vacation. Everyone who can get away
is away, and those who have remain
ed at home are spending their time in
hammocks or on side piazzas, and are
invisible to the world at large. The
pretty girls are alternating, and when
the winter season opens will emerge
with beautiful compilations and with
a restful summer behind them enabling
them to stand the wear and tear of the
season. BY all counts August is an off
month; even the Oldest inhabitant
takes d vacation and few are the IA
miliar faces to be seen on the streets
or at the theater. Gloom, or perhaps
it would be better to say apathy, has
descended upon the Country club, as
even its best golfers have recently
been defeated, and these warmest days
find only the most enthusiastic lovers
of the sport on the links.

The death Of Mrs. Worley recently
in Connecticut brought back the mem
Org of other times and days to the old
timers of St. Paul society," For many
years Mrs. Morley was dressmaker ia
ordinary to society here, and not a
debutante, not a bride, not a matron of
any position, but spent much of her
life behind the closed doors of Mrs
Worley's establishment. Mrs. Worley
not only made their gowns, but dress
ed the debutanteS and the brides and
few were launched into society or
matrimOny without her critical sur
vey. Mrs. Morley was an excellent
woman, whom everyone respected and
liked, and her place here was so UNIQUE
that it has never been really filed
since she gave up business and retir-
ed to private life.
