Speaking about the entertainment tho next day, says a writer in the Atlantic Monthly, I ventured to demur a little, saying that at homo one read for improvement, but one went out for amusement, when a very pretty and elegant matron told me that she made it a point no longer to go into society when tho entertainment consisted only of trivial conversation. "A party in the parlor, all silent and all" listening' to somebody on a plat form who roads, recites, addresses and lectures, seems to bo tho modern idea of sociul oiliftcation. Mr. AuguBtlnfe Birrell lias remarked that in America we seem still to love talk for its own sake, and rca.ly enjoy sitting and being declaimed at in a loud voice, delighting in the rolling sentence, and the lofty and familiar sentiment. And it is certainly the fact that let any one, nowadays, stand up and road a paper or recito a memorized spooch, no matter on what subject, everybody listens; every heart seems refreid by the ovorlUw, overy intellectual teed stilled. Indeed, no little wit, Bki')i grace, and clover powors of aduptatjfjij" aro pressed into sorvico for tJrawiDr)'Oin entertainments; and BolouRJOy go for what they arp wprUi.ttm grateful enough, only I am tired of the dismal necessity of being in structed at every turn. A friend, herself a successful writer, happened to be waiting on the veranda of a country inn.whon two of tho inmates one a middle aged farmer s wife, and the other an elaborately dressed city girl- came out and survoyed tho stranger. After u time tho younger be gan conversation. 'Horn! Fond of reading?" "Not always," roplled my friend, whom I will call Mrs. X. "I am," replied tho young lady, with an air of superior enlightenment. "And I think it 1b very improving." Having administered this crushing rebuke, sho watted a moment; then inquired, "Any favorite authors?'' "Oh, I think not," murmured Mrs. X. "I have a great muny favorite au thors." said tho oung lady, with such severity that MrB. X. felt constrained to ask, "Who aro your fuvoi ito authors?" "The Duchess, MrB. Forrester, Rosa Nouchetto Caroy, E. P. Roo and Dick ens." Thon, watching for some sign of recognition on tho part of her audience, she asked, "Ever heard of any of them." "Not of tho first three, I think." "Do you know E. P. Roo and Dick ons?" "A little." "E. P. Roo is very popular with Sun day SchoolB," tho young lady now ox plained, "and Dickens. you can under stand him, is full of humor." She had hit, albeit an octavo below the actual nitch. what seems to me the true contemporary koynote, the sort qf tone which makes it embarrassing for a modest person, who has read all his life, and thinks no more of having done so than of having nourished his body with food and warmed it with clothes, to as sert himself in tho fabo of an intention superior to anything like mere interest and amusement, of such definite aim for improvement. PleaMttit Dunning 1'art)-. A large number of upiversity Btudents gavo a delightful dancing party at tho Lanslmr hall Friday evening with Pro- fesBor and Mrs. Barbour and Professor and Mrs. Allen as chaperons.

Sorosis met on the afternoon of Jan. 22nd at the home of Mrs.Holyoke. The subject for discussion was "Criminology" led by Mrs. T. H. Hodgoman. Tho science is ono of comparative rocent or igin although reference is made to tho characteristics of criminals in tho writ ings of Homer, and later Aristotle and Plato. During tho middle ages crimin als wero 'supposed to bo those with ill shaped bodies and in cuso of a doubt such unfortunates wero always mado victims of punishments ruthor than those perfectly formed. Tho word "Criminology" is ono of recont-olnago. Tho division of criminologists ihom solves into two classes is, a most natur al one those who believe, heredity to bo responsible for many of the' startling crimes of tho times. Much remains to bo tried and results will bo slow, yet the nations of tho world aro laboring with tho great question of how can the criminal classes be helped and tho fu ture will reap the benefit. Moral insan ity is a dangerous type and whether re formatories, colonies, or other means aro most effective is a problem for careful thought. The next meeting of Sorosis will bo Feb. 5 at tho homo of Mrs. T. H. Hodgeman. Miss Fling will discuss 'Women's Colleges." Knglanil Cletn Anolliar. Tho recently announced engagement of Miss Virginia Bonyngo, of California, and Viscount Deerhurst is another In stance of an Englishman marrying an American girl. Thoso marriages ilo not create as much excitement as when they wero moro unusual, for it seems to bo well understood now that all tho eligihlo Englishmen will, eventually, marry American girls. Tho lot of American women in London is far easier than it used to bo, because, it tho tales told us aro true, thoso who married in the last generation found their life in London Tho annual public meeting of tho La dles Missionary society occurred last Friday ovouing at tho homo of Rev. C. E. Bradt in East Lincoln.

II. Rhodes, negative, Attorney Thomas Darnell. At the close of tho program coffee and wafers wore served. I)r. unit Mr. filflten Kntertulii. Tuesday Dr. and Mrs. Giffen enter tained, very pleasantly a number of friends at high five in honor of Miss Doll of Layfayette, Ind. Tho oxtremo cold did not, apparently, keep many at home, and tho party was ono of the pleasantest ovoniB of the week.

Tho last Pleasant Hour party before lent will bo givon Friday ovon ing, Fob ruary 2, at the Hotel Lincoln, Mrs.- Oscar F. Funke returned tho early part of the wook from a visit in Omaha. Mr. F. W. Little is expected toioturn from Now York today. Tho Empire club will have a ladies' choice party at the Lansing hall tonight Mrs. J. E, White and Miss Nellie, White have returned from Grand Island. Mrs. John B. Wright is in San Anto nio, Texas. ' tho cause of crime nnd others who lay its responsibility to environmcut. ThVro have been two congi esses of wiminolo gists. Tho first fo 1885 to fchjtfi Italy, France, Germany and, Htile,'w sent rep resolutives, and tho second in 1889 in which neurly all of the civilized coun tries with the exception of England, wero interested. Italy is tho homo of the scionco and its progress has been marked; Franco is second in its interests, experiments, and work for the criminal class. Russia and South America also aro greatly interested and have accomplished much toward reform atory measures. Tho special work of tho criminologists is to study thorough ly the criminal classes with tho idea of findiiiK out how und what may bo the best way of reaching them und convert thorn into good citizens. The chief characteristics of the criminal aro u defi cient montul und moral und un abnorm al physical growth. Not in all particu lars but It is found in examining largo numbers of heads that certain develop ments of skull uttondod by other pecu liarities of physique are always found umong thoso convicted of the samo crime. It is found too that heredity, en vironment, cllnittto und other causes are socloty anything but that bod of roses Hall, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, Mr. and which is popularly supposed to bo the portion of any woman who is married to a nobleman. Still, it seems a pity that American women cannot bo contented with tho good matches which aro to bo mudo in their own country, und tho list each year grows longer of tho bachelors in socloty who, apparently, havo no thought whutover of settling down. Voyue. The Century Clnlt. Tho Century club mot Tuesday with Mrs. Teeters at her homo on C street und continued tho study of Franco. Mrs. M. E.
