THE LADY KAMBLER
Discourses on Street Car Philan
■ ' thropy.
* Those individuals who take a pessimistic
view of mankind at large, and affirm that
human beings are heartless, cold-natured,
selfish animals, probably never saw a man
lose a dime in a crowded street car. The
dime, you know, falls between the bars of
the floor-grating, and the man's fingers are
just too big to extricate it Every eye in
the car, by some mysterious instinct, be
comes instantly riveted upon the point of
disappearance, and as the man grows red in
the face the on-lookers become excited and
begin offering advice. A woman volunteers
the loan of a hairpin, and pen
cils, button-hooks, knives and various
other utensU are produced. The excite
ment really becomes painful, a long-drawn
sigh of relief as the obstinate bit of silver
bean the surface, changing to a groan of
despair as the man, completely unnerved,
again lets it slip from his fingers. Even
the phlegmatic driver looks Interested, and
smiles sardonically as the man, resolved to
conquer or die, renews the struggle. _At
last some great mind conceives a brilliant
idea; it is suggested that the grating be
lifted. Happy thought. Amid a breath
less silence the feat is achieved, whereupon
the man triumphantly pockets the can
tankerous dime, and the other passengers
retire into their ordinary shells of reserve
and self-absorption, but, all the pessimists
in the world to the contrary, we know that
the shells are thin and easily slipped off. ;

Yes, my dear girl, the inventor of the
Tarn O'Shanter may have supposed that
you would wear it plumb on the back of
your head, tied down with strings, but let
us be charitable enough to give him the
benefit of the doubt, and accredit him
with better taste.

Those plaited jackets are exceedingly be
coming to gentlemen who are constructed
on the plan of a well-regulated bean pole,
but if I were a man with a figure which in
geometry could be described as a cube I
think I would affect some other style.

And now a young man has gotten mashed
on a pretty girl who wore a bunch of violets,
on the street, and thinks the flowers are re
- sponsible for the impression produced; and
he wonders that all women don't go about
with their common gowns made picturesque*
by knots of pale pink roses and clusters of
daisies; and he talks of the sweet
scent of blossoms wafted down
hot, dusty highways, and how
they soothe and refresh his olfactory nerves.
Oh, he is really poetical, this young man!
But he ought to know from sad experience
that scents of violets and roses cost a heap
of money, and so also do nosegays; and he
should remember that he, himself, is the
very same youth who waxes eloquent upon
the subject of extravagance in female dress,
and asserts that poor men cannot afford to
marry the reckless girls of the period. Per
haps were he and his friends to be a little
more logical and consistent in their state
ments,-the girls might in time be able to
discover what is expected of them, and just
how far economy may safely be sacrificed
to pretriness.

Our very young ladies are more than re-'
duplicating the workbags of their grand-;
mothers, the modern articles closely re
sembling in size and shape a large pillow
slip. Either silk or velvet is used in their
construction, and they are elaborately em
broidered, then- size allowing full scope to
the fancies of their owners; I saw one which
was ornamented with the entire solar sys
tem, and aviaries and apiaries are frequently
represented full size. The things always
seem full, too, and you are in a continual
state of wonderment as to what they can
possibly contain, and every time you see one
tantalizing visions of cheese and doughnuts
and. gingerbread flit before your mental
.vision.

I see that our people are beginning to cul
tivate lilies of the valley. With their pres
" ent method of placing them in the most un
* shaded, unsheltered spots, they may suc
ceed in raising good crops of leaves, but the
name of the flower is significant; it loves
cool, quiet, shady nooks and in them only
will freely bloom. *

! The small girl first longs for a doll, and
• then her soul yearns after a parasol. Of
the doll she in time wearies; of the parasol,
never; and the older she grows the dearer
does it become. It is always a fresh de
light to her heart and she ever blesses the
wisdom of its originator. Upon the first
mild day of spring she fetches
it out, and autumn winds blow
very chill before she makes up her
mind to lay it aside, for well she knows
that the parasol has no- rival as an en
hancer of loveliness or a palliator of ugli
ness. Of course not every woman can so
manage a parasol as to produce the desired
effect. It takes considerable experience to
always get just the right attitude and to
reconcile the position of the sun to a becom
- ing angle; and not a little tact is required
to produce that languid droop that is so
much admired. Indeed, no less skill is de
manded for the successful management of
a parasol than for the adroit manipulation
of a fan. but the result will he found an
ample reward for the toil exuended.

BECOKP OH-' A WEEK.
Society Doin_*t Gradually Disap
pearing From Mortal Ken.
. St Paul society is rapidly settling down
to midsummer dullness. Each week shows"
a shortening of the social record and an in
creasing disposition on the part of society
people to devote, the warm weather days to
less exacting modes of recreation than are
_ entailed by the giving of parties and the re
ceiving of guests. Accordingly the jersey
and suit of white flannel are donned and
the hours formerly devoted to amusements
of a more social nature are now spent
in rowing, sailing/ bathing, mos
quito fighting and the applica
tion of lotions to places which bear evi
dence of too intimate an acquaintance
with poison ivy.
Strawberry festivals are still crowding
to the front and the churches and drug
stores are reaping a golden harvest from
the prevalence of unripe berries and sour
cream. Commencement exercises again
attract their sweltering crowds. The mas
terly efforts of the senior, as he informs the
; world of facts of which it has not hitherto
even guessed the existence, is listened - to
.with breathless awe, amid the mopping of
heated brows. The land is filled again
•with the 7 perennial crops of sweet
girl graduates and the general aspect of na
ture is one of gladness and white muslin.
And, by the way, speaking of commence
ment day, they had one at Hamline last
; week. One of St Paul's society young
7, gentlemen has been cultivating during the
.summer a flourishing acquaintance with one
of the sweetest of the misses of that insti-
I tution, | not .of j the j senior class, and he
thought "commencement day would be a
good opportunity to visit her. He couldn't
leave the city for more than an hour : in the
afternoon and arrived at Hamline just in
time to take in the president's S reception.
That functionary, possibly divining the fell
purpose of the young visitor, fastened to
him the instant he | entered the . room, : en
tered into conversation' with him, intro
duced him to his wife, and ended by invit
ing him to supper. There was no way out
of it. Our young friend was obliged to go
to the refreshment room with the president
and there on. the other, side | of the I room,
looking her prettiest, enveloped in the
daintiest of white, sat the one he came to
see. He couldn't go to her, however, , and
just as he was finishing his dish of straw
berries with the president's wife the time
arrived for him to reach his train. He said
naughty words all the way to St. Paul.
EVENTS OF THE WEEK.

