SOCIETY IN MERRY MAY.
Social Circles Closing Up for the Sum-
nler.
THE "LAST TIME" GAYETIES.
Last NIGHTS Diversions Among Those
Who Delight in Dancing and
Parties.

May is the closing month for society
gayeties, and the events announced are
numerous and the indications are that
few brilliant receptions will soon be
given. The most notable coming event
is the initial entertainment of the
M1chiganders, which occurs at the
West on next Monday evening. This
Will doubtless be an exceedingly pleas
ant affair, as the members in charge
wish to make good impression
upon the public of the new
association which is composed of lead
ing society people in the city. The first
part OF the evening will be devoted to
short addresses, reading, singing and
"reminiscences, after which an elaborate
banquet will be served. The number of
Invitations issued is very large, and a
congeDial time is anticipated.
Last night was ali unusually interest
ing one in social circles. The various
ball rooms were the scene of merry
dancing parties, and every one seemed
to enjoy themselves. The most striking
event was the May ball given by the
Merry Light Social club, at Window
nall. The attendance was very large,
80 ""o ihou0 up VI pIouluelt
young men and ladies of high esteem in
Flour City society. The May pole or
ribbon dance, which is entirely new at
public dances in Minneapolis, was the
leading feature and was greatly appre-
ciated by the guests. The toilets of the
ladies were very pretty and greatly
Ornamented the ugly-looking hall.
The dancing began at $50, and it was
waltz, gallop schottiSche and all prom
enade until late hour in the morning.
1t was grand success financially, the
club netting about s75 for the fund. 1t
was the closing event for the society,
and special pains were taken to make
everything pass off in a pleasant way.

ton reom at 10 O'Clock, which was
heartily partaken of by the guests.
The Eighth ward society seekers
turned out Ell masse last evening, at a
ball given at Twenty seventh hall. The
affair was given under the auspices of
the young men and were ably assisted
by the young ladies. The party was
very swell most of the ladies appear
