SEPTEMBER has been such an ex
ceptionally fine month for outdoor
pleasures that society folk are
loath to take up actively formal social
duties.
The country clubs are proving so at
tractive, with such inducements as golf,
tennis and motoring:, that informal
luncheons, dinners and dances at the
various clubs are the only diversions
offered.
Weddings will continue to be the
center of attraction for the rest of this
month at least. Last week all other
affairs were completely overshadowed
by the Davis-Burns nuptials, which was
one of the most notable weddings of
the year.
