uncomfortably cool. glance at the cal
endar gives the assurance that summer
is approaching, and many Minneapolis
families have packed up their effects
and hied themselves to the lake to be
ready for the first warm days. Many
Others only await the climbing OF the
mercury in the thermometers to follow
them, and then society will be entirely
relegated to where breeZes blow and
water nipples, and oars splash, and bis
ters grow on unsophisticated fingers.
Soon the hotels will be opened in full
swing, and another lake season, with its
gayety and merry whirl of pleasure. will
be in full swing again. Meantime so
clety in Minneapolis is necessarily dull
and devoid of special interest. With
preparations for season of pleasure at
the lakes, and possible picnlcs galore,
there is hardly time for any great
amount of social levees.
The new building of the Minneapolis
academy, on Delaware and Harvard
STREETS. was thrown open to the public
Tuesday evening, and a scene of vast

One of the enjoyable events of the
week was the annual reception of the
Alpha Tennis club at Malcolm's hall
last Tuesday evening. The young peo-
pie had a pleasant time discussing the
future of their favorite game for the
coming summer. and many tuSSleS of
the past were talked over again, and
matches won and lost in imagination.
Thyle'S orchestra furnished music, and
the dance programme was enjoyed by a
large party, among whom were Misses
Lucia Peavey, Lucy Leach, Bessie
Petit. Marie and Bertha Andrews,
Beatrice and Alice Williams, May An
keny, Kate Stimson, Thompson, Chap

An event of the future about which
considerable amount of interest is
being manifested, is the formal opening
VI luO IOW I1OQll ~
which is to take place May 81, from 2
until II p. IN. Music will be provided,
and ample room made for dancing. Ar
| rangements have been completed for
elaborate floral decoration, and nothing
will be forgotten which will lend pleas
ure to the invited guests, many of whom
| will attend from out the city. One of
the most attractive points will undoubt-
eddy be the summer garden on the roof,
from which view of the country can
| be had for miles around. This is to be
made vertable bower, and provided
with rustic seats and tables, upon which
can be served the orders from the res
taurant which is on the floor below.
This restaurant, it is understood. is to
be run oh plan of elegance far above
| anything attempted in the Northwest.
The invitations for the affair will be out
in few days, and society is anXiously
awaiting the receipt of the engraved
cards.
1t is whispered that the people taking
part in the klrmeSS are so delighted with
The affair at its last rendition that they
talk of repeating it for the benefit of
some worthy institution. 1t is wonder
that any such idea can be entertained
for a moment in view of the reports
given of it by the various local news
papers. Undoubtedly the young peo-
pie taking part had no end of fun, and
mad ample opportunity to admire each
other in the fine feathers worn on the
occasion. but some thought should be
given to suffering public, and if it is
intended to be repeated. it should be
done in private, and admittance only
allowed by invitation.
