Charles Dtiilley Warner, In tho current Is sue of Harper's, comes to tho rescue of so ciety tho femalo two-thlnls which is sup posed to bo Millering from n sovero attack of ennui duo to Into hours and general dissipa tion, with n remedy dubbed "Conversation Lunch." To bo sure all ladies' lunches nro conversation lunches; but Mr. Charles Dudley Warner's aro of an extra quality. It Is pro Kcd to mlnglo mental pabulum wllli tho dainty morsels of physical refreihment In n way that will lo at tho same tlmo improving and entertaining. Tho topic of conversation Is supplied by the hostess, and the subject must bo one that will Interest and draw out tho guests. Not more thnn one lady Is er inltted to speak at once, and all talk must bo general. Tho speaker must adhere closely to tho subject and tho listeners are expected to maintain perfect silence. Topics may bo written on slips of paper ami folded in the napkins, or mnybo assigned verbally. Who will givo tbo first Conversation Lunch in Lincoln? Who wouldn't attend n church fair when, for it paltry twenty-llvo cents you might kiss tho prettiest girl In tho congregation? No single young man who has any respect for himself csuld eschew such an entertainment, and it is no wonder that tho kissing beo re cently given by tlio young ladies of a Long Is land Presbyterian church in connection with theconventlonal fair was a tumultuous success Tlio ladles were pretty and tho men tumbled over themselves in their eagerness to press tho cutely puckered lips and blushing cheeks cf tho meek and lovely maidens. Quarters flowed like water. The lino of men at tho kissing booth was never broken. One kiss was only an aggravation and the young bloods only stopped osculating when their money wus gono or time was called. Of course tho prettier the girls tho moro success ful tho fair. How tho quartors would scatter If tho capital city's fair ones embraced this latest eastern novelty I "What Is tolitlcal economy!" asks a sub scriber. When an office holder succeeds In saving 10,000 per year out or n $2,000 ofllco that's political economy. Next to tho Mrs. Astor controversy the ex act social status of tho college student who serves com fritters nnd iced tea to the nlry fairy summer girl, Is tho most troublesome question at eastern tileasure resort h. Whether "between meals" ho should be regarded as a servant or a guest is n problem that gives no little, uneasiness to tho "managing mammas" and the young men board ere. Tho girls In cline to tho student-waiters, whose moral heroism they profess to admire,andthe plain, ordinary, every day society youth Is discon solate. If a halt is not soon called there may be trouble at some of tho select resorts. In the meantlmo the girl who spoons with the waiter while of duty continues to get tho largest dish of ico cream und the piece, of cake, with tho most raisins in it. The iiewspajier man who, tho other day in formed n fair inquirer that it would not bo proper for a young lady to accept an Invita tion to the. theater from a gentleman whoso acquaintance sho had mado but a fow hours since at a picnic, on tho ground that sho did not know tho gentleman well enough, can never have attended a picnic. Tho pleiunntcst time in tho year tho No bruska year Is here. It Is altogether too pleasant to remain indoors, and noltody should. Walking parties lire much In voguo In the far east at this season and there is no reason why they should not bo popular in this favored locality. English women nro fam ous walkers. Their American cousins uro mere novices In this respect. No outdoor exercise in which women can engago is moro healthful and it is strnugo that walking has never been thoroughly iKtpuInrized in this country. In these bright August days n walk in tho early morning Is wonderfully ex hileratlng. Walking parties for women should bo encouraged. Tho ninn who has been trying to