65th YEAR
SOCIETY
Kngagements and rumors of enRago
mentB, with si 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 well In
order. With the summer hut half done,
already plans for the coming season
are In the making. Pretty young
girls are making up their minds about
their debut, and yet others are going
off to school and college for a wider
and fulb-r education than they have
yet obtained. The day is far past when
a girl is content with a "chafli.g dish
and kodak" course to finish off with,
and the ordinary college course of
study mapped out for hor curly head !
at present enables her to hold her own j
<|illte well in the great world of knowl
< -Ikc which lies at her feet.
Beside sending Miss Future Society
JSelle ofT for her "little Latin and less
?Ireek" and the arrangement of her
sister's debut ball, the October liride
will come in for a large share of at
tention. Already fashionable mothers
have been In th" North closeted with
modiste and rnantua-maker: already
th* costume of the bride and her at
tendants are being put into shape for
the big church ceremony which they
are to adorn. The woman who is well
dressed never considers that her ward
robe Is completed from one season to
??mother; h?-n?e the siren sons of the
.shops all the year round anil th< many
and frequent Journevings to the capi
tals of fashion, where fine raiment Is
on display.
Only last week a prominent society
woman returned from New York with [
a whole trunk full of the smart'-st !
gowns imaginable. Some of her hats 1
are quite '-xtretne, with a real foreign
style to the Jaunty little trimmings,!
but they were every one "made in \
America." So for the next several
weeks at least, social functions will go '
forward with a swlnir .at the summer '
reports, and then Dame Fashion and the
Debutante will be allowed the center :
of the btage.
Plans for at least two of the fall I
weddings are most elaborate. The I
brides-to-be hav> cho.son a cot'*rie nf :
pretty girls to attend them, and the j
big, fashionable churches from which
they will be celebrated will be crowded
with brilliant assernbli' j to witness th" j
nuptials. Most of the brides of the'
coming winter have been spending the !
summer very quietly with friends or i
at thetr own country H'omes, and the j
item of th- trousseau is vastly more
interesting than the newest step and
the latest rnuslc. BHENT WITT.
