THE SOCIAL WORLD.

Summer has come at last and the fav-
ored sons and daughters of st. Paul
whose destiny it is to inhabit the enchant-
ed realms of fashionable society are pre-
pairing to make their annual hegira.
That is to say, that portion of the elect
will migrate to basky deli or where the
centennial rooster gladdens the menu of
the summer boarding house, whose bank
rolls will permit the luxury of
midsummer trip with all
the attendant delights and dlscomforts.
To those who can shake the dust of Office
or counting room off their feet, nobody
ever heard of Smithson leaving the vul-
gar shop and taking materfamilas and
the kids into the country the warm sea-
son is not without its pleasures and ben
efts. AS compared with the busy and
overcrowded marts of the East, however,
st. Paul, environed with her numerous
lakes, bucolic and shady retreats and
honest landlords, of course, offers attrac-
tions which would be considered the
Suu1 VI SOCldl CAlSICnCO NY tuC
denizens of less favored cities.
Let the affluent of purse then, or the
capricious of whim, indulge the pen
chant for long and wearisome journeys
by rail to join the giddy throng of those
who seek the gllttering wretchedness of
the fashionable resorts at the seaside.
For them is the veXation, discomfort and
disgust that comes from disappointment
and the hopelessness of ennui In
marked contrast is the peace and con-
tentment of him who pitches his modest
tent on the banks Of some refreshing
lake or stream where the cooling waters
grateful shade and the abiding still
ness and beauty of earth and sky
that terminates repose of mind and body
is altogether unpurchasable elsewhere.
1t is such draughts from the laboratory
of nature that rejuvenates the spirits,
puts roses int the cheek of care, and
strings the soul to higher planes of
thought and doing.
For the nonce the social world may be
said to be inert. There is little of marked
prominence to note. Fandango has
thrown aside her castanet and the ball

ed. Below is the weekly grist:
