With the ( Inril and ilcclalvo unseating ol reluctant winter ( mm the lap of spring anil the groming attractions ot outdoot pleasures to gentle and simple alike , the boundary line between society and the world beyond the pile becomes less dis tinctly marked and sticnuously Insisted on , and all ( .lasses stand alike and enjoy BOOK measure of equality before the face ol mother nature. This commingling , to be sure , does away with part of the universally rccognl/cd usefulness ot the society page , but oven fmeh n. loss , which though severe , is well known to he but temporary. Is more than counlcibalanrcd by the benefit to health and spirits which will accrue to all from a plentiful experience of sunlight and fresh air The scutum Is > ct by no means dead , as the following record of the Week's events will show , the saino scrutiny , however , will show It near Its close Several receptions nnd lean of considerable magnitude and complete success 1mvo happened slncn the last review ; a good number of dinners , S.UP- ] iis , lunches nnd card parties ha\n been Klven , and many people liavo rome and gone. A notable ovcnl which Is set for next wrck la the entertainment to be given next Friday evening at lloyd's by Mr. and Mrs Moinnd and the pupils ot their dancing Bchool The uniform excellence ot these CMa > festivals In the past H BUIllclent guar anty th it this one will he well woith Bcolng not only by the parents , relatives and friends ot trie little ones who will par ticipate , but as well by all and sundry who love to sec childhood In one. of Its most at tractive phases. The recent mysterious explosion which chool ; Capitol.Hill onu night a fortnight ago Is not goneially believed to have been the popping of .1 question , hut the fact that It Is followed closely by rumors of an engage ment not > ot announced , but calculated , In Its unoxpcetcdncM and bj reason of the ) iromlnenco of the pai tlcw concerned , to ex- eltn widespread interest , lends color to the belief that It may have- been something of tliu Mud. The wheel Juat now monopolizes thp atten tion of the majority of those who In the midst ot polite eoclcty hunger for an out door life , hut tennis is rapidly coming to Its usual prominence , and even golf Is be ginning to loom above the horizon as a pos- hiblllty for Nebiaskn hills and dales. This last niracd pastime is denounced with vast scorn by the same exuberant natures which k Hud tennis effeminate and which see In golf I only the protracted chase of a qulnlno pill over a cow pasture with a mallet. To n fair minded observer It would seem that this ancient * Scottish pastime would give ample opportunity for the exercise of both muse * and wind and the chances ate that It golf cornea It will come to stay.

Ho gave the old but never tire some "Mocking Illrd" with many Intricate variations , nnd for an encore pla > od a popular march , which from the swing and rhythm may well have been one of Sousa's The third part of the program was some thing ot a novoltj , being n one-act comic operetta , composed by Prof 13dgrcn and entitled , "Happy Cnrl s Klrst Experience In America " It depicted the many em barrassments of n joung Swedish emigrant , just landed at Castle Gulden , and his sub sequent adventures In n Now York hotel the climax being reached when , thirsty fiom the fatigues ot an ocean \ojage , he pressed the electric button live times , as per the directions , for "porter. " The porter ter appeared In the shape of n dusky servitor , entirely unknown In Sweden , and the curtain went down on a life nnd death struggle between the emigrant and the hotel servitor over a piece ot baggage which suffered much during the encounter. Thu fourth part was distinctively Swedish It presented a series of dances and songs , all given in national costumes , nnd many of them newto the Swodloh-Amerlcan portion of the audience.
