THE SOCIAL WORLD.


very tidy events, and large number OF
society folks have engaged in festivities
more or less suited to satiate the Unborn
craving for amusement or past1me. But
in these gatherings there has been little
Difference paid to Dame Fashion, whose
votaries remained in the dim background.
1t is difficult to assign reason Tor this
general apathy, except on the GROUNDS
that the habitues of the fashionable world
have not yet recuperated from the tollles
and designations incident to the holiday
season.
The position of the society muldoon
under such a reign of general dizziness may
be better imagined than described. The
dignifed clawhammer coat, which has
been wont to disport itself on occasions OF
great Importance and tone has been gent
" laid on the shelf by the side. of the snow
ely choker and patent leather pumps.
There is imminent danger indeed that
the vocation of the swell society duck IS
approaching that stage of the game known
as dissolution All incident came to light
Yesterday, however, which may prove
GIANT lever towards rescuing the social
darling from the dumps and placing him
upon the high plane where he belongs.
Allusion is of course made to the probable
appearance in this city of the Jersey Lilly.
The wide-awake manager of the skating
rink had bright idea last Friday, and
acting upon the inspiration he telegraphed
the manager of Mrs. Langtry that if she
would consent to pay the rink of this city
visit, he would guarantee her a big bonus
in the way of lucre besides paying the ex-
penses of the trip. This was happy
thought. and it is to be hoped that the Lily
will not loose one of the greatest oppor-
tunities of her hayward and mis-spent
life.
By coming to st. Paul she will not only
make the hearts of many people happy
but she may retrieve the errors of wasted
career. Of course we should not see her
in RosaIind or any other drama, but as she
is a high kicker on skates what would be
the difference. 1t would be great act to
see the Langtry Lily walk Spanish or cut
the American eagle on skates, even though
she is reported to be a little thin, anatom-
mically.
Besides she might give Freddie the
shake and make several new mashes IN
this section of the country. We know
several young men who could do the grand
and then an excursion to White Bear or
some other summer resort might be ar
ranged just to show her the beauties OF
our glorious climate. This is snap
which may only occur to the Lily once in
lifetime and if she is posted in her bust
ness she will not fail to come.
