," LETTER GONE ASTRAY. Lincoln, March 13, 181U. Dear Nell: It was just too lovely of you to writ mo such a beautiful, long letter. If you only know how I enjoyed rending III I do no lovo to get letters, nleo long ones, pnr tlculnrly, lint, oh, denrl It In mich nn elTort for mo to nnswoi . Not thnt I don't like. ti but I don't soom to Imvo nny tlmo, nml when I sit down to wrlto there seems to Ihj so littlo to nny. How Idoonvyyou younlwnyshnvo so much to toll nnd wrlto no enslly. I wns surprised to hear of Clnrn's engage ment to Hob Cnnder. I nuvcr could llko liltn with his red hnlr nnd f reckled nose. And you don't menu to sny tlint Tom Hnltcock Is going to mnrry that widow I Of nil tilings I uvor hen nil Lincoln Is very quiet socially Just now. 1 linrdly know whether the cause is Iout or not In other yenis wo hnd dancing pnrtles in Lent, nnd there didn't seem to lie much diff erence, but this yenr both rlcasnnt Hour clubs have stopped, AIhjuI tho only dlsslpn tlou wo liavo now Is enrd jmrtlcs, mid high flvo seems to Ihj crowding out euchre Havo you played high live I I nm told thnt It is n western gnnie nnd thnt ninny ooplo In tho enst do not know lint It Is. I will tench you how to piny when you come, out next Humtnor thnt is, If you do not know nl ready. Hut I nm getting tired of these enrd pnrtles. You meet tho win o M?oplo over nnd over, nuillf you get n stupid pnrtner for nn hournt n tlmo it nlmost drives mo crnzy. I'd n lght inther bnvo dunces, with lots of now jotuig men. Jack Is going to bring up n New York friend of his tonight Jnck is such n denr, good fel low, such n nice friend. Didn't you think sol Oh, this reminds mo of n now gnuie I tried whllo culling on Mrs. liuirninu the other dny. It's i onl exciting nnd lota of fun. Mr. lluumnn hi ought it trom somewhere oust, Thcio Is a suggestion of checkers nbout It, but tho board has n great mmiymoio squares in it nnd uono of the men call bo taken otr tho bonrd, Tlio plecos nro llko chess pawns, and they nro arranged In tliu corners of the Ismrd. The game is to get them Into the opposite cor ner by u system of moves nnd Jumps. Tlieio Is Iota of clinuco for study, nnd when tho pieces get crowded In tho middle of the lioiird it Is Just too funny to see Mr. Huirmnu Jump half way around It in order to advance n pieco one or twoMunres. Tliognmoiscnllcd halmu. An odd iinnio, isn't it? Hut if there nro no parties or receptions to go to Wb can Hnd plenty of engagement to talk nbout. I Kent you a piqMjr announcing Miss Ortinnlnger's nnd Mr. Mcintosh's. It quite took us nil by surprise, because ho was such n now comer in Lincoln, but Jnck says tho inemlierR of tho two fumllioM were ncqunluted in Omaha. I don't seo how they could let tho jNijior como right out lsildly nml announce their engagement as it did; but tho gentleman is nil old nowspnper mnu, nnd I understand ho said ho wasn't iiHhnuied of It nnd wnsn't going to bnvo nny "Dnnio Humor," "It Is surmised" business. Jnck loomsiuthe block with n lot of tho boys, Including Mr. Jlclntosh, nnd ho wtys they understand tlio wedding will tnko plnco next fall. It seems to Ihj definitely settled now that Lieut. Orllllth nnd Miss Onkloy nro engnged, and Mnud snys thoy nro to Ixi mnrried In Bo tomber. Tho lieutenant has Imjpii mi devoted of courso wo bnvo rather lieen execilng something of tho kind, but until Now Years ho hnd n rival who mndo tho result very un certain. You will recnll Miss Onkloy ns tho girl who Impressed you nt tho mntmeo Inst fall as iH'IngBoprottynuihi'.srmjiic And Just think I the lieutenant is nn ofllcer in tho regit Inr nrmy. Thnt nssures him social rank and a hnudsomo Income for life. Ho was promoted n short tlmo ngo, nnd the next promotion will make him n captain. Ho Is stationed here now to drill tho endeta ntthostato university. Jack says ho liusu "snap," which Is his rough way of saying "nil easy, dosirnblo position." Hut If I wore going to mnrry him I think I would rnthor ho wero stationed at some fort with a lot of other olllcers and their wives. Thoy do have such gay tlmos, liecaUKO, you know I hnvo visited nt Fort Omaha. Jack says tho nontenant will probably Ihj relieved from this "detail," as ho calls It. And ho may be sent to one of those forts on the sen coast. Wouldn't tluitbe glorious! I declare, I almost envy Alteon. Hut, nfter nil, I haven't met nny nrmy olllcer quite as Inter esting as Jnck. He's only a prosy "man of bushier," as ho culls himself, but there is something about him you can't help liking. In my Inst letter I told you all ulsout the engagement of Miss Fuiike and Mr. Henry Hansileld. Hho wanted an early wedding day, but Jnck says Mr. Mnnsfleld asked to havo It deforrod nwhlle to give him tlmo to better establish himself. Ho is a young law yer, anil of course it takes tlmo for a profes sional mnu to got n good practice. He is a brother of Mrs. C. D. Moslior, whoso husband is in one of the banks, and has other connec tions that will help him to business. His fa ther lives at I'eorla and is wealthy, but ho is ambitious nnd wanlH to make his own way. I think Hint's right don't you J This couple havo been Just too devoted for anything slnqe their engagement. At the parties and recep tions thoy hnvo declined dancing with other persons, nnd hnvo boon partners to each other for the whole program. This was tlio enso oven nt the chnrity lwill. Somo of the young men felt plimed, but Jack sold ho didn't