Fine eutumnaI weather the last week
tempted the social reveiers out of doors
Golf has had remarkable innings. and the
suburban railway stations have presented
really picturesque appearances tate IN inc
afternoon with the returning golf coats anu
young women laden with plaid bags ana
clubs.
Yesterdays polo match at the Country
Club was perhaps the event of the week,
bringing both St. Louis and Chicago people
out to the grounds. The Field Club. too. has
been popular. to say nothing OF the torest
Park links, where ~well-known young women
make a practice OF going almost daily. es-
pecially in the early morning hours.
The marked interest that IS being shown
this fall in semiliterary pursuits. partfcu-
larry the study Of languages. among society
people points decisively to a change In the
atmosphere OF St. Louis entertainments
perhaps not within the next six months.
but certainly by another season. Young
women who have left their school days be-
hind for one. two or even a greater NUMBER
of years are forming classes-aiway con-
genial f~riends-for the study Of Italian.
Spanish and particularly French. Most OF
them had a smatterins In their finishing
school days. but this time n Is with maturer
purposes that they propose to work.
French plays are being discussed. This
may bring about q revival Of tho old
Dramatic Club. which has peacefully sium-
bered for two seasons. and since the de-
parture Of Mrs. Z. Hope Norton-in ORA
matte Club days Miss Carr-from Its ranks
has almost been forgotten.
But the language fad SO vigorously on al
present IL certain to produce results In the
way Of French evenings, semisalons and the
like that will be a welcome change from
the everlasting cards and at least give
something new as conversation topics.
Mrs. George Castleman and Miss Postie-
waite have written to st. Louis friends that
they do not expect to complete their Euro
! pean wanderings until the beginning OF win
ter and thai they will not sail for home I'm
; til early December. The big Lindell boule'
ward house Is tightly closed these days and
presents q gloomy front to the passer-by
| By the way, this mansion Is declared by ex
perts to be the most perfectly equipped II
St. Louis in the matter of electrical applt
ances. Electricity has been employed Il
| tighten the labor Of housekeeping amazing
| ly, and by the mere pressure Of q buttoX
many q domestic trial is obviated.
1 Mrs. Castleman's friends are anxious Il
! get a glimpse of her new miniature. painted
this summer by Amelia Kussner. who is nj
longer Amelia Kussner, by the way. Thu
miniature was painted from a strikingi!
lifelike photograph taken by q st. Loui
photographer Just prior to Mrs. Castieman'
departure for Europe. Set in Jewels. it i
designed for Miss Postlewaite. Whether
is to be a bridal gift or not Is a question
the gossips are eagerly considering.