llnd put w hero all the pins go Is now endeavoring to ascertain what Incomes of tho summer girl when the gladsome summer wuues and dlsup penrs. It is ns natural for most girls to lllrt (Just a little if you please) as it Is for water to run down hill, and men nro not any moro bnck ward In tills respect. In fact they all do it. It Is a dangerous amusement, however, and few there nro who know Just where to stop. Tho habit, onco formed, is asdllllcult to shako on ns tho chills, and it grows on a person llko a Virginia creeper on tho sldo of t house. It Is slow, but sine. Gradually it entwines you in itc meshes until, from a mod eat youth or maiden you become a continued lllrt Borne of tho Lincoln girls have passed tho llrst stages nnd Income unusuully profic Nfc. JJ Ww ii ient in tho amusement. It is not to their credit; nor to their mothers', and right hero Is tho whole trouble. Tho mothers nro in too many case utterly indifferent tothn comings nnd goings of the daughter, nnd tho girl left to theinelvc, proceed to havo n "good time" Street flirtation is mo.-it pernicious nnd tho "mammai" who appear to havo such tender solicitude for their "darlings'" welfaro.mlglit do well to keep nu eyo on tho frollcsomo young misses. Tho men will lllrt nnywoy. They enn't help It. Of course after tho notoriety which Wnna maker has given "Krotitzer Sonato" by de claring it unfit for transmission In that chan nel of purity, tho United States mall, It nat urally follows that It should lio dramatized and put on tho stage. Hut It Is very seldom that a successful liook makes n successful play, and ns tho present furoro will doubtless havo spent Itself in a fow mouths, it is prob able, that "Kreutzor Sonato" on the stage will be as dismal n failure ns tho dramatiza tion of "Sho." How silly nnd utterly senseless does a topicul song appear in hard, cold tyef And how ridiculous nnd flat do tho sallies of so-called fun of the minstrel show appear to us tho next morning after tho performance! Wo can too nothing funny in tbo things that wo laughed at until tho tears came, tho night be fore nnd wo havo a feeling that wo ir.odo fools of ourselves in jwitronlzlngsucli nu entertain ment. Hut when tho next show comes along, wo havo our reserved seats as usual, and laugh ns hearty as over. Strange, but true. Our business man are wont to complain of hard times. Hut these same business men are building handsome residences nnd In numer ous other wnyn exhibiting tho outward ami visible signs of prosperity. Tho times can not bo as hard as they nro painted. In Europe when tho meeting of tlio Czar and William II was held, public travel was entirely Busended on tho principal railway for tho week. European subjects nro cer tainly very docllo to submit to such roynl prerogatives as this. A common carrier should bo a common carrier and no power should bo permitted to deprive tho public of Us services. Imagine trying this sort of thing on Americans! Hero there Is a general howl overy tlmo tho president travels on u Ieciul train. Some of th persons who wero so favorably Impressed by tho fun of Messrs. Primrose and West may bo surprised to hear that these two gay minstrels and partners in business, havo not spoken to each other off tho stage for seven months. The Thiklkh is informed that such is tho case. Tho only reason ns signed for tho coolness in tho professional pique which wo nro told is characteristic of theatrical jieoplo and musicians. Chicago Is a never falling source of sensa ttons. Tho latest is a rumor that tho world's fair is in serious danger of collapsing. 'TIs said that tho money that was promised comes In very slowly nnd unless some of tho million aires come to tho rescue tho big fair Is doom ed. It Is very probable, however, that this is nothing moro than a fouudatlonless scare. Chicago's pride will never let tho exhibition fizzle out. SOUTH LINCOLN. W. H.

