"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. Mackay. the officiating
clergyman. The groom was accompanied
by Mr. Richard Edens of Petersburg as
beat man. Miss Jessie Stebblns of Shelton,
Neb., gowned In pale green silk mous
sellne de sole and carrying a showor
bouquet of white carnations, waa brides
maid. Miss Horn wore a dainty gown of
