The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-06-02

handsome, although she is distinguish
ed. The young girl is tall and neither
slender nor plump Her colorine is
unusual. She wears her ample brown
hair in a low knot and her hair seems
shot with golden threads. Miss Mu-
riel has fine brown eyes and a brilliant
complexion.
1t was at dance that Mrs. Penn
broke Jones gave for the Misses De-
lano that this Tuxedo beauty flashed
before the critics of society But the
Golfers have no town house, and on
rare occasions only was Miss Robbins
seen about. At the Jones dance she
wore a gown of white chiffon heavily
embroidered in white The gown was
quite simple. and there was an at
tempt to reproduce the classic lines in
it. A wreath OF r0sebuds was In her
hair. After the dance she was the
most talked of girl in New York. al
though this success has not been fol-
lowed up systematically. A more am
bilious mother would have come to
town for a campaign, but the Delanos
and Robbinses do not indulge in this
worldly strategy.
On every side this summer one is ant
to see evidences of this same Pembroke
Jones dance. The cotiIion favors were
-
with a directoire cane trimmed with
three ostrich plumes. These pIumes
have been pressed into service and one
is constantly seeing Mrs. Jones' gifts
adjoining the hats of some of the best
goWned young women in town. 1t
must not be supposed that these CO.
tillon gifts are tossed aside disdainful-
ly. The maids who preside in the
dressing rooms at the big balls never
have a chance to bring away even
tissue paper toy fora nephew. These
same girls enjoy nothing better than
to walk to their carriage laden down
with cotillon favors. Of course it is an
indication of popularity, but then
many of these favorS come in handy
for Christmas and birthday gifts On
the other hand, the men seldom bother
unless the favorS are of intrinsic value.
Two years ago, when Mrs. OeIrichs
gave gold cigarcutters at her Newport
ball. many of the men left their gifts
behind, explaining afterWard that they
had several of their own"
With the advantage that Gen. Cor
bin has at. his disposal there is little
doubt that the coming garden party at
Governors Island in June will SurplsS
in point Of novelty and artistic effect
any social event of the season. The
party is for the benefit Of the army
be a parade by a battalion of the
Eighth infantry, which viii be preeed-
ed by escort of celors." Later in the
afternoon-June 2 is the date-thare
will be music drill by a company Of
the Eighth infantry and short. Eek
tended order drill" Two military
bands will lend harmony to the scene.
In the hands of such women as Mrs.
Corbin, Mrs. St. Clair McKRlWay, Mrs.
Douglas Robinson, Mrs. Gilbert Col
gate, Mrs HilbOrne Roosevelt, Mrs.
William Rockefeller and Mrs. Will
liam S. Fanshawe there is no rea-
son why the fete should not present a
scene fully as realistic as the outdoor
performance of las You Like 1t" in
Columbia last spring.
The tremendous notoriety that is
pursuing a we1I-known pair in society
recalls a story. that has caused many a
laugh in the Fifth avenue clubs. The
husband is devoted to show girls,
and although married he does not hes
itate to parade the stage divinities in
the Waldorf Astoria or the Holland
house. or wherever the lass pleases TO
go. One afternoon while slipping high
balls with one of these frivolous maid
ems in the Waldorf his wife appeared
and quite calmly approached her hus-
band Herbert" said the wife, ig-
noring the person" in the heavily
plumed hat, "be sure to come home to
dress at o'clock. We are dining out
at g." The theatrical person spoke
up even more calmly. ooh, that's all
right, Mfs. Jones; I'll send Herbert
home all right I've got to be at the
theater at Z, you know" What the
wife said to Herbert while dressing for
the dinner party IS certainly not told
by the husband, although he loves to
tell of the encounter Of his wife and
the person.
After much coaxing Mrs. Stuyvesam
Fish has consented to show herself at
the garden fete on Governors island
for the benefit Of the Army Relief So
eiety It required the joint urging of
Mrs Daniel Lamont and Mrs. Henry
C. Corbin to persuade Mrs Fish TO
lend her presence to the public lawn
| party. She was told that her presence
alone would attract scores of patrons
to Governors island on June 2. and,
being on friendly terms with Mrs. Cor
bin. finally she consented. Miss Marian
Fish will be at one of the booths, and
with the Fish assistance the social
standard Of the charity fete will be
raised to quite an extent. Mrs. Fish
will not go abroad this summer.
Before Mrs. ogden Mills sailed away
for three weeks of shopping in Paris,
an astonishing friendship developed
between her and Mrs. Fish, and these
powerful matrOns, SO long at daggers'
points. seem reeonciled at last. Ever
since Mrs. Fish established herself as
a leader Mrs. Mills felt that her lau-
rels were endangered and jealousy
alone caused the GOODNESS between the
two women. Mrs. Mills and Mrs. Fish
became quite friendly at Morris Park
one day and walked about arm in arm,
much TO the amazement of their
friends. With Mrs. Mills beaming on
Mrs. Fish, the last trace of Mrs. Fish's
unpopularity disappeared. Her era of
disfavor was only temporary, and just
at present she is at peace with the
world, barring Mrs. Ogden Goelet.
When Mrs. Goelet returns to America
she will scarcely be pleased to see her
ally, Mrs. Mills, on such cordial terms
with the Fish crowd" This is what
the conservatives call the little set that
revoIVes about Mrs. "Stuyvie.'
Great things are in store for Miss
Katherine Eddy, the sister of Spencer
Eddy, the diplomat, and the daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Augustus n. Eddy, Of
Chicago. Not alone is Miss Eddy one
of the heiresses of Chicago, but she is
a blonde of unusual beauty. The Ed
dys soon sail for Europe, where they
viii make their presence felt in the
German watering places. They have
not attempted London just yet but the
