The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-10-25

The past week has not been one in
which one gayety followed another in
Quick succession, but it has held sew
eral notable events just the same. Miss
Gordon's recital brought out the most
fashionable audience of the season so
far which is always the case when she
sings, and not only a fashionable as
Semblage, but one of music lovers as
well. Miss Gordon's musical taste and
judgment are of so high an order that
musicians feel they cannot afford to
miss her recitals.
One of the most beautiful dinners
ever given here occurred Tuesday night
at the Minnesota club, of which Mr..
Frank Howell was host, and the Prince
Henri de Croy was the guest of honor.
After dinner the guests adjourned to
the theater. The prince is not a stran-

way to the West. He has been at the
Aberdeen for week, and left on Fri
day for Belgium.
