The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-08-16

The climatic conditions Of the past
week have been SO strange Tor TINS
time of year that it has seriously al,
fected society. How to dress, ana
whether or not to prepare for porch
and garden parties, or for indoor af-
fairs before a roaring fire. have quite
absorbed those who entertain. Inc
girls are arrayed in white. but are
Obliged to wear long and heavy coats
ever their summer toilets, ana even
then have not been able to keep warm.
White Bear lake people have felt the
cold weather very much. and those
who have heating plants in their
houses have taken in others who nave
not and who actually were unable TO
get warm.
But as Minnesota generally gives US
just about so much heat and SO mucQ
cold weather each year. it is quite
tober we will make up for our cool
July and August. and the girls can
bring out some of the airy, fairy
frocks that have been entirely too di-
aphanous to be comfortable so far.
The announcement Of the angage-
ment of Miss Lila Finch to Mime
apelis man, and of Miss Officer to Mr..
Owen, are but two Of the many en-
gagements Of we'll known girls that
are facts, but. for some reason or
other, not yet announced. Within the
next two weeks there will probably be
several others given out: one Will take
one Of the beauties of st. Paul to New
York; another is of a popular girl to
an army man; still another is of a very
much liked girl to Western man,
but that Is only a rumor. There are
two or three others that are known
by intimate friends Of those concern
ed. but they cannot be told just yet. At
all events this promises well for the
autumn weddings, and several have al
ready been arranged. Miss Holbert
and DR.. Risley will be married in Oc-
tober; Miss Roxana Smith and Mr..
Paul Kalman in November. and Miss
F'inch's wedding will also occur short
