What fortune to the poor romantic Young
man who VIII be steward of it. / am sure
you would not permit your husband
TO work for-I hardly can say it
81 per day and live, according
10 some doctrines. on bread and water
But, Oh, the description of the home you
yearn for; would il were realized. ] must
say you are very, indeed, very romantic and
can AFFORD it with your splendid financial
backing. Still you made one sad mistake.
Inc everyday young men," and they are
the majority, look for something more than a
romantic wife. His first wish is to have a
companion and friend that can appreciate
him. his tastes and views He wants q wife
who knows more than TO read books and paint
or play the piano. He desires a housekeeper
who knows how TO keep things tidy and can
manage to live within their means. Truly,
the originator of the ice palace marriage
scheme deserves blessing, and AT Home has
my best wishes to success. But If there is
such thing that he should not meet with
your romantic dream, and chance is left TO
others. the undersigned will CALAMITY and
fearlessly enter the ranks to win the heart
and hand Of the young, beautiful, romantic
and blase, May Is. S. FRANK WILSON.
st. Paul, Feb. Il.
There is some talk among the society
ladies of organizing club and securing and
fitting up club rooms like those of the
Chamber club in New York The sug-
gestion was made by a society belle visiting
in st. Paul recently from New York. and
serious considerations have been given
about acting Oh the suggestion. 1t would
be quite a thing for ST. Paul and would
have the effect of making her society the
first in the country. If such a club was or
ganiZed it would develop upon il 10 enter
tain while visiting here, society people from
other cities in the country. This would give
ST. Paul a reputation it could be proud of.

The dress-coat is getting to be more and
more disturbing element. 1t came TO the
fore recently in a most annoying but very
amusing instance of mistaken identity. 1t
happened at a large party, and is best told
by the hostess herself. 1t was something
dreadful. You canuot imagine my mOrti-
fication,' she said, with flushed cheeks. but
eyes brimful of merTlment, as she recalled
the ludcrOus scene. Il suppose / made the
awful blunder all through my nervous de-
sire to have things just right that evening,
for / knew the house would be full Of
guests. DemOnet had charge of the sup
perrOOm and the dancing-TOOms up stairs.
1t was early. so L slipped away from the
drawing-rOOm and went back 10
take a last satisfied look up stairs.
Turning to go down. 1 met a per-
son who bowed with great deal of manner.
/ thought. and even smiled recognition.
L was surprised. but, of course returned his
salutation, and added the passing remark,
Il hope the guests will be well served this
evening. Please have the tables look nice"
He looked puzzled, and not making any re-
ply, 1 continued: ''Oh, l presume you are
TO look after the rooms up here" There
was then such an expression of amused as
aiCfar
flashed over me that he was not the waiter.
and the next instant his name came to my
mind. Good heavensl had the floor opened
and swallowed me out of sight it would
have heen a boon. L get faint when
/ think of mIstaking my husbands
friend for a waiter. He laughed, so
that | rallied and said: my dear Mr..
Blank, can you forgive me?" But DemOneTs
men are so handsome and so gentlemanly,
and, OH these dresS-cOatS make no diStinc
ton at ALL" Then | asked him to give me
his arm, and we went down together. But,
mo dear. if l live a thousand years I'll
never forget that terrible mistake. Some
thing certainly must be done about the
dress-coat. Some of the walters are so
swell in their good clothes and manners
that there's knno owing them from gentle
men sometimes. Ii some man of influence
could only start in with the knee-breeches,
/ believe there would be a revolution. and
the dress-cOat put down or relegated eXclu-
siyely to walters. Who knows how soon l
shall err in the other direction, and apollo
giZe TO waiter for calling him a gentle
man. In Washington they are so much
alike, you know"

The romance of the ice carnival is about
wearing off of society, and the next week
will perhaps be devoted to making plans
for the future While the enthusiasm was
so intense with everything connected with
carnival doings the vivid imaginations of
society people could invent new schemes
for frolic, but now they will have ample
time. and before Lent comes good use of the
tempus medius will be made.
