ST. LOUIS SOCIETY.
Old French Family Set Rather Takes
Lead in Affairs.

ST. Louis has no cultivated leisure
class, in the same sense that Boston
and New York have it, and we feel
no shame because of its lack.
But it must not be taken for grant
ed that, because of our devotion to
business, we have no social ideas or
aspirations. This big town aspires
nightly, and in the gradual working
up to the realization of it's ideals it
is measurably active in social festivi-
ties. We have functions in st. Louis
fashionable functions, too-and af-
fairs of elegance are as frequent here
as in any American city except New
York. st. Louis has no Fifth ave-
nue., but it has a west end In the
west end dwell the men who pull their
captive legs out of the boys of bust
ness upon occasion. and go home to
participate in the functions which are
arranged by the ladies of their house
holds. Receptions, pink teas, card
parties, and the like are given with
and the relish of appetites whetted
to a razor edge upon the grindstone
of business.
In the Worlds Fair season, the So
gratified to be told by social stars
from the east that the st. Louis func-
ton is not whit less elaborate than
the New York brand. For be it known
that this Missouri metropolis, having
worked assiduously these many years
and boarded its earnings, is a city of
rich men, who can afford now and then
to spend money like water for wine
and song and womanly radiance of
evening gowns and jewels. 1t is graf
flying, even to the humber ST. Louis
an, who wots not of the doings on
Lindell boulevard, in Vandeventer
place. and 1.-The Cabanne district" to
know that their own home town is
able to dazzle, and does dazzle, the
society swells of the east when this
sort of dazzlement is due.
St. Louis is dotted and spotted with
"sets." There are half a dozen So
cial sets, each of which strives siren
uouSly for the supremacy; and be-
meath this heaving upper crust of So
ciety we have many underlying SETS
down to the gaudily bebadged picnic
association of the Fourth ward.
There is, on the foam crest, the
Old French Family set. This element
is mighty in St Louis. The city is
named for Frenchman; it was set
tied by the French and, though Bona
parte parted with the trading post and
it's environs for a few farthings a
hundred and one years ago, the
French still govern st. Louis in a GER
tain sense. AS matter of course, all
these French people are thoroughly |
American and decidedly Missourian; |
but their Gallo names survive and are
potential in social life. These names
have been given to the streets, to the
sections, such as Cabanne and Caron- |
delet. and-to the cemeteries.
The possession of the name and |
blood of one of the old French fam
lies is a sufficient passport into the
most nearly exclusive social set in St |
