THE GIDDY WHIRL.
pRELEyTEN FESTIVITIES IN ST. PAUL

The social week in st. Paul has been more
quiet than one would expect just before
Lent, when the social world takes its las
whirl before entering the somber forty days
A number of causes are re
them is the near approach of the legis
lative reception, preparations for which have
diverted large amount of social energy
from its customary channels. About thirty
five hundred invitations have been issued
and acceptances are pouring in in large
numbers. The general interest aroused
gives ample assurance that this will be by fal
the most brilliant event of the winter
A second cause of present socia
stagnation arises from the genera
exodus of society people to the south, tht
number of departures during the past few
week assuming serious proportions when
viewed from this standpoint. The unexpected
postponement o: two important events, the
bachelors ball and the Windsor club re-
union, each Of which had aroused large de-
| gree of interest, caused still further falling
| of the society thermomete In spite of these
drawbacks, however, quite a number OF
| pleasant reunions and quiet gatherings fell
under the notice of the chr onicler.
