I'-'KICIC FlVIC OlCNTU -. 1 i i 1 i THE THIKLKK. 'iOMEHODY hat lieen de scribing th American girl ngnln. Thlstlmo it It n writer in tlic JaihiIoh Model il Socktu Homo fol low nrobably who has jut . iont n couple of weeks studying" tlili country. llo says soino nlro things; lmt thoy nro nlwnyit coup led with a disagreeable "If" or "but." For tho most jmrt ho is, however, fnr from complimentary. Thu Aliieilcnn nlrl cannot liu IllllIlHtl if sllO VOteH lit tit 'too mean for niiythlng." When ho nsserts without reservation tlmt "tho American gli 1 does not know tlio inclin ing of tho woni 'clmiioroiio'" ho betrays nil ignorance of Atnorlcnii soclnl customs that Is v holly Inexcusable. Truo.sho In rot educated tobcliovo tisnmher European sisters, tint men nro mostly lioasts, and when alio llmls herself nlono in the company of n gentleman she la not taken with thocold chills nr hys terics; but she knows tho roor relations of tho sexes, and bIio has n very clearly ilellned Idea of a chaperono and her duties. V "Outside of tho big tow in," ho continues, "such a thing as class distinction scarcely .ex ists Tho daughter of u Judgu lias been lo school with tlio young man nt tho dry goods storo, has Jested with him ovor tho counter hud may niiiry him tomorrow If she pleuscs. Honiuy bo n millionaire before ninny years are over, and his wlfo may lead society In New York." Nobody can take serious ob jection to this. Kvcn if tlio "young maimt tho dry'goodsstoio" does not become a mill ionaire, tho chances nro that ho is fully as well equipped with soclul and family qualLu cnttous as tho "daughter of tho judge," and therolsnogoodrenson why thoy should Jiot mnrry. V 1 mil at a loss ta uxpres my iilaiw of a man wJio referring to tho American girl, can say that: "tlwre is something liard and practical about her ut tho Jlrst glanco." Hard and practical! It must be ilint the writer failed to sec thu genuine article. Most of us think that the loveliest and sweetest thing on earth is tho American girl, ami oven a visit to tho mother country Jails to shake this conviction. Then agaiu ho says: "Absence of exercise combined with hot bread for breakfast mid "candy ' nil day, lays tho foundation for dys pepsin and tho 'wnshed out' appearance which nearly every American woman pre scuts beforo slui lias touched thli ty. Life n. high prent.il re has set its murk ujion tho American faco nud is gradually producing a new typo which wus unknown until tlio pres ent century." Unfortunately there is a good deal of truth In this. While wo wont admit tho "wnshed out" jrnrt of It, there is no uso denying tho fact that tho American woman Millers f i oiu n lack of out door exercise nnd nil almost total disregard of tho, common laws of hygiene. She hasn't time to think of the resultant elTect of this or that, nud she does many foolish things, In which respect, perhaps, she does not dlircr greatly trom her brothers. "The American girl has no reverence' another unkind remark. That you do not often see In her face tho "reveienco and re ligious ecstacy such us one may catch upon the face of n Roman Catholic nun'' none will dispute for American girls are not Roman Catholic nuns. Hut she Is not partfcuhirily Irreverent. If her religion does largely run to sewing societies, and church suppers and socials, she is none tho less devoted. The string of young men which Hue the sidewalks in front of our churches Sabbath evening Is a convincing proof that she is not irreligious. I thhjk all CouillKlt readers, eseciully those who mo fighting their way in tho bat tle of lifo in iwrtnershlp with the American girl, will take exception to this last quota tion: "She will never inako the tender, con tiding, little wife that tho'agerage English Edwin looks forward to, who will run for his slippers, put up w ith his ill-humors and wor ship him as a hero; but treat her di lion ivmarade, as a man and a brother, mil you will find tho Ynnkeo girls 'jolly companions,' every one." Tlio Implication in tho nbove Is worse than tho actual expression. Of coursn wo know nil this is arrant nonsense. As Frank Zehrung would say, "We deny tho allegation and defy the nllegator," V III lcoklug about for something In the line of social novelties, I ran down a "sliamxo party" tho other day. A young lady who knew the tiresomeness of modern shampoo ing and hair-dressing, conceived the idea of having company at the disagreeable opera tion. Cards were issued iK'aring.tho legend, "10:80 to II :'M a. in. 8liaiiioolng." A pro fessional nalr-dresser was provided, and ap propriate refreshment weie served. There is small prospect that this new "fad" will become popular. Iluth AtVnoro has tho following to Miy of tho "girl who wooes" in tho Ladies Home Journal: "I may as well ho frank at once . and say I do not like tho maid who does tlio wooing. She Is usurping the pi ivilegu of her knight, and if I were ho I should turn and tlee. "Hut," says Ethlllndu, "ho need en couragement!" l'erhaps ho docs. Hut not too much of it. When you want to give an invalid something to increase his apietlto you do not offer to eat It for him, instead you offer a dainty bit, a little spice, or a lit tle acid that ipjlekens tho taste and makes a great hpuger come. Treat your sweetheart in tho same way, Ict him bo conscious that you lire pleased w Ithdils liking; hut do not for a minute tuko away his prerogative and do the wooing. No man has a true uivrtvlation .u ..,..x.l ltlw.j Iin unklli lif u t)iMtl . (an tu JR. a M Jc'IvF) always a delight