The Social World of minneapolis
Quiet and UneVentful.
A glance backward at the social record of
the week shows it to have been a particu-
larly dull one, and glance toward over
the events TO come shows nothing of an i'm
prOvement The bottom seemed to have
suddenly dropped from social affairs OF all
kinds and the only explanation given is in
the phenomenaly early start it had. Inc
Jolly clubs german at the West on Friday
night was about the only feature OF last
week, and though very small affair, could
not compensate a week of dizziness.

Coming this week the Caledonian clubs
celebration of Burns anniversary to-mor-
row evening looms up as the leading event,
and will undoubtedly prove all that is an
ticipated Of it. On Tuesday morning will
occur the wedding of Mr.. j. X. COrrigan
and Miss Kelly, daughter of Anthony Kelly,
ESQ. A wedding breakfast will be served
at Mr.. Kelly's house on North Fourth street
and the young couple will 90 South on
wedding trip. On their return they will
occupy their new home on Linden avenue.
Miss Annie WhitcOmb will give an elegant
german on Thursday evening at her home
on Bloomington avenue. A banquet by
Zion cOmmandary, the dress party by the
ADOllO club a NicOllet club EmanOn and
some G. A. Il. sociability will make up the
record of the week, excluding the usual run
of small social affairs in the line of teas and
small companies.

Last week the ladies largely devoted
themselves to sport, and the sensation of
tobOgganing Is 10 longer an uneXplOred
mystery. The accident by which Miss Mer-
rick was hurt has not deferred the others
from enjoying the eXhilarating sport, and
the soft screams which float over Lowry
hill rightly tell the fun has not i'm the least
degree slackened. A party Of Harmon
place girls has organized ladies club and
proposes to go out in the afternoon, when
they will be more independent OF the male
attendance, which is rather shy.

Among other sports. quite a number of
ladies patroniZed the wrestling match on
Friday night. Ladies were prohibited from
attending the Olympian games, though his
tory tells of fair Greek who dressed as a
man i'm order to enter and see her sweet
heart compete for the laurel crown. She had
the satisfaction of seeing him killed. The
ladies who attended the wrestling match
kept in the dark shadow of the balcony and
only stayed short time doubtless dis
gusted with the noisome orders Of bad to-
baccO. as well as with the sight of two
semi-nude bodies, rocking with greasy pers-
pratiOn.

Four Park avenue ladies have formed
gymnastic club for the purpose of develop
ing their muscles and improving their
health; and the exercise has proved so fas-
cinating that candidates are loudly clamor-
ing at the door for admittance. Indian
clubs for the biceps and sort of rowing
machine for the back and limbs. This is
very cOmmendabe and their example
should be initiated all over the city. A new
race of women is springing up over the
NOrthwest-the Spartan women of America
who have enfranchised themselves from
the physical thraldom of fashion. Let the
good work go on.
The Bonny Scots will held high carnival
at the Nicolet house tomorrow night, in
