The Saint Paul globe., 1904-09-11

E3HE past week has not been an en-
tirely dull one, although it is
III time of moving, settling and
planning for the winter, which
comes always sooner than we look for
II. From now until Christmas time
always flies, and the housekeeper who
mas a large family to look after and
the woman who entertains, will find
hef hands full to overflowing from
now on. Engagements are in the air,
Weddings are rumored and debutantes
are wondering how many rufTies they
viii have, on their coming out gowns.
The number of girls who go to eastern
schoeis is increasing each year, and be-
tween now and the first of the month
there will be many fearful good-byes
and the breaking up of the younger set
until the Christmas holidays reunite
them for a good time. The same thing
can be. said of the young men who be-
long to the same set, many of whom
are entering Yale this year.
.
1t is noticeable that although there
are many debutantes each year. the
girls who go away to school or to col
lege return with more serious thoughts
than society occupying their minds,
and many of them want to fit them
selves for some work Or profession.
Many Slrls now go right from college
10 hospital for nurses training, or to
a school which trains teachers, so that
the girl wholly given over to society is
rarer than ever before. Even the
daughters of wealthy families have felt
this impetus toward work, and though
they do not work for pay, they engage
in philatthropic interests, and thus
ind an outlet for their energies. But
society is wonderfully attractive to
some,s and we still have with us the
butterfly girl to whom the social game
is an absorbing occupation The num-
Der of these, however is smaller than
1T used to be, and the larger number
have but few idle moments.
