The Saint Paul globe., 1905-01-01

- HI parties than for formal enter
tanning, and this past week has
seen few affairs of more than pass
ing interest. The announcement of
the engagement of Miss Mary Saunders,
youngest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. E.
N. Saunders, to Mr.. Wheaton Kittridge.
5, of Boston, was the most interesting
news of the week. Mr.. Kittridge is
Studying law at Harvard and will not
finish for another year, so it is not
likely the marriage will take place for
some time. Rumors of three other en-
gagements are in the air, and while
they have been denied, gossip is per-
sistent in asserting they are true.
There are still left in St Paul some
old fashioned mothers who regard the
custom of announcing engagements as
in wretched taste and Of their daugh-
ters' affairs we can only learn from the
informal announcements.

Ramaley's hall and Miss Loomis'
school have been the scenes Of almost
nightly dances during the past week,
and two or three younger sets have
danced to their hearts content. Socie-
ty has split up considerably during the
has been particularly marked among
the young people. However, those boys
and girls who now separate into cliques
will all be united in a year or two when
they come out, but for the present
years difference in age draws the line
sharply. Miss Cooper's very beautiful
s..danee and that of the German. club
were the two affairs of the week for the
Ill of, y0ra
gayer and pleasanter than any dances
of the winter. The giving up Of the
breakfast which Mrs. Ranney and Miss
Ranney were to have had tomorrow,
on account of a death in the family,
was a great disappointment, and will
keep Miss Ranney from going into So
ciety this winter, where she has become
q great favorite.
