SOCIAL POINTS.

A Dull Week and Small Amount in Sight
Society matters have been as fat as q ioun
der. Considered as one of the fine arts it ID
going into decay in st. Paul with the rapidity
of galloping consumption. The why and
wherefore of this sudden apathy in the world
of fashion is quite as intangible as the reason
that actuates tt e perlcrauium de femme to turn
round and scrutinize another lady in the
street.
1t is probable that correct situation NAV
be had when viewed in the light of the warm
weather. Society, as is society, is primped
up in the starched decorum of thousand
conventionalities This sort of thing is Justly
held by old Sol in contempt. Society doesn't
like to perspire; it takes the rouge off the face
of my lady, spoils the looks, and, besides it
is vulgar.
But if society languishes in the drawing
room and parlor, the devotees of the giddy
dame make ample amends by their gorgeous
plumage on the streets. 1t is as good as a
visit to conservatory to promenade down
Third street any fine afternoon, if for nothing
else than to observe the styles in fashion.
1t would seem that art had exhibited her
treasure house to beStow so much loneliness
in shade and hue upon these bewildering fab
