St. PauI Social Circles

CNOCIETY is in a transition state
just now, as it is not at all GER
~ tain that summer is here. Those
who have already settled in their lake
or country homes have been running
into town to hear Mansfield or to at
tend graduation exercises, so that the
season out of town cannot be said to
be fairly begun. Country house visit
ing is gaining more and more in popu-
larity and this year a fine opportunity
Will be given for Fourth of July par
ties as the noisy day falls on Monday
and many Saturday to Tuesday visits
are by way Of being arranged. The
June weddings are nearly over, there
remaining but the Lindeke-Xanten
marriage this week, and late in the
month that of Miss Wood and Mr.. Lee,
and as that is to be very quiet home
wedding, but few will have a chance of
attending. This last marriage augurs
well for Interchange of courtesies be-
tween the Twin Cities, as the groom
halls from Minneapolis, and it IS
strange that close as are the two towns
there is so little intermarrying of So
ciety in the two places.

st. Paul is looking very beautiful
just at present, Summit avenue being
in its fresh spring glory at this time of
year, Strangers who are driven out to
the Country club by way of the avenue
are enthusiastic about the beauties we
have all around US. St Paul people
themselves do not seem to realize what
loneliness they have on every hand and
many of them go to much less pretty
places to spend their summers. 1t is
odd that those who want country places
not too far from civilization do not
build themselves country homes out on
Summit avenue near the river, where
there is plenty of room, or on the road
TO Fort Smelling, in some of those beau
ty spots between Summit and the river.
1t is near enough to town for those liv-
ing there to have the advantage of city
and country. The drives about ST.
Paul are very beautiful, and with the
Improvements promised by the organi-
zatiOn of good roads association.
with the energetic Mr.. Scholle at it's
head, there is prospect of the environs
becoming quite ideal for automobile and
carriage riding.
