Beat la the Capital City.
Other reasons why Lincoln is a good
plao to live are the reasonable rent
for those who cannot own their own
homes and the opportunlUea for employ
ment along all lines for the unemployed
A modern five to six-room cottage with
all the convenience, which th. aver.,, 'counter appear, on an equality in the o-
venient location, within walking dl:'i;-e
of the business section can be runted
from t'M a month up, according to Inca
t on. Farther out the rents are '.orre
ftpondmgly cheaper, while the larger
houses rent for suing con depending to
their sis and nearneea to th business
center. House without the more met
ern equipment can be rented from (II
down and most of them are new and
very comfortable, situated In good sur
rounding. Apartment houses can b
found In the most desirable portion of
the city, where small families can find
all the modern conveniences at a very
rtasonable rental, while some of the more
fashionable apartment flats give an op
portunity for as lavish outlay as one
could desire.
Social Life I Pleasaat.
The evcial life of Lincoln Is attractive.
It Is attractive because It Is almost wholly
devoid of that condition which prevails
In so many cities of the country where
an individual 1 measured by hi money
more than by personal worth.
Lincoln ha sometimes been referred to
as "a great big overgrown country vil
lage." To tome extent Lincoln will plead
guilty to the charge. When the social
life of th city Is taken Into considera
tion, Lincoln is one great family. An In
dividual 1 measured by his true worth
and his Income cuts but very little figure
when hi measurement Is taken for
octal suit of clothes.
Of course to some extent Lincoln ha
It "social 400." But that "400" is not o
TeT far removed from the "300" or th
"100." Th clerk who work for a salary
stands Just a well a th proprietor of
the establishment in which he works. If
he I a gentleman. The girl behind the
cial cluu If ehe Is .1 true girl snd a lady,
and Is received In the beet homes of the

gome nf the. Clubs. -While
lncoln has her clubs and her
club, there is really but one club, the
big woman's club, which Is said to be the
largest single club In any city of the slie
of Lincoln In the country. It ha attained
a membership a high a over 1,300 and
I a potent factor among the other dub
of a Ilk nature over the, country.
Branching out from thlr great olub are
140 smaller clubs. Among the most Im
portant of these are the literary olub
known as the Tuesday Review club, the
Sorosls and th Fortnightly club. The
P. E. O. club, with a membership of over
150. which recently entertained the largest
state gathering of the organisation over
held In the state. Is another potent factor
In club life. The dancing club known a
the Cotillion, the Patriarch, the oldest
club in th city, the Monday Night club,
with a membership of seventy-five, and
other do their part toward making tho
social life what It Is.
Lincoln's Coaatry flan. '
It would not do to leave this subject
and not mention the Country club with
Ks membership of over 250. Situated in
th western part of the city, with Its fine
club building and It spacious golf link.
It I a busy place most of th time and
present to the club member a chance to
get away from the busy business life out
Into the "primitive," so to speak, where
he can lay aside the caret of the day and
mingle with the social life and the enjoy-'
ment of the links on the outside or tho
pleasures of the oclal danc on the In-'
side. '
