arrangements, and it is expected that
about fifty Smith girls will be present. |
Among the Minneapolis girls who will
attend will be Misses Charlotte Pass
more, Margaret Flannery, Grace Town
send, Florence Harrison, Helen Trues- t
dell and Florence Shevlin.
Among the social affairs planned for
the holidays, probably the one about
which the most interest centers is the
cotillion to be given at the home Of
Mrs. George Partridge, Groveland ter
race, for the Yale Glee, Mandolin and
Banjo clubs, following their concert at
the Auditorium Tuesday evening, Dec.
&c.
The fact that the clubs will not ar
rive in their special train from Chi
cago before 4:30 o'clock Tuesday after
noon, and the strong probability that
they will arrive an hour or more later
than that, precludes the possibility Of
formal dinner affairs and Thomas Shev-
lin has solved this little problem by
arranging for an informal 6 O'Clock
dinner for the club boys at the Mime
apolis club, following which they will
go to the Auditorium.
AS the Yale boys will spend the fol-
lowing day as the guests of the st.
Paul alumni, the only other social func-
ton given here in their honor will be
the cotillion at the Partridge residence,
for which some fifty invitations have
been issued by the alumni committee
on entertainment. The cotillion will
! be led by Franklin Crosby and will be
a Yale german, with figures and the
favors appropriate to the visit of the
Yale clubs and the presence Of the
holiday season. AS the cotillion will
be attended by a large number Of the
local alumni and as there are over fifty
members in the Yale clubs, the cotil-
lion will be large and brilliant.
What an interesting affair it is that
the Wells college women are going to
give. They have decided definitely on
Saturday afternoon and evening, Jan.
6, as the time, and the. Auditorium An
mex as the place. AS was announced,
the play will be Tennyson g "Prin-
cess,' and former Wells college girls
will have the leading parts, while some
Of the girls who are coming home for
the holidays will take the minor roles.
Among those in the cast will be Misses
Ethelwynn ,Wyman, Bertha Hudson,
Grace Gillette, Caroline Sewell and
Mrs. Frederick E. Underwood. Miss AL
ley, former Wells girl and pupil of
Fraulein Sheen Rene, will sing. There
will be special scenery, and altogether
the affair sounds most attractive and
will round out the holiday gaities most
effectively.
The Wells College club has in it's
membership the alumnae and former
students of Wells and altho it is a state
society, most of the members reside in
the twin cities. Mrs. Charles T. Thomp-
son is president; Miss Marjorie Higbee,
secretary, and Mrs. Stuart Wells, treas
urer. The members are all earnestly
interested in their college and the en-
tertainment is to raise funds for the en-
dowment fund. -
What busy days these are! Not in a
social way, for only a stray reception
or card party marks the calendar next
week until the return Of the college
boys and girls will make the days all
too short FOR the gaities that are to be
crowded into them. No, it is Christ
} mas plans and holiday preparations that
are sending women around with wrin-
kled brows and worried eyes. Instead
of meeting for chat at a tea OF a
reception, you will find all of your
: friends in the shops or at some one Of
: the numerous church bazaars this week,
for very few women have been fore
handed enough to get their shopping
done early ~ ..-E
