POSSIBLE. For society is scattereu
bitbe- and yon, and indeed 1T naroly
exists at all. Well known 81. Faul
people are scattered up and down tiIe
Atlantic coast, or in the mountains ol
New Hampshire. and in the othef "
rection there are few Pacific coast re-
sorts that are not at present palron..
ized NV some st. Paul travellers. BanH
base come into vogue within the last
few wears and has the reputation OF
being the coolest spot in the lar NoTeil.
In fact it is only lately that the Tar
West and North have gained IN FASH
ionable favor. and many persons VINO
never thought they could go anywhere
in the summer, save TO the resorts olt
the Atlantic, have discovered that
there is something beyond the Rlckles,
and many have deserted the East Tor
the West. st. Paul itself is 'somethins
of a summer place, and many dellgnt-
full people from New orleans anu Inc
far South generally come up mere reg
11larly every year to enjoy our cool
breezes. of which this year We nave
had more than our usual supply. Inc
fact that no one needed to leave inns
city this summer for comfort mas not
affected in the least the exodus TO lake
or seashore, and probably never perore
in the summer have so many well
known persons been out of town.
At a luncheon given the other day,
at which some young married women
were gathered together belonging TO
one set, and only those who knew each
other very we'll, the subject of how
men propose came up. and all the
guests fell to discussing and confess
ing how the thing was done IN each
of their Individual cases. They COM
pared notes. each one giving her ex-
Nperience, at first rather tlm1dly, DuC
,l,x -saIrc NR lon
with vows of secrecy. It was discover
ed that the me-honored method OF
dropping upon one knee is entirely out
of date, and that the modern man
never does anything so melodramatlc
One woman said she had never seen
any man sufficiently in love to forget
how he looked or be willing to make
himself ridiculous. This reused con-
siderable discussion. The one propo-
sal that was considered the most
unique was when one of the fair guests
confessed that her husband proposed
during runaway. She was driving
with him, beyond the bridge on Sum-
init avenue when the horse took into
his head to bolt; fortunately she kept
her head and her seat. and 1t was
quite evident that the young man pre-
served his presence Of mind, for when
the affair was over and the horse
brought to a standstill the girl found
course a man has a little extra halo
round his head when he is saving his
beloveds life by getting the better OF
a fractions horse. Some OF the other
experiences were sufficiently interest
ing, but none so unique as the above.
Experience luncheons" bid fair to be-
come a fad.
