The cards read "at home," after December 1, in Lincoln. Tho report of tho engagement of a well known young dry goods merchant to a popular young lady, a resident of Quincy, III., pre viously referred to in The Coukiek, is confirmed. It is understood that the wedding will occur early in Novembor. Tuesday evening at tho residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Yates, a Dickens party was given for tho benefit of tho First Presbyterian church. The management of this unique entertainment was in the hands of Mrs. W. M. Croan and Miss Olive Latta. Mrs. C. P. Ladd also rendered valuable assistance. The entertainment was a pro nounced success in every particular. Four representations from Dickens wero given. The first was from David Copperh'eld, a scene between David and Dora. Miss Lulu Clark and Mr. Earl Bridge man presented these two characters. A particularly effective bit of dialoguo was chosen for this scene. Following this came Miss Squeer'b tea party, from Nicholas Nickleby. Mrs. McDonald was MiBS Price, Miss Mamo Carson was Miss Squecrs, Mrs. Folsom was John Broady, and Mr. Bridgman was Nicholas Nickleby. Tho third was a character deliniation from Old Curiosity Shop, Mrs. C. F. Ladd appearing as Sally Brass, Mrs. Colbert as tho Marchioness, and Mr. Colbert as Dick Swiveller. Tho last was the courtship scene between Mr. Pickwick and Mrs. Bardell from Pickwick Papers. Prof. Williams was Mr. Pickwick and Miss Bonfoy took tho part of tho deluded Mrs. Bardell. Following the pictures from Dickens Miss Turner sang. The attendance was so large that it was necessary to repeat the Dickens pictures. Tho Round Table met Monday evening at the residence of Mr. C. G. Dawes. The subject under discussion was "Tho Modern Methods of Penology," led by Mr. G. P. Faucon. Miss Alice Cutwright, of Peoria, 111. is visiting her brother, J. W. Cutwright at 1500 Q street.

At a meeting of the charity organization held this week the sub ject of a charity ball was considered, final action being deferred till a later meeting. Since Tut: Couuiku k first reference to this subject considerable interest has been manifested in the charity ball pro ject, and it it altogether probable that a ball will bo given some time next month under the auppices of a charity organization, or by society pcoplo direct for tho benefit of the charity organization society. Frank M. Cook returned tho first of tho week from a hurried trip to Denver. Rev. E. II. Chapin left Monday afternoon for Chicago to attond the western conferenco of tho Universalist goneral convention.

Now thnt all of tho clubs havo been or are about to bo reorganized, and people have generally got started on the autumn season, it is expected that the pace will continue to bo lively from this time on. Mrs. A. C. Piatt and son havo roturned from San Diego, Cal. Miss Katharine Kluetsch and Miss Lucy Griffith were in Omaha this week whero they acted as attendants of tho bride at the Miller Bau man weeding which occured Monday evening. In the plans which Mr. Ilickey has had drawn for the new audi torium ample provision has been made for a dancing hall and Mr. Ilickey expects to bo able to accomodate all of the dancing clubs in the city in tho new building which ho is confident will bo a go. Ho is authority for tho statement that the auditorium will bo finished by February 1st. It is tho intention to put a maple floor in tho main hall, and tho dancing hall will be either a division of this space, or tho stage. In cither case it will be so arranged as to havo the dining hall enclosed and separate from tho rest of tho building. There will bo ante-rooms, promenade, etc., and if tho plans arc carried out as contemplated the proposed building will Bupply what may appropriately bo designated as a long felt want. AT THE THEATRE. There was an innovation at tho Lansing theatre Monday evening two separate companies, according to tho advertisements, presenting two separate plays. The innovation wasn't popular with the audience and the management will doubtless regard novelties of this sort with suspicion hereafter. "A Chip O" tho Old Block" and "A Cold Day' are the kind of farce comedies that used to obtain about ten years ago. They are shabby affairs, flat and vapid, and tho "talent" is in a state of much emphasized undevelopment. In "Chip O" tho Old Block" there is a girl with flaxen hair and highly colored hose who is down on the program as Pixey, "Madge's Fairy, light and airy." Her name is given as Miss Adilia Crawford. Miss Crawford talks through her nose. Why is it that some many of the lesser soubrettes talk through their nose? The nasal tones of theso charmers are something dreadful. In the ordinary walks of life wo do not meet girls with blue eyes and golden hair who talk through their caudal appen dages, and it is not easy to understand how so many of theso nasal feminines get onto the stage. Last evening tho Dewey Hey wood company gave a concert at tho Funke. The Coukiek went to press too early to admit of a detailed notice of this entertainment. Better tjtiy yoir xxeisct suit at TH LOBE.
