Irish-American societies of St. Paul, Minneapolis and Stillwater gave a pic nic at White Bear Beach Thursday. Originally the intention was to have the picnic at Mahtomedi, but the assembly directors would not permit a dancing pavilion to be erected on the grounds. The weather was all that could be asked for, and large, crowds from the cities were in attendance and participated in the various outdoor sports, enjoyed a whirl on the dancing pavilion, or list ened to the speech-making. Thursday evening the Chateaugay grounds were brightened with the soft* glow of many lanterns, and inside the hotel the guests enjoyed themselves dancing. The Richards brothers, with guitar and banjo, furnished music. Alfred Klotts and Miss Margaret Rugg gave a progressive euchre party and candy pull Wednesday evening at the Burns' cottage, on Lake avenue. Children from the Williams house and I surrounding cottages were present and participated in the merry-making.

The hotel has been run this summer by Mr. Sherin. jointly with the Chautauqua assembly, and the season has been a fairly re munerative one. The few remaining guests at the house have taken quarters at the various hotels across the lake, most of which expect to remain open until the middle of September. The chewing gum craze seems to be spreading, and is largely indulged in by old and young alike. One young lady gives as an excuse for masticating the festive gum let, that when she goes boating she always gets so thirsty, and a small wad let of gnmletgoes far to wards allaying her thirst.

He is not particularly in fatuated with camp life, as it rained nearly every night of his stay under the canvas. . * C. 11. Grundy, of the Williams house, caught one of the largest pickerel that has been taken from the- lake this slim mer. It weighed sixteen pounds and measured forty inches from head to tail. A board walk from Leip's hotel to the Cottage Park station would be a great convenience, and especially so after a rain, when the road is in a horrible con dition and almost impassable. A little refreshment tent lias anchored itself on the grounds next lo the Chateaugay near the gate. Milk shakes, cold shakes and stomach aches, msy be . had here at all hours. Mrs. M. V.

That when girls lay off their summer hats what is left will again come in for a small share of public attention. That the science of phrenology is go ing to take the place of palmistry as an intellectual fad the coming winter. That men will do well to commence posting themselves on the subject. That the delight of holding a girl's hands, to read her character, is only to be equaled by the ecstacy of determin ing the bumps on her head for the same purpose. That stagnation breeds nuisance and unless society stirs itself pretty soon, everybody in the swim will be having chills and fever. That a family man is anxious his wife's afternoon teas should set in to justify his club evenings. That when a man begins to reckon time from the dinner hour, his days of social usefulness are over. That people who rent rooms as an ac commodation to their friends, are sharper than a serpent's tooth on a bargain. That there is a lately discovered odor about a certain mansion that smells as much like mice as scandal. That is if a lawyer around the corner sniffs very hard he may find gold dust in the air. And that all persons who are not above their neighbors' business may watch the court calendar for interesting transactions. • ~ SOCIAL. SORTS.

