CIRCLES HAVE VARIOUS WAYS OF
AMUSING THEMSELVES.

permanent fads The passing fads are
far more numerous. Just now n is the
fad of many st Paul society women to
be very athletic In summer, of course,
they golf. In winter they bowl; few
of them skate, most of them walk, and
this last exercise is not confined to the
younger set either. 1t is the fashion,
too, in ST. Paul just now, to be immense
ly learned. You quote Darwin often and
always to the point-if you are one OF
that fortunate fifty. If you are very
coura geouS you refer frequently in the
course of your conversation to Schopen-
hauer. You look at life with wide
open eyes and quite philosophically. You
have no Illusions and as for enthusiasm
well enthusiasm has never been consid-
cred good form in society. Absolute re-
pose is the latest pose, and who shall
say it is not more attractive than most
poses?
Naturally, besides these permanent fads
and passing fads there are the fads of
fashion to be considered. Take, for in
stance, the matter of the arrangement
of that alluring bit of black court plaster
that ever since it was made popular by
a certain French woman OF Indifferent
morals but irreproachable style has called
attention to beauty's best point. Time
was when the black patch graced only the
a white rounded chin. linen 1t moved 10,
and if there was dimple in the cheek
it called attention to its existence But
perhaps the dimpIe degenerated into g.
wrinkle; perhaps beauty grew thin and
dimples went out. The patch took anoth-
er Journey and found a resting place
directly above beauty's right eye,
dusky dot on a blue-veined forehead. It
is here that st. Paul maids and matrons
now wear the alluring bit of court plas
ter, for Dame Fashion has so decreed
that it shall be.
But if one We're to discuss all of this
estimable lady's present fads, she would
need a space allowance that would tax
all the columns of Il h e Globe, so
perhaps it is best to make the black
court plaster that heightens the society
woman's beauty period, and let it go
at that.

EADS OF
= SOCIETY WOMEN

the ''other half are what saves the
young person. generally from degen-
Grating into an anarchist of tte crimson
est variety. Besides there is always that
hope which springs eternal in the Amer
lean breast of one day being ''dulcet
voiced" lady oneself with opportunity
of snubbing that very snubbable indi-
vidual, the wage earning young person.
All this might seem entirely inapropos
had not the writer been assigned the
task of writing up the fads of st. Paul
society women. 1t is by way of an apol-
-ogy for the glittering generalities IN
which she must of necessity indulge.
The writer thoroughly understands that
it is the piquant personalities that are
especially dear to the newspaper readers,
and mostly a st. aul society woman
won't when ii comes to seeing her name
in print but when a woman won't she
won't, so there's an end to 1t. Therefore
she is compelled TO write of fads in gen.
eral. Fads may be divided into two
classes, passing and permanent. The
permanent fads generally take the form
of collections. For instance there is a
st. Paul society Ncman-a bibliophile, in
a way-who has an interesting collection
of weird stories to which she is constant
ly adding. The collection already ILLS a
good sized bookcase in her own particular
den. Some of the stories are hair-raising.
Nearly all nationalities are represented
in the collection and nearly all periods.
Of collectors of odd spoons, odd knives,
forks and other things of the sort there
are a score. Some, who are travellers,
buy one OF these articles in every town
they visit Others, who are stay-at-
homes, prevail on their friends to do
the purchasing for them. 1t is whispered
that one or two point with pride to large
and varied collections of table articles
that were once part of the dining room
stock Of famous cafes all over the coun-
try. One St Paul woman has col
lection of beautiful plates. Among these
is a set off which, it is claimed, Napoleon
was in the habit of dining. 1t Is of deli
cate French ware, and has the royal
IN burnt in the center of each plate.
A youthful society woman, who in spite
of her few years, has Travelled mucn,
has stein collection, one purchase being
made in the various German cities she
has visited.
So much for the collecting fads or the
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-02-02

The fads of st. Paul society women are
as many as the number of women VINO
compose that exclusive Sanity City CO.
terie which has the privilege of spelling
itself in capitals-which number by the
way can only be written in two figures,
the first of which is five and other a
cipher-and they are as interesting as the
individuality of the members of that CO.
terie.
Unfortunately, St Paul society women
are conservative to a remarkable degree.
Somebody has said that conservatism is
another word for narrowness. Here we
are polite and we call it a shrinking
from publicity. There are three times
in a ST. Paul society woman's life when
she has no objection to seeing her name
in print. In two of those cases, birth
and death, objections probably wouldn't
count. for the law is the dictator. The
third is the lady's pet charity. For the
st. Paul society woman is shrewd and
in way she knows as much about bus1-
ness as her wide awake husband.
She understands thoroughly the value Of
advertising. Therefore, if you have a de-
sire to write UP in an interesting way
some entertaining and complimentary
facts concerning her pet charity, my lady
is gracious to a degree If. on the other
hand you seek items" concerning
pink tea'-by the way. why is every
social affair regarded by the masculine
mind in the light of a pink tea?-she
