LOVE Is the cost of living. Pay it and go your way. Ixjvo Is the cost of the bloomy place of rest at the end nf day. Love Is the cost of living. Beggar and thief and king Pay It for life thut Is all of life, the true and the only thing. LOVE Is the cost of living. The green girt hills are thine. The low, sweet ale with tho bird and bloom, the bough and the tangled vine; The murmur of many waters, the cool of tho calm, erao wood, The wldo domain of the simple field'), with their noble and quiet good. and only love's servlco can buy The day by day of the tender way that leads to n starry sky; That leads to the toil at morning and homo to the sweet, sweet night, "With dream and rest on n faithful breast till the rose dawn blooms In light. Unidentified. T IS SWEBT to do nothing." This is the sentiment that pervaded Coos Day society tho past week. While It has not been entirely "do nothing," a few, but very few events looming up like an oasis in the desert, it has been quiet. Small house parties at summer homes or camping excursions have put Dame Society almost utterly to rout. The summer season has caused the usual exodus fiom tho city. Mother and the children (tho fortunate ones) have gono with all the equip ments for a good time. Father and the boys go out at tho end of tho week, coming back for work Sun day night or Monday morning. The cool placo by Ten Mile, the beach or Coos River, where mother is, looms tip before tho labors many times be tween Monday and Saturday, and father grumbles at tho restaurant or pick-up meal. Tho boys, too, find the hours long, and though it Is not always mother's face that looks back at them, yet It is to tho lako, river side or beach that their thoughts travel faster than tho speed of light. Hut while these unbroken circles gather for, at least, part of the sea son's outing, thoro nre many whose dear ones are too far away to Join them In tho long walks, tho boating and bathing, or tho fun around the evening campflie. And to this, good company, a little tenuis, boats and bathing, and tho most ambitious worker will acknowledge that there Is a tlmo when "It is sweet to do no thing." Hut this is drifting away from the soulal i onl in and wore It not for the danger of getting too far awny it might not bo amiss that it is a won der that golf has not boon taken up as a fad on Coos Hay. Thero nre ninny to whom fishing and hunting holds forth no nlluromonts and while sonio dllllculty might bo encountered In laying out n course, thoro are suf ficient hazards to make skill and proficiency In driving worth while. However, to go back to tho begin ning, with ".Mother" and tho "girls" away, who expects much In a soclnl way? After all, who Is It that makes society? It isn't tho occasional bunches of good follows who gather together horo or thoro now and thou. It's tho gathorlngs In tho afternoon or evening when tho deep volco denoting malo persuasion is seldom heard but whoro tho owner of same Is an nttouttvo listener at tho tlmo be ing or shortly aftorwards. What do they all amount to excopt tho realiza tion of tho discussion afterwards, the expression of observances whoro even tho thrill of tho present Impression Is dliiungd by Jho expectancy of the fu: && able season that marks almost overy locality on the faco of civilization. Society doesn't get a long rest, just a brief respite after which She reigns with even greater supremacy than before. The little house pnrties or vacation guests seo to it that she is not lost sight of altogether despite the declaration of "Mother" and the "girls" that they nre getting away from everything. Who will grudge It to them? 'TIs but a moment until it starts afresh with Dame Fashion adding to the demands of Dame So ciety for a season gayer and more exacting than before. Mrs. Henry Sengstacken enter tained informally Thursday afternoon In honor of her girlhood and college "chum," MIbs Porter of Los Angeles, who Is spending the summer with her and her sister, Mrs. Pollexfen of San Francisco, who is spending a few weoks on the Bay. The home was tastily decorated. Tassel wood and huckleberry being used with an ar tistic effect. During the afternoon, Mrs. J. W. Ingram contributed to the pleasure with n few local selections. These were supplemented by some pleasing gramophone pieces. Deli cious lefreshments were sered. A score or more Indies enjoyed Mrs. Songstacken's hospitality. Tho after noon was one of the first of several o be given for the guests of honor during their stay on Coos Bay. Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Simpson of Xorth Bend, have been hostesses to a number ot informal little parties it their beautiful new summer home, "Shore Acres" at Sunset Bay during the week. Mrs. R. G. Gale of Xorth Bend, who underwent an operation during the week is getting along very nicely, which will be gratifying news to her numerous friends who feaied they might be compelled to mlbs her vlva- citj from social doings for some time. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Blake, who have been spending the past month at Mr. Blake's old home in Spokane, have written that they will return o Coos Bay about August 4th. Mrs. J. T. McCormac and son, Fred, and Mrs. Fannie Hazard who have been spending the past ten days in Portland and vicinity and also at ending tho Degree of Honor conven tio are expected homo today or the first of next week. Miss Elizabeth Kaufman and her guest, Miss Bowler of Boston, have gone to Ten Mile where they will en !oy a short outing on Miss Mamie Mnhoney's ranch. Miss Mahoney is ilso entertaining several other guests theie for a few weeks. Miss Florence Heavrcn of Vancou ver, Is In the city visiting nt the home of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. I. W. Suover. A launch party com plimentary to Miss Heavren will be given tomorrow. Accoullng to gossip, tho nuptials of a well-known young Coos Bny man and an Iowa young woman who has boon at Ten Mile for tho past year, will shortly bo announced. Tho first murmurs came as a decided surprise but friends hnve accopted It as true oven though thero has been no direct confirmation of it. Mrs. P. nelchert left on tho Plant to visit rolatlves In San Francisco and Southern California. CONTRIBUTIONS concerning social happenings, intended for publication In tho society depart ment of The Times, must bo sub mitted to tho editor not later thnn 6 o'clock p. m. Friday of each week. Exceptions will be allowed only In cases where events occur later than the time mentioned.) turo expression. Hut aftor all, tho summer season is rnthor short, even on Coos Bay -which has uo hot, almost uueudur- Mrs. A. L. Houseworth and Mrs. L. R. Robertson and children aro spend ing a few weoks at Ten Mile. Tho Baptist Sunday School excur sion to Charleston Bay, yesterday, proved to bo a most enjoyable event to tho largo number present. Tho picnickers arrived nt tholr destina tion between 10 nnd 11 o'clock in tho morning nnd although thero was tjiilto n heavy fog at times, thoro was a noticeable abbonco oftho north west wind which Is so common at this sousoif of" TlTo yonr. After all the members of tho party had' par taken of n sumptuous dinner In a shady nook uloug tho shore of tho Bay, a portion of the crowd jour neyed through the sands across to the lighthouse and Sunset Bay, and upon their return reported having had a very pleasant trip. The re mainder of the crowd spent a few hours strolling along the beach and climbing over the huge rocks, unti' about the middle of the afternoon when they who were prepared for the occasion, laid aside their heavier wearing apparel and donned their bathing suits for a couple hours splash In tho Invigorating breakers along the bay; then, after complet ing these laborious enjoyments, re turned to the lunch baskets which were soon made to look slim by the ravenous nppetltes which can only be obtained by breathing the salty atmosphere of the Pacific. After a period of rest and pleasant conver sation, all were splendidly entertain ed for a time by some of the younger I members of the party 'and especial ly by recitation given by little Miss Anna Downs. About 5 o'clock, they began the journey homewaul where they arrived an hour and a half later. All expressed themselves more than delighted with the pleas ant trip.