To Wrangle With a Flirt, Whether She Is Wise or H Foolish. Some Men Born Flirts, Others Have Flirts Thrust Upon j Them. ', i - | Baltimore American. What could be more timely this mid summer's day than a little talk about flirts, for the summer is presumably their harvest and the popular resorts their vantage grounds. Indeed, many of the dowagers would be overcome with ennui long before the season was over, had they not an affaire de cceur in the form of a flirtation to watch through its various stages. Of course, we are all taught by pre cept before we are launched upon the gay and fickle world, that a flirt is a sort of human monster, who goes about seeking whom he may devour; but, alas, precepts are quickly forgot, and experience teaches us that he is invari ably the most charming man we meet at vanity fair. He does not impress us as dangerous as he smiles into our eyes, but then we have not learned how much a smile sometimes conceals, for he may smile and smile, and be a villain. But because a man is thoroughly attractive, even fascinating— hence a flirt, in the usual acceptance of the word— is not necessarily a villain. TITEV ft/tut. So many persons err in believing a man to blame if he makes a deeper im pression upon the woman he meets than he can reciprocate. Some men are born flirts. Without intending or wishing it, they win the admiration— aye, the devotion— of al most every one they meet. These ARE DAXGEUOTJS to the peace of mind of their fair friends, but not as much so as the one who, having the natural gift, has also a keen appreciation of its power and en joyment of its results. We have all met him ; we have watched him with inter est; we have seen the other men watch him with envy. For men who are not successful with women always despise the one who is. • ■ "r^"_- The male flirt does not win the regard of women by flattery. He seldom makes the mistake of pointedly compliment ing. In that fact lies his strongest card. The men who deal in tiresome flattery soon pall. The flirt looks more than he says. It is his indescriaable manner that gains the day. Each woman with whom he talks is made to feel that to him she is the only woman in the world. If he is presented to one and does not meet her again in a month he is sure to remember her, and although he has really forgot all about it, and may be racking his brain to remember the time and place, or perhaps her name, "outwardly his manner will be as though silently, of course, but none the less deeply, he has dwelt upon her image ever since." It is the "impalpable manner" that constitutes the chief charm of the flirt, and it is this intangible, subtle flattery that is dear to the heart of woman, and so irritating to men who have not learned it. These men flirts are not the handsom est men in an assemblage, neither do they appear to exert themselves TO GAIN popular favor— it is their seeming indif ference to admiration which makes them so attractive A good example of a male flirt in recent fiction is Heathcote, in Miss Woolson's story of "Anne." I will quote a paragraph which de scribes him and analyses his influ ence upon his acquaintances of both sexes. "What was it they found to like in him? This was the question asked often in irritation by his brother man, and, naturally, for the women them selves could not give a reasonable rea son. The corresponding idea of life is not the same since men admire with a reason— the woman is plainly beautiful, . or brilliant, or fascinating around whom they gather. At Caryl's seven of eight men were handsomer than Heath cote, a number were more brilliant, many were richer, yet almost all of these had discovered at one time or an other that the eyes they were talking to were following Heathcote furtively, and they had seen attempts that made'them tingle with anger, all the more so be cause they were so infinitesinially deli cate and fine as became the actions of well-bred women." This is true to life. Women are mote frequently to blame ' -_ /~\ <== for their unre- Jy\^ vVYfcn quited affections than is the object of them. A i woman has no I right to imagine a 'man is in love with her because he pays her some, or even much, at tention. That is no evidence. He may be equally as attentive to half a dozen. There-, fore, if they choose to miscon strue a friendly preference for something more serious, why,sure ly, the man is not to blame, and should not be called a flirt be cause lie is lova ble. He is, how- what came of it. ever, contempti ble when he wins the regard of a woman without caring for her in the least; but I believe there are few such. In my own opinion there are more in tentional flirts . among my own sex. Women love" admiration, and they are determined to have it. if they can, and, moreover, they want the world to know they have it; hence this vanity causes them to encourage every would-be ad mirer they meet. • , ." , I heard a sweet, attractive debutante one say she would rather be considered a flirt than anything in tlie world. She was gifted with the requirements of. mind and person. These, added to the desire, made her in one season realize her ambition. Men called her heartless, vain, a flirt incapable of loving, and yet they .hovered around her as moths around a candle. She found that, hers- ) was not the loftiest ambition, for when : i her Prince ('harming arrived he „heard ; j of her reputation and forsook the field,' and lost tlie prize. - Men condemn flirts and ;. yet they - encourage them. - They warn others of ; their danger, and yet plunge headlong into it themselves.; ... But, after all, there > is not ras much harm done by flirts of. ."either sex as the world generally believes. Of course, there is an occasional susceptible- heart broken, but this is because one or. the other took too much for granted. Re member this, you who are enjoying your summer outing, make all the friends you can,' but don't imagine every friend a lover, and you will be apt to take a less cynical view of lite later on. |§ CAUGHT >■ m- CLOSET. CACGHT IN A CLOSET. Where a Belated Sweetheart Was f? Sniffed Out by a Dog. >.!•: Brooklyn Eagle. ... ".:'; ■".;• -■^Charles Hughes, a young printer, who ltyes at No. 42 High street, found out last night by personal experience the truth of the old adage, that "the course of true love never runs smooth." For a year past he has been paying his ad dresses to Margaret Caulfield, who is employed at present as a domestic in the family of Col. William C. Booth, at No. 253 Carlton avenue. Last night was Oharies' night for calling, and in spite of the rain he was on hand at the usual time. He would have gone away at 11 o'clock, but on account of the storm, which was then at its worst, he pleaded that he might be allowed to stay a little while longer. Margaret demurred, but being coaxed her firmness gave way and she con sented to prelong the session. Know ing that it was Mr. Booth's custom to go through the house before retiring, she hid her sweetheart in a closet in the kitchen and went up stairs, intending to return and let him out when her em ployer should have gone to bed. Mr. Booth started on his rounds about 11:30, accompanied by his setter dog, which is credited with having a re markably keen nose. As soon as the kitchen was reached the dog began to sniff around and bark, and finally came to a dead set in front of the closet, which contained, beside a choice variety of utensils, the hapless printer. Mr. Booth, who is nothing if not prompt of action, drew his revolver, cocked it, and quickly pulled open the closet door. Hughes, squeezed into a corner, was re vealed at once. "Throw up your hands," said the colonel, covering the young man with his weapon, and up went the hands. "Now come out and give an account of yourself," continued Mr. Booth, and the printer, without waiting for a sec ond invitation, stepped from his place of concealment and stood sheepishly before his captor, still holding up his hands. He explained, as well as he was able, how it was that he had fallen into such a predicament, but Mr. Booth refused to believe his story, and, taking him by the collar, led him out into the street and turned him over to Officer Wood, who happened to be passing. The prisoner, was marched to Myrtle avenue station, where, after giving his pedigree, he repeated the story he had told to Mr. Booth. The sergeant in charge was disposed to believe him, as he had a respectable appearance, and decided to send for Margaret to see if she would corroborate his statement. She reached the station house in a few minutes and tearfully i acknowledged that ail her Charles had said was true. This satisfied the colonel and Mr. Hughes was allowed to go home/after being warned against putting his trust in closets in future. -^ Spendthrifts at the Beach. Philadelphia Times. , There are half a dozen young men in Atlantic City who are spending money as freely as water. Their lives will probably point a moral before the ides of another summer. There are many Philadelphians who recall the sunny ways of Jimmy Henderson, who lived so lavishly here a 'year or so ago. His fine horses and. open purse were the property of every one to whom he took a fancy.

