12 SoctaT Gossip CUPID'S EYES WIDE OPEN. [Written for the Globe.] Did you say that cupid is blind? That man is behind The advancement of mind. He simply mistook When he said, with a far-away loot. That our little god cupid his eves couldn't find. Tae poets have told us' we oft thought it so, That his mythical bow Was bent as to throw Th.- love-jeweled dart Tbrough the feminine heart Without liguriug a bit whether a Bffrgain or no. But ibis generation has grown very wise. That nymph is the prize Whose gold forms the lies, Though its majrical wand Weaves a very loose band. Not to hold, as of yore, "till either one d:e3. We see i r aty cupid ; he sits ou a stool ; lie calculates cool : "lie's nobody's fool;" The problem surveys; Unravels the maze," And thrusts the dart home, where the money bags rule. ' ' O, yes, little creature, you're fallen from grace. And left stellar space To dwell in this place, Where m nev is all. You're shrunken too small: 'Twere better to cover. yonr shame-smitten face. —Frank Magraw. "Oh dear! how everything has changed since 1 was sweet sixteen," is a song that a great many people might sing in these latter days of the nineteenth century. In nothing is the change more wonderful than in the amount of wages people receive and the purchasing power of those wages. "Why, I taught school for a dollar a \ week, when I was a girl in Vermont, and lived and dressed as well as these teachers do now days," said a bright old lady the other day. Just think of it— sl for a whole week's i ? NEAT AND STYLISH. The illustration at the right shows a very pretty dress for a girl of twelve; it is made of pale gray cliallia, spotted with blue; the yoke and deep cuffs are of blue silk, tucked, i The figure at the left shows a very stylish fichu of black chiffon aud lace, crossed in front and fastened with a pin. The upper design shows a handsome zouave of velvet; the revere aud front are embroidered«in jet; the sleeves are formed sof full frills of black Chantilly lace. work. That seems very little, but then think how long the things bought with that dollar lasted. And when you got a dress made it was done for all time. Women then did not have to spend weeks of hard work getting ready for each season, and there are now four separate and distinct seasons in a year. ' Iv those days that the old people are so fond of quoting, things were made to last, and once made were never re-made, or seldom ever, though some of the older people still have memories, not at all dim, of certain big-figured mated als that, having served their day of use fulness as dresses for state occasions for grandmother or aunt, were donated to the mothers of certain large families "to be made over for the girls." Alas! the feelings that these dresses aroused in the minds of those girls. They were willing to allow that the material was fine and good, but oh, if they had only been bestowed on some one else! Then when the master of the house, or the mistress, either, for that matter, decided to go on a trip across one of those little old states that have exercised such an influence on the destiny of the country, sturdy New England, he had to travel by stage or in his own queer chaise, ln an old number of the Youth's Compan ion, published over sixty years ago, a good and pious man relates the happen ings of a long week's journey across the state of Massachusetts. Why, it would not be expected that a trip to Eu rope these days would furnish so rich a field of discovery and incidents as that week's trip did. A map of those days shows only a vague lot of wavering lines and dots to represent the place that Minnesota and all these big Western states occupy to day, and all of the country is lumped under the title of the "Louisiana Purchase." Cau you realize it? Es pecially wfien you hear people telling of the wonders of the world's fair? lt is as easy to realize the days of chivalry as to imagine what life was like in those far-off times. As lor the days of the "knights of old," a man died in En gland the other day who was the rep resentative of one of the old chivalrous offices. lie was tho "Queen's Champion," that sounds a little bit like the prize ring, doesn't it? but this champion was an entirely different person, and the oflice has been in his family for hun dreds of years. The queep's champion may have been a busy man once, who had need to stand armed "cap-a-pie" to fight all and any of her enemies, but in these days of gunpowder and electricity he had little to > do. • One can fancy, however, that the office is not un known on this side of the water. Every American woman is said to be a queen in her own right. Shall we say then that every American man is "a queen's champion?" The streets are full of people these busy days, though we look in vain for those who are known as "society peo ple." They are busy at the lakes, and you will not meet them when you take your walks abroad, but you can find amusement aud instruction, and a bit of sadness, too, in walking along Wabasha any afternoon. There you will meet \he übiquitous Bride Front the Country. in vain she is gowued with the se verest simplicity, or even wears her last year's dress; she is recognized at once by the discerning woman. Then the young man who has taken the care of her future on his shoulders, no other mortal has his beatified expression. Bless 'em, they are perennial. Then the odd scraps of conversation you hear, such as "A fellow by the name of Smith says ■ — " and you can goon wondering what it was he did say. Was it an opinion on the money market, or what congress would do, or the fate of the Sherman law— on to the end of the chapter." Very few social functions have been conducted this week. The reception to Mgr. Satolli was" the only one of impor tance. Some minor events have trans i spired, and several lawn festivals have been held; but no one could describe the week as a busy one socially. A great many of St. Paul's society people went out to Lake Minnetonka to wit ness the triumphs of our oarsmen and • to bring the conquering heroes home I with that state befitting their gallant deeds. One wedding is promised for the near future that will take a St. Paul girl away to adorn the social circles at Du luth. The en-'tigement of Dr. Sandford B. Whiting, formerly of this city, now house surgeon of Ward's Island hospi tal, New York, to Miss Harriet E. Avery, of Clayville, New York, Is an ouuced. SOCIAL AFFAIRS. The jolliest lot of picnickers that have invaded the shores of White Bear, were those who went out last Tuesday to celebrate the twentieth birthday of Miss Mabel Lovering; the thirty-fifth, birthday of Lovering, the "shoe man." i The afternoon was spent in boating and games, and dancing was the feat ure of the evening.

