wm. Sleeper to Miss Jessie Andrews
of Austin, was a pretty token of ap 
preciation. It being the Fourth of
July, the decorations were simple and
appropriate in the national colors of
red, white and blue. The floral center
piece bore the same distinguishing
features. Each souvenir card contained
a patriotic couplet, garnished
with narrow streamers of red, white
and blue. The gathering was characterized
by a predominance of youthful
spirits, flow of wit and congeniality.
Misses Jessie Andrews, Mary Lou
Prather, Ada Risher, Lettellier, Gribble,
West and Taylor were the guests.
§§
The Higginson parlors were invaded
by a number of young people Tuesday
evening, where mirth, youth, music,
and a good time generally prevailed.
§§
Miss Zimmie Watson who has left
no stone unturned will entertain one of
the swellest house parties the seas on
has afforded, in Marlin the coming
week. Misses Gresham and Shannon
of Galveston, Mary Taylor, with the
young ladies of the family form the
circle. Young gentlemen from Dallas,
Ft. Worth, Galveston and Houston
will join them at intervals while the
party lasts—it will be recherche in every
appointment.
Mr. and Mrs Will Neal chaperoned
a party out to the Auditorium on Monday
evening. Miss Downs and Mr.
Connally, Miss Caroline Baker and
Mr Stroude, Miss Geraldine Garland
and Mr. Flaherty, Miss Francis Baker
and Mr. C. Irwin, were the components
of this merry crew. Miss Francis
Baker treated them to a royal posttheater
supper at her hospitable borne
on Austin.
§§
Miss Eva Westbrook will entertain
a house party at her residence near
Lorena quite soon, composed of Misses
Agnes Gannon and Nita Barton of
Dallas, Alese Gibbon of Hpuston, Sallie
Robertson and Mary Taylor of
Waco, with frequent visits from the
young men of other localities. It
promises to be an enjoyable affair.
On Tuesday evening West End was
the rendezvous again of twentyfive
couples chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. T.
N. McMullen, with Mr. and Mrs. Hallpike.
Mr. Ernest Shumate led the figures
with Miss Josie McLennan. The
moonlight and charming evenings
have prompted the young people to
score many pleasant gatherings at
West End.
§§
Miss Lucile Carter entertained quite
informally Thursday afternoon about
thirty young ladies at a Progressive
Angling party. Many present had
just returned from school and entered
into the game with much relish, having
been denied such pleasures during
their absence. The tables were arranged
at chatty intervals in the parlors,
and the happy hours sped lightly
amid mirth and laughter. Ices were
served at the close of the game.
§§
The Basket Ball team had a very
exciting game on Wednesday afternoon
out at Glen Katherine. Mrs. C.
C. Conger as referee, pronounced the
Reds the winners. This promises fine
sport for winter as well as summer,
and has gone into a permanent organ 
ization.
Mrs. B. C. Smith of South Fourth
street entertained at a handsomely
appointed dinner on Friday. Covers
were laid for eight and several courses
were served.
HENRY BERGrH.
There is no question but what the
late Henry Bergh of New York city
was the whole movement of the society
for the prevention of cruelty to
animals individualized. He framed
the first law ever enacted in this country
for the protection of animals, by
which he provided that “every person
who shall by his act or neglect, maliciously
kill, maim, wound, injure torture,
or cruelly beat any horse, mule,
cow, cattle, sheep, or other animal,
belonging to himself or another, shall
upon conviction, be adjudged guilty
of a misdemeanor.”
He then went about the work of
practically forcing the issue, and
though others aided, he was the spirit
of the thing, the one force back of
the institution. His first plan was to
educate the people ana rouse the publie
and private conscience; second, to
procure sufficient legislation; third, to
extend the influence of this society
throughout the state, the world, but
more particularly on the American
continent; fourth, to establish the society
on a strong and permanent basis
—he accomplished all of this.
The firm of Goggan Bros, has sent
Artesia complimentary numbers of
several new pieces of music. “Mr.
Coon Yon’se Too Black For Me” has
quite a musical and catchy air, and
the “Soldier’s Return Polka” is in excellent
time, and well adapted to beginners.
The other numbers are the
popular coon songs which are quite
the fad.
