These are among the busiest days of
the year for society. Coming in from
lakes, returning from summer outings
and preparing the young people for
winters stay at schools, at home and
abroad, leaves not much time for social
gayeties The past week was expected
to be gay one on account OF the ten
mis- tournament, but sad and uneX-
pected events, like the deaths OF Judge
Flandrau and Henry Nicols, cast
gloom over a week that promised we'll.
Not to mention the weather. To men
ton it is to wax eloquent, and on the
part of some perSonS-eSpecIally the
young men who had the tennis meet in
hands 20 say things that are more
forcible than elegant. The first few
days might have been worse; the last
one or two could not have been worse.
The dinner and dance of Friday night
took place amid terrific peals of thun-
der which were alarming, but did not
serve to spoil the good cheer within
the Country club. The dinner given by
the tennis men was for the girls, and
about siXty-five sat down at small ia
bles, which were in green and deco
rated to reSen t)le tennis courts. The
cotillion danced after dinner was led
by Reece Newport and William Y. s.
Finch, dancing alone at each end. Yes
terday no attempt was made to finish
the tournament, but tomorrow it is to
be closed in a blaze of glory, and also
of sunshine, if the weather man is only
agreeable, and he promises to be.
good crowd is expected tomorrow, and
the finals doubles and semi-finalS are
expected to show some exciting ana
interesting contests. 1t is hoped to
make tomorrow the banner day of the
tournament.
A St. Paul women, who is nothing is
not resourceful and good natured, had
an experience last Monday which serv-
ed to show her that there are times
when we cannot have everything we
want, in spite of the fact that money
will buy almost all that mortal woman
can desire. She had some distinguish
ed friends at a town hotel-a
we'll known writer of books and his
wife, who were passing through st.
Paul-and as they were to be here only
for the day she asked them up to din
ner that night and then went into her
kitchen and announced to her servants
that there would be five persons for
dinner that night beside her own fam
lily. Though her cuisine is almost per-
feet, it means something to give a din
ner for five in a hurry, and the maids
were somewhat appalled, when she
made the announcement. The conster-
nation grew when one of them stated
that it was Labor day and there was
not shop open in town. The mistress
of the house proved her tact and sense,
when instead of being fiuStered by the
information she sat down and laughed.
The fact that she was going to have
dinner party and could not buy any
thing to eat, struck her as extremely
humorous, and finally the servants saw
the point and laughed, too. Thus the
day was saved, and this charming
woman telephoned to the Minnesota
club and her dinner was perfect.
