"AT HOME"
Bare Existence Alone Was Burden
During the Heated Part of
the Week,
And There We're Few Society Events in
the City-Lake Hotels
Filled.
Points of Personal Nature on Those
Who Are Here and
Elsewhere.
Cottages at White Bear and at
Gossip of the
Summer.
Ont of the Civ.


The past week has been all unusually
quiet one, as far as social doings are con-
cerned. The intense heat of the first part
of the week precluded any other thought
than how to exist, to say nothing OF how to
enjoy life. The encampment of the First
regiment of the state militia at White Bear
lake has been the cause of taking to that
resort tor short time many who otherwise
would not go there. The wives, sisters,
mothers and other female friends of the
citizen soldiery are anxious to see how their
part of the national guard conduct them
selves in the face of an imaginary foe, feel
ing, doubtless, that should a real foe be
met. his presence would act on the embryo
soldier as does red flag before the lord CT
the bovine species. Whatever the motive
for their presence, the ladies were there in
legiOnS. 1t used to be customary for the
ladies to clip button from the uniform of
each son of Mars, whose heart seemed to
be hers for the time being, but it has in a
measure died out. IT'S said that many a
soldier, under cover of the courage uni
form is supposed to impart, had told his
little story.

Did any maiden have the experience of
one at West Point some time ago? A young
woman who had accepted the inequalities
of the corps of cadets of graduation had
been the object of marked attention from
one of this graduating class. Just prior to
her departure from the point the aforesaid
graduate requested that she stroll with him
through Filtration Walk" While so di-
verting themselves the young warrior de-
clared himself and was met by commiser-
ating look from pair of large brown eyes,
a gentle refusal from pair of pouting lips
which said how surprised she was at such
an unexpected declaration. and how sorry
she felt that he should entertain such senti-
ments towards her. BE entirely at ease,
my dear Miss Blank" the warrior says,
Its only a compliment we cadets pay to
every young lady who visits the Point"
