Special to The .Journal. Des Moines, lown, April 19.—Gossip in so- cial circles has it that Mrs. A. B. Cum- mins, wife ot the governor, achieved a com- plete conquest of the hearts of the ladies or the members of the legislature, in the course of the session just ended. It is not putting the case too strongly to say Mrs. Cummins has these members of the fair sex hypno- tised. Here in Des Moines it is all the talk. It is recorded that J.ohn. Henry Oear used to fcay of Mrs. Cummins, that she was his most dangerous opponent for United States sen- ator. The distinguished senator's dictum is borne , out by whnt has been happening here in.tho last three months nnd it is safe to say that if Governor Cummins needed to be strength- ened in order to insure himself another term, his wife has been able to do it. What has so charmed the ladies who have gathered here from various points Is the series of receptions that were held regularly during the session by Mrs. Cummins. Her home was thrown open for these and in the course of the session the wife of every mem- ber who was here was invited to receive with Mrs. Cummins. This, in connection with many other acts. _of hospitality, on her part, haa had its inevitable effect. ,,,, Moreover,, the Indies of Des .Moines, who thronged in great numbers, to the reception, •were greatly pleased with them and altogether It is difficult to see how the governor's wife could have achieved moro of a social triumph than she has, though in an unobtrusive way. The gossips say that the Cummins family Is spending less on receptions and that sort of thing than the Shaws used to. And while the Shaws were lavish In expenditures, they did not come up to Governor Drake, who, it is said, expended more money for public functions during his administration than has been expended by any otner governor.

BY MISS BUTNER'S .GIRLS it Will Be Held In the Armory Which Will Be Elaborately Decorated. The first of the social affairs marking the approaching close of the university year-will be given Thursday evening, May 1, in the armory, when the girls of Miss Butner's clashes will give a May party. The arrange- ments Indicate that it will be something novel and there Is mui| eager anticipation In re- gard to it, as it is the first time, that the girls of the department have ever entertained on so large a scale. The armory will be elaborately decorated and one corner will be arranged in colonial fashion, with white and green as the color scheme where the patronesses will receive. The girls who will assist will be in colonial cost' nes. There will also be a Gibson corner and the girls of the different fraternities are planning fraternity nooks to be decorated after different historic periods and those who will preside in them will also be in costume. The trogram will be a delightful one and will cpen with a May pole dance in which the girls In fluffy white gowns and big pic- ture hats will twine the ribbons around the gaily tle.:crated pole. The gavotte will be danced by sixteen girls in peasant costumes. The military drill will be participated in by twenty-six girls in the Gibson military cos- tume. It is a most fetching suit with short white duc't skirt, red blouses strapped with braid, hat cocked with a bunch of white plumes, and patent leather gaiters buttoned above the trim shoes. Eight university men will assist the same number of girls in dancing the minuet and they will all wear colonial costumes and have their hair pow- dered. The program will close with a grand march, which will be followed by dancing. The university band will play for the drills and dances and later for the pleasure of the young people. Frappe will be served in a pretty nook. The affair is given to raise money with which to buy more apparatus. Apparatus for corrective work is sadly needed and the en- thusiasm of the girls in the classes has caused them to plan this pleasant way of raising the required amount. They have been work- ing very hard under the direction of Miss Anna Butner, who has charge of the physical work, and her assistant, Miss Marguerite Barbour, and the affair is sure to be some- thing unique in university annals. The Woman's League of the university gave Its annual reception this afternoon In the armory. The guests included all of the girls of the university as well as the members of the league and the men and women of the faculty. Over 700 were present.

