The Saint Paul globe., 1904-05-22

CNT. PAUL today is in the glory of
its spring raiment and one might
~ roam the world over in search of
q more beautiful avenue, and more
charming homes than Summit avenue
and the houses that border it. The
residence portion of the hill is like one
vast park set in a grove Of trees and
the inhabitants of rows of brick houses
in large cities would wonder why in the
world the people of this city should
consider it necessary to leave during
the hot weather. And indeed it is not
of necessity, but rather because it is
a fad that st. Paul people go to
lakes and summer resorts. st. Paul
is an excellent summer city and
one cannot but wonder at the hill res
ident with all the comforts of home,
including a screened piazza, who will
exchange it for stuffy little cottage
with no conveniences at a lake. But
fashion governs some of us with an
iron rod, and as st. Paul woman re-
marked the other day, the well-known
people merely stay here a little while
up their wardrobes in preparation for
going away.

Society has been taking full advan-
tage of the glorious weather of the
past week with its hope of summer,
and has enjoyed it largely at the Coun-
try club, which is more than ordinarily.
attractive just now. The grounds and
the piazzas are given over to gay little
groups of women who take their work
out there and sit in the sun, enjoying
an outdoor life which is not always
possible in town. Having the club with
its wide inviting porches so near, is
another reason why going away is not
necessary in st. Paul, for dinner once
or twice a week at this attractive place,
makes a pleasant recreation for the
stay-at-homes.
Two interesting funcheons of this
week at the Country club are set for
Tuesday, when Miss Rogers, of Vir-
ginia avenue, will give a small luncheon
for Miss Carol Noyes, bride of early
June, and the luncheon Mrs. Howard
James will give for Mrs. Mellen.
