Upon Us.

Early June a Very Dull
Period for the Social
Votary.
Last Weeks Record Of Routs
and Balls. Personals and
Weddings.

June comes but once year. June is
q season OF itself and is the fairest of
the galaxy. 1t brings with it the flavor
of roses, early onions and the sweet
girl graduate. This otherwise estima-
bic month has very few social features
for the jewellers in cities, all sociability
having been transferred to where the
cool breeZes are advertised to dimDle
the swelling bOs0ms of the several
suburban lakes. But June brings the
sweet girl graduate, and that is bliss
enough TOR one month. 1t is not yet
June, but these dear little three-cOr-
nered notes are already flying about
gay notes in the sunbeam or fashion"
and orders are already in with the
mOdiSteS for the white lawns. mullS,
tulIes. Indian muslins, Swiss and other
gauZy fabrics without which the sweet
girl cannot properly graduate.
Last week was not prolific of events,
in q social way, though there were sew
eral very pleasant ones. The EIks' la
dies, social on Tuesday evening was
about the only large public affair,
though there were quite number of
weddings, numerous small parties and
pleasant class affairs at the nigh school,
A very pretty event is scheduled for the
Harris theater on June II. matinee for
the benefit of the Highwood Episcopal
church. 1t will be "A Dream OF Fair
w omen. The poem will be read by
Manly b. Curry, ana the characters in
this faVOTite production Of TennysOn S
Will be represented by number of the
society ladies' of ST. Paul. The
success OF the undertaking is al
ready assured, for the ladies in
terested in it never fail in what
they attempt to do. Mrs. Merriam has
consented to take part, and VIII repre-
sent Helen of Troy. A better choice
could not have been made for this ex-
acting character Joan of Arc will be
represented in Mrs. Selmes. and Mrs.
Auerbach Will be the famous Cleopatra.
The character of Queen Eleanor Will be
taken by Mrs. StTyker. Miss SDaulding
viii possibly be the fair Rosamond,
while OLher characters will be repre-
scented by Mrs. Curry and Miss Maud

DAYTON'S BLUFF ITEMS.
The Blake Choral club concert Thurs

The Blake Choral club concert Thurs
day evening was great success. The
programme was an excellent one, di-
vided into two parts. The opening item
was an anthem, praise Ye the Father
by the club, which was highly appre-
ciated, and at once demonstrated the ex-
cellent training which the members of
the chorus had undergone. 1t was I'M
fortunate, perhaps, that the club could
not command a more commOdiOuS place
In which to give the concert; as it was,
their singing was of too much volume
for the edlfice, and, consequently, could
not be enjoyed to the fullest extent it
deserved. The Christ church quartette
gave effective assistance. The members
of this quartette are G. L. Martin. first
L. Seixas. -Arst bass; }. G. Wall, second
bass. The quartette first rem
dered 1.-THE Water Mill" but was
heard later to better advantage in
a number of college songs. The
singing of Mrs. S. V. Harris was the
feature of the evening. This is the first
time that Mrs. Harris has been publicly
heard in st. Paul, but her singing mas
been heard by hundreds of delighted
guests in the Hotel Ryan. where her
husband is the chief clerk. Mrs. Harris
possesses charming soprano voice.
Her first rendition was solo: MY
Heart is Thy Home" which received
merited encore. Mrs. Harris subse-
quentiy gave: mon TornO. and again
was called upon to respond to the rap
turouS applause which greeted the solo.
The Beethoven String Quartette rem
dered several very acceptable pieces.
The quartette consists of Jacob Reuter-.
first violin; Gustaye Won Soctzen. Sec
ond violin; G. NJ. Selling, viola; Louis
Mich, cello. In addition to the anthem
rendered the choral club gave the fol-
lowing: Part song, ''Sir Knight, Sir
Knight" anthem. Praise We the
Downs" Prof. Blake must be COM
mended for the splendid manner in
which he had trained the chorus.
Miss Lolita Thomas. of Arcade street.
gave a birthday party Thursday even
ing, to her wide circle of friends.
Among those present were Misses
Emma Wilkes. Theresa Johnson, Ella
Smith, and Messrs. f. Smith. q. Wilkes.
f. Simpson and others.

If l were a kisser L would never use
tobacco excepting in the form of a
sweetly scented cigar. l would not
drink whisky or ''bitterS" of any kind.
I would lay myself away in lavender at
night and live on rose leaves by day.
And l would confine my osculatory ex-
ercises entirely to the house. Even
then they are trying enough, but in the
open street they are both startling to
the senses and injurious to the the tenn
per.
If were kisSer, would first aSeer-
tain to a mathematical certainty the
amount of willingness felt by the pro-
posed kiSsee in regard to the desired
measure: because, actually, women do
exist who have an innate and uncon-
querable antlpathy TO prOmiSeuouS oScI-
lation. They refuse to be kissed even
by rich bachelor uncleS from abroad.
They cannot be induced to appreciate
the benignant ministerial kiss, though
administered by lips as persuasive as
those of Robert COllyer or Phillips
Brooks. have seen feminine right
hand applied to a masculine right ear
in manner so yivacious and emphatic
that ii must have been exceedingly be-
Wildering to the proprietor OF that ear.
| would not presume to be kiSSer,
unless l were at least moderately good
looking. The kiss of handsome man
is far more easily forgiven than that of
a hOmely one. But, unfortunately, it is
almost invariably the latter who is most
addicted to the unsatisfactory exercise.
| once seated myself in a railroad car to
wait until the train should start, when
a man followed me into it, and. seating
himself beside me, modestiy inquired:
won't you please give me kiss?"
AS that singular request had never
been made to me before by a stranger
in railroad car, l was naturally some
what startled and sprang 10 my feet at
once. He did not offer to modest me,
however, but said, in reproachful tones,
Il should think you might give me a
kissr'
/ walked with rapid steps to the door, |
and hurrying out, l still heard the
mOurnful and unVarying refrain, II
should think you might give me kissl7
And so very reproachfui were the
tones that my heart really smote me d !
little for refusing to accommodate him. |
If he had not been so unpleaSantly and |
unpardonably homel de- |
pertinent saith not.
If were a kisser, would confine my |
delicate attentions exclusively to adults.
and not prosecute unOffending infants
although that caution, perhaps, is quite |
superiuous.
