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,

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

Burr, Owen Oakley, R. M. Joyce, W. F.

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.

The Sunday school workers are pre
paring for an enthusiastic meeting on
the Fourth of September. Nothing of
the kind has ever been held west of St.
Louis. The parade will take place at
noon, and be a representation of the
Tribes of Israel. The tabernacle which
will be set up in Lincoln park will be
an exact copy of the building the tribes
used on the march. The court of the
tabernacle was surrounded by a fence
made of posts and connected by sheet
ing 7 feet wide. When the tabernacle
was set up each post was carried to its
place and set up by one man. It will
take sixty-six men to carry the posts,
twenty men to carry the brazen altar and
twelve to carry the golden candlesticks.