cure so long as 'he could dance with mo. That was gallant and lovely of him wasn't it? Ho oven suggested our taking each other for partners for nn entire evening to seo how it -would seem. That might do for an engaged couple, but I wouldn't want to try It now,not even with Jack, as good a friend as ho U. It might offend some of my other young men friends, and then it would make make people talk. Of courso you remember Frank Zehrung. No girl over cmne to Lincoln nnd wont out any without meeting him. He is the Ward McAllister of our Four Hundred, and I don't wonder ut it, because ho is such jolly good company. Ho 's Imjvii nbout n good deal mid has the ensy iiinnuor of n man of tho world. I think I would rather have Jack foru brother, because, liecauso because woll,be causo I would; but Mr. Kchrmig is Just splen did out in company. Ho is such a good con versationalist and full of dry Jokes. Tho gos sips have had him smitten a good many times, but I guess ho was Just trying to nmke him self ngreenblo to tho girls. They do say now, however, that ho has been caught at last mid for good. The successful woman is said to Ihj Miss Kelloy, a California girl who visited hero n long tlmo ngo, Mr. .elirung has been out In California this winter for quite awhile. .and I wouldn't ho surprised if the rejiort was true. Jack says if ho wore going to marry ho wouldn't go so far away for a girl. Ho thinks there are Just as nice girls in Lincoln us anywhere. Unit was n loyal sentiment and so lovely of him, too. I wonder somo- tlmes If Jack ever will marry. Ho Is such a .handsome, good-natured fellow 1 don't bee how anybody can help admiring him. If he . over falls In lovo he is going to tell mo, be cause ho has promised to. I wonder if it will bo proer for mo to tell her what n good, clover young man ho Is. Oh, that reminds mo Now bo prepared for a surprise. I have licou nssiiiod most solemnly that Hal Young is engaged. And to whom, do you supiioso? You would never guess, so I will relieve your curiosity. It Is CAPITAL CITY COURIER, SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1890 to n Miss Clark of Cadii, Ohio. Hho Is n sis ter of Mr. John It. Clnrk, I ho rich Iwnker, nnd hns visited In Lincoln sove rnl times. I told Jnck nbout It Inst night, but ho sort of turned up his noso In lofty superiority, Just llko n menu man, nnd Insisted thnt ho had known of it forn week or two. Ho said ho knew n morosurprlslng thing than thnt. Af ter letting mo tense him for an hour ho wild It concerned Mts Lnttn, nnd thnt It wns n lit tle romnntic nlTnlr thnt occurred whllo she wns visiting MIsh Toto Mc.Murtrynt Colorado Hprlngs early In tho winter. And the pro voking fellow wouldn't tell mo another word. I think it wns Just too mean I Jack wiys the Iniys regnrd Miss Iittn ns tho queen of tho young society of Lincoln, nnd they would look upon her jwrinnnent departure from Lincoln ns n calamity. Hho Is just the love liest girl, nnd I don't know what wo would do without her. The other night, when I went to Mrs. Hay den's children's tmrty to trot Carrie, I found MIkh Lnttn wns there, nnd I noticed by the CoUHIKli thnt she took the lend In the games played by tho little om. Hho has established herself llrmly In the fit vor of tli.i girls and Ixtys. Miss Florence Put nam has n childi en's party planned for Fri day evening, nnd, when mention wns made of having someone to assist In entertaining the littlo folks, she nuked to havo Miss Iittn, "bocnusosho knows nil the kissing gnuies." And Jack, the horrid maul Just laughs mid wiys the coming Imys nod girls of Lincoln nro nil right. Of course you hnvo seen from the puorx 1 sent thnt Mr. John M. 'lhnyer, Jr., the gov ernor's sou, Is engaged to Miss Mnggio Mul len, and I understand thnt the wedding is to take plnco next mouth. Did you know of the uffulrof Mis Mnttlo (lillosplo nml Hnyilen Myerl Ulie's the strikingly attractive gli I, you reinemlsT, you used to see when wo dropped In ut Foreman fc Crowe's on our shopping rounds. Mr. Myer Is tlio head mnu with O'N'ell tho plumber, nod ho has lieen olTeicd an Interest In tho linn. Isn't thnt Nplcndld? Well, they hnvo lots of friends, ami tho wedding is llxcd for the !Bth of this month. They do say that Miss Fiiiiny Heed Is en gaged to Dr. OUTou. I think jou met her, it vivacious, btlght-oycd brunette, Inst summer nt her sister's, Mrs. Frank M. Hall. Dear mel how I have run along. I'm al most at raid of Mug accused a gossip. Hut I nm sure you will lo deeply Interested In tho alTalrs of your Lincoln acquaintances, even if you did know them but a shoit time. Hut I must close now, for it lx nearly tea time, and after tea 1 must get ready for Jack. Tell me, dear, are you completely fancy fust jetf Toll the truth, now. (live my love to Mollie, anil do write soon Iivlugly Yours, Katk. 11 p. M. Thoy hnvo Just gone. Who do you siiiK)se Jack's friend wns! I know you couldn't guess If you tried ever so long. It wns Harry Hatidnll, of all men. Don't blush, you naughty girl, for not letting me into the secret. It seems that Jack anil Harry wero chums at Yale. Jack pulled mo IrIiiihI the jMirtlerre long enough to whlor your nnd Horry's nlHilr but I think you might hnvo told mo yourself. 1 think Mr. llnnilull is over so nice, almost ns nice us Jnck, nml I semi congratulations. Hut it Is Into, mid I must close with a kiss, tell mo nil about It, do. (lood night. The Heart of the AIIi-kIii'iiIcs.
