THE COURIER. 1 i K K l pretty compliment to Mrs. Isabel Kichey and William Reed Dunroy, two Codkiek contributors, by reciting from the poems of each. Miss Mary Newell is at home. Wednesday is ladies day at the nata toriutn. Mrs. J. A. Conner, of Omaha, is visit ing in town. The Misses Love have returned to their home at Fremont after a stay at "Sunnyside." Rev. H. B. Burgess of St. Luke's is in the east. Judge Dundy, Mrs. Dundy, Mrs. Scipio Dundy and several other mem bers of the large and cheerful family connection have gone in a special cai to Wyoming. They have hunted in the Big (lorn mountains before and many is the bear skin that proves their brav ery. Mrs. Dundy jr., can shoot a rifle and hit a deer with her eyes open. And everybody knows how Judge Dundy can throw a bear and cut his throat. Many Lincoln people, the younger members of society in particular, have enjoyed driving out to the Baldwin farm, known as "Meadow Brook, five miles south of the city. The Baldwins have dispensed a generous hospitality at this beautiful farm, and "Meadow Brook" haB been a popular objective point for picnic and outing parties. To better entertain his friends at the farm Mattson Baldwin has erected a club house, which was completed only this week, and which it is proposed to dedi cate this afternoon, when a party of young people will drive out. The building is finely located about a third of a mile from the road. In front is a smooth expanse of greensward, and behind and on either side is a large grove. Close by are swiftly running natural springs, and the peaceful Salt Creek. The house itself and the sur roundings are all that one could ask. The former is picturesque. A slanting shingle roof covers the building proper and extends over a large porch, support ed by rustic colums. Exclusive of the porch there is a floor space of 22x30 feet. Inside things are most inviting. There is a large reception room ceiled with hard pine, with hard wood oiled floor. In one corner is a luxurious low divan, with a tempting assortment of pillows. There are all sorts of rustic easy chairs, and many facilities on all sides for lounging. On tables are to be found current pictorial literature, and pipes and other insigoa of bachelordom decorate the walls. There are pictures from Life and Truth and photographs and what not gracefully arranged with decorative ribbons. Beyond is the dining room, the entrance to which is hung with rope portierres, designed by Mrs. Baldwin. This room is also ceiled, and contains a long table and benches suggestive of merry banquets. There is a convenient kitchen, with a proper outfit, and upstairs are two eleeping rooms. The first story is so arranged that nearly the entire space is available foi a dancing floor. Lincoln, or the country adjacent is particularly barren of hospitable oases of this Bort, and Mr. Baldwin's enterprise is bound to be gratefully appreciated by his friends. Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Beeson gave a little party on Wednesday evening. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Lippincott, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Brown. Mr. and Mrs. J, A. Buckstaff, Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Ogden, Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Townley, Dr. and Mrs. Ladd, Mr. J. B. Wright, 'Mr. Walter Hargreaves, Mr. R. J. Greene. Mr. and Mrs. Beeeon's guests are always happy. A pleacant and exhil arating lunch was served. The enter-, tainment was conversation. Emerson says that all there is of this world is "a little conversation." Whether it is worth while or not depends upon the kind. Mrs. Beeeon's "salon" has the char acteristics of a French woman's, the light thrust and parry, touch and go, and delicate allusion of Recamier. Frederick Anderson and Miss Julia Anderson, his sister, of St. Louis, spent a few days in this city, the guests of the family of L. C. Burr. They arrived Sat urday and left Tuesday. Monday even ing a delightful Bailing and dancing party was givon in their honor at Bur lington Beach. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Lew Marshall, Mr.and Mrs. C. L. Burr, Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Burr, Earl Bridgeman, W. E. Johnson, Miss Maud Oakley, Miss Mame Carson, Mies Helen Burr, Owen Oakley, R. M. Joyce, W. F. Meyer, Howell of Omaha. A recent letter from Mrs. Can field contains interesting news of her Colum bus home and surroundings. She says the president's house is an old ono in tne corner of an older orchard. It is being altered to suit the needs of the new occupants. The old kitchen, closets, pantrys and a bed room are beicg taken out to make one long studio 34x15 feet, with a big window. All who knew the large studio Mrs. Canfield occupied in her first home here, with its divans, rugs and draperies can picture her in her new studio. Mr. Canfield junior, affectionally known as Jimmie, is in business in Columbus and will remain there through the winter. He likes Columbus very well, though his heart is with his old comrades in Nebraska whom he never wished to leave. Miss Canfield has just returned from Vermont where she has been spending the summer.
