In social way at Lake Minnetonka
during the past week. especially at the
Hotel St. Louis, where the tennis tour
nament has been in progress. and the
hotel has been the scene of the height
of gayety for the whole week. Every
evening has had something to
offer in the way of amusement, and
the balance of the pretty lake spots
have been almost depopulated each
evening, so great has been the
attendance at the tennis hops an sail
ing parties that the clubs have given in
honor of their visitors and the cham
pions of the racquet. During the day
the lawns about the hotel have been
literally swarming with bright blazers
and natty costumes, while vast amount
of interest centered i'll the close and
brilliant contests that have been the
rule rather than the exception. Ihere
were a few showers during the week, but
OH the whole the weather was proplt-
ious, and few will forget the gala week
that has been passed in company with
