About all the life thero is in society
these days is confined to a discussion
of engagements and approaching mar
riages. One can talk of these things
without any particular exertion. It
has been observed that Lincoln society
has largely outgrown the summer pio
a common thing to have a picnic and
dance about once every two weeks. Last year, after the picnic at
Cushman Park at which Charley Clarke contracted a fatal illness,
there was a practical cessation of this form of entertainment, and
this summer tnere has been little or nothing in the way of picnics.
Most people have been away for a few weeks and thoso who have
remained at home have been content to remain quiet during the
oppressively warm weather.

Thompson for several weeks, has been so much with Lincoln young
people that the latter have come to regard her as one of themselves,
and.her leave-taking is like that of a Lincoln girl going away.
