The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-10-07

leans in London. Instead of her usual
chilliness she is positively cordial. Some
say this change of attitude has been In
sp1red by hint from Edward. At one
or Mrs. Ronald'S parties the duchess
wore a Smoke-colered chiffon that in
terested the American guests The
chiffon was in graduating shades, and
from dull gray the material paled
into pure white. With this gown the
duchess wore white toque with a gray
plume. She had a string of pearls
and wore large earrings.
Now that Mrs. E. Moore Robinson
has become a high priestess of the
fashionable set she Is yearning for
other worlds to conquer. She has en-
tertained Mrs. Astor at luncheon, and
this is more convinving proof of posi-
ton than being a guest of the leader.
Mrs. Aston lets herself be entertained
only by women she admires sincerely
But rumor says Mrs. e. Moore Robin
son is going to leave Newport and the
giddy set and establish herself in Lon
don. A woman as pretty as she is
bound to be success wherever she
goes. Her blond beauty carried every
thing before her when she and Mrs
William e. Carter, her sister, first went
to Newport. The men raVed over the
handsome sisters, and the women were
simply forced to invite them every
where. This admiration proved lasting,
and these Philadelphians are among
the most popular matrons in society.
The Robinsons are not rich. Mrs.
Robinson, as Miss Ailene Ivers. was
beautiful and we'll connected, but she
had no wealth. The Robinsons practi-
cally live on the generous allowance
from Mr.. RobinSon'S mother. Mrs. J.
Hood Wright. Mrs. Wright lives in
No. GLIB Fifth avenue with her daughter,
Miss Elizabeth, and an unmarried sis
ter. Mrs. Wright will come into
large fortune, but for all that she is
not prominent in society.
Dust was swept out of the Pro-
fessional Women's league head
quarters last week and the
sisters gathered on last Mon
day and had a cheerful afternoon. All
the old favorites were present from
venerable Louisa Eldridge to the en- /.
ticing Truly Shattuck. There were tea,
addresses and gossip, and, as the pro-
vincial papers say, "a good time was
had by ALL" The energetic entertain
ment committee tried to capture
Charles Hawtrey. A delegation of the
handsomer members was sent to in
VIE HILL but the LONDON actor has
heard of the embarrassment lone
man suffers in such surroundings, and
he declined. When Mr. Hawtrey
| proved too busy rehearsing," the
| leaguers invited Miss Fanny Brugh.
| She proved a charming guest.
All roads in Westchester county will
lead this week to Ardsley Towers.
| Where Mrs. Edwin Gould's home will
! be the place of charity concert. Ards
| ley Towers is a huge dwelling and VIII
| accommodate the many women who
will go more to see the interior anC
rub shoulders with some of the Goulds
than to help along the crippled chill

parties are great schemes, and tickets
for this one are going like hot cakes.

in-law, Miss Helen M. Gould. will he
