The mn shines. The air Is soft and clear with the odor of harvest time and the pungent odor of burning leaves waited about one. At night the moon shines clear and silvery and leaves in their hurry fall rustling to the ground, the wind softly singing through them. It is a month for dreaming. Its beauty makes one ache with longins unfulfilled.

The country is a goreous place with the hills a mass of brilliant colors. The woods are wonderlands where one can go for refuge, shuffling knee-high through leaves of every hue that rustle and snap with anticipation of -Joyous days to come. One is careful these days, with minds turned toward the ghastly conflagration in the Xorth to light one's camp fire on a bare spot near a bubbly brook and there cook the steak or crispy bacon and fragrant coffee which is as necessary a part of a tramp through the hills as the good friend by our side. Here one sits and smokes and chats for an hour or two until with a last stamp ing out of embers one starts homeward, reaching there as early twilight falls and tree toads and crickets start their cheery songs for the night A XD right here before I go further raving about nature, I must speak about the ghastly error I made last week in writing up one of the brilliant weddings of the season, substituting instead of the bride-and-groom-that-was, a ride -and -groom -to-be. Of -course, I knew thoee of the inner circle knew what was meant when on writing a bit about the Schmidt-Krench wedding I ub stituted the names Schoellkopf-Pea-body, still an apology if not an explanation most be made, though everyone knows that the Schoell-kopf-Peabody wedding is one of the brilliant ones to look forward to.

while the Schmidt-French wedding Is one to look back upon with happy recollections. A tired brain is the only excuse and that a poor one. however, it must suffice this time and as for next time, "there ain't going to be no next time." THE beautiful days of the last two weeks have been perfect for the Hunt Club's sport, which consists. now that the polo season is closed, of hunts; which take place every Tuesday and Saturday. These hunts.

which the members and their friends attend so eagerly, are glorious affairs, followed psually a dinner riven in honor of the riders. A week ago Tuesday Mr. and Mrs. William Barr gave a dinner follow ing the hunt, while last Saturday right T. Morgan Bowen.

C. Oct. 7th. Waslilngton Debutantes Busy. Washington society believes in pre paredness that is, preparedness for the forthcoming seasons.

October is the month for out the greater part of the details of that preparedness, therefore all who have a claim to being "in society" are the busiest ever, during these October weeks. The little debs; are toddling from the diressmakers to the photographers, and from heir lists in their desks, to discuss plans with their contemporaries over a cup of tea or a glass of soda, And indeed, the schedule of a debutante and her mother or chaperone is; to be taken seriously indeed for a girl's whole life is made or marred by tfris, her first season. Her whole future depends upon she meets and how she demeans herself. No more interesting study in the world is there, than the evolution of a society girl, from her "sub-deb" season. To know her as a bud and- again as a full fledged' blossom is sometimes a revelation in human nature study.