THE ALL-YEAR HOME Superseding the Old Type of Lake Minnetonka Cottages. EARLY BIRDS ALREADY AT 'TONKA Plans for the Hotels Are Taking Shape—Lively Season in Prospect. April weather, although' there have been no storms, has not been of the kind to make lake people seek their cottages. In fact, those who have comfortable flats In the city have been inclined to hold on to comfortable city quarters and give the ainy summer cottages a wide berth until the balmy days of May have brought set- tled weather. Lake dwellers have not. however, been idle, but there has been a steady stream of people for the past month on the house hunt bent. Every vacant cottage has been inspected and re- inspected, while the available supply has been gradually reduced until but few remain. The old-fashioned lake cottage is rap- idly going out of use and attention is being turned to the cottage built for service the year round. Were 100 such cottages to be built at once they would be rented promptly. Appoint that illus- trates the demand for this kind of prop- erty is found in a case at Etfcelalor, where a citizen is building a small cottage for his own use. Since work was commenced on it, about a month ago, he has had more than a dozen applicants who wished to rent it. The lake is lower this sea- son than for many seasons past, and rain is badly needed. Given a few warm show- ers, and a rising thermometer and the entire region would be a bower of beauty. An improvement that will be greatly appreciated by the lake, dwellers is the establishment of a telephone exchange at the lake with long-distance connec- tions. Both the Northwestern and the Twin City companies will be represented in this work. Toll booths will be placed in convenient locations. There will be a number of changes in the hotels. Hotel St. Louis will be opened under the management of C. S. Timberlake, formerly of Hot Sulphur Wells hotel, Messrs. Reeve and Wilcox having transferred their lease, which still had three years to run. Lake Park is still without a manager, although several have had this hotel in view. The record of previous failures seems to put a damper ^on prospective tenants. Hotel Cottagewood at Cottagewood, which has been conducted by Mrs. A. A. Twombly the past four years, has been purchased by Henry Schomberg of. Hotel San Angelo of Minneapolis, who will give it his personal attehtiofc the coming sea- son. ' I "" '''•'' The White House at\ Excelsior, which was under the management of C. Holm-, dale last season, will be under the man- agement of W. S. Sanderson, formerly of the Witter House of Grand Rapids, Wis. Edgewocd, at Sampson> Upper Lake, Park, will be under the management of Mrs. George E. Day. Among the rest of the hotels on the south shore there will be no changes.

Chicago, April 19.—Lake View high school girls are too affectionate. More than that, Principal Benjamin F. Buck, who made the discovery, says it is worse; they display their affection in public in an undignified manner. Principal 'Buck has set out to stop it, and the result of his announcement of his inten- tion caused an incipient rebellion among his pupils to-day. He has forbidden the igirls to put their arms about each other while in the building, or to go about the hall thus linked together, or to kiss each other on meeting, or other- wise to show that they share the rest of the world's affection for them. The girls 'buzzed angrily about the building at the noon recess, and. aftersohool several of them openly defied the principal. Trouble began at the opening of school in the morning^ The pupils meet in small class- rooms. In each of these the teachers IA' charge announced to them that Principal Buck had made up his mind that the prac- tice must stop. ' Joseph H. Sheffield, who teaches Caesar., to the second-year pupils, and is not popular among the young women, grew facetious over it. "It is a bad practice," he said, grinning at the class. "It can have but one of two reasons, either of them bad. Either it is done entirely to tantalize the boys, in which case it .must stop, or it is done to show affec- tion for each other, and that I doubt if you have." '• .£.".,.. SWEET PEAS. N. K. &Co.

Chicago, April 19.—Now is the time for all good telephone girls to come to the aid of the Union. , Especially, .is this the". time; if they want their employers to give them fifteen minutes at-each end of the day that they-may touch the ends of their noses with the powder puff and arrange their hair. Many of t'h-3 girls who work at telephone switchboards have formed a union. Its bill of rights declares not so much for more pay or shorter hours as for the preservation of that priceless heritage, beauty. Under the existing- isystem they 'won't quit work till the^ whistle blows, and then they must leave the building before they have the chance they want to flx their hair, etc., etc. .Now that the union has declared for more beauty, it is confidently expected that all telephone girls' who were born since the big fire will hurry and come in.

Special to The .Journal. Des Moines, lown, April 19.—Gossip in so­

cial circles has it that Mrs. A. B. Cum­mins, wife ot the governor, achieved a com­plete conquest of the hearts of the ladies or the members of the legislature, in the course of the session just ended. It is not putting the case too strongly to say Mrs. Cummins has these members of the fair sex hypno­tised. Here in Des Moines it is all the talk. It is recorded that J.ohn. Henry Oear used to fcay of Mrs. Cummins, that she was his most dangerous opponent for United States sen­ator.

The distinguished senator's dictum is borne , out by whnt has been happening here in.tho last three months nnd it is safe to say that if Governor Cummins needed to be strength­ened in order to insure himself another term, his wife has been able to do it.

What has so charmed the ladies who have gathered here from various points Is the series of receptions that were held regularly during the session by Mrs. Cummins. Her home was thrown open for these and in the course of the session the wife of every mem­ber who was here was invited to receive with Mrs. Cummins. This, in connection with many other acts. _of hospitality, on her part, haa had its inevitable effect. ,,,,

Moreover,, the Indies of Des .Moines, who thronged in great numbers, to the reception, •were greatly pleased with them and altogether It is difficult to see how the governor's wife could have achieved moro of a social triumph than she has, though in an unobtrusive way.

