LAKE MINNETONKA

LAKE hlNNETONKA
OF all the beauty spots at Lake Min
netonka, there is perhaps no prettier place
than the Crystal Bay shore, which extends I
from the Lafayette clubhouse grounds, in |
winding graceful curves, down to Arcola. /
Since early spring the Crystal Bay I'm
provement league has been improving the I
land, and the avenue, known as Crystal |
Bay avenue, has been beautifully laid out |
ana is kept In order by the league. f. 3. |
Dodge Is president of the league and
Frank A. Bovey secretary and treasurer. |
These two officers own attractive places
on the shore, and both are enthusiastic
In keeping up and In improving on ma
lures work wherever it is possible. The
property owners Of the avenue have be-
come sufficiently interested and have as
sessed themselves to a certain amount
each month so the league is enabled to
keep man employed whose sole duty It
is to be constantly at work improving the
shore. winding gravel walk has been
laid out, the broad avenue has been
boulevarded shrubberyI and flower beds
have been arranged among the velvety
lawns, the tall, towering trees. which are
the pride of residents In that section, are
being kept trimmed, and the cultivatinG
hand of the landscape gardener is noticed
all along the avenue. The beautiful places
and summer homes located on the point
are worthy Of so inviting a setting and
from the Frank Moore home on the way is a
succession OF exquisitely laid-out grounds
setting off the handsome summer homes.
Among these pretty places are Frank
Moore's, the Octogan cottage, owned by
G. w. Sexton; the F. B. Dodge home, with
Its finely kept lawns, gently sloping under
/ high trees; next to the Dodge place Is the
S. E. Neiler cottage. the Henry Doerr the
r>1o
next, and close together are the DR.. Hill
| and Bovey places. Mrs. NJ Porter Is also
| one Of the property owners, and the row
| Of homes ends with L. e. Kelly's pictur-
esque log cabin.
| Mrs. W. P. Mcdonald entertained the
Union Of Circles, Ladies of the G. A. R.,
Monday, at her lake home. Sixty Of the
members came out on the early morning
train and half of that number joined the
group In the afternoon. Mrs. A. T. An
derson, past national president, read the
reports from the home board and Mrs.
Julia F. Lobdell, past department presi-
dent of Minnesota, gave q general report
concerning the work Of the ladies Of the
Grand Army of the Republic. After the
meeting q program of music ana reading
was given. Mrs. McNana gave humorous
recitations and Miss Kate Johnson con-
tributed piona selections. The rooms were
prettily decorated in red, white and blue
and the national colors were carried out
with batchelor buttons, red nasturtiums
and white daisies. On the piazzas ferns
and wild flowers made an appropriate set
ting for the party. The dinner, which was
served by the hostess, included delicious
Boston beans and two gallons Of the spicy
national dish were consumed In a remark
ably short time.
