THE SOCIAL WORLD.

The advent of winter during the past
week and the preparations for the holidays
have not been conducive of social events.
In fact, society has been a little frozen
and when it thawed it devoted itself to
inspecting the stocks Of the
shopkeepers. The excellent sleigh
ing and the mild temperature which
now prevails, will make the gay winter sea-
son begin earlier than usual. The era for
sleighing parties has generally been post
pJned until January, but this year the
beautiful snow has taken things by the
forelcck and is on deck three weeks ahead
of time. It could not be expected that all
would be in readiness for such a premature
arrival, but it will not take st. Paul society
catch Oh.
