nivaI week.
While the carnival lasts progressive
euchre and other modern popular enter
taipments will be superseded by toboggan
parties. The latter not only affords more
real enjoyment to the square inch than any
of the parlor games, but gives bloom and life
like color to those who have not been ac-
customed to participating in such sport.
The lady who can sit comfortably on a
toboggan and steer it down the incline, and
not let it upset wins the admiration of the
gentlemen.

In last Sundays GLOBE AT Home
offered prize to the couple who would
consent to have their wedding ceremony
performed in the ice palace. The offer is
bona fide one. and AT Home will not go
back on his word. Several applications
have been received Of highly satisfactory
nature, of which the following is a fair
sample:
AT Home-In answer to your suggestion in
to-day's GLOBE / wish to inform you that i
am willing TO get married in the ice palace
providing that you win find me wife to
whom / would suit and who would suit me.
So If you agree. get to work, and let the
ladies know that / am between % and 80
years old, occupying paying position and
belong to good and respectable family. 1
am in search of a good wife, whom, am
confident, would make happy. Remember,
this is no chestnut. /.

At Home did not state he would provide
the bride, he has been TOO busy searching
for one for himself and is still in the ring.

cant and would gladly assist him were he
able. The want columns of the GLOBE are

palace ever built III the United States
would be an event to be proud of and as it
is the intention of the carnival association
to hold twenty-nine more, the tin, crystal
and silver weddings could be celebrated
within the future castles. When gentle
man receives the consent OF lady to JON
him in wedlock in the palace, he should not
fail to inform At Home at once and he will
not only have the prize he offers ready, bat
banquet given TO the bride and groom i'm
mediately after the ceremony, at the Ryan.

The street cars the past week have been
overcroWded and the poor Tom Lowry
mules have mad more than they could do at
times TO haul the cars and their occupants
up the hill. On Monday evening after the
parade about fifty people crowded into a
ST. Anthony hill car at the corner of Fourth
and Wabasha streets. The load was so
heavy the mules could not start and the
driver invited the gentlemen to help shove.
There were five Stalwart gentlemen, who
are well-known society men, crowded in
one corner, and they got out and helped
start the car. They were crowded bad as
ever when they got IN, and one OF them.
who is perhaps the best known. was pushed
against a lady. She very ini-
politely requested the gentleman
l.,
ing against him. He informed her it was
utterly impossible to resist. out it was COM
pulsory on his part he said. She was very
angry when he was again pushed against
her and even became so desperate as to
strike him. He said: MADAME, do not
fatter yourself, if l was anxious to crowd
some one l would make aIIerent selec-
ton. / think a gentleman is entitled to all
the privileges of standing in a car, and
while have a great admiration for ladies
! am very choice in my selection" The
ladywas so embarrassed that to escape recog-
milton she covered her face with veil.

The Jackson street roller rink, the only
one open, enjoyed a big boom last week.
All those in from the country towns who
have known no other amusement the past
few years than roller skating, visited the
rink en- masse when nothing else was do
ing, and enjoyed themselves better in this
way than they could possibly in any other.
They are acquainted with the sport, and
appreciate ii more than st. Paul people do.

1t is very nice to see the young ladies
with their attractive tobOggan costumes
parade the streets. These winter costumes
look much better on the ladies than on the
gentlemen, though on the latter they are
4fv,. HI.
cess of the carnival is assured, as the ladies'
have entered into the enjoyments of the
season with an enthusiastic spirit; without
them the carnival would be very tame. Be
fore the opening of the palace remarks were
frequently made that st. Paul ladies did
not understand riding down slides OF
toboggans, but they have demonstrated
their ability TO do so with as much grace as
the accomplished Montreal fair ones.

Despite the toboggan sentiment that has
prevailed in st. Paul during the past week,
society has had its indoor pleasures. The
large number of friends and relatives visit
ing from distance to nearly every society
family in the city. acted as an incentive t.
the parlor entertainments, which were very
scarce week or two ago. Nearly every
person had some one to entertain, and 81
the general round of society doings.
