OF barks per diem to union ON the stream
OF life. Comparatively few are the we'd
dings to which public attention Is directed
by the public press of the city, but the his
tory OF every day-except SATURDAYS
freighted to one or more. At least fifty oc-
CURED last week, eight of which were
caught up and given away. And now ru-
NOR tells, darkly and mysteriOusly, of the
approaching nuptials of young banker OF
this city, of irreproachable morals and un-
questionable financial standing, and young
lady from the East. The names are with
held by those who know, doubtless for best
reasons.

man who considers himself anything will
blindly follow. From this decree, however,
the gentlemen of the Minneapolis club are

The week ending yesterday virtually car
rled away the spring season and brought us
face to face with summer-and the lakes.
Already city social matters are growing dull
and soon the social headquarters. will be
officially transported to the lakes. Heads
OF families have made or are now waist
deep in making series of calculations, on
which wives and daughters hang with deep
interest. They are reckoning the cost of
those summer outfits and securing weekly
and season rates at the lakes by cottages
and hotels. Where a plethoric bank ac-
count renders this mathematical wOrriment
unnecessary, plans are already made and
the summer campaign fully devised. The
| No of Ia
contain ''Minnetonka" on every page, just
as regularly as milliners have hung out the
alluring sign slake hats" in front Of their
establishments.
| Within the next ten days every summer
and lake hotel within the range Of Mime
apOliS patronage will open its doors and I'M
furl its Establishments to the public eye.
while the still heating summer weather will
offer inducements never equalled by adver-
tisement. The society column will an
| nounce that '.Mr. AlgernOn Bankaccount
has closed his palatial residence on Portland
avenue and with his wife and daughter, the
charming Miss Angie, has gone to spend
the heated term at his elegant villa on Gid
cons bay, Lake Minnetonka," and that
Miss Myrtle Moneyville has gone for the
summer to Minnetonka and has taken quar-
ters at Hotel Highprice."
