Minneapolis will soon become fa-
past year no less than three we'll known
women have published successful nov
els-Mrs.. T. G.. Winter, Mrs. Frances
Potter and Mrs. Katherine Blake. Not
all Of the clever writer's Of the city are
known to the public, however, for one
woman, We'll known society leader,
surprised several Of her friends on
Christmas day with most charming
gifts, poems she had written and had
printed and bound by hand. The same
booklet did not go to all of the friends,
not a bit Of it, for with royal gener-
osity one, two, three or half a dozen
poems that were written especially for
the recipients, were printed on hand
press and then bound in most attractive
booklets. Anything more personal or
delightful than these little volumes
cannot be imagined and the recipients
prophesy that some day another name
will be added to the list of Mime
apolis literary women. .,tG.. .. :
Major L. H. French presented his
sister, Mrs. A. T.. Rand, with a royal
Christmas gift. It was beautiful
polar bearskin, which Mr.. French cap
tured in Alaska. MI. French makes
yearly expedition to Nome and on his
last trip shot three huge polar bears,
one of which is now adjoining the large
hall at the Rand residence. The skin
is unusually fine as the animal was
killed at the time his coat was ready
for the hard northern winter.
