The bashful lorer drew Ms breath And made an effort Brand i "I wish I were the glove, he cried. That rente upon your hand! Bhe blushed a trifle, and replied. I must admire your taste. But I would rather that you were The belt around my waist. Now that the weather hae gotten warm, and aa everybody la neither Inclined nor privileged to hold everything at the Coun try and Field clube. the morning houre are becoming the' popular time for the gather ings In which men are net Included Con spicuous among these affairs . waa that given by Mrs. E. M. Fairfield and Mlse Blanche McKenna Saturday morning at Mrs. Fairfield's home. In fact, Saturday was really gay, for there were more people than usual at the clubs In the afternoon and Mre. Archie Leva's toe, given at The Bunkere between 4 and I o'clock for Miss Love of New York and Miss Schaefer. was among the smartest affair of the summer. This week promises little, but society U consoled with knowing that thla la the season for developments rather than prom ise. The Inauguration of Ladles' day at the Country club last week and with It the table d'hote luncheon, gives to the club a midweek feature that Is promising In deed. A surprisingly large number availed themselves of thle privilege last week, about sixty being present, while the parties were of good slie and" there were a number of them. It Is rumored that the members of the St Croix Tennis club Intend reorganis ing when the tennis season la ovej to give a series of dancing partlea during the fall and winter. The club Includes not a few men who have a reputation aa cotillon lead ers as well as tennis players and Its reor ganization as a dancing club Insures a material addition to the winter's gaiety. The third annual open lawn tennis toum ament for the championship of the middle west, to be held at the Field club beginning August 17, Is being anticipated by society that portion of it that expects to remain In town this summer as an oasis In the stretch of uneventful weeks between thle and the time when people will begin doing things again. Not that society generally Is so interested In tennis, though there has been a noticeable revival of the game this year, but a tournament offers such possi bilities for gatherings and society dotes on gatherings, especially, of the Informal sort that occur at the club, for practically everybody available ia sure to be there, not to speak of those who are liable to come from out of town. "Just think," eald the mother of one of the enthusiastic women golfers at the Country club as she looked at the hand some silver cup won by one of the women recently In one of the tournamente, "of the dispositions, heart aches and complex Ions that have gone Into that cup." Although there are all sorts of rumors afloat, the first definite promise of a break In the ranks of this year's debutantes came In the announcement made last week by Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert M. Hitchcock of the engagement of their daughter. Miss Mar garet Hitchcock, and Mr. Harry Doorly. Since her Introduction early last winter Miss Hitchcock has been a favorite and one of the leaders of the debutante set that has contributed materially to the year's gaiety. Mr. Doorly la a compara tlvely recent acquisition to the society fold. A ' party of women golfers braved the sun and wind of Monday afternoon and made the round of the course at the Field club. Among them were several enthusl asta who are perhaps better known than the majority, but who had previously con fined themselves to the Country club links, and It Is said that they received a wel come from some of the enthusiasts they met out on the course that was almost embarrassing In its cordiality. Another whist club waa among the prod ucts of last week. It met In the morning at the home of one of the fashionable matrons and the game lasted all day with' out Interruption, save for the luncheon which was served at 1 o'clock. The femi nine fashionables have developed surprls lng constancy where cards are concerned, for nearly every day sees an all-day table at the Country club, with from four to dozen members. Among the largest of the dinner parties given at the Country club Saturday even ing waa that given by Mr. and Mrs. B. B Wood for their daughter, Mies Margaret Wood. Their guests were: Misses Prltchett, Love, Mary Lee McShane, Brady, Gore, Lomax, Cotton, Klrkendall, Messrs. Fred Hamilton, Jerome Magee. Dudley Mason a. Carlton Wharton, George Prltchett, Fred Nash. Frank Hill, Shaw, Joe Cudahy and Roy Wood. One of the pretty summer weddings was that of Miss Nellie Maclaren Horn and Mr. Dennis Alvln Crlss of Petersburg. Neb at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James S. Horn, on Wednesday evening, July 8. Promptly at 8:30 o'clock, to the etralns of Mendelssohn's "Wedding March," played by Miss Ala Neville, the bridal party descended the stairway, pre ceded "by Rev. T. J.
