for they shall be more than satisfied. A
season of glorious inactivity is being most
elegantly enjoyed by all except the poor
scribes who are expected to find and serve
up news when there is none to find. There
is only one consolation for the scribbler and
that is the prospect of a more than usually
gay fall and winter. Plans are already
being matured for the cool season, and the
prospect is exceedingly good for the record
ing of elegant festivities, when a score oil
more of st. PaulS young people shall
assume the vincuum matrimoni. | might
give away quite a list of parties who will
slip their giddy heads into the silllen nuptial
moose, but promised L would not, so they
may have Il little more time for summer

I heard last week OF a very beautiful and
accomplished young st. Paul lady whose
friends had effected a settlement with fool
ish sutton. who had twice reiterated just as the
nuptial knot was to be tied. She received
the pretty sum Of 1000. and in addition to
the money he gave up. he has forever lost
the opportunity of possessing one OF the
incest girls that ever graced a home. She
is TO be congratulated and he cOmmiSerated.

At one of the prettiest and most comfort
able camps on the shores of Minnetonka
they prepare a most appetiZing dish. 1t is
called an Indian bake,' and it is so ex-
tTemeIy delicious that / must tell you how
to make it. First catch some nice plump
fish and clean them. take large fiat rock
and cover it with about an inch of clay. On
this place a layer of fresh leaves and put
the fish thereon. Cover with another layer
of leaves and another inch of clay. Now
build fire over the arrangement and smack
your lips for about half an hour, when you
will find the fish cooked to perfection and
anxious to be eaten with butter and season.

Speaking of eating. /. was in a down.
town restaurant few days since and heard
the walters ordering 1.-TWO individuals"
Zone individual with green peas" etc.
Thoughts Of cannibalism rather distressed
me, and ! became curious to learn what sort
Of individuals were being devOured so
rapidly. interviewing the waiter 1 was
much relieved to find that the professional
contraction Of individual was chicken pie. a
dainty and delicious dish, cooked in small,
deep receptacleS, and was convinced that
it was neat and elegant way to serve the
delightful combination.

A walk from st. Anthony hill down town
these beautiful mornings is truly delightful.
The air is simply glorious and nature is
charmingly amiable. IL is needless to say
that the companioDship Of young lady in
a fresh, snowy costume, brightenS the oc-
casiOn very materially. L enjoyed all of
this blisSful combination the other day,
and was greatly entertained by the merry
prattle Of my pretty comrade. do you
know Mr.. At Home" said she, 'that 1 al
ways try to make my visits down town as
early as possible in the morning and l in
variably walk. Why, L would not miss the
three little floral gems on the route fol-
anything. l cross the two tiny parks, one
at Summit avenue and the other at city
hall, and / always feel grateful to Aid.
Van Slyke. l call them Van Sykes
smiles and wish he had good big park
to beautify. 50 he could show lis a bright.
hearty laugh Then when l get to the foot
of the hill among a lot Of unattractive build
ings l mentally thank Mrs. Hewitt for the
beauty spot she maintains at the corner of
Oak street. Isn't it an oasis?" You will
feel bright and cheerful all day long after
one of these lovely morning walks.
~
think the best thing this generation can
DO is to give Aid. Van Slyke carte blanche
to proceed to lay out and adorn Como
park. He has made thorough study of
the subject and will produce something
that the city will be proud of. He would
have a museum, a geological department
and thousand beautiful and instructive
features. Nature has been lavish in her
gifts, and the work of embellisling should
be commenced at once, and it will be q long
time before we find in our midst man 81
devoted and competent as is Mr.. Van
Slyke.

inspected yesterday one of the most ele-
CANT apartments in the palatial hotel
RYAN" 1t was the ladies' ordinary and
the ladies must feel complimented on the
taste laviShed in its decoration. 1t was first
used on Friday evening, although in an I'M
finished state, and the last touches Will not
be made until the middle of this week. II

ing great windows on two sides. The lofty
ceiling is eXquisitely frescoed in subdued
tintS. with two very artistic circular panels

tic and appropriate designs in rich color
ing. Cleaning gold embelliShes the en-
semble, and Mr.. Stephan, the artist sent by
j. u. Sullivan u Bro, appears to have
worked con amOre in decorating this room
for the fair sex. The woodwork is polished
cherry, massive and elegant, and the walls
and frieZe are decorated with heavy en-
bossed paper, the one in solid maroon and
the other IN a delicate brown. Two
massive pillars, deliberately ornamented.

Mr. VIII Kemp has astonished his friends
Y developing a talent which none knew he
J. assessed. He has produced an exquisite
picture in colors of Nh. d. Ii. Moon of the
firm of Allen, Moon ~ Co., representing
that gentleman on his ''annual hunt al
Michigan City," While Mr.. Kemp has
made picture quite artistic in finish and
co!or. he has not met with eminent success
III reproducing the handsome and striking
features Of Mr.. Moon. His future ATTEMPTS
will undoubtedly be more satisfactory and
great results are expected from the picture
he now has on his easel, which represents
Col. George B. Clason wearing white hat
and gold-headed cane. 1t will rival
Raphael in cherubic effect.
