to Be the Gayest Of the
Season. I.

the shores of MinnetOnka. July has
been dull, but there is no doubt that
August will be very brilliant. Unless
the best of indications amount to moth
ing it will be the gayest month ever
known at Hotel St. Louis and Hotel
Lafayette. More people have come to
the hotels to stay in the past week than
in any three weeks since the season
opened. This tendency to make the
gay month August instead of July has
been pronounced in late years. 1t used
to be that all the people came in July,
and most of them departed about the
first of August. Now they do not begin
to come until the last week in July, and
they remain until Sept. 1. 1t is pretty
difficult to keep them after that.
The prettiest girl who has been at the
lake this season is Miss Carrie Gottlieb.
of Chicago. She is brunette, with
pure Grecian face, dark, changing eyes.
and perfect complexion. She is one of
the most graceful of women, and she
moves about with swaying, enigmat-
lcal motion that makes her doubly
charming. Miss Gottlieb created some
what of sensation, and had she re-
manned she would have undoubtedly
been the belle of the season at the lake,
but she returned home last week.
Among the other beauties who have at
traeted much attention is Miss Mitchell,
of Winona, daughter of Justice Mitch
ell, of the supreme court. She is a
lovely girl, with the most charming
manners.
There will be hutter in feminine
hearts in St. Paul and Minneapolis.
E. Park Won Wedelstaedt is engaged,
actually engaged to be married, and
the day for the wedding is fixed. He is
to marry Miss Name Mcclure, of ST.
Louis, a niece of Col. Dudley, of st.
Paul. She is very bright and tai
ented young lady, and, it is said, had no
end of money in her own name. She
has been at Hotel Lafayette since early
in the season, and there was never a
young lady there who became greater
favorite. Everybody knows Park
Wedelstaedt. In business he is Park
Wedelstaedt. Insoeety he is E. Park
Won Wedelstaedt. He is tall, hand
some, rather distingue in appear
ance, and dresses in perfect
but he is an excellent fellow. He
met Mrs. Mcclure at the Ryan last Win
ter, and friendship was started. I'm
mediately after her arrival at the lake
he became most asSiduOuS in his atten-:
tions, and the gossips began to talk.
Last week the engagement was an.
nOunced, and the hotel was startled, be-.
cause every one looked upon it as one
of those airy tribes known as a
summer affair."" And when the en-
gagement was followed by an announce
ment of the day of the wedding, people
were rendered quite speechless. The
marriage will take place Sept. %. a

Another good story is told upon Mr..
Won WedelStaedt. He goes to st. Paul
every day to attend to business and he
writes and telegraphs great deal. The
other day he sent telegram and signed
it 'BeesWax." The young lady who re-
and she asked several friends if they
had any aequaintances who bore the
sobriquet of "Beeswax." 1t was some
time before the recipient understood
the situation, and when she did she was
not as happy as she might have been.
A rival of Mr.. Wedelstaedt was mean
enough to inSinuate that the name was
appropriate. for he would melt if he
was warmed. This bold young man has
been cut by all the young ladies at the
lake, for you know ''all the world loves
a lover"
One of the familiar faces at Hotel
Lafayette this season is Mrs. S. M.
Nave, OF st. Joseph, Mo. This is the
third season she has spent at the lake.
She is not beautiful woman, but she is
a fascinating one. She is one of those
fortunates who are born to be leaders
in society, and the aptitude which she
displays for planning schemes for pleas
ure is something marvellous. She never
permits those about her to be bored, and
she is a tremendous favorite. She is
always the leader of the set, and cOnSe-
queptly she is pretty we'll known. She
has small son, too, who has a pretty
extended acquaintance. Mrs. Naye's
husband has lots of money. and she is
as devoted to society at ''St. Jo' as she
is at the lake: She was one of a party
which included Miss Mitchell, Mrs.
Nash, Col. Dudley and J. w. Blabon,
which went to the Derby Monday, and
they had a very gay time. and their
wagers were successful. In the even
ing they were entertained in st. Paul
by Col. Dudley. ''-'
Quiet Mr.. Waite is making things
hum about Hotel ST. Louis. No one
who has ever had charge of the hotel
has done so much with it as he. He not
only plans to bring people to the North,
but he takes the best of care of them
after they are there. For the past two
weeks he has devoted himself to making
four tennis courts near the hotel, and
they are among the finest in the North
west. He is bound that there shall be
a tennis tournament at the lake this
summer, and that it will be an important
one. The prizes will be of such nature
as to attract all the players in the North
west. The clubs in st. Paul and Min
neapolis have charge of the arrange
mentS, and they are making efforts
towards the success of the affair.
The opening date has been
definitely settled as Aug. 14,s
and it will continue two or three days.
1t is expected that over 100 players will
take part. The special regatta next
attention, and if there is good crowd
nearly every yacht OH the lake viii
start. Manager Wait has prepared al
elaborate menu which will be served at
2 o'clock to those actually taking part
in the race, and the ball i'll the evening
promises to be a particularly gay
affair. The trophy has not yet been
finished. When $3.50 is put in a silver
cup 1t is a pretty elaborate affair. A
particularly good programme has been
prepared for the concert, which viii
take place Tuesday night under the
direction of A. M. Shuly. "a
Handsome and jolly S. A. Harris, who
has charge of the Office at Hotel Lafay
cite, and his charming wife, and Miss
HaZeltine, her sister, were the guests of
Eugene F. Mehl on the steam launch
Kathleen one day last week. They
were only the four, but there was "mueh
hilaritie," as the menu card said. An
elaborate lunch was served upon the
boat, and there were luxuries galore,
with POntet, Canet and Pommery to
wash them down with. Mr.. and Mrs.
Harris are tremendous favorites' at
the hotel, as one young man expressed
it. Mr.. Harris is one of those saaye
men who can give man the worst room
in the house, and then smile on him so
sweetly that the guest hasn't the heart
