Despite tn e chilly weather, the cool
winds which have usurped the place of
summers balmy breezes, and the inter
mittent rains, the Iakesiders still stay
by their summer quarters, and hope on
for the weather such as usually sue
ceedS the first cold spell of the fall sea-
son. There is no reason to believe that
they will be disappointed. Every sea-
son we get couple of weeks of cold,
disagreeable weather when fail first
sets in, and then comes the most mag
nifcent days and nights of the year.
The latter are sufficiently cool to carry
death into the mosquito camp, and the
former sufficiently balmy and beautiful
to make up for any atmospheric short
comings of the preceding ten days.
Yachting parties are as popular as
ever, and neither the Wintry tinge of
the breezeS that blow, nor the rough
ened surface Of the lake, are sufficient
to keep the gay young lovers of aquatic
sport coOped up in hotels and cottages.
Rain, it is true, is somewhat Of damp

and nothing short of rain stops the fun.

claims larger guest roll than at any
previous time during the whole season,
and there is evident justice in the claim.
With all this there is perceptible in

organizing, o'clock teas are becoming
more frequent and fashionable, dances
are even talked of, and there are rumorS
OF concerts and muSicaleS to come.
The lake season at best can last but a
few weeks longer. Residents along the
beaches of Minnesota's inland seas are
becoming stated Of rural simplicity and
sigh again for the pleasures which only
the winter season can bring. There is

The following was yesterday sub
mitted for publication by one of st.
Paul's best-knoWn society ladies:
Seeing many accounts of your fine
opera houses soon to be opened in our
city, beg you will make rule 'that
no female Can enter the house with
hat or bonnet on.'' You are men, and
have been ANNOYED many times by big
hats or high bonnet. Now is your
golden opportunity. Make your rules
while you can. Not many years ago L
went to Europe, and was very much
surprised to find | was obliged to re-
move my hat. and | soon appreciated
what comfort it was to see. This
week | attended the MINISTRIES and
there was hat in front of me, which
completely INSTRUCTED the view. Pm
sure every one will join with me and
say, have large sign in the entrance,
mo ladies allowed to wear hats or bon
nets" also have a large mirror where
we can see ourselves and arrange
mussed bangs. | know every lady will
be glad to comply with your request.
Last, but not least, to say nothing of
the comfort of seeing, the benefit the
managers would have from the adver-
ti5ement the travelling public would
give them, would be unheard of.
