= —— (o By MELLIFICIA. Thursday, July 22, 1915. HE summer seems to be quite in keeping with the quiet winter, and the still more quiet springtime, in that there is an absolute dirth I of amusements for soclety folk. Time was when the season strefched Itself to include the en- tire part of June and the early days of July, at least over Independence day, but there has been no such spirit this year and except for the flurry of festivities for a few visitors and the plans of the debutantes for next au tumn, even the aspect of the fashionable world would be nil. The amusement of today is just the very smallest picnic party. Even that is given no thought, but hurriedly arranged for within an hour’'s time, Today's event of any =ize is the luncheon given at the Happy Hollow club by the Misses Alice Rushton, Helen Shepard and Carolyn Holmquist. The guests numbered forty-two and included eight out of town guests, Judson Squires will have guests at din- At Happy Hollow. ver Baturday evening at the Country The largest luncheon for the day at club, the Happy Hollow club was that given % by Misses Helen Shepard, Alice Rushton | :’h:t":vlf‘::“rtfl‘::‘z:;zflyfl - :‘:‘n and Carolyn Holmquist.

The twin cities, 8. Paul and Minne- apolls, have ten of these assoclations, Milwaukes has elght, Chicago has nine. In Nebraska there are nine, located as follows: Two in Lincoln, two in Colum« bus and one each in Omaha, Stanton, Talmage, Grand Island and Hustings. i Just for Music.

The organization s free from | the tnternat strifs that marks many other organizations and they have held their saongerfests continuously from 1566 to the present time The first festival was held in La Crosse, Wia, in 185 There were seven singing socleties represented ’ For four years the festivals were held annually instead of blennially as now. It was entirely a Wisconsin organization then, In 1887 the festival was held in Watertown, Wis.: in 158 in Milwaukee and the next year in Madison. By this time tWwenty-two socleties were repre- sented. The rule of biennial saengerfests was adopted in 195 and continues to this time. The first saengerfest held outside of Wisconsin was at Dubuque, Ja., in 1578 Bince then they have been held In various states of the west. Here Five Years Ago.
