SOCIETY

Engagements and rumors OF engage
ments, with a prophetic hint of fall
brides, continue TO be the main topic
Of conversation wherever fashionable
society may happen to be. Richmond
society has finally arranged itself for
the summer, and its affairs arc we'll in
order. With the summer but half done,
already plans for the coming season
arc In the making. Pretty young
glrls are making up their minds about
their debut, and yet others are going
OH TO school and college for wider
ana fuller education than they have
Yet obtained. The day is far past when
girl is content with a "chafiI.g dish
ana kodak" course to finish off with,
and the ordinary college course Of
study mapped out for her curly head
at present enables her TO hold her own
quite we'll in the great world of knowl-
edge which lies at her feet.
Beside sending Miss Future Society

Greek" and the arrangement of her
sisters debut ball, the October bride

have been In the North closeted with
'nodiste and mantua- maker: already
the costume of the bride and her at
PENDANTS arc being put into shape for
the big church ceremony which they

robe is completed from one season to
another: hence the siren song of the
shops all the year round and the many
and frequent journeyings TO the capt.

America. So for the next several
weeks At least. social functions will go
forward with swing at the summer
resorts, and then Dame Fashion and the
Debutante will be allowed the center
OF the stage.
Plans for at least two OF the fall
weddings are most elaborate. The
brides-to-be have chosen cotcrie Of
pretty girls to attend them, and the
big, fashionable churches from which
they VIII be celebrated will be crowded
nupt!als. Most of the brides of the
coming winter have been spending the
summer very quietly with friends or
ut their own country homes, and the
Item OF the trousseau is vastly more
interesting than the newest step and
the latest music. BRENT WITT
