Today VIII propdply NC SHS
Sunday of the summer Everyone VINO
could get away, went on Friday ana the
lake resort and county hotels are as
full as they can be and many nave peeA
turned away. Even the uncertain and
dangerous weather does not seem to
have dampened the ardor of the pleas
IRE seekers Many of those who have
remained in town spent much of yes
terday at the Country club and dined
there last night, hoping to escape. the
din of town.
Today the piaZzas of the Country
club will be filled as usual with gol1
widows" as they are called, who pre-
fer the pleasant chance company OF
the club. to a lonely dinner at home
There are about twenty or thirty men
who spend every Sunday on the links,
regardless of weather. and unless their
wives seek congenial society, they are
apt to spend a lonely day.
Some women were discussing the
ethics of Sunday golf-playing recently
and one woman, whose husband is
great devotee, defended the custom ana
said she encouraged his playing on
Sunday, as it was the only day he had
and she was willing to sacrifice herself
that he might have one day out or
doors. Several OF the other women
present thought her almost too IN
selfish. 1t is certainly true that since
the craze for golf has come in, Sunday
has ceased to be family day in many
households, and many of the old-fash-
toned conservative women Will not pe
sorry if golf should prove to be pass
ing fad, like many other games.
Tennis is gaining ground this year
among women tremendously. The
courts of the Country club are In ex-g
cellent condition and every day more Of
the girls can be found there and fewer
of them on the links. Golf is in reality
a mans game, though many women
play exceedingly well. 1t is little too
strenuous for women and the decrease
in the number of women players in st.
Paul this summershas been marked.
Extravaganza in entertaining is
growing immensely in the East and the
habit of giving souvenirs to guests has
become a fad among the rich. There
are many who object to this on the
ground, not only that it is in very poor
taste, but that it is direct handicap
to those who can afford to entertain
only in the quietest manner AT sew
eral germans that have been given
lately at some of the watering places,
glasses for men, were among the gifts.
An invitation to an affair with such
costly gifts means something and not
many of the guests have previous en-
gagements.
