WEEK DEVOID or NOTEWORTHY THINGS
Knowing ones Find Occasion for
Whispered Conversation In a Mild
Filtration that Has since
Been Checked.

n possible. last week was even more I'M
eventful than the week previous, but So
ciety. what there is left OF II, has gotten
used TO that this summer and appreciates
small things. Out at the Country club the
list OF girls has dwindled down until by
the close OF the week It will not exceed
half a dozen, which state Of affairs prom
ises, or at least should promise. something
interesting, considering that most of the
young men are still here.
II was the ball game by all odds that
took first place in fashionable interest last
week and the Monday game saw the larg-
est, most enthusiastic gathering that has
assembled for soms time. 1t has been
years, not since the days of the old st.
Marys avenue grounds, in fact, since the
women have taken such an interest In the
game, and for the last month the Monday
and Friday games have attracted an al
most equal attendance Of men and women.
: There has been a quiet little Irritation
going on out at the Country club and, in
fact, everywhere else where society has
assembled in numbers, for several months
past. To be sure, there is nothing es-
pecially unusual or startling In this fact,
as society Is prone to that sort Of thing,
and privileged, likewise, but it sometimes
happens that a dearth Of other things In
terestlng, together with some unusual
feature, lends to an affair Of this kind an
interest even for society, and this happens
20 be one Of those cases. In fact, society
has only recently made the discovery that
1t ia really a Irritation and hat makes it
all the more interesting. She is from out
of town and a comparatively recent acqui-
sition to the list Of charming young ma
irons that are Just beginning to be eligible
as chaperones. He is of that set that the
blase and some Of the other experienced
ones have so uncharitably dubbed the
''Rindergarteners." They met two years
ago, when she had a younger sister visit
ing her. She has been kind" to him since
and he has been "one Of her boys" and
that has been all there was to It until re-
Gently, when some one, one Of the expert
snced ones, discovered symptoms that re-
minded him OF a time when he needed
ADVICE and since then society individu-
ally and in groups has done its duty to
such an extent that she is not speaking to
some of her foymer friends, while he, poor
boy, is growing a mustache.
The week at the Field club began with
