SOCIETY IN THE IUIEECITY-

AQniet\Veek,But Numerous Small

Social Events.Taken as a whoie society inMinneapolis

last week was quietly disposed. It has

been frequently said of late that the seasonbegan too early and started off too bril-liantly to hold out long and that thoseladies who usually contributed to the

winter's social merriment had already com-pleted their series. There is something in

this and a glance over the weekly resume in

the Globe will show the early months ofthe current campaign to have been unusually

and wonderfully brilliant. However, the

gay world has not had a surfeit and thesweets of society have not palled upon it.
