THE SOCIAL WORLD.
A> the season of Lent draws to a cloee
the sacred arcanum of fashionable life
shows evident signs of an awakening. Ths
-ocial atmosphere is full of mystical mean -
ings, so that he who i? wise may read a?
the sign* r.re not easily to be mistaken.
All things indicate the approach of the
-eason of the year known as spring;
-pring. gentle spring, as the sweet warblers
of i)t!j>hi put ii. What a rush
of reeol!eeiioi:> and fragrant
memories it brings; how the thoughts
wovJd fain dwell on the sweet summer
time long ago; of the purling brooks, tht
spangled, Btarry nights,the dappled meads.
Ihe apple blos^.>'ns. -where the early lark
and thrush delight to mingle, the hawthorn
hedge, with its fragrant, snowy bosom: all
nature, indeed, becomes a song, and earth
:md sky and air minister to our common
mother's sweet delight.
The springtime is always welcome, for
how could a ftllow on six or seven ducats
;i week ailord to duplicate his threadbare
ulster which looks very red and seedy
these bright sunny days. Yes, gentle
reader, all readers are gentle, we don't
know that you have tumbled to the fact
beg pardon tor that lapsis just uttered —
but the season of flowers is upon us. Al
ready have the windows of the millinery
stores blossomed out in all manner of se
ductive spring bonnets. A nian who
could deny his wife one of
these duckies must be a brute. And then
the nice young man may be seen these af
ternoons sunning himself on the street
corners; this is an infallible sign of spring;
the hand organ may have been picked be
fore it was ripe and died a premature
death, the scissor grinder may die of a
broken heart, the first circus miss its early
daies,but the r-weli young man in new toges
never gels left on the spring racKct.
He is always on deck as large and pretty
*s life ready for the mash which somehow
he never quite succeeds in making.
clinic L* reiit preparations are being
!'iade for the proper observance of Ea«ter,

Judging from the numerous pretty
sketches and landscape scenes in oil and
water colors that adorn the windows of the

unusually industrious, and their produc
tions are well worth inspection.

Like the fabled fisherman's net, St>

her population from every section of the
country, each district contributing to
swell the grand aggregate. Among the ar

Those receiving cards to Prof. R. H.
Evans' soiree of April 6, may consider
themselves fortunate for it will certainly
be the grandest event of the winter. Sher
man hall will be transformed into a bower
v: beauty and Seiberfs orchestra will dis
course their most eloquent selections. Prof.
Evans does nothing by halves or spares no
money to have everything cap-a-pie. The
professor has made himself quite a favor
ite with our people and we hope they will
try and keep him here in St. Paul, for he
is the only thorough teacher of the polite
art "we have ever had here.
We have been interviewing Prof. R. H.
Evans in regard to what constitutes a fall
dress for gentlemen, aud he answered us
ihusly: Full dress for gentlemen is as fol
fuws: Congress gaiters with patent leath
er foxing and black silk uppers. They
look iike a pump with black stockings.
Black pantaloons with a stripe down the
side, a low cut black vest well open in
front, the coat, not being buttoned, com

pletes the costume. One stud only is worn
in the shirt front, the favorite ones being
a cat's eye or pearl center surrounded by
diamonds. White or cream-colored satin
ties are the rule, and never the exception.
Both standing and turn-down collars are |
worn.

shop. The inscription was simply, "From
your Boys, 1883," and the presentation
speech, "Here. Billy, take it," to which Mr.
McTeague responded, "Thank you," and
the ceremony was ended.
The great sensation of "the Hub,"
Joseph Cook, is to lecture in St. Paul April
28 at Market hall. The latter will doubt
less be packed with those who desire to see
and hear this noted man. Fresh from his
tour round the world, and full of informa- ;
tion on the mooted questions of the day, a |
clever polemic, carrying free-lance against i
unbeliever and corruption^ in politics, a
bold champion of Christianity as against
Ingersoll and that ilk, he will create a big
sensation here, and interest, amuse and
confound friends and foes.
. Gloves are not worn by gentlemen in
New York while dancing. A "crush" or
opera hat, however, is always carried in
the right hand while waltzing, and the left
while^dancing a quadrille. The left hand
should always be offered to a lady to assist
!ier to and from her seat. "Although Lent
has somewhat stepped in to dampen the
spirits of Terpsichore, we do not think its
observance is as marked as heretofore. As
the world progresses, people are beginning
to think. Thought, deep, earnest thought,
will convince many of the absurdity of i
such a notion. This idea of donning sack- I
cloth in order to <*tone for confessed licen
tiousness, is one of the most foolish and
insincere customs of the age." Ladies al
ways remove their hats at a dancing party,
as it is considered not in good taste to
wear them while dancing.
Many of the members and several in
vited friends of the new Park Congrega
tional church organization on St. Anthony
hill,' enjoyed a very agreeable social at
the beautiful residence of Mr. George M.
Brack, on Holly avenue, last Thursday
evening. The attendance was gratifyingly
large and pleasant; cheerful, unrestrained
sociability and inter-communion ruled the
hour. Elegant refreshments were pro
vided by Mr. and Mrs. Brack. The Rev.
Mr. Morley, the pastor elect of the
new church, was present, and
was introduced to, and exchanged
courtesies with a large number of his
future flock. Mr. Morley was very cordi
ally greeted by tho ladies and gentlemen
present, and produced a most favorable
impression. He is a gentleman of culture
and refinement, thoroughly devoted to his
chosen work, and a new field of wide use
fulness is undoubtedly opening before
him.
The grand competitive drill and dress as
sembly at the Wednesday evening,
March 28, promises to be a grand success
in every particular. In addition to the
exhibition drill of the Emmet Light artill
ery, Infantry companies from Fairbault,
Winona, Minneapolis and St. Paul will
participate in the prize contest, and merit
will win. Maj. Myrick and Capt. Blunt of
Gen. Terry's staff and Col. Lawson and
Capt. Tally of the Twenty-fifth regiment,
Fort Snelling, will act as judges of the
contest, and a number of United States
army officers will be present so that the
boys of the National Guard will be on
their mettle. Governor Hubbard and staff
will also be present at the drill and at the
close will review the troops par
ticipating. The lady and gentlemen friends j
of the St. Paul companies will be present i
in full force, and assist in spending an in
teresting and pleasant evening with the
state defenders and their guests. Ample
seating capacity will bo provided for spec- !
tators who desire to witness the drill, and !
as the proceeds are for the armory building
fund, the affair should net a handsome j
sum. Tickets admitting gentleman and j
ladies are sold at $1, and may be j
had of members of the Light artillery and
at the principal places of business.

mittee from Mr. Thomas yesterday. The
following solo artists will appear: Mrs.
Humphrey Allen and Mrs. Norton Hardte
gen, sopranos; Mrs. Belle Cole,

This week Signor Jannotta will continue
his part rehearsals with the chorus, meet
ing the ladies at Turner hall at 3:45 Tues
day afternoon and the gentlemen Thursday
evening at 8 o'clock. It will be necessary
for singers to attend each rehearsal as the
roll is called and absence from even one
study meeting will make members liable
to expulsion, as the work must not be in
terrupted, and St. Pual intends to shine in
this enterprise.
Art Sale.

2:30 o'clock at store No. 70 East Third
