Tle Olotoe Olotlxins House, lOtli 4te O THE COURIER 13 Mrs. A. T. Leming and dangter, Miss Grace, have gone to Texas, where they will epend several months. audience was thoroughly appreciative, but the lack of number great ly reflected on tho taste of the good people of Lincoln who can scarcely bo compelled to hear a worthy program, but crowd tho doors at tho "Texas Steer," "Bunch of Keys" or similar entertain ments. Miss Mary Dawes, of Marietta, Ohio, who has been visiting Mr. and Mrs Charles Dawes, leaves for her homo noxt week. Mrs. G. M. Dartlott left for Chicago Tuesday. J. P. Buttcriield has gone to Borden, Ind. X E. T. Rhodes has gone to Leavenworth, Has. Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Little have gone to Los Angeles. General Thayer returned Tuesday from the Republican valley. Mrs. Thomas Marsland left Wednesday for New York City to meet her daughter. Miss Gertrude, who is returning from a three month's visit to England and Ireland. Miss Marsland sailed Satur day the 27th, from Liverpool on the Cunarder Etruria. Miss Marie Wilson, who has been visiting friends in this city, re turned to her homo in Nebraska City, Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. McDowell, of Fairbury are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Cox. Rev. Huntington and wife left Monday for Chicago. "Oysters" were the menu of a supper given by the trustees of the Congregational church. These gentlemen never do things by halves so these delicious bivalves were served in the most tempting manner to all who availed themselves of the invitation. As the funds were for the Industrial School the partaker found additional relish in the pleasing of his own palate and contributing to a worthy object. The storm of Monday was not sufficient to keep Sorosis ladies from attendance upon the regular meeting. The promise of an in teresting paper from Mrs. Welch upon Australia was also a motive and this promipe was amply fullfilled. The continent of Austra hasia, with its advanced ideas and legislation is a most profitable study for the people of the United States and as its new phases are presented wo may adopt those that prove successful and leave un tried those that assure success. New Zealand has gone farther in new ventures than the other colonies and has successfully intro duced woman suffrage and compromised with the laboring class. Mrs. Welch's very thorough acquaintance with the country enabled her to answer intelligently the many questions propounded and to lead the ladies into an entirely different train of thought than that awakened at the former discussion of that subject. An adjourn ment was taken until November 12. The next meeting will be held in room 17, Nebraska Hall, when Miss Richardson will illustrate her "Trip through the Yellowstone."' A very interesting and unique entertainment was given under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. in the Congregational Church, Tuesday evening. The opening number was a violin solo by August Hage now, accompanied by Lis daughter May Belle. Of Mr. Hagenow's playing it is unnecessary to speak, for all Lincolnites know his con scientious and artistic work. The "little maid" accompanies in a superior manner and unless some unforeseen circumstance occurs will develop into a rare pianist. A song "Sunny Spain" by Hattie Cropper, and a cradle song, "Sleep, My Child,' by Mrs. Cropper re vealed talent that will prove valuable additions to Lincoln musical circles. Little Florence Lawrence appeared in a charming song and later as "Ragged Pal," which was clever, and remarkably done. Great credit was reflected upon the careful and judicious training of her mother who appeared in the song. Mr. Flanque, of the Uni versity conservatory, gave a banjo solo which met with much favor that a recall was imperative. The gentleman is thoroughly master of his instrument and the music was a revelation to those who had hitherto failed to see art or music in banjo playing. The successful program closed with a "Nocturne" for violin, viola anJ piano which left impressions of dreamy night songs and sweetest melody. The Dr. D. W. C. Huntington left Tuesday to attend the general com mittee of tho church extension, freedmen's aid and missionary soc ieties at Philadelphia on November 1, and later to visit at New York and Brooklyn. C. H. Prango and family have gone to Stuttgart, Ark., where they will make their future home. Otto Mohrenstecher spent Sunday in Nebraska City. Judge McCandless returned Monday from Nebraska City. Hon Church Howe was at the Lincoln Sunday. There is no falling off in the number of projected weddings and Linccln society circles have scarcely time to recover from the effects of one couple breaking awaj from single blessedness, beforo another interesting occasion comes to keep up the excitement. Weddings past and to come are the chief topic of conversation; even politics being forced into second place by the interest manifested in these important affairs, and while members of the hunting set are chasing the aniseed bag and the foot ball enthusiasts are chasing the pigskin, the young men and women of society are industriously chasing wedding presents; so that altogether the social season may be said to be quite active. Rev. A. B. Whitraer of Osceola lectured Tuesday night at Grace Methodist church on "Things That Make Me Tired." The church was crowded, the lecture having been well advertised by the Ep worth League, under who auspices it was given. Miss Mattie Goodell was delightfully surprised on Saturday even ing by a large number of her young friends, including the senior class of the high school, dropping in upon her unexpectedly and bringing with them flowers and a beautiful book. The evening was passed with games, music and a dainty collation. The unexpected guests wero: Misses Clara Leese, Frankie Burleigh, Sue Bartrum, Clara Hammond, Ruth Hamilton, Bertie Hearn, Morrison, Gertrude Brown, Josie Hoyt, Estella King, Annetta Abbott, Rosa Kohn, Flora Burns, Ethelyn Hooper, Emily Weeks, Edna Charles, Maude Haw ley, Bessie Lane, Anna Betheune, Etta Oberlis, Ethel Lawton, Blanche Brown, Dorotha Wilson, Alice Whitmore, Lucy McCarger, Minnie Smith, Edith Henry; Messrs. Frank Miller, Henry Tucker, Edson Henry, Bert Watkins, Louis Ryons, Wilfred Smith and Morrison. The marriage of Miss Hattie L. Lyon and Mr. William G. Cham berlain was solemnized Wednesday evening at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Liyon, 1417 Q street. The par lore were effectively adorned with flowera and palms. At eight o'clock the happy couple took their places under a canopy of carna tions and Rev. E. S. Branch performed the impressive ceremony. The bride was becomingly gowned in white silk and carried a bunch of roses. Mr. Chamberlain is the president of the Chamberlain-Griffin academy of this city.
