ton Folk.
These people from the land OF pork anu
beans, of chicken pie and billed dlnners'
ought to be satisfied when they come 10 a
town in a bowling Western wilderness, and,
bv their destinations, break up all the social
pastimes of a whole community for full
week. They have divided families, they
have changed the hour for dinner and they
have literally turned things upside down
much to the delight of the sufferers! The
Boston Ideals, as an entirety, are certainly
all that the most exacting could desire,
and. in many respects, greatly better than
they ever were before. 1t is sure that
much greater pains are taken in the de-
tails. and it is evident that the manager
studies the ensemble from the front OF the
lights and that the stage manager has his
eagle eye on the work behind, while the ac-
complished Mr.. mot Prof.) Sam StudleY
watches both.
There have been several elegant little az
fairs during the week, the most OF them
surrounding some of the members OF the
Ideal party, all of whom are great favorlteS
in social circles. The reception held By
Capt. II. A. Castle and lady at the Mer-
chants on Friday evening was in honor OF
Gov. and Mrs Hubbard. the most elegant
aIalr OF us hlllu llllS SCdSOli, dliu
party of the Patriarchs' club at the Ryan
on Wednesday night by far surpassed any
thing in the terpsichorean line yet given.
This club is somewhat peculiar in its work
ings, as the lady managers, of which Mrs.
George r. Finch is the chairman, Sc
lect a certain number of outsiders
as their guests for the first party and after
wards delegate the task to other lady men,
beers. This will account for the pretentlous
manner in which invitations have been sent
To certain members of a family, while others
have been omitted.

A certain gentleman, who attended the
BANQUET given by Manager Foster on
THANKSGIVING night to his company and a
few friends, was relating his experience to
Jim Goodhue. He told Of his delight at
being favored with Mile de Lussan as a
partner and caSully remarked that he talked
French to her mostly so that the fellow on
the other side of her would not understand
what he said. All" exclaimed jim, 80
the fellow on the other side was a French
man?"
The social entertainment given at the
Temperance rooms last evening was largely
attended. Every number was well given,
and the recital of of Rock of Ages" in the
sign language by Mr.. Frank HutSon was
very entertaining. Those taking part in
the exercises of the evening were Miss May
Pietre, Lilly W. Harrison, Mrs. c. G. Har-
rison, Messrs. Hunt Spicer, Chaffee, Har-
rison and Starkweather.
THE GAYETY CLUB.
The following plan will be understood by
those who are interested in such desirable
schemes. 1t is to take the form OF cir
cular:
The success of musical and dramatic as
sociations in other cities, notably the Rich
mond Mozart, the Baltimore W ednesday
club and the Cincinnati Musical festivals,
has emboldened the undersigned to under
take the formation of a similar OrganiZa-
ton here.
The requisites for the successful carrying
out of this idea are, first desirable loca-
ton: second, a suitable building, and third,
the cooperation of our friends.
The first we have secured in the offer, by
the owner, to lease for a term of years a
portion of what is known as the Mann
property, on the corner of Dayton and
Summit avenues The other two requisites
are still wanting and their want is the rea-
son for this communication.
Messrs. Newell and Curry, after consulta-
ton together, and with successful promo
tiers of similar schemes elsewhere, have
formulated the following plan, which they
offer for your consideration.
First-A company should be organized to
erect, own and manage building suitable
for dramatic, musical and private entertain
ments.
Second-Either in connection with, OF
separate from said company, should be Or
ganized Musical and Dramatic associa-
ton. which should give entertainments for
the exclusive benefit and pleasure of its
members. once month or oftener as may
seem preferable.
Third-The membership of the associa-
ton should consist of our best people, that
making the meetings both pleasant and
beneficial as social gatherings.
Fourth-The association might alleviate
its amateur dramatic entertainments with
concerts given by both local and foreign tai
ent.
Fifth-Actors and singers of prominence,
such as Booth, Barrett, Salvlni and Others,
might be entertained by the association
when they visit st. Paul
The above are a few suggestions as to
what could be done for pleasure: now we add
some thoughts as to how the scheme may be
made profitable, though we do not offer
1t as paying Investment, our main
OBJECT being to cultivate a higher
musical taste to provide neat, comfort
able, attractive and well-located place for
social reunions and to supply want in fur
niShing hall for both public and private
entertainments, thus avoiding the necessity
of going to halls not entirely suited for
such purposes and Kidding ourselves of the
trouble, inconvenience and expense neces-
sarily arising from giving large entertain
ments in private houses, and more than
anything else to bring our people oftener
md more closely into those relations
which tend so much to improve the social
standard and make our homes pleasant.
The Musical and Dramatic association
would not need the hall more than once a
week. Allowing that nothing would be paid
by it, we would still have 257 evenings q
year when the hall could be rented. Put
the total cost of the building, furniture,
taxes and rent at $50, 1000, about twice Oul
estimate. and the average rent of the hal
at SO per evening, and we have an an.
nuaI income of 50, 570, more than 10 pei
