LIFE AT WHITE BEAR.
Hotels are Full AND the Cottages
Have Many Hot Weather Visitors


personal Mention.
A great many visitors have arrived White
Bear lake during the week and some have
departed. The hotels are full and the
landlords only complain that they haven't
more room. The long list of Southerners
has begun to come, but many of them are
not stopping long in a place this year,
travelling about from one summer resort to
another, remaining only few days at any
one Of them. One of the things
talked of among the visitors is
that there has been no accident
on the lake this season, the drowning
of young Richardson not being considered
as such. The paStme of bathing is more
popular than ever this year. and especially
is this so among the ladies. Heretofore
the gentlemen bathed regularly, and the
children have sported about near the shore
in cunning bathing suits, which they still
continue, but this season bathing is popular
with the ladies. both young and older. A
large number of new bathing houses have
been built and others enlarged, and walk
around the shore any day will reveal numer-
Gus parties of ladies in the water up to their
neckS, splaShing about and assisting each
other in learning to swim. The girls from
IA to Is years old enjoy this sport keenly,
as, indeed, it would seem all the ladies do,
from the duckingS they give each other and
the merry voices and laughter
which come from their direction.
Boating is more popular than ever and the
only difference in this sport from last sea-
son is that the ladies generally do the row.
ing. 1t is quite the proper thing for a lady
to ask gentleman for a row and then to
let him lounge in the stern and smoke his
cigar while she wieldS the blades. This is
particularly agreeable to those gentlemen
who attend to business regularly in the
city each day, and they appear to enjoy be-
ing rowed much better than rowing. Sail
ing comes in also for its share and almost
nightly parties are made up containing
some musical instruments, and they go
skimming about the lake making the surface
| lively with music and singing. For these
parties the larger yachts are greatly in de-
mand. Some lady arranges the party and
invites enough to fill the boat.