to him. Your eye may re- I tlocthls love, but tlwy need not nmiounro yours Hist, thereby sending out an invitation. My dear girl, usk almost any man you know what his favorite (lower. is, and, after ho has thought, ho will tell you either tlio violet or tho rope. One grows surrounded and pro tected by green leaves, and to get It ierfivt that is with n stem you havo to reach down ami pluck It carefully, but Inn determined wny. Tho other Is guarded by horp thorns, ami though It stands up In n most dignified way, it resists, except by It encouraging sweetness, the one bravo enough to take it from tho parent tree. You can team a good lesson In a llower garden, you see tho holly hocks plant and know that they nro tho for ward ls-antles of tho world of llowers, you co the lilies with their liowed heads, and aro convinced that beauty without faith is of lit tle worth, you aro an aro of u dnluty ier ftiine, and know that tho little lady, whoso ipialltles surpass her charms tho mignonette - Is near, you can see the mwltlvo ouo iti tlin gaudy suutlowcr; you can see tho nggresslve one in the teat let geranium, mid you can think of them all and conclude this, tho ones woi th having, sweet of perfume and restful in color, aro not tho ones tlmt protrude them selves on your vision, and say, as do some (lowers and maidens, "Take us." A taking novelty lately introduced in tho vast is a "heart" dinner. At one of these recently given to sixteen yDiitig iieoplo, the tiiblo was heart sIiiihs! and covered with pink silk, over which was laid lino white linen with a heart shaped laco medallion in the cen ter. Upon tho medallion wus n tlguro of Cupid in white marble. On either side were two large hearts of pink roses transllxed with silver arrows which fastened them to the table. UK)ii tho dinner cards of pink satin, uucoiatcti witli nana painted Cupids, were laid .favors of (llllgrco hearts and fine sliver chains for tho girls mid beautiful moonstone hearts, mounted In silver plus for the men. Doubtless a good many )eople beside my self have been amused at tho eagerness with wliich Urother Calhoun of the Herald, and llrother Jones of tho State. Journal, have stumbled over each other in their attempts to disprove! The Couuieh's statement that "art, litenituro and mania aro much neglected" In this city. The Couiueii did not say that they were wholly neglected as Its content porles seem to infer. Uf .course there are so cieties and Institutions of various sorts for artistic, hteiary and musical culture; but tho fact remains, my literary frientb, Calhoun raid Jones to the coutrary notwithstanding, tluit among our oople theso things are "much neglected." For instance, is It not surprising that iuucltyof 00,000 oople, there Is not a leally tlrst class orchestra And I thcro is not tlmt general interest In art and i literature which should characterize tlio In habitants of an educational city like Lincoln. I In Justice to Messrs. Calhoun and Jones, ho w- over, It should be said tlmt the wldo ell dilu tion of their respective Journals has done much to advance tlio literary taste of our Ieople. If they could oidy sing and paint, tlio culture of the city could bo safely left in their hand. Elizabeth Btuurt I'lielps' article on decollete dressing continue to engross public attention' on botli sides of the Atlantic. Very few critics have lovluwed favorably the so-called tirade nud there Is an almost general condem nation of the views of the "thin-skinned propagandist." le is probable that u lack of respect for the writer Is responsible for much of the adverse comment, for there is certain ly a growing feeling tlmt the decollete should go up higher. Hut Elliubuth lias such a wide leputatlon us a crank that hur infer ences are seldom taken seriously. A writer on tho other side, referring to Mrs. Wnid's ef fusion, Niys: "Some pf us are so unfortun ately constructed that we must first create the vices wo want to destroy, and there is nothing that does so much harm to society as this blatant crusading by prurient purists against evils that havescarcely the shadow of uu existence outside of their own Imagina tions. Mrs, Waul Is sorry that ladies who go to thoutics do not avert their glances and blush when the ballet comes on. Welt there are some who do so, but they are tho sort of women who and ask French conun drums at the dinner tables, and read anony mous French vice wtween tho covers of fashion pi bits." An uwkw ard compliment Is worse than no compliment ut all. For fustauco when tho Journal In recording the Ford-Hruckeu wed ding u few days ago referred to thu groom as a "well known and (lopulnr young barber of uteady habits" It spoiled It all. The young man who wrote the item might hive added with cpiul appropriateness that the groom hud never ridden in the huny up wagon.

MUSIC AND THK DIIAMA. Manager Mcltoynolds gave the patrons o the Funko n Mirlcd selection this week. Tim iiiuuii ranged from fuieo comedy to high tragedy and included legitimato drama. JCach class had a fair representative and that Lincoln peoplo appreciate good things wns evidenced by tho large audiences and tho merry Jingle of silver dollais In tho box olllco. Jf "U.S. Mall" was a trills dlsnpolntliig, it must bo rcmomliortsl that tho Held nt farce comedy has been most effectually worked In the Kist few j car, and that a novel comedy is ouo of tho rarest of all rare things, Tho satliuou Mr. Wanamnker'spostolllcowas too broad to bo offoetlvi, hut nt timet the hr-pluy wns very funny.

