Society in Summer.
The past week has been somewhat active
socially, there having been numerous enter
tainmentS of various kinds The breaking
up of city establishments and removing to
1.-The lakes still goes on. The season al
White Bear, especially, promises to be one
Eof unusual activity, and Minnetonka will
sdraw its usual crowd from Southern cities,
Eand in addition its proportion of new seek
EerS after refuge from the heat. st. Paul
kpeople who do no more than pass an occa-
Esional night at the lakes take great interest
In arrivals, as some friend is recognized in
almost every days newcomers. Invitations
are out for the opening hop at Hotel La
faYette Saturday, July 3. About 1900
were sent out, and large and brilliant
party is beingprepared for.

Marriages are sometimes said to be of &C.
Elestial origin. If this is true the powers
THAT be must have given st. Paul a more
kthan casual glance, for it has assuredly had
fits quota lately, and several more are on
the tapiS. Nothing seems to have the
Epower to arouse society people during a
season of lethargy more than a few mar
rlageS, especially among its Well-known
EmemberS. Interest of course centers in the
bride, but the groom now and then comes
lin for a few remarks of casual nature,
should he be stranger, or one of especial
tprominence at home. The bridesmaids are
Ealso very worthy of remark, and on many
occasions divide the honors with the bride.

Where @ large reception at private
house follows prominent wedding it is
loften questionable as to whether the pres
ents should or should not be displayed. The
fgiver of a rich and beautiful gift has no
reason to fear an unfavorable comparison
tOf his gift with one less rich and beautiful.
But the reverse of this is not always true,
whatever it should be, and pride or a desire
to rival a rich neighbor often leads to the
bestowal of gift beyond ones means.
Anything tending to lessen the pleasure of
a guest is to be avoided by cultivated host
OF hostess.
