About all the life thero is in society
these days is confined to a discussion
of engagements and approaching mar
riages. One can talk of these things
without any particular exertion. It
has been observed that Lincoln society
has largely outgrown the summer pio
a common thing to have a picnic and
dance about once every two weeks. Last year, after the picnic at
Cushman Park at which Charley Clarke contracted a fatal illness,
there was a practical cessation of this form of entertainment, and
this summer tnere has been little or nothing in the way of picnics.
Most people have been away for a few weeks and thoso who have
remained at home have been content to remain quiet during the
oppressively warm weather.
