Doubtless you have noticed how nat
urally Minnesota people generally, and
st: Paul people particularly, take to for
eign travel. In fact, there are a good
many st. Paul people who are better ac-
quainted with the natural attractive
ness of Europe than that of their own
country. Numerous st. Paul people go
over every summer regularly, and it
would be difficult to board any one of
the. popular transatlantic steamers ''in
the season. without finding a repre-
sentative of the SANITY City on board.
But have you noticed that there is one
thing in which the feminine portion of
Ine 81. Paul European contingent diff
fers from those from other sections of
the country? The difference lies in
this, that it is the height of
nearly every other fair Americans
ambition when she goes abroad to be
presented to Queen VICTORIA. But of all
tne scores OF st. Paul women who have
gone across, not one has had any desire

has taken no steps to crafty it. The
Whisperer understands, however, that
this record is to be broken, and that
1alr maid of st. Paul, who is well
known and popular, will be in London
during the queens next drawing room.
and will duly make her courtesy before
her redundant majesty. You would
know her in minute if her name were

worldly advantages which BLANK, ST.,
supposed son of his ought to enjoy.
But the young man was of a different
mind, though, for policy's sake, he had
seemed to fall in with his fathers ideas.
In the meanwhile he had found his fate

business house. Before his father even

gagged to her. Now for the sequel.
BLANK, Jr., was out of town one day on
business when a letter came to the
office addressed simply to BLANK. The
old man naturally read it. In unmis-
taxable terms it spoke of the attachment
between the writer and the supposed
recipient. 1t even went so far as to
discuss certain plans, whose completion
