MINNETONkA

An interesting wedding is announced
to take place this fall at the lake when
Miss Rumsey of St. Louis will be married
to Stanley Stoner, also of st. Louis. Sept.
18 is the date. The ceremony will take
place in Camp Memorial Chapel at Min
only members of the two families and the
service will be read by Bishop Edsall.
Miss Rumsey is we'll known to the lake
colony, as her family were among the
earlier southerners to appreciate the
beauties of Minnetonka as summer
home. For twenty years their summer
home at Casco has been a delightful gath
ering place for southern guests. After
the death of Mr.. Rumsey the charming
home was closed for a time, and it was
with great pleasure that their northern
friends welcomed the return of the fam
lily this season. Both Miss Rumsey and
Mr.. Stoner are prominent socially in st.
Louis, where they will make their future
home. s
| w. w. Hodgeman gave a pretty dinner
of ten covers at the Lafayette club Tues
day evening for Miss Runlsey and Mr..
Stoner. The remaining guests were men,
bers of the Rumsey family. >8jt +
The principal interest at Lafayette club
centers just now about the golf contest for
the Eliel cup, to be played tomorrow and
Saturday afternoons. The final qualifying
round tomorrow will be entered by a
large number of club players, but it is ex
pected that Saturdays finals will see but
few holders Of high scores to strive for
the cup.
The musical evening to be arranged by
Phil Brooks IS announced for Sept. 20 and
promises to be most interesting. 1t has
been difficult to get the Viking players
together, as many are enjoying vacation
trips at a distance. But a sufficient num-
ber of musicians and readers have been
secured to make the evening delight
full one. An informal dancing party will
follow the entertainment and will COM
plete the pleasures of the evening.
| A pretty affair for the younger set will
be given at the club Saturday when Miss
Truesdell will entertain twenty-five
guests at dinner.
G. R. Clark gave a beautiful dinner at
| the club last evening to ten guests. The
| floral decorations were arranged in the
| form Of horizontal bar suspended above
the table from which were hung the host S
initials, G. R. c., prettily outlined in flow
ers.
Mrs. G., F. Stevens, St. Paul, gave a
charming luncheon to ten women yester-
day at the club. The table was arranged

evenings and busy days.
| The weekly hop at Hotel del ,Otero to-
morrow evening will attract large party
Of town guests who will go out for dinner
and return by the 10:4O train. The town
dancers find 1t especially convenient to
opportunity to enjoy two hours pleasure
dancing begins early and gives them an
| opportunity to enojy two hours pleasure
| before time to return. The use of the
| pavilion as a ballroom makes it easy to
start dancing earlier than in the hotels
where the dining-room must be cleared,
and the young people are quick to appre-
ciate the difference.