Third and Wabasha Sts., Bridge Square, ' ST. PAUL, MINN. _ had an office within a ; few yards of the .old stamping-ground of Jay Gould. ; Palmer made a fortune,- his customers comprising some of New York's great lawyers and club men with speculative tendencies.' His prosperity led him to rapid habits. At times he would disappear for a month and reap pear in rags. Personally one of the nattiest men on the street, he was a sight to behold after one of- his disap pearances. He would, resume his fine manners and courteous bearing, and every would be lovely for many months. He always came to Atlantis City when these sprees seized him and spend a fortune here, and at the expira tion of one of them went homeland killed himself. The statement is made as a warning to a half-dozen popular and wealthy young Fhiladelphians who are here on the same road, seeking its terminus as soon as possible.

The greatest set of rattles ever cut from a rattlesnake are now on exhibi tion in the office of the treasurer of Lycoming county, at Williamsport, Pa. The string measures eight and one-half inches and contains forty-five rattles. The biggest string of rattles on record previous to this was taken from the big snake killed near Westport last week. That string measured four inches in length and contained twenty-one rat tles. The snake that bore it was the biggest one ever killed in the state, being seven feet long. The most curious fact connected with the mon ster Williamsport set of rattles is that it was taken from a snake less than three feet long, the rattles forming almost one-fort of the reptile's entire length. If it is true that a rattlesnake grows a rattle every year after the first year, the snake must have been forty-six years old. This freak among snakes was killed by County Treasurer Eldred in the Pine creek region. -« ■» THE WORLD IS DULL.
