bees which have been gotten up quick
ly to speed some departing guest or
welcome some passing visitor. AT TINS
time of year we are quite In the naple
of saying that every one who IS any
one is away, and though there are SO
many well-known people out OF town,
there are, too, many well-knoWn ones
in town, and this accentuates the fact
that we are coming slowly to realize
that st. Paul is getting to be a large
city. Socially the lines are broaden
ing in one way and Tightening In an
other, as there are few houses large
enough these days to entertain all or
society at once, and the result has
been the breaking up of society into
sets and cliques. Indeed woman who
has not been here long, but has been
well received, declared recently that
st. Paul is the cliquiest place she has
ever seen.
St Paul society well remembers Mrs.
William T. Maxfeld, formerly well
known and much liked in this city,,
now no longer living here. and will be
interested in a paragraph which ap-'
roeared in the New York Herald last
week concerning her. Mrs. Maxfeld
| was a Gibson of Kentucky, one of the
most prominent and exclusive OF the
| old Southern families, and she now
makes her home at her old home, but
spends much time in Washington,
where she is almost equally well
known. The reference made to her by
the Herald was in an article describ-
ing the beautiful old family homes of
Kentucky, of which not the least ia
nous is the Gibson place. The refer
ence is as follows:
.eElmsdale and Shadyside are the
names of the homes of Messrs. Howard
and Richard Gibson, who own adjacent
farms near Lexington. Both of these
places are old-fashioned mansions.
One is a typical Southern porch, with
a plain red brick house back of it; the
other is a Gothic structure, most sug-
gestive of a Norman church. Only the
| best of horses are in the stables.
cat Elmside lives Mrs. Louisiana
Maxf1eld (nee Gibson), whose room at
| a fashionable New York hotel was
robbed last year, when she came North
to see some of their fayorites run, and
who has the reputation of being her
self the most famous cross country
rider in Kentucky.
Like all the other native breeders of
horses. the Gibsons-father, sons and
daughters-are always in the saddle
There is a picture of Mrs. Maxfield
on her horse accompanying the article,
which is unfortunately so poorly print
