SOCIAL COMPILATIONS.
The Society Star of Minneapolis Not
in the Ascendant LaNI Week.

The Society Star Of Minneapolis Not
i'm the Ascendant Last Week.
In reference to society in Minneapolis. as
far as any record it Is making, TO use
slang expression, it ''gOes this way awhile
and then gets worse" Social news is con-
fined almost entirely to personal mention,
and this mention is generally connected
with the lake. and from which the GLOBE
has daily given full and exhaustive bulle-
tins. A young lady. when accoSted for
social news yesterday, said: Il know of
nothing in town, because everybody Is away;
and those who are not away know they
ought to be or want to be, and they will not
betray their presence in town by any social
affair. See?" This is on the principle of
the family which closed up the front of the
house, retired to the rear rooms and had in
serted in the personal column of the society
papers a notice of departure TO the sea
shore. For three weeks that family ecOnO-
mixed, slept, rested and grew fat, and then
Suddenly returned TO allow their friends
to congratulate them on the beneficial eff
fects of the sea breeze.

Bear. Several young ladies here sadly
walled they were far from the land where
their young heroes Sleep" while the post
Office at White Bear has been burdened
with dainty miSsiveS. to Lieut.. 4 and Pri-
yate b, bearing the Minneapolis poStmark.
These foolish maidenS have stayed at home,
on the principle that though lost to sight
they will still be 10 memory dear, but they
will find when the brave soldier lads return
that the harvest OF buttons has been gath
cred by the enterprising amazonS who fol-
lowed the warriors into camp.

1t was remarked the other day by one
converSant with the bright and devious way
of society that the season is now so dull
and dilapidated that people getting married
did IL so quietly as not to attract attention
to IT, They want TO get married and are
ashamed TO think their anxiety made them
unreasonable"
