MINNEAPOLIS NOTES.
That Dance i'm the Gay SunbeamRs
of Fashion and Society.


There was no single event last week thai
was calculated to stand Minneapolis society
on its head with excitement. On the other
hand the past six days were rather event
less and rolled away, for the most part,
marked only by the dull monotony of early
summer. The lake season has scarcely
opened and furnishes, as yet, no distinctive
events, while in the city there is no spirit
of gayety moving. There were not a few
weddings, but among them was no fashion
able event. The churches were relied upon
to keep up the social end of existence,
which they did satisfactorily. Strawberries
were rampant and ice cream was king.
