THE SOCIAL SEASON.

THE SOCIAL SEASON.
1t Is Confined Mostly to the Lakes Bril-
liant Gathering at White Bear and Elmo
Personal Mention of a Few Notabilities
Society events are now things of the
past The temperature has been too
high to admit of terpischorean diversions,
and lawn parties have been.at discount
because of the annoyance caused by those
nightly marauderS, the moths and the
flying bugs, that persist in dashing into
the faces of even the most delicate ladies,
without any provocation whatever 1t is
impossible to keep up Irritation when,
Just as one is on the point of making an
open declaration Of eternal devotion, the
party of the second part is compelled to
start violently, scream in an UndertOne
and vigorously endeavor to knock black
back off her alabaster neck. 1t is useless
to attempt it, and hence, aside from
croquet on the lawn for an hour or two
before the close of day, nothing in the
| form of outdoor amusement can be at

good many attachments, for even the
most amiable of maidens cannot resist
exclamations Of impatience at the intru-
sion of lightning bug upon the exposed
portions of their persons. A slight
| cessation, however, will not be
out of place It will give a
relish for the pleasures that are to come.
| The lakes have the lions share of the
| dreds-yea. thousands-of people from
all parts of the habitable globe who are
seeking recreation at these popular
breathing places There is a continual
round of pleasure at these resorts
AT WHITE BEAR
the season has thus far been very pros
porous. The cottages are ali filled by
residents of St. Paul and Southern points.
The hotels are overcrowded, and can
scarce find accommodations for those who
apply There is music and dancing every
night, either at the pavilion, at Leip's,
or elsewhere. and if one wishes to enjoy
the pleasures of the dance there. need be
no excuse for abstaining The lake is
f1ecked with sails from early dawn to dewy
eve, and merry carols reach the shore
from the gay parties that are careening
over the waves There are more yachts
on the lake than ever before, and they
are the fleetest ever launched
On Thursday evening the Knights of
Pythias of St. Paul, Minneapolis and
Saltwater enjoyed picnic at 'sthe Bear"
1t was gala affair, and the company was
reinforced by about score of couples
from st. Paul not belonging to the order.
1t was the unanimous opinion of all
present that no more enjoyable entertain
ment has ever been spent in this vicin-
ity.
The widow of ex-senator o. P. Nor
ton, the famous war governor of Indiana,
has been spending several weeks at the
lake, in company with part Of her fam
lily.
Mrs W. H. Brakes house, on the north
shore, is occupied by number of fami-
lies of distinction, mostly from the South.
D..A. Monfort and family are occupy
ing pleasant cottage, and seem to be en-
-ioying themselves to the utmost.
Bart Presley and wife have their latch
string always out to friends generally,
who are most Hospitality entertained.
Miss MAY Bohrer has left the lake after
a three months visit at Camp Hoosier.
The champion four-oar crew of the
Minnesota Boat club have an exciting
pull every morning and evening over the
clear surface of the lake. They are i'm
proving in their method, and will no
doubt make an excellent showing at the
Washington contest.
The launch of the new catamaran will
take place at Mosquito Point this after
noon.
The camp fires at the Baptist camp
have become feature of the lake shore.
Equestrianism has become exceedingly
popular among the young ladies and gen
tlemen. There are large number Of
spirited and splendid horses around
about, and the ladies especially are be-
coming proficient in handling the reins.
AT LAKE ELMO.
No more charming spot for recreation
can be found in this vicinity than at Lake
Elmo. The spacious hotel, the wide
halls forming parlors, the long covered
piazzas, all afford social attractions for
dancing, promenading, etc. Wednesday
evening the Great Western band gave a
delightful concert. The electric light was
in full operation, and minor lights with
strings of Chinese lanterns gave beauty
to the scene. The scene was in reality a
picture worth twice the. journey to wit
ness. The merry throng, the lights re-
fiecting upon the lake, the music, and all
combined lent a charm to the occasion,
which large party from
ST. Paul enjoyed. The regular guests of
the hotel scarcely miss an evening with
out social entertainment among them
selves, which are participated in gener-
ally and made genuine home affairs.
The week has brought a goodly number
of new guests, and the coming week
bids fair to be more attractive than any
of its predecessors.