The gossips say that the Cummins family Is spending less on receptions and that sort of thing than the Shaws used to. And while the Shaws were lavish In expenditures, they did not come up to Governor Drake, who, it is said, expended more money for public functions during his administration than has been expended by any otner governor.

BY MISS BUTNER'S .GIRLS

i t W i l l Be Held In the Armory

W h i c h W i l l Be E l a b o r a t e l y

Decorated .

The first of the social affairs marking the approaching close of the university year-will be given Thursday evening, May 1, in the armory, when the girls of Miss Butner's clashes will give a May party. The arrange­ments Indicate that it will be something novel and there Is mui | eager anticipation In re­gard to it, as it is the first time, that the girls of the department have ever entertained on so large a scale.

The armory will be elaborately decorated and one corner will be arranged in colonial fashion, with white and green as the color scheme where the patronesses will receive. The girls who will assist will be in colonial cost' nes. There will also be a Gibson corner and the girls of the different fraternities are planning fraternity nooks to be decorated after different historic periods and those who will preside in them will also be in costume.

The trogram will be a delightful one and will cpen with a May pole dance in which the girls In fluffy white gowns and big pic­ture hats will twine the ribbons around the gaily tle.:crated pole. The gavotte will be danced by sixteen girls in peasant costumes. The military drill will be participated in by twenty-six girls in the Gibson military cos­tume. It is a most fetching suit with short white duc't skirt, red blouses strapped with braid, hat cocked with a bunch of white plumes, and patent leather gaiters buttoned above the trim shoes. Eight university men will assist the same number of girls in dancing the minuet and they will all wear colonial costumes and have their hair pow­dered. The program will close with a grand march, which will be followed by dancing. The university band will play for the drills and dances and later for the pleasure of the young people. Frappe will be served in a pretty nook.

The affair is given to raise money with which to buy more apparatus. Apparatus for corrective work is sadly needed and the en­thusiasm of the girls in the classes has caused them to plan this pleasant way of raising the required amount. They have been work­ing very hard under the direction of Miss Anna Butner, who has charge of the physical work, and her assistant, Miss Marguerite Barbour, and the affair is sure to be some­thing unique in university annals.

The Woman's League of the university gave Its annual reception this afternoon In the armory. The guests included all of the girls of the university as well as the members of the league and the men and women of the faculty. Over 700 were present. The recep­tion group Included President and Mrs. Cyrus Northrop, Mrs. Jewett of St. Paul, Mrs. Frances Potter, Mrs. Joseph Pike and Miss Ada Comstock. A short program was given by the glee and mandolin clubs and a group of girls from the Dramatic Club pre­sented a little play. Later the university band played for dancing and the grand march was led by Miss Anna Butner and Miss Mar-guerlta Barbour. Frappe was served by Misses Irene McKeehan and Edith Steele.

The marriage of Miss Irene M. Graves and Harold W. Bennett will take place Wednes­day afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home ot the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Graves', in Evanston, 111. Mr. Bennett and his sister, Miss Cora Bennett, will leave for Evanston to-morrow evening. The wed­ding will be a very quiet affair and only a small group of guests will be present.

The young women of the Portland Avenue Church of Christ will give a parcel shower for Miss Vlra Bunker, a bride of Thursday, this evening at the home of Miss Mattie Potts, 1604,Chicago avenue. Mrs. Mark Porter and Miss Daisy Poole will assist.

This evening the senior class of Stanley Hall will give a little three-act comedy, "Breezy Point," in the school assembly hall. The girls have been coached by Mrs. Holt, of the dramatic department and the cast is as follows: Aunt Denby, Nettie Kellle; Alinor Pearl, Francese Nickels; Ashrael Grant.Flor-ence Hofflln; the Hardscratch twins, Helen Snevlin and Frances Phelps; Mehitable Doo-little, Blanche Stong; Bernlce Vernon, Grace Wilson; Laura Leigh, Jessie Hill; Edith Nor­ton, Margaret Ladd; Clarice Fenleigh, Char­lotte Gillette, Fantine, Elizabeth Calder-wood; Old Clem, Blanche Stong.

Mrs. C. * A. Plllsbury and John Pillsbury gave a dinner last evening at their home on Stevens avenue for Miss Harriot Pillsbury and Harold Osgood Ayer. Covers were laid for twelve and the guests were the members of the bridal party. A Japanese basket of pink roses with a bow of tulle on the handle was in the center of the tatae and Miss PMs-bury's place was marked by a cluster of Golden Gate roses. Long-stemmed American Beauty roses were at the covers of the other young women.

