The air of well-bred society is filled
with prophecies of the coming season
fol- st. Paul. The dainty mOrselS of
gossip so delicately handled in public,
and so eagerly discussed in private, are
sll of an interesting character. They
tell of coming feteS and balls, prospect
i've weddings, betrothals on dit, blush
ing debutantes and whole trunkfulS of
trOusseau and wardrobe direct from
Paris. and this gossip is so charmingly
indirect and So deliciOusly impersonal,
you know, that there can be no harm in
speaking of it to anybody. 1t is told
that at least six young social buds will
this winter expand into full -fiedged
flowers in the genial atmosphere of So
ciety. And it is repeated that the we'll
posted can count nine swell weddings
to be consummated before the holiday
chimes cease their music.
This week just passed has been quite
promising, iii a sense, and the week
ushered in to-day will be even more gay.
The summer by the lake is bearing
q miScheyiOuS boy three months ago,
has developed into full-fiedged Hymen,
with dripping torch and perfect record.
The Weater has been more Suitahle-n0t
for weddings, for with them every sea
son is Summer-fOr social entertain
mentS, and the coming cold wave will
arouse the gay world to sense of the
approaching winter and those social
obligations that must be Cancelled before
the holidays are here
Speaking of weddings and betrOthalS,
1t may be mentioned that many OF the
announcements are premature. For
instance, a postal card is sent to a
newspaper office, and without signature
or clue. announces the engagement of
Miss DeBullion and Mr.. P0dSnap; and
perhaps it is printed, with disastrous
results. A few weeks ago well-knOwn
and responsible gentleman gave paper
the betrOthal of DR.. lpccac and Miss
DeIicatesSen. 1t was published, and
the doctor the next day put on his war
paint, shOuldeTed his surgical case, and
visited the Office. But it was case
where a retraction would be worse than
the original, and so there it had to rest.
