A Dull Week and Small Amount in Sig

A Dull Week and Small Amount in Sight
Society matters have been as fat as 1oun
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
whereforeof this sudden apathy in the world
Of fashion is quite as Intangible as the reason
that actuates tt perlcranium de femme 10 turn
round and scrutinize another lady in the
street.
1t is probable that correct situation may
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 perspre; it takes the rouge off the face
OF my lady, spoils the looks, and, besides it
is vulgar.
But if society 1anguishes in the drawing
room and parlor, the devotees of the giddy
dame make ample amends by their gorgeous
plumage on the streets. It 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 best0w SO much loveliness
in shade and hue upon these bewildering fab
ricatiOns of the bonnet maker. -
| Quite breeze sprung up last week over the
sudden discontinue of a matinee masher,
turned pious, who was caned by paterfamilias
for not knowing how. to keep his place.
The impertinent youth is too preliminary
for the set he aspired to shine in and was prop
erly sat down upon. A gist of happenings
have been collarod, which are set forth be-
low. ~,