THE ALL-YEAR HOME Superseding the Old Type of Lake

Minnetonka Cottages.

EARLY BIRDS ALREADY AT 'TONKA

P l a n s for the Hote l s Are T a k i n g

Shape—Lively Season i n

Prospec t .

April weather, although' there have been no storms, has not been of the kind to make lake people seek their cottages. In fact, those who have comfortable flats In the city have been inclined to hold on to comfortable city quarters and give the ainy summer cottages a wide berth until the balmy days of May have brought set­tled weather. Lake dwellers have not. however, been idle, but there has been a steady stream of people for the past month on the house hunt bent. Every vacant cottage has been inspected and re-inspected, while the available supply has been gradually reduced until but few remain.

The old-fashioned lake cottage is rap­idly going out of use and attention is being turned to the cottage built for service the year round. Were 100 such cottages to be built at once they would be rented promptly. Appoint that illus­trates the demand for this kind of prop­erty is found in a case at Etfcelalor, where a citizen is building a small cottage for his own use. Since work was commenced on it, about a month ago, he has had more than a dozen applicants who wished to rent it. The lake is lower this sea­son than for many seasons past, and rain is badly needed. Given a few warm show­ers, and a rising thermometer and the entire region would be a bower of beauty.

An improvement that will be greatly appreciated by the lake, dwellers is the establishment of a telephone exchange at the lake with long-distance connec­tions. Both the Northwestern and the Twin City companies will be represented in this work. Toll booths will be placed in convenient locations.

There will be a number of changes in the hotels. Hotel St. Louis will be opened under the management of C. S. Timberlake, formerly of Hot Sulphur Wells hotel, Messrs. Reeve and Wilcox having transferred their lease, which still had three years to run.

Lake Park is still without a manager, although several have had this hotel in view. The record of previous failures seems to put a damper ^on prospective tenants.

Hotel Cottagewood at Cottagewood, which has been conducted by Mrs. A. A. Twombly the past four years, has been purchased by Henry Schomberg of. Hotel San Angelo of Minneapolis, who will give it his personal attehtiofc the coming sea­son. • ' I "" '''•''

The White House a t \ Excelsior, which was under the management of C. Holm-, dale last season, will be under the man­agement of W. S. Sanderson, formerly of the Witter House of Grand Rapids, Wis.

Edgewocd, at Sampson> Upper Lake, Park, will be under the management of Mrs. George E. Day. Among the rest of the hotels on the south shore there will be no changes. The winter guests of the Sampson House will have taken their de­parture and the regular summer guests will make their appearance. Hotel La Paul will open for the season May 1. The White House will also open on the same date.

Mrs. E. J. Buxton will open the Belle Alto about May 1, using the Kalarama as an annex. Colonel James Goodnow has taken the Clark House, and will be ready for summer guests May 1.

AFFECTION OF SCHOOL GIRLS P r i n c i p a l W o u l d Stop Undignif ied

D i s p l a y s of Resrard.

Special to The Journal. Chicago, April 19.—Lake View high school

girls are too affectionate. More than that, Principal Benjamin F. Buck, who made the discovery, says it is worse; they display their affection in public in an undignified manner. Principal 'Buck has set out to stop it, and the result of his announcement of his inten­tion caused an incipient rebellion among his pupils to-day.

He has forbidden the igirls to put their arms about each other while in the building, or to go about the hall thus linked together, or to kiss each other on meeting, or other­wise to show that they share the rest of the world's affection for them. The girls 'buzzed angrily about the building at the noon recess, and. aftersohool several of them openly defied the principal. —

Trouble began at the opening of school in the morning^ The pupils meet in small class­rooms. In each of these the teachers IA' charge announced to them that Principal Buck had made up his mind that the prac­tice must stop. '

Joseph H. Sheffield, who teaches Caesar., to the second-year pupils, and is not popular among the young women, grew facetious over it. "It is a bad practice," he said, grinning at the class. "It can have but one of two reasons, either of them bad. Either it is done entirely to tantalize the boys, in which case it .must stop, or it is done to show affec­tion for each other, and that I doubt if you have."

Many of t'h-3 girls who work at telephone switchboards have formed a union.

.Now that the union has declared for more beauty, it is confidently expected that all telephone girls' who were born since the big fire will hurry and come in.
