sL-rc would be but one answer as to the
eligibility as SHitoT for the hand of
s. Paul heiress. Of the youth who is
straight of limb, comedy of person, but
a iiGtie short. In America, however,
there Is a tacit recognition OF the fact
that the dear girls may choose for them
selves. albeit they are expected to
choose wisely. Thus in many instances
they have chosen in giving themselves
and their dollars TO youths of muscle
ana brains. whose most conspicuous
traits. prIOr to the performance OF the
marriage ceremony, were the shabbl-
4css of their dress suits. the tenacity of
their hold on the outskirts OF society,
aid the ardoT Of their passions for the
dair maids who yielded at last.
Il has been frequently said by visitors
from the East aud West that nowhere is
there Il city h0nOred as the home of so
1nauv girls who are at once beautiful,
wealthy and accomplished equally with
81 Paul.
speaking of girls whose charm of
manner is equal to their great beauty of
form aud feature, there IS one among the
many in ST. Paul in whom these qualities
are proverbial. and bef name is Kitty
giiifilian. She is Il daughter of Chief
Justice GilfilIan, Of the supreme court,

lar young ladies in the city. The young
gCcIinvar introduced by Cupid to the

Then there is Miss Finch, daughter of
the dry goods prince. When she mar

SCISSOR of a blonde beauty sufficiently
charming in itself. She is now at school

The Young men OF the SANITY City
ar. it must De said, heavily handi-
ranped in the race for favoI with local
hejresses by the fact that many of the
lattcr spend a great deal of their time
an Europe. That dueeTiy compiled little
ErancO-AmerIcan community in Paris
has charms untold for those who have
n,ca experienced the pleasure of a
season under its regime. Some prefer

Talking of girls who are about as
much at home in the champs ElyseeS or
Hyde Park as on Summit avenue in
shcir native city. there is Miss Katherine
t.OrdOn. She is society leader by
divine right wherever and whatever
that society may be. 1t is matter of
conjecture alone how many Italian
counts. French maTquises or German
princelets have laid their ancient
nameS, depleted Golfers and ardent
passions at her feet; any girl whose
marriage portion comes up to about
Sf5OG0O is bound to have had expert
puces of that sort. Any how, the fair

Probably one of the handsamest
girls in this city of fair women is Miss
Josie KalmaR. Aside from the fact
that she will have in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 on the day
she marries, she is the pOssessOr of
a pair of eyes whose glance is death to
the peace of the luekEess mortal upon
