Easter is shorn of one of its glories
in Minneapolis, for we never have any
worth speaking of, altho Nicollet ave-
nue., with SO many churches on or.
near it, offers splendid possibilities.
What new gowns are worn are more
in the nature of street suits than the
gorgeous raiment seen in other
still lingering in winter weather, and
perhaps it is because, as one man ex-.
pressed it rather emphatically:.
Minneapolis women have more
sense"
There is one woman who has new
toggery from the crown Of her new
hat to the soles of her shining shoes
and she will be torn between two
desires. Her husband does not APP
prove of new f1nery for Easter Sunday
and he has promised to pay all Of the
bills if she will not wear her spring
grant his request the payment must
be made out of her regular allowance
and the question which she cannot de-.
eide is whether to yield to his
wishes or to follow her womanly
tendency to do as she pleases
There will be any number of break
fast parties tomorrow morning fol-
lowing the early service, which is one
of the most popular Of the year, even
with those who are not church people,
and after breakfast the youngsters
the rooms in search of the colored
eggs mysteriously hidden by the Eas-
ter Dummies. Family dinner parties
there will be, too, for Easter, like
Christmas, calls together the different
members Of the family, and many of
fy~oy
school to join in the festival. Il.
An interesting announcement will
probably result from an Easter lily
which was sent out yesterday. It was
delivered at the home of one Of the
girls and when She looked al. the card
she gave a bewildered exclamation.
It bore the name of the man to whom
she had been engaged until a few
months ago, when the engagement
was broken for. one of the trif1ing
causes which seem so important to the
| people most interested. She regarded
the lily in the light of an olive branch
and sent a rather incoherent note of
| thanks, which bewi1dered the man as
| much as the lily had the girl. He
called up the florist, who said some
/ thing about careless boy and a con-
! waited for the expected storm to
! break. The florist, in turn, was be-
| wildered when he heard a decided
THANK you! Thank you" over the
wire instead of the looked-for scold-
ing. .. ..,.-.... -.
Lent is over and there seems to be
nothing in prospect but an endless
string of weddings, which extend way
| into June, and their attendant festivi.
/ ties. Spring and fall are the favorite
seasons for brides, and there are the
usual number of interesting affairs tt
look forward to. The marriage OF
Miss Jane Mcdonald and Norman
Stewart of Chicago will take place
l some time in June, and it is probable
4 that the wedding of Miss Fannie Hef
8 felfinger and Harry Seldom will also
1 be an event Of the first month of sum
mer. Miss Harriet Wagner whose en-
gagement to Harry Belden was tn,
most interesting announcement of las
4 week, has not chosen the date Sfo1
her marriage, but it will not be thi.
spring.

Voegeli and George H. Riebeth will
