Summer is over The trees up river
and fringing the borders of the lakes
have within the last two weeks assumed
the lovely tinted hues of autumn. The
winds that blow have in them a SuS-
picion of the winter near at hand. and
the starlight strolls with other peoples
sisters. the yachting. the white flannels
and SaSheS, and the riSque bathing cos
tunes are the memories of a past, and
the longed-for of a future season.
OvercoatS have been comfortable adj
IunctS to existence on most days of the
week now past. Furs are considered
none too heavy by the pretty girls who
a couple of weeks ago were romping
over the sands on seashore or lakeside
III the most airy of summer costumes,
and the most utter disregard for the
pulmonary possibilities suggested by
the cold nights succeeding days that
we're almost sultry.
Most people are in town now, and
there is a movement in society affairs
characteristic of st. Paul in September.
The record of the week shows that there
have been more events of a social char
acter during that period than for the
entire preceding three. Surprise parties
are in the majority. Weddings are a
good average, and engagements to marry
are heard of everywhere. Tea parties,
euchre parties, dances and sOireeS are
as popular as EVER, and the season may
be said to have opened faVorably. The
social craft has been launched under
new poles, and is making its annual trip
with the wind right aStern.
