warm the chilled fingers of the guests.
And as for gowns, the pretty, light and
dlaphanous frockS that my lady pre-
pared for the season are still reposing
IN tissue paper and she is praying for
warm September. White Bear lake
has felt particularly the effect of the
cold weather, and while each year the
lake gains in fashionable favor, the
cool, damp evenings have not only
spelled the pleasure of the summer
population, but damped the enthusi-
asTn OF many who were thinking of
taxing permanent quarters.
Lake Minnetonka is becoming more
and more Minneapolis resort, and
fewer people from ST. Paul are to be
round there each year. Several fami-
lies from here long ago built or settISd
there, but st. Paul business men are
not inclined to take the long car ride
required in going back and forth each
day. Gen. Bishop and Mrs. Bishop
and their family have had their sum-
mer nome there for ten years and are
there from May to October. They have
a pretty little place up near the head
OF the lake, and it is usually full 20

are friends of the Misses Bishop, who
are not yet out. Mr.. and Mrs. O. C.

Formerly Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey officer,
Mr. E. F. Warner and Mrs. Henry

at Minnetonka, but of late years have

gagEment of st. Paul girl has recently
come about in a very strange manner.
The girl in question--Who has MANY
admirers-is very fond of opals and
always secuted the old superstition
that they bring bad luck to their pos
SCISSORS. So, when she became engaged
year ago, she received as an engage

diamonds, which had been purchased
at ,ner own request and rather against
the advice of the young man who was
her future. He felt some oualnos and
said so, but the girl laughed and was
delighted with. her opal Whether this
unlucky stone had anything to do with

IN a few months, the girl returning the
ring ana the man departing for West

course OF the year the same girl, whose

love for opals she had said nothing to
this young man, her late unpleasant
experiences having cured her some

decided that her best course was to
ask the young man where he purchased
