Everybody seems to be getting ready fol
the annual holy festival, and there is so
much of shopping and the making of fancy
articles that little time is left for the ex-
change of social courtesies. The past week
mas been totally unmarked by any great
event where the attendance was general.
The banquet of the st. Paul Boat club was
pleasant affair, and it was gratifying that
the spirit Of ood-fellowship was emphasized
by the drinking of a toast to the Minnesota
Boat club. The guests were on their feet
when the sentiment was delivered, and it
was received with prolonged cheers.
Arrangements are already in progress for
some extremely elegant entertainments
during the progress of the grand ice carni-
val, and the indications are that st. Paul
will, during the month of February, be
called upon to entertain more people than
was ever before assembled in the North
west or perhaps in the whole country.
Communications have been received
at the headquarters of the Carnival
association from all points of the coun-
try asking particulars, and there is no
doubt but that every hotel and boarding
house in the city will be taxed to its
utmost 1t is the desire of the managers
that all who will be prepared to entertain
visitors should notify the assistant secretary
at the Hotel Ryan of the extent of their
accommodation and their rates by the day
OF week.
One of the best ideas that have been adj
vanced to make the festival attractive to
the best class of people is the arrangement
Of an art exhibition, to which the finest
works of art, paintings, statuary, ETC.,
owned by St. Paul citizens shall be loaned.
Such an exhibition could be easily prepared,
and few cities of the size on the continent
could present better, more attractive or
more valuable display.
Many projects for elegant balls, fancy
ones, masquerades, etc. ale in hand for
the grand carnival month, aud visitors will
find no cessation in pleasure. The attrac-
tions for that season at the Grand opera
house will include some of the finest ever
presented in the Northwest.
Over on DaytOn's bluff is school house.
This school is presided over by very pretty
and interesting young lady teacher, who is
a great favorite with the juveniles en-
trusted to her care, and the boy scholars are
constantly in turmoil as to which shall
have the privilege of eScOrting her home
after the close Of school. Last week one
sagaciouS iX-year-old man determined to be
ahead of his competitors. and during the
afternoon he raised his hand TO attract the
teachers attention. When asked what he
desired, he arose and in polite manner
asked the teacher if ''he might have the
pleasure of escorting her to her home after
school," The girls laughed, the boys looked
cross and the teacher accepted the invita-
ton.

THE ST. PAUL IDEALS.
Probably few people in st. Paul are un-
aware OF the existence of the above-named
company of gentlemen amateurs, who have
formerly given part of their time and
abilities to charitable entertainments, and.
as announced in last Sundays GLOBE. have
planned another exhibition at the opera
house Tuesday and Wednesday nights of
the third week of January. OF the variety
and high order of their coming entertain
ment, however, much can be said to the
praise of the talent and ingenuity of the
club, who have apparently We'd with each
other to make this their probable last ap,
pearance an enjoyable occasion, as well as
a substantial benefit, their effort being to
evidently make sweet charity a
pleasure. OF the musical part much
can be expected for it is really of
high concert order, as might be ex-
pected of the members of such a chorus as
we published last week, to which have been
added Mr.. Merrill. Mr.. Dudley and Mr..
Shae. Amateur comedy, generally net so
very funny. is also reversed this year, and
MeSSrs. Allen, FIournoy. Wilkes. Hay,
Weatherby and ThroOp, in connection with
Mr.. Doherty. have planned acts that should
greatly take the public fancy. Athletics
are also considered in a brilliant Zouave
drill, to be given by three gentlement of the
lrSt regiment, who at present remain
ncog. Mr. Sherry'S song and dance act is
very artistic and handsomely coStumed. and
the banjo music will be better than before.
Mr.. Doherty. already well-known as
bright and versatile actor and comedian. is
new member who has promised to surpass
himself. The program is given below, sub |
ject to the elaboration and changes that the
next three weeks will naturally produce.
