The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-07-17

MT WOULD be quite impossible to say
where society is at the present time,
it is so scattered and divided that it
can hardly be said to be existent at all.
Although the dog days are ahead of us,
and still to come midsummer quietneSS
reigns over the city. Nearly everybody is
out of town, and walking on Summit ave-
nue. either at night or during the daytime,
wakes the echoes in that deserted street.
So many beautiful homes-are closed that
the town appears like deserted city, and
the stiffness of some of the residence sec
tions is appalling. But from whatever
point you regard it, the summer is not a
success as a summer, and there are many
who prefer our old-fashioned ones with
extreme heat, to the cold, rainy days of
the present season.
The presence of Cardinal Satolli, and
The dinner and small reception given for
the distinguished churchman by Mrs. j. J.
Hill Thursday, We're the only ripples in
an otherwise quiet week. Bridge is no
longer counted as it is now being played
ceaSelesSly every afternoon and night. In
TACT, bridge is all that holds together
what is left of society, and were it not for
this absorbing game, stagnation would be
the word to- apply to society at present
One alarming thing about bridge is that
women seem to prefer to play it without
men, and many of the small evening
bridge affairs are composed entirely of
women and husbands are relegated to
clubs or automobiing. The truth is that
men do not care to play bridge with
women; with nothing up they do not re-
gard it as very exciting, therefore the
popularity of the game has resulted in
separating husbands and wives even more
than progressive euchre parties did in the
old days.
