SOCIAL WORLD.
THE LAKE SEASON

THE LAKE SEASON
/ which commenced so late, is already
, virtually ended. The early days of sum-
mer were cold, and almost all of August
has been so cold that the town has been
preferable to the country TO pleasure
seekers. One can but lament that all
the pretty toilets, which were prepared
with so much care and expense, with a
view to display and enjoyment, should so
early have been doomed to retirement;
indeed some of them were not even un-
packed, but abode silent in their dark
receptacles. But not in vain were they
created, for even now there is note of
preparation for the winter campaign
in the air, and all those transparent, lace
bedecked draperies, thick, lustrous silks,
heavy brocades and handsome velvets.

which the modiste gave them ''are not
born to blush unseen," but may come
forth in all their pristine beauty and

they were intended for, so that really there
will be no loss, in all the expense and pre-
paration for the summer; as reception.

THE GERMANS.
The German society is preparing for the
general fall and winter campaign. The
following memoranda contain some indi-
cations Of what may be expected.
THE sENGERFEsT.
The German Singers union, of st. Paul,
consisting of the Mannerchor, Lieder-
kranz, Arion and Concordia will attend
| the Sengerfest at Saltwater in body,
and ali Of them, separately and collectively,
have been most diligently rehearsing and
practlcing for this great biennial event
The first named tive societies have in Prof.
j. L. Kerker the same musical director and
teacher, while the Arion and Concordia are
respectively directed by Profs. John S.
erode and August Scheufer, the latter
| gentleman being also chosen by the Still
| water Mannerchor as the musical director
of the entire festival. Arrangements have
! been perfected by the local committee with
the st. Paul Daluth railroad, by which
the price of the round trip tickets has been
fixed at one dollar, the tickets being good
for the eth, 9Th, 10th and 1lth, September,
thus enabling all who may wish to attend
to choose any particular day, or to take in
the entire festival, and return after the con-
clusion. The active singers of the union

festival of the Great Union band. The
entire union of German singers of st. Paul
will be designated by a corps-band or mar
row silken tri-colored scarf, worn over the
right shoulder and diagonally across the
chest, composed of the old German revo-
lutionary colors of 1S48, of black, red and
gold, the name of their particular societies
being printed in gilt letters on the other
wise uniform band of each and all. Per-
feet unanimity and harmony prevails, and
1t is safe to say that the twelfth Minnesota
S@ngerfest is being inaugurated under as
favorable auspices as the most ardent
singer or friend of song could well desire;
and this is as it should be.
THE ATHENEUM.
The dramatic division of the German
society will present the historic play of
Anna Lise, or Prince Leopold of Dessau
and the Apothecary's Daughter on this
evening. The performance is for the ben
fit of Mr.. Kuehn, the calI-manager and
general utility man of the society whose
oft times onerous and always responsible
duties would seem to entitle him to sub
stantial recognition at the hands of his
, friends and the patrons of the house gen.
, orally. Aside, however, from the worthy
obJest of the entertainment the play rich
~ deserves all possible patronage as it is
one of the best standard works on the
German stage and has lost none of its
great popularity. The rehearsals have
been numerous, the costumes are for the
most part new and Seibert's select orches-
ira will render the original march of the
piece itself as of the customary choice Sc

GRAND JOINT ENTERTAINMENT.
On next Sunday the combined active
forces of the mixed and male choruses OF
the Liederkranz and of the dramatic divi
sion and Mannerchor of the German
society will present a joint musical and
: dramatic entertainment, the full pro-
. gramme for which has not been fully ar.
E ranged, but which, in its main features
will contain such variety of good things
as cannot fail of satisfying the tastes OF
+ of all who may attend, prominent among
which will be the rendition of one or DOS.

OF the coming sengerfest in which the
united forces of both societies will par.
tlcipate. The mixed chorus of the Lieder-
kranz, always favorite, will render one or
more selections, Seibert's orchestra will
furnish the instrumental music, and the
7 dramatic division will render two act
comedy and vaudeville in one act, respect
lively entitled ''Neice and Aunt and
"Woman's Tears.'' Both societies will
exert themselves to the utmost in making
the occasion one long to be remembered
with delight and pleasure, so that all who
can should not fail to attend.
HAPPY REUNION.
The residence of Hon. Walter L. Burr
judge of the municipal court, No. Wa.

} delightful family reunion, at which there
was gathering of the clans
