You realize that fact when Saturdays
come round so swiftly that one has
scarcely time to gather her wits to
gether long enough to keep count Of the
lays. We got good start last week
and celebrated the Fourth on Tuesday.
Everybody seemed to be enjoying the
day, especially the small boy, and to be
/ truthful, some boys not 50 very small
who had gained possession Of dIabol-
zeal combination that made noise like
2 cannon wheel being comparatively
harmless.
l. IS curious trait in human nature
that makes one enio Joy that which gives
discomfort or pain to another. The
Fourth was an ideal day for the regatta

out 10 enjoy il. The races rowed by
some OF the most popular society young
men OF the city were not the ouly at
traction that drew the crowd down the
winding stairs from Wabasha street

berry island 10 enjoy the hospitality of
the Minnesota boat club, but there were
several chrlstenings Of new boats, and
here was shown supreme. The name
ing Of the new eight-oar was postponed
Indefinitely, but some pretty words wefe
said and some tiny bottles OF wine
broken over the four and double by
Mesdames &. 4. Jaggard and a. K.
Bsrhum.
Some lovely toilets were seen in the
merry crowd of pretty women who EN-
phasiZed the beauty Of the day by their
presence. Summer STYLES were never
dalntier, and the quaint dresses with
their big sleeves and wide shoulder ruff
fies. their huttering ribbons and fiImv
Iaces. recall those that are to be seen in
tile pictures Of the beauties who lived
and loved and welded along in the
fiIties.
Socially everything is very quiet. We
hear rumors from st. Paul people at
the big fair in Chicago, at the different
lakes and even far afield at the Atlantic
watering places. one bright Young
woman who is seeing the ocean for the
first time at Cape May writes that She
enjoys the sea bathing, "clad in a funny
b0D-taIIed bathing suit, until all ur-
usually big breaker comes to roll US all
over III the surf and we get the sea
water IN Our mouths. and the Atlantic
ocean tastes dreadfully." Another is

Others are wearing out their old dresses
and gathering crops of freckels and sun
burn, as well as boats full of water
lilies and little jars of Comedians, at our
! own dear lakes.
Last night everybody who could get
away went out to Lake Minnetonka to
see the races and take part in the
gaItles that attended the great race be-
tween the crews from Cornell and the
University Of Pennsylvania. A lovely
reception was given al Hotel LAFAYETTE,
where the Victors were crowned and
the vanquished comforted by the tender
smiles OF sympathetic beauty. All the
men wore their most nautical suits, and
the women, as they always do. put OH
their prettlest gowns and most gracious
| manners, the better to bewilder these
bronZed champions of Drawn and
muscle who are just now our honored
guests.
The only thing that the near future
promises is the Commercial club outing
Tor next Tuesday afternoon and even
ing at Lake Mlnnetonka. The club is
accustomed TO make a success of any
thing 1t undertakes in a social way; so,
OF course, this event will be as pleasant
as it is possible to imagine. The MEM
bers are all expected to bring their
! wives and daughters and sweethearts, to
say nothing of their best friends. A
Great Northern train will leave the
union depot at 1870, taking the party to
Minnetonka beach, where thew will
board the steamer ST. Louis for a tour
| Of the Interesting. lake points, reaching
Hotel Lafayette in time for dinner.
| After dinner an entertaining pro-
| gramme consisting of music, sleight-of
! hand by Frederick Bancroft and other
features will be given. From 10 O'Clock
until the train leaves at 1l:30 for the re-
turn to town those who feel SO inclined
can dance.
