St. Paul daily globe., 1893-06-11

The lovely June days have taken so
many people away from the noise and
fret of the city to reyel IN the cool,
lush greenness and quiet of the country
about the lakes, where one may-in fact,
is expected to wear his or more likely
her old clothes, swing in hammock, read
ones faYorite author. entertain ones
friends "sans cereMonie," and eat fish
of own catching, arise with the lark and
rush to catch the train for town while
the words one would like TO say would
most likely disturb others beside
the misguided lark. There are two
sides to even the question of
a summer at the lake. Other people are
preparing to 90 or have gone to the
worlds fair. rumorS or whose wonders
come to us OH every breeze. Socially,
little has beer done the past week, un-
less we count the Semi-public reception
to the members Of the Loyal Legion, at
which old stories were retold, old friend
ships revived, and the cords of fraternity
strengthened by warm hand clasps and
gracious entertaining. Many honored
names were among the guests, who left
the pleasantest impression on the peo-
pie of the Twin Cities. The reception
and banquet to j. j. Hill was also
semi-pu6lie affair, the banquet being
the largest and most elaborate affair
ever given in this city. The appoint
ments were exquisite, and the menu
something to remember even by those
to whom a banquet is not a matter Of
unusual importance. Those favored
women who were allowed to have
peep at all this magnificence whisper
admiring remarks about the way men
do things regardless OF expense, and
possibly store in their memories answers
to objections to social spending for
future use. A few smaller social affairs
such as theater parties are chronicled.
Monday evening Charles Gordon and
Miss Gordon gave theater party to
number of their friends. There were
present Mir. and Mrs. j. j. Parker, Mr..
and Mrs. Lawler, Miss Mann, Miss
Sturgiss, Mr.. Hancock and Lieut.. Stur-

bach, DR.. Jav Stewart, Mr.. and Mrs.
Whitney Wall, Miss Kalman, Miss Nc

The public school concert on Friday
night was an event to date from to the
scores of happy children who partici
pated, and the continuation of the
pleasure at a matinee yesterday after
noon gave yet other children a chance
to be happy IN the same way. The per-
formers were from ali of the grades
in the schools and acquitted themselves
charmiugly. SeriOuS-minded people
have had royal pleasure the past week
III listening 10 that prince Of good
lecturers. Prof. Henry Drummond, a

the whole world by reason of his breadth
OF thought, depth of information and