Nothing but the rain god or the wind can .stand irt the way of a most enjoyable eveuL and there is no doubt but that the influence of the young people of St. Mary's extends even to distant contingencies.

Those women who have old lace by them, or, indeed, lace of any kind, black or white, have an unusually good opportunity for displaying it to the best advantage, for it is introduced in every imaginable fashion on both morn ing and evening dresses. The lace flounces which used to be worn are LACE TRIMMED EVENING DRESS. now placed at the edge of the skirts, often festooned with ribbon bows; they also are introduced round the. hips, while triple flounces are made to cover the underskirt. Almost any shaped I piece of lace appears to be adapted to the shoulders and to the capes, which are of every form, but mostly surround j ■the yokes or taper from the waist over the shoulders, It is certainly newer to have a detached cape covering the Sleeves only, and then it should reach ■to the eblow. WaMiftl(»3fipt|Ml Our first cut shows an exquisite even i ing dress ot pink satin trimmed with i lace, headed by a rouleau of ribbon and ! bows. Lace edges cross the frout, fall i ing in a triple frill over the sleeve. Many black satins trimmed with white lace are accompanied by hats and bon nets of transparent guipure trimmed with jet. ;a. No colors are now so vivid as the yel lows of various tints, from faintest primrose to the deepest orange, and bright yellows shot with browns, In the second cut is shown a very pretty arrangement of silk and lace for . wear ing under an open jacket. It is light ! lemon color trimmed with -black lace I and merely covers the front, being 'turned under below the waist. Blouse ! fronts and bodices add very desirable I variety in a limited wardrobe. Movable yokes for several dresses | with a trill nt the edge, so that they can I be tacked over the. bodice, form "mos \ effective and convenient arrangements. - There- are - many white and black striped gowns, black gowns with white ' guipure 'trimming, and a novel feature ! in the fashions are the black nets : worn ! overshot and China silks.

Harper's Young People. The boy was covered with mud to the top of his kilt skirt, there were mud patches on his face and hair, and he had lost bis hat, but in his hand he grasped a chicken— a limp, wet and muddy chicken, It was tbe cause of his trouble, for he had thrown stones in the yard that afternoon, and had acci dentally killed the chicken.
