marvellous change In women's life within the
last quarter OF a century. The tournament 40
the Knollwood Country Club has brought to-
Rether all the best woman golfers in the coun-
try, First there was Miss b ratrix IIoyt. who,
with the physique of n child, yields her golanR
clubs like a giant. without coat or hat, with
sleeves rolled to her elbows, and with no Thoughts
for t o unattractlveness of her appearance. she
makes her iron shots, driving clean and rsst,
and her wrist approach 9 with the mashie are
such as not one man in ten could execute.
Miss Hoyt's good form on the links has given
her, perhaps, the prominence which he has
certainly attained moro than her strength Of
arm, but whatever may be the cause, her supo-
riorlty is undisputcd. Mrs. William Shipper
comes next to Miss Hoyt and runs her very
close, and then come Mrs, w. Butler Duncan,
Mrs. f.. c. Potter, Mrs. II. NJ. Hartman, Mrs.
Fellowos Morgan, Miss Costcr, Miss Hunt,
and several others who appeared on the
Knollwood course. with a glance back
at young America thirty years ago, when
compilations were guarded from tho sun
like priceless treasures; whom feet were
incascd in kid or satin slippers and a horseback
ride on o very gentle stecd was esteemed Q
plucky thing to do, 1t seems extraordinary that
the present generation should be the golhng,

ship of men. there Is nothing more to be said.
After golf como weddings, OF course. None or
any interest has taken place in New York. but
the marriage of Miss Emily Parke, daughter OF
Gen. Parke OF Washington, to Mr.. Oracle King
Richards. son Of the late Edgar II. Richards,
and nephew Of the late Oracle King, after whom
no was named, has owed its interest without
doubt to the large connection of Kings. Ducrs.
and Van Rensselacrs to whom Mr.. Richards 10
related. The marriage Of Miss Mamie Lang
horn to Mr.. Robert Shaw, although celebrated
in Albemarle county, Va, brought to-
gethcr a large number of the Myopia and
Boston smart set. Very few New Workers were
present, and the wedding was not a large one.
The bride is surprisingly animated and piquante,
and but for her recent illness would have mado
the occasion a very lively one. 1t was. however,,
q very picturesque and pretty wedding. with an
altar, draped in white Grape and white flowers,
improvised for the occasion, at the end OF a
large drawing room, and n number Of very
pretty people. friends and relatives OF the bride
and bridegroom.
The eight young girls who are to be brides
maids to Miss Sallie Elliot, namely, Miss Sarah
Potter, Miss Lydia Redmond, Miss Ethel Cram.
Miss Louise Dupont. Miss Dora Hoffman, Miss
Alice Elliot, and the Misses Marjorie and
Natalie Elliot, cousins of the bride. will have to
be called early on Thursday morning, in order
to arrive punctually at st. Ignatius's Church in
full bridal array at 10 o'clock. Onl very near
friends know the reason for the early start in
married life. but it is generally supposed that q
sea voyage on the German steamer has some
thing to do with It.
Miss Lydia Eustis, niece of Ar assador EustiS
and cousin OF Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock. Jr, has
decided to give the world [ e benefit Of her
beautiful gift Of song, and will make her first
appearance in Boston on Thursday next, Nov.
4, at an AdRmowski concert. Miss Eustis will
he the guest of Mrs. Robert Cushing while she
remains there.
With the exception of the assemblies, the
Tuesday evening dances, and one or two other
series, whose dates were announced SO long ago
that they are pretty nearly forgotten now, no
announcements have been made of balls, dinner
dances. or even receptions and afternoon teas.
The number OF debrtantes seems to be surpris-
ingly small. Miss Justine Cutting. daughter of
Mrs. W. Bayard Cutting, Miss Fiji Potter,
daughter of Mr.. James Brown Potter, and Miss
Josephine Drexel, daughter of Mr.. Joseph
Drexel. seem to be the only ones whose
debut is at all certain. Miss Dora Have
meyer and Miss Lily Oelrichs might possibly
have come out together this winter-but recent
mourning in the Havemeyer family will. of
course. interfere. Miss Caroline Edgar, dnugh.

but she looks DER young as yet for the final

be Miss Lila Sloane, who was to have been in.
troduced last winter, but the death of Mrs. Van
derbilt prevented.
Changes OF residence have been many this
autumn, and there are several familiar spots
associated with familiar faces which will look
strange to the onlooker with new occupants.

Mr.. F.. S. G. d IInutcville ha- taken Mr.. II Full
ton Cuttings house at ia Fifth avenue. The
house formerly occupied by Mr.. Charles Oelrichs
in Lexington avenue has fallen to the lot of Mr..
and Mrs. Winfield Scott. Mr.. and Mrs. William
r. Travers prefer n country home and have
taken Mrs. Cottenet's pretty cottage at West
bury, and Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., has Mira.
Twins pretty house in Thirty.siNth street.
The custom of taking furnished houses for the
winter and spending the remainder OF the year
In the country is growing every year. The very
wealthy, of course, have castles or palaces In
both places and close one when they open the
other; but the majority who have money enough
to make themselves very comfortable without
spreading out into millionaircs mako their
country houses their homes, and come to a fur
nishcd house in town for the few cold months.
1t is a pleasant way to live, carrying very few
responsibilities with 1t.
The flower show 10 be held at the Astoria on
tho 18th and 18th OF next month promises to bo
n most beautiful exhibition of the gardeners

tercstcd in 1t are Mrs. Aston. Mrs. L. p. Morton,
Mrs. Pierpont Morgan. Mrs. Frederic Bronson,
Mrs. Cottcnct and Mrs. w. d.. Sloane, all Of
whom have greenhouses and Conservatives and
whose gardeners compete with each other in
PRODUCING the rarest and most per ect blooms.
The annual ball at Tuxedo on Friday night
was a very successful affair. and, after the an
noying tasco of tho previous Friday, was inn
mcnscly satisfactory to the gentlemen of tho
Tuxedo Club who have the success of all func-
tions and entertainments at the clubhouse so
much at heart. The autumnal decorations of the
ballroom were most effective. and with the fruits
OF tho earth that were woven in with leaves and
vines gave the effect Of n haryaat hon,a Tactical
