tanned at dinner last night at their
home 1921 Girard avenue. Covers were
laid for eighteen and the appointments
were in red. Large clusters OF poinset.
tias were arranged among the green of
palms and ferns, and bouquet of the
flowers made the centerpiece. The lights
were shaded in red, and the name cards
were decorated with water color de.
sign of poinsettias.
f. It is quite the custom, and a de-
ightful one at that, to go away for the
winter and to be able to spend whole
season either south or on the Pacific
coast, where there is no snow and ice,
no streets covered deep with snow, no
clustering winds from the northwest to
make the days bleak and dreary. If
Minneapolis people play truants they
cannot be blamed. After winter or
two in the south or west the Minneapol-
itan gets the "winter-home fever
and that is the reason dozen or more
of our travellers are touring either in
the south or on the coast just ''look-
ing around.' "Just looking around''
means making up their minds whether
they will build a winter home or not,
! at least that IS the way one of our So
E ciety women defines it. 1t will not be
30 very long before Minneapolis resi-
dents will fit back and forth between
Minneapolis and Florida or Minneapolis
and southern California, just as they
are doing now between Minneapolis
and Lake Minnetonka. They will have
house either at Daytona or at Nassau
or those who prefer California may
choose Pasadena or Riversire. Of
course, the servants will have to be
taken along, and the servant problem
will be most satisfactorily solved, as
there is no record of a maid having re-
fused to accompany the family on a
winters sojourn.
Along the Indian river in Florida, at
pretty Frontenac, there is little colony
ow winter guests. They live in about
the same way as do our lake people at
the Lafayette club. There is a charm
ing clubhouse with cottages surrounding
it for families. Mrs. Josiah Thompson
has one Of the cottages, and Mr. and
Mrs. J. A. Modisette are domiciled in
another. Mrs. j. w. Raymond has a
winter home at Pasadena, Cal, and
Mr.. and Mrs. John w. See will leave
some time this month for Pasadena to
"look around' Mr.. and Mrs. w. R.
Miller left Monday evening for Ha-
vana, which in all probability will be-
come their permanent winter home.
Mrs. Miller is now quite as enthusiasts
tic about living in Havana as was Mr..
Miller after his first visit, and their
large estate will have fine home built
on it before long. -
Mrs. Frederick B. Wells gave de-
