hast week? The element in question,
has been doing just nothing at all, with
the exception of Mrs. w. j. c. Ken
yon's farewell at home, Mrs. d. A. Mon
forts luncheon ard Mrs. and the Misses
McClellan's reception. The absence
from town, of the majority of society
people, is partly responsible for the de-
pressed condition of affairs. There hive
been several smaller affairs, luncheons,
picnics and informal euchre parties,
but nothing of an elaborate character.
The coming week does not give
promise of being a brilliant one, al
though several affairs for which in
VitatiOns are already out, will aid IN
reviving society a trifie.
The week in church circles, however,
has not been dull, as fairs. festivals and
lawn fetes, Of all kinds and discrlp-
tions have broken the mOnotony. Last
week also noted the last of the COM
mencement exercises of the present
year, in the graduating exercises Of the
parochiaI schools.
There has been one important step
taken, which though not strictly In
society, certainly deserves mention in
these columns, as pertaining to women
work and one in which, society, church
and all progressive women are taking
an intense interest, and that is, the
work of improving and identifying st.
Paul, which is to be a part Of the
work of the Monument association.
That the ultimate result of this new
step will be a grand success, is fore
gone conclusion, for the women have
entered into the spirit Of the work, with
,-.a-e- n nor
characterized their work before the G.
A. r. encampment, and which resulted
in such an overwhelming success. A
meeting will be held this week at which
definite plans and arrangements will
be made.
