Use ~ most convenient place in
Sf-ssSSSp/ which to get joined for
life. st. Paul has become
famous in a quiet way for this, and 1t was
nicely illustrated last week, when an in
dustriOuS youth from Dakota met bis pros
pective bride from the East and the twain
went together to the modest parlor OF
pleasant minister and became linked
in holy bonds. You see, 1t
saves expense. Otherwise it would be
necessary for the groom, who doubtless
had left behind his trusting girl IN New
England years ago to go West ana MAKE
home for both on the sunny pralrles or Da-
kota, or among the mighty mountains OF
Montana, to pay his car fare all the way
East and back again, instead OF only pay
ing as far as St. Paul and return for HIM
self. and his brides fare one way only
westward. And then, they can be married
lust as well. OF, as the ministerial gentle
man facetiouSly puts it. the job can be just
as neatly done here as anywhere else. Not
very long ago young couple from Mime
gpOlis. accompanied by two witnesses rep
reseuting both sexes. drove around by way OF
the panoramic scenery of Fort Smelling, and
I'D the shady avenue of the old fort road, until
they eventually fetched up" in the heart
of ST. Paul. at the residence of very pop
ular PRESBYTERIAN minister, where the Gus
tomary ceremony was performed, the wit
neSSes signing the document. A few weeks
later the tables were reversed, and the pre-
viOuS witnesses, wearing bridal costumes,
drove to st. Paul. accompanied by the pre-
ViOuS contracting parties, who this time
signed their names to Marital Contract
No. ,.
OF course there will be many novel feat
ureS in the way of costumes during the
coming carnival One gentleman-proba-
bly, the only person who could have sug-
gested it-made a proposition last week to
get up something altogether unique. st.
Paul bellies would, without moving facial
muscle, pronounce it lust too odd
for any use." The idea of
this gentleman is that there should
be a club of vegetables and fruits; that is,
whose members would wear head dresses
and costumes. manufactured Of papler
mache, resembling every known specie of
fruit and vegetable-pear, turnIp. an ear
of corn, sheaf of wheat and all the rest OF
the category-So that under the numerouSly
hued gas illuminations some frigid winter
night, there might be parade OF these
ridiculous but mirth-provOking things
in their proper order OF process
sion in the magnificent turnout.
He not only proposed it, but he conferred
with a well-known young society man,
who is something of a hustler" and ar
engagements are being made to start the
club at once. In this connection one might
ask, why can not the young ladies of each
club get up carnival sewing circles and make
for their gentlemen friends winter cos
tunes. vari-cClOred much embelliShed and

Most of the popular mOdistes of this city
have gone to New York to examine the new
fall STYLES, colors and materials. Each of
these ladies when she returns will be a fund
of interesting information. Very little diff
ference seems to have been made in the
STYLES of ball costumes. The numerous
brilliant social events which will
enliven the coming winter will probably
produce the same apparent effect. Soft,
fluffy goods, wooden fabrics, Nile green,
turquoise blue and light straw albatrosseS, all
of beautiful effect, and with an improve
ment in tinenesS of texture. will be the
rage this winter at ball parties.
