Old Boreas. who has for time too long
to be remembered been in the habit OF visit
ing Minneapolis al least once year, begins
TO fan the atmosphere with his icy breath
and warns dwellers in the Northwest that it
is about time to begin operations for the
fall and winter social campaign. AS rule
the first to open up the season are the vari-
Gus dancing clubs of the city. some of which
have organized periodically for years back,
and there are prospects for the formation of
many new ones this season. There is GER
tainly no better. way to.enjoy the social sea-
son than as member or regular guest of one
of these clubs. as they invariably give the
most pleasant of parties. and as all are ac-
Quainted, the affairs lack the restraint that
too often follows some public events of the
social order. The chances are that within
the next week scores of those pretty invita-
lions will be flying through the mails and
by messenger boy, ana then the young
maiden will begin to look over her ward
robe to see what she has in the way of pretty
gowns with which TO startle her feminine
friends and captivate the society youth,
Prominent among the organizations is the
Mahtowah club, which gave such enjoyable
dances last year. This club has been organ
lied for the winter season, and will resume
its parties again about Nov. 1. The Ivy Leaf
club is also making elaborate preparations
for its first ball, which will occur some time
within two weeks. The Eighth Ward Relief
association, whose series of charity balls
given last winter gained for it considerable
importance socially, will give second series
during the coming season. The organization
is not purely social i'll its character but
rather has charity as its chief aim, as the
proceeds of the balls given are used to aid
the poor in the Eighth ward. The Flambeau
club will also be in the social swim. and will
again give those delightful balls for which it
was noted last season. The Zurah ladies are
also prepared TO repeat their triumphs OF last
season. ard the ladies of Plummer Post Re-
lief corps have already begun their season of
dances, which have been largely attended.
The Caledonian club will also hold more
of its pleasant social dances and entertain
ments. which viii begin i'll short time. The
toboggan clubs and several other semi-ath-
letic clubs will begin indoor social entertain
ments, and soon the sound of the violin will
vie with the tripping of merry feet i'll all sec
lions of the city. There is to be q grand ball
at TWenty-seventh Street hall next Thursday
evening for which PREPARATIONS are well I'M
