The Saint Paul globe., 1904-10-23

NURING the past week society has
been much engaged and made
IL itself very gay, in spite of the
dark and lowering weather. 1T
Is really only in the summer months
that weather counts much with soci-
ety. SO from this time forth the teas
and receptions will go merrily on and
the weather man and his vagaries will
be ignored. During the last two weeks
society has gone in largely for the st.
Louis exposition and parties of we'll
known people are leaving and return
Ing every day. Going down in private
cars is exceedingly popular, and those
fortunate individuals who have car
at their disposal, have been taking
their friends with them for a few days
and living in the car inside the
grounds, most pleasant and easy way
to see the many interesting sights.
The pike has been very well patronized
and parties Of st. Paul society folk may
be found dining almost any night in
the Petroleum inn," as somebody has
dubbed the Tyrolean inn.
The first meeting Of the Monday Cir
Gle will be held Monday evening, Oct.
81, at the home of Mr.. Homer Clark on
Holly avenue. This literary club or
circle, led by Mrs. c.. ]. Backus, is now
nearly ten years old and is unique in
that its members are both men and
women. It meets every Monday night
Turing the winter at the house of one
If its members and after one or two
papers upon the subject chosen, there
IS a general discussion in which all
take part and which is most enlight-
sning. It is an excellent thing for
women to obtain masculine point or
view upon current topics and the po-
iitieal questions of the time, and this
IS one of the few organizations in st.
Paul in which it is possible. The club
mas studied much history during It's
existence and this year has schosen the
worlds colonies as the general sub
Iect for the season. Mrs. Backus is
singularly fitted to lead a class of this
character, not only because of her eru-
iition, but also because she is exceed
Ingly Just and fair in her estimate of
outside places and peoples. The par
heular topic for the first meeting will
be aThe Children of the Nations" and
the class will have map lesson To-
eating the worlds colonies.
