As the spring upens into summer
aud the bright days end III beautiful
evenings, society enters its carriage and
enjoys drive about the city and
suburbs, or it takes itself to porch and
piazza to watch the passers-By. The
time for picnics Is nearly at hand, and
already the eager few have packed their
baskets for a day in the country, while
the numerous larger organizations and
1raternitles are planning their annual
outings. June is the month par excel
lence for excursions to the lakes, and
nearly every day crowds make the woods
ring with shouts Of JOY, while heavily
treighted steamers transport the happy
picnicers. The grocers have decided
upon June l. as the day for their annual
excursion to MinnetOnka. The first
AilnnetOn6a Yacht club race is to occur
next Friday, May 80, with start
from the club house island. st. Louis

order, and if kind nature be but pro
pitiOuS and lends a 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.
H., 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

mlllar 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
tons for examinations, and then all the
rush of commencement season will NIL
the minds of students and professors.
Only a little while and the youthful
graduate will be claiming the hOnors
for which he has been working ali 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 Access
series to the school year.
The local fraternitieS have had big
tine this week, and the stories that
have tioated 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 |
Minnet0nla, 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 profes- |
SiOnal department either for several |
trips to Europe are planned for the |
summer months. Prof. q. E. MacLain |
is to make much longer stay than the |
others. as he proposes to spend fifteen |
months abroad. He does not say that |
he will ride the bicycle into every coun- |
try, but he expects to be a proficient |
artist of the Wheel-Wnen he returns. |

of an enjoyable visit. II is pleasant |

benefit of both cities. The four-in-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 X. Hull, in honor of |
Miss Mary Lowry and Harry p. Robin
son, and was chaper0ned by Mr.. and |
Mrs. W. II. TruesdaIe. The remaining
guests were Misses Maud Pratt, Agnes |

The BOstOnians at the Lyceum the |
last of the week proved a strong attrac- |
ton, as such favorites always do, and
scattered among the audiences at the
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 d Duluth railroad, in

and teas. One Of the most unique par

Jessie Ross at 22l6 Portland avenue
Wednesday evening to about fifty
young people.
Not even the odd invitations, which
were written on green tissue paper and
enclosed in peanut shell tied with
