bors of carnival week, st. Paul society people
have shown themselves by no means inactive
during the week which has just closed. With

public nature have transpired, but the num-
Der of private reunions of various characters
have been fully up to the average. the omni-
present progressive euchre party as usual
monopoliZing a large share Of atten ton.

been devoted to a resting of weary bones,
but the last three or four days have brought
with them a renewed tide OF social enjoy
ments.

importance. About one hundred guests
witnessed the ceremony. Dancing and the
discussion of an elaborate supper caused
the time 10 pass rapidly until late hour.

gems. But two short years ago another
son of Mars, also from Fort Leavenworth,
carried away sister Of Tuesdays bride to
brighten his southern homes. -.
