A visiting girl in Minneapolis does
have jolly time, for people seem to
vie with each other as to who can do
the most for her. Miss Elizabeth
CalderWood of New York, who is the
guest of Miss Helen Partridge, is hav-
ing generous share of attention and
as 1T is Miss CalderWood's first visit in
Minneapolis since her engagement to
George Z. Case was announced there
is an added interest. Thursday even
ing Mr.. and Mrs. George Partridge
covers for their daughters guest, and
on Friday, Mr.. Case will have a group
OF the young people at luncheon at the
Minneapolis club for his f1ance. Miss
CalderWood will return home the first

F. Calderwood, is with her.

dar of the Delta Delta Delta sorority,

D. -
Jensen, $500 Girard avenue N, this
afternoon to be present at the mar

their new home awaits them.
The bride was showered with dainty
gifts last week at the home Of Miss
Kathryn Mum, when fifteen Of her

games and music.
There was a sumptuous feast last
evening in a pretty apartment not a
mile from Park avenue. The piece
de resistance was strawberry short
cake; Just think of it, with the mer-
curry shivering below zero, and straw
berries rs cents a pint box! Of course,
a man was host; no woman would be
so reckless, but this particular man
mas been boasting of his skill as a
COOK, especially as a concocter of
baking powder biscuits so extensively
that his friends demanded test. A
round dozen of them gathered about
the shining mahogany with it's glitter
ing array of silver and cut glass and
awaited the arrival of the amateur
chef and his triumph. When it, ap-
peared masquerading as strawberry
shortcake, there was a shout of ap-
prevail, and if this young man, who
has made his own success in the
financial world, should lose his money,
ne has the promise Of the place of
cook in just five homes.
There have been several golden
wedding celebrations in the city this
winter, which, by the way, should be
a point In favor Of the Minnesota eli
mate, and none was more Interesting

spend the fiftieth anniversary Of their
ter, Mrs. M. E. Dawson, COS Seventh
