With the approach of the heated term
society has seemed to sink into dull and
listlesS stupor, which can only be dispelled
by cooler weather. Dancing parties are
now a thing of the past, though small in
formal gatherings and entertainments have
been numerous. The past week has been
an uneventful one. so far as Minneapolis
society people are concerned. The lake
resorts are beginning to fill up with guests
from the city, and in many cases the man
of business only puts in an appearance in
the city during business hours. Dancing
has been almost entirely given over to cards
and theatricals, and ice cream and cake has
usurped the place formerly occupied by
coffee and warm refreshments.

ssWhat do you think of the reading of
The poem ''Ostler Joe"" asked one young
lady of another at a recent entertainment
where the poem had been read by hand
some young lady without CULVER why,
think it was perfectly awful" replied the
one addressed land l do not see how -
raised courage to read it," You are
wrong,'' broke in young lady dressed in
pale blue silk, as she turned to the two
with a little laugh. g was all right in
reading the poem, and those who find any
tling particularly wrong in it cannot have
very high idea of their own morals. The
poem is only the old, old story, beautifully
told, and toned down 500 per cent from
what the same thing in prose in a news
paper would be-" The Northwest has not
time to pretend that prudishness which
characterizes Eastern cities, and the young
ladies who live here are too sensible to find
evil in a beautiful poem, which teaches as
great lesson as any poem ever written by
Tennyson OF Longfellow. Of course there
are some who lift their hands in horror at
the poem and declare it is perfectly ruinous
ia its tendency, but this class is in the
minority and is daily growing less.
minneapolis ladies are as a rule as beauti-
full as a dream and as picturesque in every
movement as one could desire. Often
form graceful as Venus and face as hand
some as that of an ancient goddess. con-
ceals strength tremendous in its intensity
and a determination as firm as that Of
heroine in some novel. Such woman re-
sides in South Minneapolis. A few days
ago she found big, burly burglar up stairs
in the room of a gentleman who lived in the
house. The b. b. b. had arrayed himself in
the gentleman's best clothes, with which he
an appearance. She took in the situa-
zion at glance, and her eyes grew large
with wonder. She did not faint. Oh. no
Rolling up her sleeves she advanced upon
he burglar, grasped him by the hair, and
proceeded to cover the floor with him. He
# the jimmy was powerleSs in her grasp,
and tearfully asked for mercy. The lady,
now thoroughly aroused, and her eyes flash
ing fire, granted it not, but proceeded to
speedily divest the man of the clothes he
had appropriated. The burglar finally es-
capped and has escaped capture thus far, the
lady having been too excited to detain him.
But she prevented his getting away with
the clothes.
