S o c e t y

Richmond has been thronged with
Nisitors all week, and the races at the
state Fair have marked some very
Interesting gatherings Of society folk
Gay autumn gowns have been noted
an the boxes and grandstand. and the
smost delightful informality has char
acterized al entertaining, The fact
that four Of the FIVE famous Lang
horne girls have been here for several
days has been the occasion OF any
number Of handsome functions in their
honor, and society in Richmond en-
tertained right royalty In compliment
to these beautiful women. Their box
ct the races was a gathering place for
the smartest society in town. and their
departure from Richmond at the end OF
the week a matter of general regret.
A great many weddings Of note have
been celebrated this month and still a
larger number win take place before
the close OF October. Some very
pretty gowns were worn to the Vari-
Gus church weddings this past week.
The ribbons have been filled with
pretty women and lovely costumes
that add much brilliance to fashion
able nuptials.
The list Of debutantes for the win
ster remains unusually small. In TACT
lit il a matter Of much comment among
.people in Richmond that there is such
q scarcity OF girls to be introduced
this winter. Possibly there Is a
kxreater desire for college education
spreading among the girls and, since
that takes one we'll into the twenties.
beaux and balls are matters OF little
concern until their degrees have been
won. Entertaining has centred SO
largely around the debutantes for so
many years here that 1t is hard TO
imagine a season with a mere scat
tering Of girls, and all of the enter
,faining practically done for and by
the married set Possibly other names
will be announced later. and the list
lof buds be added to early in the win
ter.