Primrose and West's minstrels packed tho house Monday evening notwithstanding the fact that tho lat minstrel show, which misgiven only a fow weeks ago, whs solium lint of n disap pointment, and tho big audience was thor oughly satisfied with tho entertainment, Primrose, West and Lew Dockstuder aro an Incomparable trio. Their fun has a peculiar refinement and individuality which havo brought this company Into hearty favcr with the largo class of iooplo who enjoy a minstrel performance free from tho vulgar ities which too often chnracterlzo burnt cork productions. Tho fun Is Just as sMntaueous nud side splitting; hut It Is toned down to meet the tnsto of the liettcr class of play-goers. There Is no reason why mi entertain ment of this kind should bo mado up of variety theater fun, ycleped, "horseplay" and to this company, perhaps moro than any other, Is duo the elevation of the stage of minstrelsy. There Is a very pretty scene In tlio llrst part in which some beautiful musi cal selections nro given. Among tho notable solos were, "Baby's Picture on tlio Wall" by Fred E. Reynolds, tho cotiqioser, nml "Tho Light Ship Straight Ahead" by Fred Oakland. Tho company is unusually strong In tenors and In the choruses tho well modulated and carefully trained voices produced some de lightful music. Billy West is an (deal inter locuter. Ho has tho self nsscrtivenos neces sary in this part, and his work Is done most effectively. John Queen's original topical song, "Expectations" contained soino very appropriate local ullusins mid was received tumultously. Low Dockstader's song, "I Don't Seo Where it Comes In" wns a distinct hit. Primrose ns a light plai 1 swell was Irresistibly funny. Tho march of the "Im perials" n "novelty of magnificent splendor," was ono of tho best exhibitions of drilling over seen In Lincoln. In this part the uni forms were, as a young lady in tho dress circlo remarked, "perfectly gorgeous." Cain and Loreno, the grotesque aerial artists, wero unique in their way; tho little fellow pro duced n decided sensation. Tho entertainment closed with the usual uproarious farce. The Jokes were nearly all now, the costumes pretty nnd striking, nnd nltogcthor the show wns very tnklng. White faces still continue in favor with Primrose and West. COIIINO ATTltACTIONH. The umusemeut season In Lincoln which opened so auspiciously Monday evening, will bring, besides the old favorites, many now at tractions, to the city. Manager Mcltoyiiolds has made his bookings with great euro mid everything meretorlous that comes to any of tho western cities will be seen at Fuuke's.

Her place is iwlng acceptably filled by Miss Anna O'Keefe. Do Wolf Hopper's "Castles In tho Air" has closed Its engagement in New York. The run was very successful, Over 100 perform ances were given. John Hull, late stage manager of Fuuke's opera house, has sent Manager Mcltuynoldsa photograph of himself costumed as "Pedro" in Girolld-Gliotla, as produced by the Teiu- ' pletou opera company, "Tho Merry Monarch," "The Bottom of tlio Sen," "Christopher Columbus," Sol Smith Uussell, Fay Templeton, Hlchanl Mails Held, Strauss Orchestra and "The Hed Hus sar" wero tho principal attractions in Now York this week. Ted PelH'r, w ho will play tho jmrt of Mufti, In "Bluelieurd Jr.," which, by tho way, has tlio strongest cast that tins yet appeared In , nny burlesque company In America, belongs i to a very old Philadnlphia family, although I ho Is not exactly u Quaker In spirit. In fact, ho is about tho liveliest masher In tho profes sion, nud glftisl as ho Is, with n handsome face, a good voice, and n pair of small and nimble feet, threatens to work havoc wher ever "Bluebeard J." Is heard or seen, John Dillon will bont Fuuke's live nights commencing Sept. f In n select repertolr of light comedy. Ho will bo followed by Gump ton's minstrel company. Tho latter hns it number of Haverloy's old men mid Is said to Iki ii very strong organization. Tho troubles of Henry E. Dlxey, tho actor, uro coming In groups. Illsllttlo wife Is suing him for divorce mid his summer season in Chicago has ended in disaster. His now play of "lllp" was a failure. When Dlxey left lUcomul started upon the raging dramatic sen in his own lwnt It was very generally ex pected that ho would fetch up on a rock. Ho Is a blight comedian, but ho need n strong bnnd. IIo knows nothing of the value of money and his gaming Instinct is deep seated. Besides, ho has h fondues, for pretty girls, and tho temptations of n burlesque company aro numerous nml constant. "Shenandoah," which is doubtless tho greatest military comedy yet produced In America will celebrate Its llrst year of un interrupted run, Sept. 8. Tho company is at present playing at Chicago, where tho lOOlli I er forma nee in that city will shortly take place, and tho event commemorated by an elalMirato and useful souvenir, Tho business that this sterling play has done In Chicago In spito of tho tropical heat Is really phenomenal as tho receipts averaged no week less than $ 7,000. Tho anniversary performance to bo given Sept, 8, will take place nt St. IxmiIh nnd up tj date, that Is for tho olotouth months of Its run, "Shenandoah" earnings mo f2.'l5,000.

