Social Matters Frightening up With
the Advent of Cooler Weather.

Social Matters Frightening mp with
the Advent of Cooler weather.
The cool weather of last week gave quite
an impulse to matters social, and several
elegant affairs took place. Most OF the
parties were given in honor of visitors who
have been spending some time in the city
and who were thus afforded opportunities OF
meeting the friends and acquaintance they
had made here during the season. Few OF
the city people have as yet abandoned tnelr
lake villas for their city residences and, as
much hot weather NAV yet be expected, it
is not probable that society will settle to Its
regular routine gayeties until late in Sep
tember. Progressive euchre will again be
very fashionable this winter and 1t VIII Oil
vide honors with vingtun, delightful game
~shich came into popularity in st. Paul late
last season. The german still remains in
vogue and the initial dancing party with
this as a feature will be given this week.

It is truly a matter for regret that the
choral society has practically ceased to
exist. as the practice was of the greatest
advantage to the singers OF the city. 1t
appears to be impossible to conceive any
plan by which the public can be induced 10
support the society, by attending concerts,
making a sufficient guarantee fund or other
wise. The good work OF the last two years
sb0uId not be lost, and the fact that a So
cietv of the kind exists will give prestige
To the city among cultured people almost
beyond ANYTHING else. Why would it not
be 4 good plan for the members of the old
society to organize, make a bargain at
simulated amount for director and pianist,
agree upOn a price for the use of hall and
then assess those who desire to have the
benefit of the rehearsals, requiring payment
ALWAYS i'm advance. If SeVenty-tiVe or one
hundred were thus to club together the
sum required would be but a trifie, and
then. if il were decided to give one or more
concerts, they would be matters for after
consideration. Keep up the practice at all
events, and keep out Of debt at all haz-
ards.
The ST. Paul Dramatic club, which has
for years past been our chief and reliable
resource for social amusement during the
long winter months, will soon hold its an
nual meeting of charter members to decide
what has become a pretty serious matter IN
the clubs future-the questinn of filling
the Office of stage manager From past eX-
perience it has been found almost an utter
the club to fill the Office satisfactorily to
himself and friends, and at the same time
attend to his personal affairs: and yet,
when the management is placed in the
hands of a certain selected few none seem
10 feel the responsibility, and, as in the case
of last year, our amateur boards are Occu-
pied by any and everything so it is some
thing to ''fiIl up." We have in st. Paul,
TO very remarkable degree, a large amount
of amateur talent. and it is to be hoped our
Dramatic club will take careful and active
measures to secure the services OF some one
fitted to grasp and take it in charge, and
who will present during the coming long
season of winter, performances which will
be source of agreeable remembrance in
the future.

Tramps are proverbially the most modest
people existing. but heard of one the other
day who somewhat destroyed their reputa-
ton for baShfulneSS. This specimen was
fat dirty, lazy individual and he entered
tie residence Of a most worthy lady with
ont waiting to be invited. The lady and
her niece were in their sitting-rOom and the
intruder pumped himself down into an
easy chair. demanding something to eat.
lie was informed that if he would proceed
L. the kitchen he could have bread and but
ter and coffee. The lazy chap made no
movement 10 go, but impudently called to
the young lady, and holding up his dirty,
ragged coat demanded that she should sew
a button on it. The advent of gentleman
who happened to be passing, and was called
in. rescued the ladies from what would
probably have proved more than unpleas-
ant for the good ladies.

most graceful and elaborate ever held in ST.
Paul.
The german to be given next Tuesday
evening at Sieberts hall promises to be the
event Of the fail season. The management
is in the hands OF able gentlemen, who are
leaving no efforts untried to secure brilliant
success for their endeavors. The ladies
are doing their share in the preparation of

probably surpass anything that has been
seen on our ''cotillion boards" The ger