On tho whole tho fair ltil audlonco was well pleased with the per formance, llolicrt Mantel! related Ills last season's success In "Monburs" Wednesday evening. "Monlmrs" Is ouo of tho prettiest dramas on tho stage nud play goers surfeited with low comedy found In It a pleasant lelief, A good healthy tone provades the play and the interest which centers In the striking stcry of tho "woman who fell In love with her husband" never lags The heroic pa its mo thrilling without being Isilsterous, and there Is n reilueiueut in tho pathetic character of JUanr, ns portrnyisl by Chin lotto Hrehens seldom found on tho stage. Miss Hehreiis has a singular beauty uud gtace and is withal a charming acinus. Thu company while In some resiectH not as strong us last, year's was uniformly good. Wo Iiojh) Mr. Mantell will present "Tlio Corslcnu Hi others" on his next visit to Lincoln . Of course Iveenu ill ew well. He lias long liven popular In this city, but the reception ho received Thursday 'and Friday evenings wus unusually warm, for Lincoln audiences, sonum lmt noted fir tUiir reserve. Ho has seldom appealed to better ndvantugo and ho fully merited the ap probation accorded hint. "Louis XI" is a comparatively new piny hero and those who attended tho ojiening night were pel haps cry agreeably disappointed In a piece with wh ich they were not escclally familiar. His m.t souutlon of thu bilious uud unscrupulous old monarch, tottering on tlio edge of the grave, but with u kliig-llko dread of Heath, Is to the mind of ninny, one of his must successful parts. It isaditllcult rolo. In the nervous energy which a proor interpretation calls for it may Ixi likened to Jauailschek's Miy Mw rllfM or Hooth's SJiylueku. Kecne's presenta tion Is scholarly and artistic, evincing a tiuo appreciation of tho character of thepait. Ho was ably Kuppottcd by (leorgo Icutockus 7nAt tie Xemoun, whoso buisU of eloquence elicited frequent and hearty applause. Mlirtr (Miss'L. Klmnnon) was rendered in a s'uullar!y pleasing and vivacious manner, and the other leading diameter weie us usual In the hands of capable uctnrs. "Intls XI" made u distinct iuipics.slou. Another year it will draw u larger house. "Iticluird III" was presented lost night. Tho play us gi en by Keeno, Is so well known that comment is superlloiiH. Mr. Keeuo's company tlio pres ent season Is exceptionally talented. Tliecos tinning and effects aro also excellent. Funke's will be oeu two nights only next week Thursday and Saturday. rill.NCK A.N-1) I'AUI'KIl. Tnursday evening, September 2.1th, "Tim Princo nud I'auper" will bo presented nt Funko's by Daniel Frohmun's original Now York coinpnny, under tho jiersonnl dlrectljti of Al. Uayinan. Tho dramatization of Mark Twain's popular story as Inter preted by EUle Leslie, tho celebrated young nctress, and mi exceptionally strong company, was one of the leading events In the theatrical world east, ami tho play filled one of New York's popular theatres for months. "The Prince nnd I'auper" was pronounced by tho Now York Herald "tho sweetest, rarest and prletttest of all the plays since 'Little Lord Fouutleroy1." Little Miss Leslie is the most gifted young actress on the stage, and her presentation of Iwtli Prince Kdwatd nnd 7'oin Canty, thu pauer, is her cleverest woik. Tlio New York Herald says of Miss Leslie: "Elsie is a 'star' now. Dra matists writo playB for her. Hho gets cur tuincalls and has flowers tin own her. Hefore long we shall bo expecting her to make her own speeches. Bhe has been interviewed nud and adulated till it is n marvel her little head lias not been turned. Hut she has not lost her nrtlessness, thank Henven. Her baby shoulders had plenty to bear In 'Fuuntleroy'. They are tw leu as heavily burdened in Mrs. K clmi-ilson's piece. In 'The Prince and tho Pauper' she plays both tlio title parts nud plays them well, with a nice sensd cf the difference between the luds, Nothing could be cleverer than her lioylsh assumptions of dignity In the tcenes with Miles lleiidou King Henry himself wns never haughtier than Elsio as she bids Miles 'wait on me, good fel low', nud dubs him knight. Quttu as clever in another way is her .mnuctance us Tom Canty. Tom handles his sceptre like a toy and Edwnrd weais his tags as If they were tho purple." Thisplay will be seen in Lincoln one night only. CHINATOWN NEXT SATfllDAV. Hoyt's new and popular furceconiedy "Chinatown"' is booked for Funke's next Sat urday, btrange to say there Is not n Chinas man in the play, but It is none the less funny' on that account. It has ranked with "A Texas Steer" uid "The Midnight Hell" in pop ular favor and Is one of the !x-st of this class of attractions. Additional mention next week. EI1EN UUHEE.
