. fhe social world has been spinning around at a merry rate for the past week, and there have been more enter tainments then days in the week, and the second week in June will long be remembered as one of unusual interest and gayety, including weddings, recep tions, musicales and entertainments of various kinds. -"'*..• "'*■•-■' * * . The irreat social event of the week was, of course, the presentation »f "Alidor" at the Grand. The boxes and dress circles were purchased for the season at the opening of the sale of seats by the prominent people of St. Paul, and opera parties filled the house each evening. Full-dress, as a rule, prevailed at the opera, ami many dis carded their bonnets entirely. A large portion of the toilets were full-dress— of the richest material "decollette" and sleeveless. * * People had a good opportunity last week of observing and moralizing* upon the effects of this delicate style of dress ing—and concluded that the propriety | in dress is merely a matter of custom of the time, for after all the denunciation of the "decollette" it still remains in St. Paul as it has remained in this country and abroad. People's notions of modesty on the subject are often formed upon ] their acquaintance or experience with this style— and the low-necked dress of of fashion— will prove proper to wear so long as the vicissitudes of fashion do not force the young lady of society to succumb to warmer and higher-necked garments, and to wear this dress at the opera or parties is appropriate recogni tion of the splendor of the occasion. Therefore let it continue. •.'■'" * * * The question agitating a social circle in certain parts of the city is that of chaperones and escorts. The young lady of the present day is very much hampered in her movements if she lacks these two essentials. Pretty girls are often condemned to stay at home from the places of amusements for want of one or the other, or both. There is a reform needed somewhere, ami the so ciety will hold an indignation meeting to "snub" all young men who call upon the young ladies, and yet do not provide for their comfort and" invite them to share their enjoyments at the parks and other places of enjoyment. * * A WEEK'S WEDDINGS. Lewis Baker, Jr., cashier of the Globe, was married Wednesday even ills' at B:30 o'clock to Miss Louise Kitt son, daughter of Commodore N. W. Kittson, at the hitter's residence on Summit avenue. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Pope, of the Church of the Good Shepherd. The event was a very quiet one, only the im mediate families and friends of the young people being present. After the ceremony, which was according to the rites" of the Episcopal church, simple, though impressive, a wedding supper was served. The bridal pair left on the 8:40 train for the East, and will sail in the Etruria June 25 for a three months' European tour. On Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock occurred the marriage of Miss Carrie L. Reeve to Frank W. Allen at the bride's residence, 459 Fuller street. The cere mony was performed by Rev. W. S. Vail.

The Clover club, of Philadelphia, for the second time in its existence, has been obliged to succumb to a speech. That somewhat celebrated organization invites distinguished guests and guys them so unmercifully when they arise to respond to toasts that the guests are soon downed, unable from a loss of tem per or confusion to proceed. Chauncey M. Depew, the other evening, parried the assaults so deftly that the club was obliged to yield and let him finish his speech. The only other instance I remember occurred years ago, when Col. Pat Donan swept down from Dakota like a cyclone and knocked the club out so quickly that for a few minutes it seemed i as if lightning had struck it, and every member gasped for breath. Col. Pat, swining his long arms and mounting a chair, began: " "Fellow cutthroats, swindlers, mur derers, thieves and fiab'njasters, I come from the land of the Dakotas—" "Where's that?" yelled Wayne Mac- Vcagh. "So high above hell," replied the fiery Celt, "that you would never be able to see it with a Rosse telescope." This settled it. For an hour Col. Pat continued a speech of the most exagger ated metaphor and invention that prob ably was ever delivered, It was imme diately taken by the Northern Pacific railway, printed in the form of flaming circulars, and millions of copies dis tributed broadcast. If the Clover club, as it claims, makes the fortunes of presidential candidates, we shall expect soon to see oh its banners: DKPBW AND DONAN FOR ISSS. The Clover club, however, had better reverse the ticket and make it read I Donan and Depew. Donan is by far the most widely known and has the creator | following. He was followed out of Mis- : souri in 1808 by the largest mob which ever carried tar and feathers. So much interest was excited by the event that the governor ordered out the state mili tia to assist in the operation. He was ridden out of Kentucky on a rail with an equally large following. .He was thrown out of North Carolina, driven out of Virginia, oratored out of Minne sota by its entire pulpit for writing up a Methodist conference as a circus, in vited to leave Deadwood by its entire population with shot guns in hand, Such a following would elect any man to the presidency.

A little "fresh-air child" at Elkland, who had never seen a cow before, was . watching the milking process with eyes full of astonishment. After looking on in silence for some time she drew near, and placing her hand on the cow's dis tended side, exclaimed: "Why, she's chock full of it, ain't Exchange. * A "literary" note in the Mail and Ex press says that the Buffalo Bill excite ment in England "has led, we are told, to several different republications of the novels, particularly the Indian nov els, of the Scott of the New World— the late James Fenimore Cooper." Every body who has seen the Wild West show "is reading 'The Last of the Mohicans,' 'Leatherstocking,' 'The Pathfinder,' with whatever else he may have writ ten anent the noble savage."

If one individual more than another monopolizes the public interest at this time; that person is probably Mr. Stagg, pitcher of base balls to Yale university. Mr. Stagg is represented to be a young man'of limited financial resources and phenomenal ability to- place a base ball so . that a batsman will try to hit and fail.

Such is the suspense of the public that awaits Stagg's decision that questions that once seemed mo mentous have grown trivial in compari son, and Yale men have even been heard to say that they didn't care any more whether it was the lady or the tiger.— Life.
