Usually with tho waning of September
and tho approach (if tho li;llit October
days, when tho nlr In crisp iiiul buoyant,
and when aweary of tho monotonous
heat of tho summer, wo begin to look
forward wlthcager Interest to tho winter
with itn enforced activity, society l wont
to mmumio n llfo and gaiety In keeping
with tho season, ami if soclnl activity In
not already apparent, society Is at leant
busy making plium and Hitting Itself in
rcadlnctw for tho demands of tho season.
Hut thin year tho boiiboiib change, and
society remains ntattonary.
Society in wrap-ied In dullness, utter
dullneBB, and tho Knrmont Wnw to
abide. No ono npiwara to ho ready to
tako tho initiative, and plans which
should ho unfolded, arc held in abeyance,
while wo wait for tilings commercial and
ilnanclal to lighten.
Hut tho stagnation cannot long con
tlnue. Lincoln will not, it la thought,
ho conspicuously lively thin winter; but
thero must ho amusement, and there aro
)ooilo who havo tho meann and tho
inclination to entertain, and they will
dispenso hospitality an of yore, and there
will ho plenty of people who are per
fectly willing to ho entertained.
Wlille tho mituoroiiH social organlzu
tlonH that aro tho whecla
around which Hoclety revolves,
havo not, with ono or two ex
coptlonn, taken any detlnlto stepB in tho
way of preparation for tho coining boii
Bon, It In quite probable that ouch will
maintain its organization as heretofore,
and thero In a pronpect of ono or two
now organizations for social enjoyiuont.
Tho Pleasant Hour club will reorganize
sometime about tho middle of October,
and tho Empire club and tho Patriarchs
will undoubtedly successfully continue
their existence.
, Two or three weddings uro in prospout
for tho noxt six weeks, and thero
promises to bo a sufficient number of
weddings scattered through tho winter
to keep interest alive. From present In
dlcationn they will nil bo comparatively
quiet.
Perhaps tho lively theatrical season
which is now assured will to boiuo ox
tent make up for tho scarcity of events
in society. It in poailblo that oro tho
holidays aro reached tho comparntivo
quiet of tho autumn will havo given
place to h galoty all tho more,, pro.

London nton, who wero strangers to tho

from a visit to tho world's fair. All
Ignorant of tho relation of their vis a vis