"What do you think about tights! was asked of Louise Montague, who is making a sensation in tho "Crystal Slipper" now play to big business in Chicago, the other day. She replied: "What do you Imply by that ques tion! Do you mean considered from a stund jKjInt of looks, morality, health or what! If you mean how do I llko the looks of tights. I should say in reply that It depends altogether uon the wearer. They can bo mi artistic de light to tho eyo or they can bo quito the re verse. I can conceive of circumstances under which it wou'd bo quite iuiK)ssiblo for tho nicest pair of tights to look well; then I can imagine, circumstances under which very or dinary tights would become things of beauty, If not Joys forever. It nil dovnds, us I say, upon the weurer. As to tho modesty of tho custom of wearing tights on tho stage I must say that I think that depends upon the weurer, too. Tights cuu bo worn modestly, Just as dresses can bo worn Immodestly. Now, don't you think so yourself! I don't believe that n woman was over injured in her moral char acter by wearing tights in roles where they were demanded. By the way, why Is the subject of tights discussed so much! Why not ask if bare arms mid shoulders are Im moral) I don't see why one vet of limbs should bo discriminated against moro than another. Is there any reason why a part of tho leg covered with silk should Is) considered any moro demoralizing than arms and shoul ders uncovered? I don't s-o It." The success of Mrs. Annie M. Beam of Mc.

It has caused no little surprise hero that thero should bo some doubt existing outside of the state with regard to tho exact date when tho present charter of the Ixnilshiun State IUtery company expires.

New Yoiik, August 20, 1800, In tho dearth of more Important matters, and moro excit ing topics, a good deal of discussion has found Its way into tlio English papers, ns to the pro priety nud desirability of woman forswear ing tho trusty side-saddle, which for centuries basso well served her sex, and In Its place adopting tlioineii'sciotN-naddle, and wlthlt, a rather masculine stylo of habit. Many arguments pro and con, have been advanced. For Instnnso, lu favor of tho Innovation that It will mnko riding safer and less fatigu ing. Tlilsof coursi'.cmi only ho sulmtnntlutod by a thorough and exhaustive trial, but it has been so far convincing to some minds that their owners havo shown themselves oien to Mrsuaslnu to tho extent of ordering ono of the now habits, to bo tried In tho hunting Held next season. It our readers would know how these ladles will look In their uiiao customed habiliments, let them study tho accompanying cuts, prepared from Bedford's models. THE lllUINO COAT. First you seo milady In her top-boot reach ing to tho knee, and tho riding coat which meets them, entirely concealing the kulcker liockerHor breeches which form tho third part of the costume. It will bo observed that tho upper part of the coat fits us snugly as tho regular riding-habit, and that tho coat skirts, parting back mid front, uro ample enough to prevent any Immodest reveullugof the figure. Ami oven Its detractors cannot deny that tho effect of this new habit, on a young mid pretty woman is decidedly piquant. Conservatives, however, will doubtless prefer THE UEDKEIIN DIVIDED HAI1IT, which Is, in all essentials, a remodelling of a habit designed by him as much nsthreo years ago long before nil thlsquestlon was mooted. It was mado for a lady who was going Into tlio for west to tuko tremendous rides upon the prairies, and who hud Ik'cii advised to tnke the man-fashion, astride of her steed. Tho skirt Is so contrived with Its overlapping pleats, that when Its wearer dismounts, it falls together mid becomes to all upoarauco mi -ordinary walking skirt. SPORTING NOTES.
