10 Last week was very quiet socially as Compared with the preceding weeks. Save for the Pillsbury reception, there is hardly another important event to Chronicle; although there were the usual number of club socials and in formal receptions. There have been so many lectures of late on literary and religious topics and the attendance has been >■<> large that one is moved to won der if society has forgotten its proper role and turned philosopher. But a leading caterer says that people are so busy shopping and devising entertain ments for the holidays that the ordin ary social round is likely to be sus pended for a couple of weeks, only to be taken up with renewed vigor after the Ist of January. * * * Providing tor the poor seems to be a ; popular fad among society people dur- j ing the present season. There are any , number of social and literary entertain--, ments on the tapis for the coming week, fend ail for sweet charity's sake. This is a good idea. At least some of the poor Will be made happy, and then it amuses society people. --« * At a recent reception it was a notice able fact that Minneapolis ladies are becoming adepts in the art' of dressing Well. They have hardly arrived at the point where they order costumes from ■Paris, but the local modistes are utilized to tho'best 'possible advantage, and the iesultis quite pleasing. Black velvet worn en traine. point lace and diamonds seems to be a favored combination pmionn elderly matrons. But the young married women seem privileged to wear the richest and most striking costumes. .White silk, satin, crepe, illusion and moire, with a garniture of natural flowers, is becoming and pretty for de butantes. But the young matron is !>rivileged lo wear heavy, rich-tinted > )lush, combined with ivory brocade leavily embroidered. Some charming sombinations of color are attained in this way. and the petted beauties of so ciety want the reporter to be "quite Jure to tell all about it," so that their friends abroad maybe informed of their magnificence.

People Who Delight to Be on Public Exhibition. LADIES LOVE NAMES IN PRINT Exceptions Are Those Who Wish Noth ing Said of Their Last Recep "Y" . tion. ' ■' NE glance at the society column; of Globe or other ! daily paper gives the average man an idea that the process of evolu -1 tion is going on with great rapidity in social circles., In fact, those who compose the inner circles seem al ways .to be on ex,-, hibition for the eri- ification and amusement of those who stand without. Society is so charmingly frank nowadays: it is willing and anxl ions that all the world shall- know„ho 4 W| it lives and what it wears.' A reporter,^ on being assigned for the . first time to report a 'wedding or reception, feels some timidity about asking^ the hostess the names of all her guests, what she furnishes them to eat and how ■ much the music and floral decorations . 'cost. It seems like prying into other people's private affairs, and he would not be surprised to find a j storm of in dignation aroused by his queries: In reality there is no indignation felt. On ; stating i his errand the ; hostess smiles pleasantly and ., answers his ;' questions fully, often volunteering much addi tional information. When the report of the reception or wedding is pub lished, it is apparent from the interest manifested, that society demands and will have a full description of even the smallest details pertaining to any social affair. The paper which publishes the longest report is read with avidity. Personal gossip seems to have a rare fascination for people who have much leisure, and then so .many people like to see their- own names in cold type. Occassionally T is found the lady who does not desire an account of her last reception . published, y: Nor- does -she wish a "personal" every time she leaves the ;' city . V. for a few days. But ". : that type .of y woman is so y rare that s she ought i toY be dated about 1,000' years back and placed; on the 'shelves of a museum- as a nat ural curiosity. -; The most, progressive women, of to-day are those who, through the medium of society, manage to keep themselves c ohstantly Before the pub lic. Their. object may be easily accom plished in either of . two ways. A dis play of wealth or extravagance is one method, and an assumption of original ity is another. The two methods are al most equally acceptable: although it is daily becoming more difficult to assume the role of originality. It is a question if this fashion of publicity may not have a good tendency, and, perhaps from our present system may be. : evolved one which will furnish a full quota of recreation and yet be shorn of some of the startled and comic features which are characteristic of '.nineteenth, century society. y - m, GAINING NOTORIETY. How H. A. Schweuberg Is Coming to the Front. 11. A. Scb wen berg, a resident of South Minneapolis, is rapidly making a name for himself.
