cat Home takes pleasure in being able
to announce to our society people the re-
turn of Mr. Arthur Uhlig, the celebrated
pianist, of New York city, To ST. Paul,
where. fortunately for the lovers of the
terpSichorean art he has decided to take up
his permanent residence. Mr.. Uhlig will
be remembered as the great feature OF
Prof. Haskos dancing school, and to
whose inStrumentality the success of that
teacher was due in ST. Paul as in New
York and other of the large cities. In con-
versation with Mr.. Uhlig the past week,
the gentleman acknowledged his great fond
ness for our city and stated that he will hold
himself in readiness at any time to perform
on the instrument of which he is so great a
master. 1t is impossible. either for old or
young, to restrain from skipping the light
fantastic" at the sound of his inspiring
touch. and st. Paul may consider herself
fortunate indeed if able to induce this artist
to retain his present decision and number
himself one Of us.

a most enjoyable reception was given
yesterday afternoon and evening by Mr..
and Mrs j. \. Wheelock. at their resi-
dence, 42l Summit avenue The affair was
somewhat out of the usual line, no part of
the day being for lodies exclusively. Some
forty or fifty couples, many of them the
older and most substantial of st. PaurS
citizens, with, indeed good sprinkling of
the younger portion of society were pres
ent. The guests were entertained most
Hospitality and the affair could be classed
as decidedly recherche.

Society the past week, though not unusu-
ally active, somewhat revived fIOm the eff
tects of carnival and has been making the
best OF the time previous to Lent. We'd
neSday is the commencement and, during
the period of sack cloths and ashes dOings
by society, according to custom, will be
very limited and will prepare in its durance
for grand and final effort before the sum-
mer season comes and the season
of festivities ends. The approach
of Lent has given an incentatiyh
to progressive euchre and dancing parties,
and the week past has been a gay one,
generally, The feature of last week in
sOcialS was the reception and ball of the
Minnesota Boat club. which was the most
elegant affair ever given in the Northwest,
Over 900 people were present, which num-
Der included the elite of this and surround
ing states. Such affairs give ST. Paul the
precedence as a society city. and the only
fault that can be found is that there are not
more of them.
