Two Eastern Men Pause to Worship Min.
nesota Beauty.
A well-formed young lady, with very
black hair and eyes. pretty complexion
and pair of rosy cheeks, made her way
along Third street yesterday. She was at
tired in close-ftting white blanket garment
of the redingote order, which displayed her
figure to its best advantage. The garment
was trimmed with red and blue, the capote
being of white flannel, with red and blue.
About her waist was twisted a red sash,
and toque of the same color was pulled
down over her head and ears Her feet
were encased in small moccasins and above
their top was visible rim of red stocking
that encircled a very plump and shapeiy
ankle. She walked along apparently OBJ
hvious of the fact that the weather was very
cold. Her cheeks glowed from their con-
tact with the cold air, but, aside from this,
she gave no sign that the mercury In the
Thermometers had dropped to % degs. below
zero Two men-strangers to the city
passed her. They failed to notice her as she
approached, and caught the first sight of
her as she passed them They were bundled
up from head to foot. Just below their tall
beaver hats they wore ear muffs; about
their necks were muffiers. They turned as
the gayly-attired young lady made her
way by them. She had hardly passed out
of hearing distance when one of the men,
addressing his companion said:
''Hello, Bill What kind of circus was
.hatl'
"That's no circus Charley" replied Bill.
She is part of the ice palace"
What are you giving uss That girl
i've in any ice palace"

know the winter carnival don't you! Well,
that girl belongs to some carnival club. She
is out in her club Uniform"
''Well. she's mighty pretty, and don't you
forget it for a holy minute" exclaimed
Charley.
The last word had hardly been uttered
when very taking blonde, with fair COM
plexion, light hair and blue eyes appeared
just ahead Of them in a blue blanket COS
tune, with white and red trimmings They
craned their necks as she passed along, per-
fectly unconscious of their presence and
existence. From that moment each one of
the visitors had his eyes open for every
woman in carnival costume. They traversed
the entire. length of Third street, and
passed and observed representatives Of
nearly all the winter clubs in ths city
They paid not the least attention to the
male repfesen tatives of the club, no matter
how well they appeared or how attractive
their costumes But the female members
passed not by them without being duly in
spected.
Throughout the afternoon the female men,
bers of the. many toboggan and skating
clubs walked through the public streets, all
dressed in their c. ub costumes As long as
the gayly attired club members appeared
= fro,
the east were unable to leave the street.
AS they were still intent on watching the
pass ng female tobogganers an1 skaters a
St Paul man stepped up to one of them,
and. reaching down for handful OF snow,
applied the snow 10 the strangers nose
The st Paul man simply SAID, Your noze
