The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-05-08

ETWEEN lunching, dining and
moving out to the lake. society
~ has its hands full this week, not
to mention the weddings which
have been and are to be in the near flu
ture. Backward as is the spring season
here, it is even more so in the East and
Ru summer preparations are about
month behind. White Bear Lake, however,
is beginning to take on its usual look
and the season will begin about the first
of June. The sort of entertaining that
IS done at the lake. informal and pleas
ant, is the kind which brings friends
more closely together than is possible
during a busy season in town. Hence so
ciety is devoted to the lake and the
agreeable friendships there made.
