| sight of his woes in the contemplation of a
pretty woman in pink tights and curly
blonde wig, but Pnkie recalled him to his
sorrows, Just when the tights and wig were
striking their most fascinating attitude, by
a loud demand for bananas. Contrary to
his expectations the weary, dreary, hot
afternoon did at last wear away; it was
with heartfelt sigh of relief that he bore
Pinkie and his cane from the noisy crowd,
and he now meditates publishing a treatise
on the improprieties and immoralities of the
circus and its untitness as a.place OF resort
for females of uncertain age.

The girls are getting out their broad
trimmed shade hats, and it must be con-
fessed that some Of them in this style of
headgear forcibly remind one of toad under
a mushroom.

There are bold and unscrupulous persons
who dare to assert that the undeniable dull
ness of st. Paul society Is due to the fact
that its members spend the greater part of
their time in endeavoring to steer clear Of
hapless individuals who rightfully belong q
notch beneath them in the social scale, the
degrees of the scale being usually repre-
sented by dollars and cents.

In the selection of your parasols, at least,
you are not hampered by custom OF tradi-
ton, but can give full scope to your widest
vagaries and indulge to the utmost your ar
tistic fancies. If you delight in color you
can invest in pagodas OF exquisite change
| able silk. blue and fawn, black and gold,
crimson and gray, and countless other COM
| binationS with dull Silvery CLEANS beauti-
fully brought out In the sunshine; elegant
| affairs OF lace dead black, white over blue,
or scarlet over white, tempt you to reckless
extravaganza; the pongees with deep falls
OF ecru lace are cool, pretty and serviceable,
while perfectly irresistible are the fOulard
silks, especially one which has a
center of china blue with deep
border of white, the two colors being
separated by band of fern leaves in pale
| grayish greens, or another shows white
above and pale pink beneath. the ground
being strewn with tiny haf-opened moss rose
buds, a wide ruffle of white lace finishing the
edge; even black silk umbrellas have their
panels lined alternately with scarlet and
gold and made still more brilliant with
painting or embroidery. A craven image,
to say nothing of poor weak woman,
couldn't withstand such lOveliness.

More than one of the old high school
| scholars not graduates has remarked that
the alumni are always blissfully ignorant of
their existence till they want to raise a sum
| OF money and name for generosity, when
they suddenly discover that students who
have partially completed the course really
deserve to share in some of the rights and
privileges of the alumni.

| Coronhi,,o who hos hoord frnr, hor
Eastern cousins that it is quite the correct
thing, is learning to play banjo. The
neighbors find anything after that piano
a relief. and Seraphine's mother says she
enjoys the banjo very much indeed, for
| while the piano was so far away from the
| kitchen that she lost many Of the tenderer
passages. the dear child now comes out in
the dining-room to practice and by leaving
| the door ajar she can hear beautifully.

The land is full OF the rustic of white
muslin, and as the ruthless paragraphist
makes his horrid jokes about the ''Sweet
| girl graduate" nIOmentOuS questions con-
| corning slippers, gloves and stockings are
| agitating countless gentle bosoms. The fit
of the gowns and the setting of ribbons Oc-
casion more anxious thought than the COM
position of the prize essay, and it's re-
markable girl whom the handsomest dress
and the most generous bestowal of flowers
will not console for the loss of the valedic-
tory, for who that gazes upon her full
length photograph that she has taken clad
in that exquisite frOck, with her diploma in
her hand and surrounded by all those mag
nificent flowers, will doubt that she grad
uated with the highest honors?

1t is an interesting fact to note that when
ever party of men boards street car the
one who insists the loudest upon paying for
the crowd never has any change or is so
long in finding his pocket-book that some
body else puts up the fares.

And speaking of car fares, still apropos is
that little story they tell of young society
man who is more noted for the possession of
wealth than the ease with which he parts
with it. 1t seems that he was one day in
such a hurry to deposit his nickel before the
entrance of the other boys that he dropped
in the box S. gold piece. The boys at
once tumbled, and severally rushed off to
the companys Office to claim the money, so
that when the rightful owner presented
himself there were five or six claimants be-
fore him. No outsider could determine to
whom the money belonged, so the aforesaid
boys enjoyed the sight of their young friend
on tepter-hooks for week OF more before
they allowed him to obtain his own.
