enjoys a drive about the city anC
suburbs, or it takes itself to porch anC
piazza to watch the passers-By. The
time for picnics IS nearly at hand, anc
already the eager few have packed theil
baskets for day in the country, while
the numerous larger organizations and
fraternitles are planning their annual
outings. June is the month par excel
lence for excursions to the lakes, anC
nearly every day crowds make the woods
ring with shouts of joy. while heavily
freighted steamers transport the happy
picnicers. The grocers have decided
upon June II as the day for their annual
excursion to Minnetonka. The first
Mnnetonka Yacht club race is to occur
next Friday, May 50, with a start
from the club house island. st. Louis
bay. Yachts are rapidly being put in
order, and if kind nature be but pro-
pitiouS and lends good breeze for the
occasion the day promises to be full of
pleasure and excitement. The Mllwau-
kee road runs out special train at a.
M, to return at p. IN. The starting
salute is to be fired at 1920 a. m, and
following the regatta lunch baskets will
be emptied, and there will be speeches
and informal dancing. The cottages
around the lake are filling up, and in
less than four weeks the first month of
the season will be almost over. People
are more enthusiastic this year than
ever before, and there will be many ia
millar faces in the favOrite haunts.
The university life is full of excite
ment these days. Following the we'd
dings of last week come busy prepare
tiOnS for examinations, and then all the
rush of commencement season will nil
the minds of students and professors.
Only little while and the youthful
graduate will be claiming the honors
for which he has been working all these
months. The first week in June will be
devoted to class day, field day, COM
mencement day, and the other social
features that form so pleasant aeceS-
series to the school year.
The local fraternitieS have had big
time this week, and the stories that
have fioated down from the banquet
halls, where Theta Phis, Psi Wis, or
Della X. ELS. dined in state, were
enough to offer convincing proof that
when 'Greek joined Greek there was
the tug of war" The post
poned picnic of the junior class
is to occur next Friday at
Minnetonka, where the day is TO be
passed principally at the home of Mabel
Austin. The seniors likewise enjoy
the day at the lake, and there are pretty
sure to be some great goings-on in the
vicinity. All is not quiet in the profess
sional department either for several
trips to Europe are planned for the
summer months. Prof G. E. MacLain

summer in foreign cline. Among the
many who are to sail from New York

week.
Miss Mable Shaw. daughter OF j. M.
Shaw, also sails early in the month, with
small party of relatives and friends
from Chicago. She leaves MINNEAPOLIS
In about week.
The Town and Country club is de-
Hghtful resort these quiet evenings,
and the members of the club never fail
of an enjoyable visit. 1t is pleasant
thing to have midway resort for the
benefit of both cities. The four-n-hand
coach carried a small party to the Town
and Country club Monday night. The
start was made early in the evening, and
the drive there and back with a pleas
ant wait at the club, occupied but a
comp aratively short time. The party
was given by Louis K. Hull, in honor of
Miss Mary Lowry and Harry p Robin
son, and was chaperoned by Mr.. and
Mrs. w. H.Truesdale. The remaining
guests were Misses Maud Pratt, Agnes
McNair and S. j. Carpenter.
The BOstonianS at the Lyceum the
last of the week proved strong attrac-
ton, as such favoriteS always do, and
scattered among the audiences at the
different performances were numerous
box parties. A notable one of Saturday
afternoon consisted of about fifteen ST.
Paul people and friends. The party
was given by Mr.. Bliss, vice president
ofthe st. Paul IL Duluth railroad, in
honor Of his guest, DR.. Routh, of Wash
ingtOn, a surgeon of the army. Among
the party were noticed Mr.. and Mrs. +.
Driscoll. Miss SeXius, Miss Howe;
Messrs. Rantoul. Shipwith, Hyndman,
and Mr.. and Mrs, A, Is. Jackson. of Min
Geapolis.
Though after the feast came the
famine, and the past few days have
been but partially filled with gay do
ings and a small contingent of we'd
dingS, there have been various dinners
and teas. One Of the most unique par
ties was planned and given by Miss
Jessie Ross at 2216 Portland avenue
Wednesday evening to about fifty
young people.
Not even the odd invitations, which
were written on green tissue paper and
enclosed in a peanut shell tied with
pink ribbon, and bearing the word
'Salamagundi," could give any idea of
what the programme would be- That
the hostess must be an adept at
unique entertainments, was amply
verified. Each invitation likewise
bore the request ''R. S. V.Pin Rhyme.,'
Many decidedly original couplets were
received, which proved concluSvely
that there are several embryo geniuses.

into volumes of song. The first mo-
ments of the evening were devoted to
the reading of these effusions, and the
applause was genuine if iDdiScrimi-
nately bestowed. An observation bowl
containing numerous articles taxed the
memory powers of the guest, and finally
the prize was given to Will Adm for
the longest list of remembered objects.
Following jolly supper, of which pea
nuts formed no inconsiderabie feature,
a '.gmn molding" contest occupied the
