The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-03-08


| tered from Seattle to San Diego, on
| the Pacific coast, and in the southern
| part of the country at all the resorts
| down to ST. Augustine, in Florida.
| Most of those who have gone from
| here have Travelled by regular trains
! and without special cars, but it is no
| longer considered the proper thing by
| the New York smart set to go South
| or anywhere else these days unless
one has not alone private car, but
| special train, for which all regular
| train schedules are upset. Large par
| ties have been leaving New York every
| day for month, made up of the prop
/ er number Of girls and men with
| millionaire host and hostess, and going
| to Palm Beach or ST. Augustine, the
| two most popular resorts of this WIN
| ter. The girl who has not an invitation
I to spend a month in Florida with gay
| party. all expenses paid, may consider
herself out of it. For these visits is
| required a very large wardrobe, in
| deed, a regular -trousseau of beautiful
| summer frockS, and the result is that
many of the fashions for the coming
| season have been decided upon-or an
| nounced at all eVents-much earlier
| than usual on this account. Mr.. and
Mrs. Stickney, Miss Stickney and Miss
| Adele Lanpher are about the only
ones who have left here in a private
| car for the South. They are going
| wherever it pleases them, and certain
| ly to Mexico before returning, when
| Mr.. and Mrs. Stickney will return to
| New York to open their house there.
| There is a New York society paper
/ which purpOrtS to record social events
| in all the large cities of the country,
| and occasionally turns it's attention to
| st. Paul. 1t has most unpleasant
| fashion of getting names right, and
| facts in connection with these names
| mixed. And this was the case last
| week, when 1t recorded a recent we'd
| ding in st. Paul The communication
was evidently made by one who had no
acquaintance with the persons con-
| cerned, and the impression given by
the article was entirely different than
was warranted by the facts. There is
| not the slightest objection to the rec
| ord of social events if correctly writ
| ten, but when garbled and distorted
those concerned have a distinct griev-
| ance.
| The removal of Mr.. W. R. Merriam,
| formerly of ST. Paul, and his family
| to New York will not be a going
| among strangers to Mrs. and Miss Mer-
| Ram, as already they have friends and
| acquaintance there. There are also
family affiliations for Mrs. Merriam in
| New York, as her sister, Mrs. Griffin,
! lives there, has a large establishment
| and is we'll known socially. Another
| sister of Mrs. Merriam's is Mrs James
| Heber Bishop,who lives UP on the Hud-
| son and has a beautiful home there.
| Mrs. Bishop was Miss Abigail Adams
| Hancock, and met her husband in ST.
| Paul some years ago when visiting
| Mrs. Merriam here. MI. Bishop is the
| son of Heber Bishop, who died this
| winter, and man of wealth and po-
| sition. s.
1t is doubtful whether there is a ho-
| tel register anywhere at the popular
winter resorts of the South, East and
| West, which does not contain the
names of we'll known st. Paul people
| at the present time. There is not
! likely to be a general movement to-
ward home until the first of April, OF
| during the first week, as Easter comes
on the 18th, and many will return to
| celebrate the day. DR.. and Mrs.
Richie, of the Aberdeen, are travelling
in Mexico, with party Of Indianapo-
| lis friends; Mr.. and Mrs. Parlin, of the
| Aberdeen, and Mrs. Henry Hutchin
son are at st. Augustine; Mrs. Howard
James, at one Of the Georgia resorts;
Mr.. and Mrs. George Gardner are in
| their own house at Palm Beach; Mrs.
| John w. Willis and DR.. Wharton, at
Ocean Springs, Miss. They will re-
turne to ST. Paul about the 10th of this
! month. Mrs. John L. Snapp and fam
| lily, who have been spending the win
| ter In Seattle, will leave for home the
last of this month. Mrs. Bunker, of
| Summit avenue, and her daughter,
| Mrs. Powers, viii go to Savanna early
| In April, to be present at the mar
riage of Mr.. Charles Bunker, first lieu
| tenant, U. S. A, to one Of the bellies Of
| Georgia. Mrs. L. D. Wilkes of the
| Aberdeen, will leave this week for Hot
Springs for a stay of several weeks.
| Mrs. Winter-Smith has returned from
| New York, but the last of this month
| will give up the Green house she has
been occupying, on Holly avenue, and
will go to New York to reside perma-
nently with her father, Mr.. E. w. Win
ter. Mrs. o. C. Green and her daugh-
| tiers will return from California about
| the middle of April. Mr.. w. G.. Far
| rington and family, formerly of st.
| Paul, have been in New Orleans, but
have left there for a time, Mrs. Far
rington having gone with her family
! to St Augustine, and Mr.. Harrington
| to Cuba on business trip. Mr.. F. e.
! Howell, of Laurel avenue, has returned
| from New York. Miss Grace Doran
| has gone South.
Among the well known st. Paul peo-
pie in California are Mrs. Abbie Mairs
| and daughters, who are now in Los
| Angeles, ana MIS-. ALBERT SCnOnendn,
| who has been visiting her father, DR..
Trueworthy, in the same city. Mrs.
Schuneman returns this week. Mrs
Robert G. Hine and family, of the AL
bion, who have been in San Diego all
winter, are now making a visit to
Santa Catalina. Her father-in-law,
Mr.. Charles S. Hine, of Stamford,
Conn.,, is with her. Mrs. John H
Bidleman is at Santa Monica by-t the
Sea, and Mrs. Dudley Hersey is at
Long Beach, near Los Angeles. Miss
| Carrie Severance, we'll known in st.
| Paul, is travelling In Southern Cali
| fornia with her father.
Among the small and informal af-
| fairs of the past week was luncheon
given for a few friends by Mrs. A. G.
| Brisbine, of Nina avenue, at the resi-
dence of her daughter, Mrs. Hayes, on
Wednesday. Thursday afternoon Mrs.
j. p. Elmer entertained a few friends
at tea. Friday afternoon Miss Cecilia
| Kalman, of Summit avenue, gave
| linen shower for the bride, Mrs Rugg,
| which was the first opportunity her
| friends have had to congratulate her
She received many beautiful additions
to her linen closet. The guests were
about dozen young married women
and girls. Miss Emily Corning, of
| Summit avenue, gave a very informal
and unique party Friday night, which
