NOME, ALASKA, DEC. 22, 1916.
The people of Nome are socially in
clined. fc.spec.ally uui.ng the long
VtiUbtr do t..ej iiiuUige in social in.er
course. It is Uuutmul if another town
oi tue size ol .some in the whole
world has a larger number of social
functions during the season or of a
mure varied character. Not only are
there the large aitairs under the aus
pices of diucient organizations but
there are us well frequent small par
ties mure or less invitational m nature.
There ure several clubs where cards
and dancing are the weekly features.
Then there are frequent impromptu
dances with good rnus.c and a lieutfiy,
pleasant time for all participants,
ilost of these events are chronicled in
the daily press, as they should be, for
they are participated in by a con
siderable part of the public and me
ot interest uui only to those who attend
but to many who do not go. fcivery
bouy hk<_s to know what is going on,
anu u is u part of a paper s business
to record these details of our social
l.fe in so far as facilities are ottered
for doing so. Naturally with a limned
repotonal force the daily paper has
to rely on members of the organiza
tions to furnish the facts necessary to
the ‘•write-up" of all but the larger
affairs, one man, even with nothing
else to do, would be kept busy if he
attempted to attend all the doings in
town from one week’s end to another.
Nevertheless, after a fashion, the
dances, card parties, socials, bezants,
and what not are fairly well reported
from uay to day.
However, there is one part of the so
cial iue oi nuiue that is never men
tioned in the papers and that Is the
huspiialiiy oi the homes. This is one
of the unest of the social activities
and while in a sense it is of a private '
nature U is also oi the greatest in.er- 1
est to all the community. In fact, in '
the silence of the press concerning 1
dinner, card and social parties in
homes Nome is probably without par- ;
allel. In uays gone by the columns i
of the lucui papeis used to be enliv- i
envd by accounia of dinners and other ■
Social happenings of a more or less
personal aim private nature, but which
Weis eagerly read by practically evary
one. in order to print accounts of
these affairs the papers had to rely .
on the hus.s oi hostesses tor 'lie
names of the guests and the main
facts. It was a pleasant custom and
it is unfortunate that it has to be re
fvireu 10 in the past tense. How (he
publication of ugreeable social no'es
ot this soil happened to lapse into
drsue.uue cannot be accounud for by
the present writer. That it has lapsed,
all may know who read the papers
In all cities, towns or villages of
which the writer has knowleuge the
social happenings are more or l^ss
minutesly described in the press. And
they are wi.ueu ubuut because the
people like lb read about them. Not
only is this so, hut the people who
give these parses are usually mora
than willing to piovme the fuels for
social notes in which their homes
figure. And the guests are not averse
to seeing ineir manes in prim—in me
r.giii conipany or course.
One need not spend much time in
the on.ee or the Seattle A'ost-fntelli
g.i.cer tor instance, to see how ’lie
dozens of columns weekly are tilleu
w iiii iu.eres.ing social news. The hour
ly mail brings in announcements ot
tuiure ereins and luu accoums or
things that have passed, one of the
dunes of the social editor is to pare
n n.e s.oi.es 10 proper size. The
telephone uloo brings in soc.al imelii
gcitce ro iqune un • extent. Worn in
g-l out of tneir autos anti drop in on
the sociela) ydnor in a perfectly cas
ual manner but with the determined
purpose not to liuve her last uigm s
dinner party omitted from the Sunday
social page. Men poke their heals
into the sanctum and leave a full
description of a recent party in his
wife’s handwriting. Nobody ever con- i
leases giving anything to the paper '
rbout his or her own party but they !
ail uo give out the tacts just the same,
ueguruless ot what they say they all
want to be mentioned on the social >
page, in fact many a nice party i
which has rcceivtd no mention has
qften been considered of little conse- j
quence because it was not described I
in the puper. Most of all you should
wutch the women of Seattle when the
Sunday paper is la-d on the breakfast i
table. The boy may have the comic j
page, the girl is welcome to the illus
trated section, the man of the house
is free to take the telegraphic stuff
md the sporting section, hut the tna- j
iron and grown daughter have eyes ,
lor nothing at first hut the society
iage. Nor do they stop reading until
•hey read it through in all of us j
wcive or twenty-four columns. And t
»hen they have finished they dream 1
n g.>ing a d.liner party of their own, ;
vith such and such decorations and
io and so for guests.
All of which is .suggested by the ap
iroaching holiday season. There are
0 be scores, many scores of pleasant
1 nner parties on Sunday and Mon Jay
-Christmas eve and Christmas night,
r’lobably not one hostess now pi ins
to give in the list of her guests to this
paper. But there is no reason why
she should not do it. Her guests would
not be pleased at seeing their names
in print especially as her guests. Not
only is this so but those who dine
elsewhere would like to read about
other gatherings of u similar nuluit.
Almost everybody in town will be at
some sort or o.her of social festivity
during Yulelide and a lull dese .p
lion of these various happy g.ith r
.ngs would make inter.st.ng reading
to everybody. And nobody would be
hurt in the least by the publication
of this sort of news. On the other
hand many people would be gratitied.
The social life of ihi3 town, ns of
all other towns, is in the hands of the
matrons and hostesses. They are hid
ing their soc.al l.ght under u bushel
to a certain extent by not having a
social column in this paper. It In up
o tliem whether this darkness con
tinue or wheiher they add to the d1»-is- j
ure ot ex.stence here by seeing to it j
that the press receives some little i
account of their dinners and a lint of
guests who wire piestnt. We are nil
glad to read of the doings of others.
hu want to know who were at Mrs.
Jenkin's party and she and her guests
want to know about your party and
your guests. If the uccounts of all
dinner parties aro printed then every
body will know about everybody else
which is a social desideratum.
