II E2lttISs-uAA1.I ny events of more or
|/| 1sGnless prominence in
the social world are set for this week,
which promises to be equally active with
the past. Dancing parties, teas and re-
ceptionS seem to be the favorite methods of
entertaining. Some attempts were made
early in the summer to hold lawn parties,
but the elements were unpropltlouS, cOpl-
Gus rain falling on the evenings set for sew
eral of those entertainments, and since then
most hOStesses have arranged to entertain
their guests within doors. This form of
gathering has its advantages where there
are ample grounds. The evenings are al
most invariably cool, and guests dsperse
themselves over the grounds very readily.
In this manner hostess with limited house
room can entertain large number OF
guests in a very satisfactory way.
-
In the large Eastern cities gentlemen of
social standing make ordinary evening calls
III evening dress. This custom seems to be
coming into vogue in st. Paul. The pro-
priety of a gentleman being on the street
land not in carriage) in all evening dress
is questionable. Hence, calling in even
ing dress entails carriage. and where one
has large circle of lady friends, and pre-
tends to make practice of paying them
his respects periodically. his livery bill as
sumes large proportions. There are in st.
Paul many young society men who have
their own way to make in the world, whose
capital consists of good native pluck and
perseverance,. but unless these can be turned
into dollars they are not legal tenders for a
livery bill. Consideration for a hostess
should always be first thought of by a gen.
tleman calling, but the fact that ones in
come should always exceed his expenses
must also be taken INTO consideration. AS
one swallow does not make a summer, or
even several, gentlemen adopting this prac-
tice does not make it custom.
