THE SOCIAL WORLD.

|
most odious of infants, it stands in need of
occasional mild correction. Again, in its
heedlessness and profound contempt of
theunities and eternal fitness of things
society may be ikened to the feecy fiocks
that scamper in the wake of a bell wether
tible reason, the movements of the latter
are marked by superior generalship.
The foregoing profound reflection is the
result of observations forced upon the
writer in Witnessing the desertion of the
summer resorts and the rush into town of |
night ago, and the beautiful resting places
about st. Paul were Respondent with gay
throngs and resonant of mirth and revelry.
Now there is an air of apathy. painfully
mindful of Bunthorne's soliloquy in
Patience, empty, empty, empty"'
The stampede has been unprecedented.
and this in spite of the fact that never
since Minnesota has been state has her
bland air, pleasing scenery, and supernal
skies appeared with more variegated
splendor. 1t does not seem reasonable
that such prospect should be changed
for the motley mobs, heat and vexation of
the city. The transition is quite ridicu-
lous; at first few families disappear
from the circle, then a few trunks are
carted off, and suddenly everyone seems
possessed with the idea that it is the proper
| thing to go, and before it is realized the
place is empty. 1t is not enough that
balmy September is here, that the chill
| dren have to be put to school, that pater-
| familas must get back to business. The
| latter will have dull hours and tedious
cares enough and to spare when the snow
flies, and as for the children, heaven
| knows a week of this weather in the water
and woods would be more stock in trade
than a month of study in fetid school
] rooms.
| But then it is fashionable. and one
might as we'll be out of the world as out
of fashion.
| The past week has been taken up with
many episodes of general excitement,
which probably accounts for the absence
of events especially notable. The warm
weather has opposed indoor gatherings and
there is hiatus, society not yet having
the courage to don the fnery that goes
