The Summer Season Ebbing:, and kittle Goiuff Oil. It appears as though we had come to a social stand-still. Those who were going away for the hot season have gone, and those who were socking this section as a refuge from hotter regions have all come. In -hort everybody and everything is set tied down, and it will he several weeks be fore we can commence to chronicle the Hit tin-, of the restless summer saunterers. Then we can begin to tell you who has gone boine and who has come hoiie. and put matters in good shape for the regolar fm tiviiiesof the regular conventional social ; season. Tiie inliux of visitors this year has j far exceeded that of a.iy previous year, and the fame of our splendid climate is mat ing farther and farther every season, and the number of tourists will increase in com pound ratio. Again more of our people are leaving the city and estab- . lishine themselves at some of the many beautiful lakes 'round about, with what degree of comfort or discomfort de pends entirely upon their tastes, desires, purses and pattens I say ii boldly that St. Paul does .i >t her share of tourist patronage, and she never will until suffi cient enterprise is shown to build at White Bear Lake a hotel equal to some of those at Minuetonka. While Hear is St. Paul's nd it is one of themosfl beautiful In the great lacustrine system of Minnesota, !t i- noi perhaps 'the chief among lo.ooo." but it is mighty near it. and il has some ad vantages do other lake possesses. It is not s.i treacherous as those more broken by points and bluffs, while it has quite as grand a variety of scenery. It is easily reached from the metropolis both by rail and drive ways, and this ;> ;ui advantage which can not be t«.o highly appreciated. Minneap olis naturally and properly claims Lake Miunetonka, and she derives much benefit lioin tin- throngs Of visitors that crowd the half dozen line hotels there. It is not to be expected that these transient guests will travel twenty-five miles to do their shop plug when they can procure what they need at one-hall' the distance. Oneor two splendid hotels at White Bear, where the most exacting and stylish could lind con genial soviet) and elegant accommodations. would make thai quite as famous a resort as is the more distant, more renowned and more attractive resort away out West. It would undoubtedly prove so great a source of income to retail merchants in this me tropolis that they alone could afford to build :' spacious and handsome hotel and give it lent free to some experienced landlord. This is a song 1 have sung for at least ten years and I feel like singing it louder than ever, [f there is any local pride and any l)iisin"ss enterprise in our city, it should be developed by bringing the gem of the waters to the notice ol the world and being prepared to hospitably entertain the bostßOf \isitois that would seek its lovely shores. Boat upon its bright bosom and .makethe acquaintance of its delicious denizens. Buildup White Bear Lake before next season. . Positively I have almost nothing to tell tins week. Somebody always detects my fairy stories and if 1 give a real new epi sode or item some smart party is sure to cry "chestnuts." However, I know some thing to tell that is old, but that has never seen print before. *** I must preface with an incident of recent date, but which 1 have told before. A charming young lady of Minneapolis, who ■was visiting a no Jess beautiful voting lady of St. Paul, had much to .say about the splendid time the ladies of her city bad on the occasion of giving a picnic to poor chil dren, 'Why, ■" said she, "you have no idea how splendid it is to lake the poor things out and give them a happy day in the woods, with lots of good things to eat and a sail on the lake. We had over three hun dred hungry little ones and 1 know the Minneapolis girls all felt as happy as they did. Just try it. for you will love yourself better for a whole year afterwards.'" Our St. Paul girl entered fully into the senti ment of the matter and enthusiastically decided to work up a "poor children's pic nic" in St. Paul. But suddenly her enthusiasm vanished and turn ing to her friend from the one-hun dred-and-thirty-live-thousand-horse-power city, she demurely said: "But where are we to get the poor children? We have none here, could you lend us a few hundred just to help us in awaking this new sensation Which makes you so happy?" *** Now if may have been twenty years ago wlien a splendidly benevolent old gentle man, liev. Dr. Van [ngen, was pastor ot Christ's church in this city. He was the quintessence of goodness and charitable Im pulse and he constantly sighed lor new liekia in which to work, and once he struck :: new idea. The only tiling the town lacked was an orphan asylum and be pro ceeded in establish one. He Interested his parishioners and other benevolent people, and prepared a truly creditable home for pan in.c» children. Everything was in line order for a number of Inmates, but the little cote were lenanlless, and In despair be went to that old pioneer newspaper man, Louis Fisher, and exclaimed in despair: "What shall 1 do? L have an elegant or lihan asylum, but no orphans. I forgot en tirely that they were uecenary to the suc cess of such an institution. Do get me .some."' 1 heard of a most sensible girl last week, one that was ready (or an emergency, and, while there aie many in this community iuM as sensible and thoughtful no doubt, ■ not all get found out. This one visited an ice cream parlor with a young man and partook <>i the delicacies of the season while Indulging in a pleasant chat. On arriving at the desk to settle after the delightful tete-a-tete, the gentleman put his hand in his pocket with great confidence t<> find the needed funds. Calmly he with drew ii and attacked another of iiis nmaer- Gas pockets. His fare Blast have been ex r>i«t-M\r, for his companion, ojiietly at . tracting his attention, panned Mat her pockeibook when anobaoivej. Without a word lie took il. paid the bill, and never a word passed then or since. He had en tirely forgotten thai he was without money. She now carries one of the most elegant linance depositories in the city, and he i.s alwayß in funds for fear of accidents. *** The smart girls now unfurl their parasols when riding in hansom cabs with young men. Th< y have discovered that there is a Bkylight overhead very convenient for the driver. **.* a young lady who attended a picnic one flay iast week, created quite a sensation by appearing in three different costumes dur intr the brief space of time passed in the woods. She had only carried a shawl-strap wiili needful wraps therein, and it was a mystery, even to the ladies, how she could have made so many and such quick changes of wardrobe. One of the brightest of the girls finally discovered that she had left home wearing three dresses, the outer one being of a dark material, the second a blue mull and the inside one a dainty muslin. As she shed a costume in some retired spot, the placed it securely in her shawl-strap. Wasn't she smart? *** "lentiemen occupying fine residences and possessing elegant watches, brilliant dia monds and solid silver plate, now wear pistol pockets in their night shirts in order bo properly receive informal calls from mid night marauders. *** A very delightful affair occurred at the Merchants hotel yesterday afternoon, it be inir the celebration of the'eightieth auuiver sary of the birthday of Mrs. Eliza Allen. mother of Col. Allen. A reception was held in the apartments of Mrs. Col. A lieu early iv the afternoon, and at 7 o'clock au elegant dinner was served iv the ladies" ordinary, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion. Many fine gfftj were be stowed upon the cbarmlug lady, but those which she will probably prize most highly were an Wlngairf watch from Mrs. A.
