Minneapolis social GOSSIP.


either of those gatherings returned too tired
to participate further in the pleasures OF
society. This, combined with the fact that
the week has been a particularly hot one,
has left but little to be recorded in this de-
partment. Small parties and receptions
have been quite numerous and one or two
very interesting children's parties have been
held. Not many of the gentlemen have had
time to pay much attention to society mat
ter, as chicken season" was too near, and
it would never do to miss the first days
shoot. The various parties at the lakes
have experienced week replete with en-
joyment of all kinds. and many small ex-
cursions have gone out from the city to
spend day or so and escape the almost I'M
.bearabie heat In weddings there has been
dearth, although several now engage
ments are reported, and in some
cases the merry wedding bells will
toll out the glad tidings before another
week has rolled away and left but pleasant
memories to remind one it was ever here.

times here than in Boston. Everything
here is SO nice and pleasant, and at every
place where have called they have made
me feel just as though l had known them
for years instead of days" If that young
lady does not receive ample attention in
Minneapolis there is mistake somewhere
