IL ioned Minnesota winter this
H. week has not prevented society
S from making itself very gay and
consequently the week has been full
one. An epidemic of engagements mas
broken out and there is no telling how
virulent it may become. Up to now
seven or eight have either been publicly
announced or privately acknowledged,
and there are others in the air. AT all
events the thing has gone far enough to
assure a good crop of springer June
weddings, which is pleasant to So
ciety. For who does not love wed
ding, particularly a church one. with
plenty of fuss and feathers? One or
two of the engagements have been
surprise. while others have long been
expected and are quite an old story.

success. Among the very pret-
test sof the girls at the different
booths were Miss Posey Miss Carr,
Miss Bishop, Miss Spur, Miss Barrows,
Miss Dawson, Miss Ranney, Miss Cor
