Weddings Apart, the Social

Events Of the Past Week and
the Run Of Personal
Gossip.

Society has worn a very professional
aspect this week There have been two
large banquetS, where the disciples Of
Esculapius and Blackstone gathered in
full force The former at the Merchants
showed that the horrors of living and
. dying could not check their wit. They
would still, in Socratie fashion, "sacri-
fee a cock 10 ESculapiuS, " which in this
case was probably quail on Toast. At
the Aberdeen Judge Sanborn, in whose
honor the feast was given, eSsayed a
forensic effort which was said by the
members OF the St Paul bar present to
be the effort Of 4 lifetime.
This next week another leading light
of the bar will he rendered a reception.
Thursday evening Of next week a
large reception viii be given at the Aber-
deem in honor OF Hon. Henry c. Cald-
we'll and Mrs. Caldwell, of Little Rock,
Ark. Judge Caldwell is here presiding
at term of the United States Circuit
court of appeals, and the reception will
be given III his honor and that of Mrs.
Caldwell by Hon. Walter II. SanbOrn
and Mrs. Sanborn and Hon. K. r. Mel
son and Miss Nelson. \ large number
OF Invitations have been sent oat, as
many as TOOo 500. Late in the evening
the young people may dance If they
desire to 10 so.
The ladies of the city expended their
social force at the colonial tea at the
Schurmeier home, and outrivaled the
danes OF mo in the magnificence OF
their attire and their courtly grace. The
mother of the country never looked half
as charming in the rooms at Mount Yer
non as did the Lady Washington of
Tuesday night, in her powdered chignon
and stiff brOcade. One almost wished
they had lived in days OF old, when
knights were bold and ladies always
fair. The soft candle light throws
glamour over things that the glare of
electricS ruins. The minuet, too, that
stately dance. with its courteous bow
ing and dipping, seems all too noble
thing for the frivolous waltz of this gen
Grafton. One wonders If it really was
q member of the same family as the
stupid laneerS and rollicking galOp.
June is surely CuLid'S harvest time,
and there was not day Of the week but
what this blind god handed over some
of his charges to the wide-eyed Hymen.
1t is the month when ''heaven'S mar
rage ring is round the earth" and that
indefinite place-the East-muSt be
Ill ed with newly welded couples. ST.
Paul gets its quota, and by their manner
you'll know them, for as a young man
expressed it TO me. they always act as
If they didn't know each other"
1t has at least brought Us to the happy
thought that although inc mills Of the
South Dakota divorce court grind
quickly and grind exceedingly small.
there will always be men and maidenS
III the world who believe in each other
and are not terrified by the Dakota
dragon of divorce. Faith may be the
substance Of things hoped for" but
am Old-TaShioned enough to believe it is
also an evidence of things still seen, and
that love isn't quite relic of the past,
