H There is one thing that the city should do in their street work, and that is the narrowing of the streets and the installing of the combined concrete curbing and guttering, which will add ma terially iii cutting down the ex pense of keeping the streets in repair. The streets with their present width are altogether too wide to keep in proper shape, when if a strip eight or ten feet wide was left between the curb line and the sidewalk it would take away that much of the street that would not have to be worked and make the streets present a very handsome appearance. This plan has been adopted in a great many of the towns the size of Plattsmouth and has almost al ways proven the most successful, as well as the neatest method of arranging the sidewalks and streets. The combined curb and gutter will furnish a means for the surplus water to run on each side of the street and will, if the street is properly graded up in the center, do away with the trouble usually experienced with the washing of large holes in the streets.

The hostess served an ele gant three-course luncheon, and which was one the large number in attendance could not help but do ample justice. Whenever in vited to the Petersen home the ladies of this organization antici pate a royal time, and their an ticipations were fully realized in the entertainment of yesterday afternoon.
