The Nebraskan-Hesperian
SOCITY NOTES.
A party in honor, of Miss Mabol Er
ford, '00, was given last Friday even
ing by the Q. A. T. girls at the homo of
Miss Lena Anthony, 1021 J street. The
houso was beautifully decorated in the
cream, and Miss Erford's picture was
draped in pink and white, the club
colors.
"Progressive conversation" was the
amusement provided. Much merri
ment was caused by the unique method
of securing partners for lunch. Ar
rows bearing the names of tno young
ladies were shot through a transom to
the expectant young men on the other
aide. Each young man, on receiving
an arrow, sought the young lady whose
name it bore, and proceeded to the din
ing room. Those present were Misses
McFarland, Leese, Gregory, Barrlcle,
Stearns, Biltgen, Mabel Erford, Edith
Erford, Clinton, Howland, ilaphaol,
Schaffer, Morgan, Anthony; Messrs.
Evans, Ewart, Smith, Painter, Patter
son, Anderson, Fisher, Barth, nawley,
Ewlng, Lytel, Woodruff, Caldwell,
Swain, Morse, Wilson, Sidell ,and Mr.
and Mrs. J. A. Sutter.
Invitations have been issued by the
resident alumnae of Kappa Kappa
Gamma to the active members for the
annual banquet to bo given May 19 at
the home of Mrs. E. C. Hardy, 1518 D
street. This banquet will celebrate ihe
sixteenth anniversary of the funding
of the Sigma chapter.
By virtue of the decision of the
judges in the late contest programs be
tween the Delian Girls and Boys, the
Girls were entitled to a feed (?.) given
by said boys.
Friday evening April 20th was the
date of this happy occasion. The boys
had planned the whole thing as a sur
prise and it proved a delightful sur
prise indeed to most of the girls. The
forepart of the evening was given up
to progressive games and fun in gen
eral. About 10:30 a delightful three
course lunch was served in the Y. M.
.. A. parlors. Every one had a good
time and the sirls are now wondering
what they will do to win the contest
next year.

PALLADIAN LECTURE-RECITAL.
A lecture-recital on George Eliot was
given in the chapel by Miss Mabellc
Biggart of Now York City, last Thurs
day evening. The entertainment was
under the aspices of the Palladian so
ciety. As an Introduction Miss Biggart
eulogized Georgo Eliot and Frances
Willard for whi t they did towards the
advancement of women. She gave a
short analysis of George Eliot's liter
ftry greatness. To show the marvel
lous power and simplicity of one of
the novelist's greatest works Miss Big-
SIGHTLESS GENIUS.
Our hearts are ever touched by the
infirmity of our fellowmen, but prob
ably the blind come in for the largest
share of our sympathy. However,
many of our blind brethren astonish
us by their achievements, accomplish
ing what would be wonderful in a
man possessed of his five senses.
Possibly the most astonishing of all
blind men is the French sculptor, Vi
dal, who is stone blind, but models
wonderful statues of animals. How
can e do this without seeing? Simply
by touch. He lives surrounded oy ani
mals of all kinds, and is ever patting
and caressing them. When he wants
to model a horse he begins by studying
the legs. He stoops uown by the ani
mal, talking to it and patting ic con
stantly, and says, "Come, I must ex
amine your legs. Don't you move.
Nov I must examine your chest.
Come, my friend, be quiet, or I shall
fail to catch your likeness."
When he wanted to study a wild
animal the task was more difficult.
Vidal first studied the works of other
sculptors, the skeletons of the animal,
even stuffed specimens. One day when
he had decided that he wanted to model
a lion he felt that he must study a liv
ing model. He did not hesitate to face
the danger, but entered a lion's cage,
accompanied by the trainer. He felt
him, caressed him, studied him atten
tively and for a long time, and when
he came away he modeled his "Lion
Roaring," one of his masterpieces.
Seen in his studio ai work, it could
hardly be believed that the sculptor
was blind were it not that at times
he goes over his work by feeling it
with those ten sensitive fingers that
take the place of nis eyes.
In many instances blindness could
have been avoided had the detect been
cared for in time. If you are suffering
with your eyes, ears, nose, threat, call
on Drs. Seymour & Cox, 1219 K street,
Lincoln.
