and rich. others neat and trim, and none
more so than that of the young maiden
of tender wears of slender build. who
has one of those sweet gauZe bOnnetS
mantling a sweet demure face, ana
tight-fitting simple suit that seems to
enhance her young grace. The season
is getting too far advanced for indoor
social pleasures ofany great magnitude,
the majority of Society's votarleS lmpa-
tiently awaiting the lake season, with
its mammoth levees and social spreads,
its picnics and lawn parties. its tennis,
boating. and every other form of inno-
cent amusement peculiar to summer re-
sorts.
An affair of great prominence was the
reception rendered by Maj. and Mrs. N.
F. Warner Tuesday evening at Plum
mer post hall to the gallant veterans OF
the old First Minnesota, the heroes OF
Gettysburg. 1t was happy asse nbiage,
and the old soldiers and their lady
friends to the number of over two hun
dred threw off all restraint and enjoyed
themselves as only old soldier boys and
their families know how. Rev. w: II.
Harrington delivered the invocation.
and then Mayor Babb made speech IN
which he showed how little he knew
about oratory and grammar. He caught
the boys, however, by an invitation for
them to take home anything that
pleased them in Minneapolis. Judge
Ell Torrance delivered an euloglstlc adj
dress, and Judge Lochren made the Old
heroes warm in their hearts by apt rem
iniscences of the stirring times in which
the Minnesota regiment took such an
active and neyer-to- be-forgotten part.
There was shade of sadness felt when
the roster Of the dead for the year was
read. but during the evening JOY was
uncOnfned.
OF course the Kirmess at the Harris
was classed as a social affair, and as
such was somewhat of success, al
though the friends of the participants
did not turn out in mammoth numbers
to witness the peculiaritleS and eccen-
tricities OF the youths and maidens upon
the mimic stage. Volumes might be
written upon the individual shortcom-
ings of many of the actors, but charity
forbids. OF course, there is no DENYING
the fact that sthe cOStuming was brill
ianU,dnd it was no fault of the costumer
if the forms upon which his art was dis
played failed to show off the brilliant
suits to the best advantage. The Anna
IONS, led by Miss Sarah Towne, are
worthy of all praise, and were admired
by all who attended. The singing OF
Miss Anna Pratt was appreciated. The
dancing of Miss Matte Murch was of
the highest order of excellence, and was
worthy to be included in better galaxy
of performers. Yet the participants
had no end of fun out of the affair, and
probably care little what the dear pub
lie think of it.
The most brilliant affair of the week
was the ball of the Bon Ton club at the
Holmes hotel Thursday evening. The
members of the club are pupils Of L. NJ.
Sherman's dancing class. Elegant
dresses we're the rule rather than the
exception, and the parlors of the hotel
presented a gala occasion. The even
ing's entertainment was eXcellently
managed, Prof. Sherman acting as mas
ter of ceremonies. Following are some
of the society people present: James
Mcintosh. A. 0. YerXa, j. F. Calder

The May party to be given by the
Flambeau club on Friday, May 16,
promises to be the most brilliant of any
of the affairs that have been given by
this popular club. Masonic Temple
will have on its most festive appear
ance, elaborate preparations being I'M
der way for floral and other decorations.
Among the attractions to be presented
will be a drill by squad of twenty-four
picked men from the club III the brill
liant uniform they affect. Ringwald'S
orchestra will furnish the music, and
society is not little excited over what
Will probably be the last brilliant event
of the season.
