St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1890-08-03

This is distinctively the season for
vacations, trips to the lakes, camping
parties and other outdoor diversions
which throw social restraints to the
winds, and to say that there is any $50
ciety news,'' save the chronicling of bits
of personal mention, and recording OF
the departures from the city and the
coming and going of guests. would be
to make a statement hardly consistent
with facts. Everybody is out of town.
and if they are not, wish to be thought
so, and the chances are you would have
hard time to get enough friends to-
gether to make up progressive euchre
party. OF course there is the perennial
lawn festival, and occasionally what is
called hop" but they are on such
small scale that they are hardly worth
speaking about.
-
What there is of society is on the
lake. The Minnetonka season is at its
height The hotels are full, and if you
leave your comfortable home in the city
you will be obliged to sleep in dry
goods box of loom OH an upper floor.
The cottages stuck away in the woods
are crowded too, and the item that Mrs.
This-And-Thats at their cottage at Cam
brio Needle Heights, simply means that
Mrs. So-And-So has packed few dresses,
including mother Hubbard you
can be sure, and is out there with the
rest of 'em, fighting mosquitoes, Sleep
in hammock, eating tough beefSteak,
or sitting on the piazza of hotel, which,
an architectural beauty, could not give
a sash and door factory many points
and beat it. When Mrs. So-And-So
comes back to the city and gets thor
oughly rested from her outing, she'll
tell you she had perfectly lovely time;
and she thinks she had, because it is
the fad to so to the lakes just now.

AS to life at the lake-there are the
ocular hops at the Lafayette and st.
Louis, the excursions on the little
steamboats, called the "Why-N Dts" and
the ''What is-Its," the tennis parties af
fected by the young people with black
silk hosiery and barber pole blazers,
and they are all the same thing. This
week the presence of the professional
Jake Gaudaur, J. A. Ten EyclS, John 81.
Mckay and Albert H. Hamm, who have
come down from Duluth to pull few
races in st. Louis bay Thursday and
Friday, will undoubtedly create good
deal of interest, and the dry goods
clerk, in his sweet summer clothes, will
be at discount for few days because
Of the presence Of these muscular
young men. OF course excursions from
the city will be arranged to attract the
patronage Of that class of humanity who
want to be sat the lake" too, and who
are willing to give up as much as dol
lar and half for round trip ticket
and a dinner.
There is one feature this summer at
the Lafayette that is commendable-t
symphony concerts by the DAM orches-
ira on Sunday afternoons. The pro-
grammes do not include "White
Wings" or Little Annie Rooney" but
the music is Of really high order,
little too high, perhaps, for the general
run of people, out not too high for those
whose tastes have been cultivated to a
degree that makes them desire some
thing better than the brass band orgies
that occur on the tops of twelve-Story
buildings and at the suburban lakes of
the city. Last Sundays concert was
listened to by large and select audi
ence, and doubtless this will be the case
this afternoon, when the following pro-
CRANE is 10 be rendered.
