and sIadness. for spring hats and flow
ers. All the girls will probably wear
their new gowns and hats-that is, IL
the sun condescends to shtne-but, at
all events. each girl must wear a flow
er, violets, preferably, even II they are
becoming somewhat common. For a
time various Easter costumes seemed
to go out of fashion, but they are again
the vogue, and all the little girls In
town have been coloring Easter eggs
vigorously during the week. Society
wakes UP once more and comes out OF
Its Lenten lethargy, though, as we have
said before, the spring season is not
very long one nor very merry one.
Few important events are Scheduleu'
and only one wedding definitely ar
ranged, and that is of the Rev. Theo-
dore Sedgwick to Miss Bend, which
will take place on May f. The time for
the wedding of Miss RoXana Smith ana
Mr.. Paul Kalman has been set for NO
Vember next.
This is the day when flowers are not
only fashionable, but symboltcal, ana
the floris IS have been getting ready for
weeks to make a display, and truly 1t
surpassed anything yet seen in st. PAU.
Not only are cut flowers to be seen IN
profusion, but novelties in the way OF
fat long baskets planted with hya-
Cinths of different COlors, were to be
and house decoration. Every young
man must send his beloved some flow
ers on Easter day If not at any other
time, and though 1t is no longer ex-
tremely Fashionable for women to wear
flowers, this day is an exception to all
rules. AS far the spring hats, they are
fearful and wonderful in size, shape
and variety, but extremely becoming to
most faces. On Summit avenue this
afternoon, if one takes the trouble to
promenade, will be seen many Of st.
Paurs smart set in their Easter array.
The church parade, once a feature of
New York on Eastern day, has been
given up by those who are supposed to
belong to the inner circle, but in st.
Paul it is not yet regarded as bad form
to put on the best you have for the
morning service:
A New York society paper which
prints items from all over the country
recently reported q coming divorce in
st. Louis which is of interest to a few
who remember Mrs. Henry v Lucas,
who lived in st. Paul some years ago
and was known somewhat socially.
Mrs. Lucas was a very handsome and
very chaming woman, whose husband
was connected with one Of the st. Paul
railroads for a time, and while here
Mrs. Lucas made many friends, al
though her stay was not long enough
for her to be much known socially. She
is now trying to obtain divorce on the
ground Of non-support and has the
sympathy Of her st. Louis friends.
One of the most ting events Of
the coming week will be the reception
given by Mrs. Pope and Miss Pope on
Wednesday afternoon in honor Of the
bride, Mrs. George c. Rugg. This Is the
first opportunity Mrs. Riggs friends
will have had to meet her since her
wedding, and the attendance will prob
ably be very large. Mrs. Pope's family
represents one of the oldest and best
known in Minnesota, and the list in
cludes all of the well known people of
this city.
Among the informal affairs Of the
past week was a small card party CIV
en- by Mrs. j. E. Schadle in her apart
ments at the Aberdeen on Tuesday aft
ernoon. Thursday night Mrs. Howard
James of the Aberdeen gave dinner
party in honor of Mrs. Mellen, and her
guest, Miss Allaire, of New York. Mr..

Earl West. son of Mr.. and Mrs. Hora-
ito West, formerly of st. Paul. will be
married this month to Miss Thompson,
Of Pasadena, Cal, where the bride and
groom will reside.
The wedding of Miss Bend and Mr..
Sedgwick will be the most interesting
event society has to look forward to
this spring. Miss Bend is very well
known, though she has never devoted
her time exclusively to society, as she
has given much of it to church work
and philanthropy; Mr.. SedgWick,
though but a comparative newcomer,
has made a place for himself in st.
Paul and done a great work in build
ing UP the church over which he pre-
sides as rector. He is very popular.

wick and the Rev. Frank H. Nelson, of
