SAINT PAUL.
SOCIAL SALAD.

There was gaiety at the lake last
night. Dancing in the pavilions, stroll
ing on the beach, boating under a safe
breeze with only the stars to show the
way, and lolling in delightfully."- secluded
hammocks with-well, never mind as to
that, but just the same Friday night at
the lake side is the pick of the week.
''Tve had the jolliest time" began a
trim little maid, who came skipping up
the garden walk at the Leip about y
d. m. "Never had so much fun swim
ming IN my life," she continued, pull
ing off her sailor hat and allowing the
gentle lake breeZes to toy playfuliy with
her long, damp tresseS. what DO you
think, MIR. Smith, | can swim clean
across the enclosure now, and ten days
ago could only take about dozen
strokes. Talk about progression, and
the charming watersprlte gave another
shake 10 her tangled name as she
skinned into the house to exchange her
ulster wrap for garment more suited
to the temperature. THAT girl enjoys
life if any one does" remarked the Sc
date looking man to whom she had just
confided her natatorial accomplishment.
rShe sWmS, rows, fishes and rides from
week end to week end. She is the
picture of health, the very essence of
good nature, and altogether quite the
jolliest little thing know OFF,
"Any one ought to enjoy life here, :"
ventured all habitue of the place, glanc-
ing out over the surface of the water,
to where, in the distant shadow, the
lights of the shore three miles away
tWinkled merrily. The leaves ruSJled
family overhe ad as though to warn the
speakers that summer was nearing its
end and that autumn was approaching.
From far away on the placid surface OF
White Bears waters there f1oated
fainty the song of a sailing party, WAY
Down on the Suanee River" Why is it
that when people get out in boat
together, with the starry dome of heaven
above them and the gently rolling deep
beneath-why is it that they always
sing? And again, why do they sing, in
stead of the lauded and admired pro-
ductions of the great writers, those old
familiar songs and choruses, Good
Night, Ladies'" "Over the Bounding
Wave,'' and all the rest of them?
Whatever the reason. and whatever
the artistic merit of the songs sung, or
the vocal powers of the singers, these
same old melodies sound as SWeet-nay
Sweeter, than any, as they come family
to the ears of the listeners ashore.
There was merry time at Mahtomedi
Yesterday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs.
Reese, of st. Paul, and Mr.. and Mrs. j.
F. Dale, of Minneapolis, with party

picnic party. The cloth was spread on
the turf '''neath the shade of a spread
ing elm," and the chicken salad and the
Bass and the dry sillery and all the rest
of the good things that go with first
class picnic party, were partaken of by
the iolliest of men and maldens, seated
on the sWard a la Turk.
Talking about fun though-such fun
as young people enjoy-the event
brought off at the residence of Mr.. and

Thursday evening, was not the least in
the happenings of week. Miss Clara
Hauser had a birthday on Thursday.
She has had them before. but she her
self is authority for the statement that

of her past anniversaries. Besides all

party in fact. About 80 O CLOCK was the
hour when host of the young lady's
friends of both sexes came down OH the
Sibley street residence like an invading
army. There never was more well
come surprise, however, and in few
moments eight card tables were in full
blast, and euchre was the game. Then
