EE An Appeal Will Be Taken by the City to the Supreme Court. Judges Cook, Belcher and Hebbard sat in bank on Friday afternoon to hear the Injunction proceedings brought in the name of the city and county to restrain Auditor Broderick from signing the de- mands of thirty-one copyists, fourteen deputy register clerks and Chief Piper of County Clerk Curry’s office. The suit was brought by City and County Attor- ney Creswell by authorization of the Supervisors, on the complaint of Mayor Phelan that these employes were draw- ing salarfes without warrant of law. The proceedings were dismissed a week ago, with leave to the plaintiff to amend the pleadings. The hearing yesterday was on a demurrer Interposed by the Auditor to the amended pleadings. After a discussicn of the law points in- volved the three Judges sustained the de- murrer and dissolved the temporary in- Jjunction. ‘The representatives of the city and county asked that ahother temporary in- Jjunction be granted pending an appeal to the Supreme Court. That motion was denied, and notice of appeal was at once ed after the pro- glven.

MW PESTIV For S0GIAL SHESON FTER Easter Sunday society will begin to unfold its wings ready to take flight into the country. There will be just one big affc'r during April—the bachelors’ ball at the Palace Hotel. ‘With the coming of the first May blossoms the fashionable world and his wife will hie themselves to green fields and rural delights. Drawn blinds and storm doors will proclaim the family out of town. The time remaining before the ex- odus begins will be divided between the dressmakers, the milliners and shopping. For the summer outing is always more or less a dress-up affair. Last year riding, boating and golf crowded out all other amusements. The hops at the big hotels were dismal failures. Moonlight drives and strolls were preferred to tripping the light fantastic. A social forecast reveals some new phenomena on this summer’s horizon. A light breeze of anglo-maniacism is predicted. It is awaited with pleasure, for it is not the malignant sort, but, to the contrary, promises to be a refresh- ing innovation. The big hotels and fashionable sum- mer resorts are going to be given the cold shoulder. Following the example of our English cousins across the pond, the proper thing will be to spend the summer either at your own ‘place” or to be an invited guest at somebody else’'s “place.” It will be one round of house parties. And the danger of mon- otony is entirely eliminated by the fact that the summer homes are close enough together to make it possible to combine in the jaunts and festivities. Then, too, the limit of a guest's visit will be from one to three weeks, so that there will always be new arrivals te liven things a bit. There is no doubt that this is infin- | itely more enjoyable than hotel life with its innumerable cliques, the sacred inner circle, the cvnosure of those on the outer edges. All these disagreeable drawbacks are responsible for the adoption of the English way of “doing things.” A fine place, a good cook, spirited horses and a hospitable host—these are drawing cards that cannot fail to attract. The much-sought-after guest will be the one who can help the host entertain and suggest ways and means of ban- ishing dull care. With the country homes in such close proximity there will be a spirit of rivalry in getting up affairs that will assure an element of originality. Society has put on its thinking cap and many are th: novel ideas stowed | away that will cause a flutter when they are brought to the light of fulfill- ment. There Is always riding, swim- ming, boating, wheeling and golf to while away the hours with, but the place that would establish for itself the title of peer of entertainers will have to offer its guests something new and decidedly out of the ordinary. That is the delightful part of the innovation. One particularly brilliant suggestion is a cake-walk cotillon. It would be impossible to give one in town, but in the country, where cast-iron restraint is thrown to the winds, it is bound to be the “hit” of the season. At first thought it is hard to understand just how a cake walk could be introduced in a cotillon. But it is not difficult to arrange. The first figure is a “follow your leader” affair. The couples form a line and follow the leaders only in point of direction, each couple intro- ducing individual steps and poses. The grotesque features -# the real cake igs the | Walk are of course left out. Big hats, fans, scarfs and parasols for the girls 4n¢ high collars, stove- pipes and canes for the men are ne- cessary paraphernalia. Guests who do not wish to partici 4 pate form the audience and give the required inspiration to the performers. | Any of the figures the usual co- | | tillon can be worked up for the first | part of the cake-walk cotillon. | A half an hour is enough for this ‘flnd then the real fun begins. Each couple is given three minutes alone on | the floor and the modified gyrations of | the ‘‘real” cake walk are gone through. | It is safer to have practiced before- hand, but there are those who are| equal to it under the inspiration of the moment. The little accessor sug- gest postures that are either pretty or | funny, sometimes both. Each coupla endeavors to do something new and if they have’given it the slightest consia- | eration are sure to be greeted with | shouts of laughter. | For as a cake-walk cotillon it is by | | the amount of mirth produced that the | success of the figure is gauged. After |all have had their turn a short general | figure is executed. With the right sort of people participating the amount of fun to be had out of a cake-walk cotil- lon exceeds calculation. And unlik» any other dance, the audience enjoys it just as much as the dancers. Once they get into the spirit of the thing the couples will not mind doing their individual *“turns,” and even if they | do not relish their own there is the | pleasure of enjoying the attitudes of | the next couple. Every bit of the usual formality is swept away, and if the tide of amusement occasioned does not | reach the high water mark, then mirth | is really dead. A Chinese dinner is another contem- plated novelty. The idea was probably started by the craze for all things Ori- | ental that has taken rooot since the production of the “First Born.” o expense s going to be spared in carry- ing out the novel idea to the minutest detail. The dining room will be decor- ated in a style bedtting a mandarin. A frieze of the curious little heads dis- played in the shops in Chinatown will run all around the room. Fans, gongs, screens and innumera- ble articles picked up in Chinatown will help canvert the room into Oriental | wonderlan The table itself will be a work of art and ingenuity. A roll of the gorgeous red rice paper has been imported from China and will be con- | verted into the table cloth. From the center of the table will rise an im- mense umbrella, depending from which will be lanterns of various shapes and | colors, and the soft light shed by the | candles bringing out the vivid color ef- | fects. The name cards are on rice pa- | per, the name painted both in English | and Chinese, and thrust through one | corner is a minfature chopstick with | the tiny knob of real ivory. The chef who prepares the menu will have the viands as Chinese as is pos- | sible, at the same time making them palatable to the Caucasian palate. The maids who walit at the table will be got up in the correct Chinese style— ulllloes. flowing gown, stiffened halr and all. 3 The finishing touch to it all is to be the music. Just enough real Chinese | discord will be rendered, however, to make the guests appreciate something less characteristic, but more tuneful. The dinner will probably be followed by a travesty on the Chinese play or something of a similar nature. It will certainly be unique enough to cause the oldest diner out to marvel. Out-of-doors entertainments will be very popular.

An entertainment of this sort could be given in the evenine just as well as in the afternoon and would be even more effective. The male members of the family will probably not need much coaxing to be induced to attend a “vaudeville tea.” Altogether th season bids fair to far outshine its sister seasons of former ea se ADVERTISEMENTS.