A Brilliant, but not Gay Week-
Social and Personal Notes..
Last week was big with events of a social
character, but was not at all /prolific. The
attention of society people has been en
grossed by only one or two special events,
but they have been of unusual magnitude.
The commencements at the Minnesota and
Hamline universities, .with their attendant
social ceremonies, occupied the first part of
the week, and the state musical festival
eclipsed everything else at the end, with a
few swell weddings sandwiched in between
them. The Chi Psi fraternity gave a gor
geous banquet at the West on Tuesday
night and a few unimportant events were
scattered about through the week. Such a
week plays anything but a star part in a
social resume, unimportant as it is in
detail. 77777 77; 77

they stole off and were made one. When

at last consented to do.

STILLWATER SOCIETY.
Concerts and Ice Cream Festivals
Hold Full Sway.
The past week was not equal to the pre- j
vious one in the number of its social and
other gatherings, yet it was by no means a
blank. On Tuesday evening Mrs. Stella
Baker gave a niusicale in the Universalist
church in which • some twenty-five other
pupils took part Some of them were so
little they could hardly reach the piano, yet
the. efforts they made showed Mrs., Baker's
skill as a teacher. Some of the older pu
pils, especially Miss Draver, showed a finish
of touch in "Old Folks at Home" which
drew forth well-merited applause. Little
Mamie Clark did so well that she went
home with a basket of flowers she could
hardly carry. The duet by Margie Leh
micke and Jimmie Spencer called for an
encore. All did well, and the entertain
ment was thoroughly enjoyed.
On Thursday evening, at the Methodist
church, an especially, pleasant time was
had. The church was filled with an appre
ciative audience to listen to a choice pro
gram. Rev. Dr. Dunn, . Mr. Rhodes and
Mr. Mills gave a couple of trios in excellent
time. Miss Agnes Greene gave a couple of
j recitals which were equal to any of her
former efforts. Miss Dexter maintained
her reputation as a vocalist Prof. Hayner
1 and Dr. Van Waters, on the viola and vio
lin, and Miss Welch and Prof. Hayner did
finely, and were applauded; and a piano
solo by Mrs. Belle Stanley was nicely ren
dered. But the musical colloquy, . called
"Mortgage the Farm," in which Mr.
Rhodes, Misses Annie, Lottie 7 and Fannie
Moorhead and Miss Dell Lanphear and
Messrs. Rogers, Gelser and Mills took part
delighted the audience, and was received
with thunders of applause.
On Thursday evening also, the ladies of
the French Catholic church gave a supper
at the roller skating rink, which had been
specially prepared for the occasion, j The
sprightly French ladles and gentlemen made
it pleasant for those who were present, and
Mr. Frank Chartrand was a power to keep
things moving. Among the ladies who took
an active part were Mesdames 7 John B.
Pratt, LeMay, DeMers, Roche, Laviolette,
Jourdain, Lamoine, Lupin, Billedo, all at
the supper tables; Mesdames Chartrand,
LeFleur, DeCosse and Valiquette at the
ice-cream and strawberry tables, and Misses
A. Founder and A. and D. Pavant at the
lemonade stand. Peter Jourdain is presi
dent of the society and Frank Chartrand
secretary.' 7 ' ' :
There were some other social parties of a
private character, in which those present
had a delightful time. The coming week
will be taken up, the latter part of it, by
the State Total Abstinence convention and
the fair of St. Michael's church, when an
effort, and it is hoped a successful one, will
be made to raise the cash to build a . new
sohool building for the Sisters of St Joseph.
Also on the same evening the temperance
rally at the hall at St. Michael's church,
was a grand success. The speeches and
songs were equal to any that had previously
been given, while the drum corps, under
Maj . Foster, blew their fifes and | tapped
their drums with more than customary zest

The New Name for It.
From the New York Sun.
The Hebrew word "sheol" has lately been
brought into prominence by being substi
tuted in the revised version of the Old Tes
tament for the familiar "hell." It would
appear, that the revisers could not find an
English expression for "sheol" which satis
fied them, and therefore they have trans
cribed it just as it stands in the Hebrew
text. Originally, however, "hell, " like the j
Greek "hades," was the exact equivalent of !
"sheol," both being the designation of a;
vast hollow place or cavern under the earth
where the spirits of the dead were supposed
to dwell, not in torments, but still in dark- ;
ness and discomfort. The place of punish- '
ment was called by the Hebrews in later '
days "gehenna." from the name of the val- j
leys hear Jerusalem where rubbish and or
dure were cast, and where fires were kept
burning to purify the air. The idea of
"hell," as of a place of torment is a modifi
cation of the original conception, but it has
become so firmly established that the word
no longer answers to the Hebrew "sheol,".
and has therefore properly been discarded
by the revisers. _' .
