To the Public
Having changed the location of our city
ticket offico from 115 South Tenth street to
the more central ono of 1133 O street, near
Funko's opera house, we take this occasion to
offer our thanks for the generous patronage
the Northwestern Lino, Elkhorn road, has ro
celved, and to solicit a continuance of the
same in the future.
As a matter worthy of attention tho state
ment is made that, whereas, the first service
on this lino between Lincoln and Chicago con
"sumed nearly 24 hours, several more than by
competitive lines, the time is now 17 hours
and SO minutes, or fifteen minutes lees than
any other service.
By our fast train, connections aro mado at
Missouri Valley with the Northwestern's ves
tibule limited, composed of Palaco sleeping,
dining and reclining chair cars, also with the
8c. Paul limited for Sioux City, Minneapolis,
Bt. Paul and the northw mi. Sleeping tar ac
'commodatlons are reserved in advance for
Bt, Paul and the northwest, Chicago and the

A cordial invitation to call U extended to

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL
Mr. and Mrs, J, 1), McFnrlnnd wcro nt
homo Thursday ovcnlng to n largo company
of friends In honor of tho fortieth miniver
nary of tho marriage of tho pnrrnts of tllo
hostOM. Judgo nnd Mrs. Amnun Cobb, Tho
MoKarlnnd homo is ono of tho largest nnd
handsomest residence In tho stnto by many
considered tho finest home In this city of
beautiful homes nnd this was, In n hnppy
sense, its social dedication. Tho company
was tundo up largely of tho longtlmo rest,
dents of tho city, but with n generous surluk
lime of young people, and It had tho nlr nnd
tho plcasureablo associations of nn old sot
tier.' reunion on n scalo of rnro magnificence.
Tho house wns handnoincly nnd elnborntely
decornted for tho occasion with evergreens,
plants, flower nnd other effects. Hopes of
fir hung in long festoon from tho chandel
ier to tho corners of tho rooms. Tho chan
deliers wcro draped with holly, nnd under
them hung sprig of mlatletoo. Over ono of
tho pnrlor doors wn n tennis net gathered in
graceful folds mid entwined with evergreens.
One of tho Ikw windows hns sovernl nlcoves,
which presented a very novel effect. At tho
entrance to each nlcovowero pottod plants in
bloom, nnd back of tlioin stood varicolored
panels of benutlful, figured silk. Hut plants,
holiday greens and cut flow era wcro scattered
about in such profusion as to defy n detailed
description. Evidently much enru nnd
thought had been given to tho decorations,
Mr. nnd Mrs. McFnrlnnd wero assisted in re
ceiving not only by Judgo nnd Mrs. Cobb
but by n granddaughter of tho latter, Miss
Jessie. Buddlth of Wnusecn, Minn. Sho ar
rived only tho dny boforo, qulto unoxpected
ly, making nn ngrccnblo surprise. During
tho early evening tho guests onjoyod tho
strains of nn orchestra floating down from
tho bnlcony nbovo. At ten o'clock tho
musicians enmo down stulrs, nnd tho young
pcoplo found tho spacious parlors splendidly
adapted for dancing. Refreshments on nn
elaborate scalo wero sorved In nn upier
chamber by nn unusually lnrgo corps of
trained waiter. Tlio reception wns marked
throughout with such clegnnco and elabor
ateness n to mnko It n red letter event in tlio
social nuunls of the Cnpltnl City.
Tho Invitations for tho chnrlty ball, to Iki
hold January 1 1 In representative hnll at tlio
state houso, wero Issued Wednesday nnd n
corps of ladles ho already begun tho salo of
tickets, Iliree thousand Invitations wero
printed, but tho committee havo had dllll
culty in finding enough suitable names for
their uw. Tho city directory yielded only
six to eight hundred, though Itwos gone over
twice. This does not mean tlint that Is tho
limit of desirable, peoplo in tho city, but tho
fact is that Lincoln has grown so rapidly
that tho averngomnn hns not beonnbloto
keep up In his knowledge, of all tlio "nice
people." Tho committees in chnrgo nro
actively at work arranging tho details of a
magnificent affair. It has been sottled tlint
there shall bo two linuds, ono for dancing nnd
tho other to fill tho Intervals with promenade
music. Tho hnll will bo lighted with elec
tricity, nnd cnlejuni light effects nro being
plnnued. A better nud heavier canvas cov
ering for the floor than at flrst projiosed will
be bought and snvod for future uso lusteadof
being torn up and given nwny. The cloak
rooms will boon the first floor, and six or
eight experienced men will bo in charge A
substantial luncheon will bo served, and tho
Bcuaus cnaniborhas been set asldo for tho
dining room. Many invitations havo been
sent through tho state, nnd a considerable
attendance from abroad is expected. Tho
ladles aro entering into tho Bnlrit of tho
affair, and there is promlso of a bewildering
Jlsplay of new gowns.
Tho Christmas party of tho Pleasant Hour
club was hold at tho Windsor hotel Wednes
day evening, and, though not ns largely at
tended as might havo been oxpected on that
night, it was ono of tho pleasantcst dancing
affairs of tho season, Tho change to tho hotol
was made, it Is said, becauso many of tho
married members fear Tcmplo hall Is not safe;
but tho greater privacy and homellkcness of
tho hotel nro a pleasing clement not to bo
overlooked. Tho dining room was used for
dancing, the floor having been canvassed.
About tho middlo of tho program a luncheon
was served upon small tables scattered about
tho room. Among those present were Messrs.
nud Mesdames Beeson, Sheldon, Buckstnff,
Foster, Coffroth and Jensen; Messrs.

The old custom of Indies keeping open house
on New Years Day had much to commend It,
and it U to be regretted that certain tendencies
were carried to such an extreme n few years
ago that mauy abandoned tho custom, at least
for a time. However, here and thero whole
souled, sensible people havo maintained this
generous hospitality, and the custom is ono
that Is likely to be revived with restrictions
that may prevent Its abuse. Most Lincoln
ladles, doubtless, will be at home to their gen
tlemen friends Informally on Now Year's,
and the Coumer hears of two houses that
will make special preparations to obscrvo tho
old custom. Mrs. H. P. Foster will receive
after 4 p. m., assisted by Mrs. S. Nisbett, Mrs.
A. G. Beeson, Mrs. Dr. Latta, tho Misses Lat
ta, Miss Hathaway and Miss Nellie Burns of
Omaha. Mrs. A. C. Zlemer will bo at home

by Miss urunlnger and MUs Zlemer.
