The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-10-11

The social season of the winter has
begun. Opened most auspiciously by
the Andrews-Finch wedding and the
Nordica concert, there will be many
social affairs to record from now on
until the coming Of the penitential
season ends the Sayety.
The wedding on Thursday evening
at Christ church was a notable one
and everything that a fashionable we'd
ding should be. Contrary to the GUS
tom of even the prettiest girls, when
arrayed in bridal finery, Mrs. Andrews
looked her best, and as she smiled COM
ing down from the altar to the friends
she saw on both sides Of the church
aisles, she appeared radiantly happy.
Though the groom at wedding is a
very unimportant parsonage. and no
one cares much about him except to
hope that he will be on time, in this
case the groom was the personification
of happiness and spoke in firm voice.
The maids all looked charming, and
everything went off per schedule.
Truly, when st. Paul society is on
dress parade, it has not many equals,
even in the older cities of the East.
The matter of dress in st. Paul now
has reached an extreme beyond which
1t does not seem possible for it to 60
The evening wraps and big hats of
white or black which the women wear
are elegant and becoming. There
should be, however, a standard for
dress. universally accepted and adopt
ed. The smart set here does as society
does in New York, and yet there are
many who are very uncertain what to
wear to an evening wedding. Full
dress at night is always proper, and
even those women who were not going
on to the reception were in no wise i'm
properly gowned in evening dress. On
the other hand, it was equally proper
to wear handsome high-necked gowns
evening cloaks and big hats.
One pleasant feature of the wedding
of last week was the bringing together
of society in Minneapolis and ST. Paul.
This happens altogether too seldom
and it is believed that the marriage
of a st. Paul girl as popular as was
Miss Finch, to a Minneapolis man, will
do much to draw closer the bonds
Minneapolis was we'll represented at
the wedding, which attested to the pop
ularity of Mr.. Andrews.
The illness of Miss Holbert has much
concerned her friends, but they will be
ger and on the road to recovery. Her
f1ance, DR.. Risley, of Philadelphia, ar

til she is quite well. AS yet the plans
for their marriage on Nov. II have not
been changed, and it is hoped that
the event will not have to be postponed
It all depends upon Miss Holbert,s re-
cuperative powers.
