m w (m SOCIAL GOSSIP. Saturday afternoon was pleasant and the roads were good. As early as half past three o'clock the young people whom Matteon Baldwin had invited 1o go out and formally open the Meadow Brook lodge, began to drive out to the Baldwin farm. By six o'clock there was gathered together as jolly a crowd of young people as one could wish for. There were about thirty in the party. The picnic spirit was on. Convention was left at home, congeniality taking its place. The young ladies brought ham pers of delicious lunch, and the long table in the dining room was soon tilled with baskets. Meanwhile the more energetic of the young men, among whom were George Woods, Riy Welch, Lew Marshall, Charlie Burr, Joe Mallalieu and Will Meyer, got out on the greensward and tossed ball and pitched horse shoes, alias quoits, and otherwise developed muscle and pers piration. Frank Zehrung, with that honest and outspoken disinclination for hard and unnecessary manuel labor, re mained about the lodge, preferring, pending the announcement of supper, to enjoy tho society of the ladies and other men similarly disposed, and the entertaining companionship of late numbers of Truth, the lodge being particularly well equipped in this respect. The house had been rendered specially attractive, and its comforts were fully enjoyed. It was perhaps half-past six o'clock when the fried chicken and chocolate cake, the potato salad and boiled eggs, the fruit and other delicious what-not, were arranged in inviting profusion on the dining table, and the merry party sat down to enjoy a picnic lunch in doors, served, with many of the comforts of home. Afterward the spirit of the occasion manifested itself in many ways that contributed to the pleasure of the party. Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Baldwin drove out during the evening and wit nessed the fun. The rugs were removed from the dancing floor and Mattson Baldwin, George Woods and others danced for the crowd. George Woods was prevailed upon to act as auctioneer and he essayed the role to perfection. The sale was limited to articles of virtu and Frank Zehrung was placed under the hammer. Something, either the auctioneer's glowing description or the real merit of the article itself, stim ulated the bidding, and it looked at one time as if Mr. Zehrung would fetch a really high price; but he was bid in and knocked down for a trifle of 855,000,000 to Miss Grace Oakley. The other men refused to be sold at the nominal figures prevailing, and Mr. Woods turned his talents in other directions. He delivered addresses, appeared in burlesque and melodrama and was generally enter taining. Other leading entertainers were Matt Baldwin and Guy Hurlbut. Then stories were told and there was much singing. It was eleven o'clock when the party started for home. In the party were: Mr. and Mrs. George J. Woods, Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Burr, Mr. and Mrs. Lew Marshall, Mr. and -Mrs. John T. Dorgan, Misses Mame Carson, Henrietta Hollowbush, Bessie Gahan, Jeannette Uunderwood. Kath erine Kleutsch, Mary Underwood, Maud Oakley. Lucy Griffith, Grace Oakley, Mae Burr, Messrs. Harry Lansing, J. C. Mason, J. H. Mallalieu, F. C. Zehrung, Ray Welch, W. Morton Smith, Fred White, W. A. C. Johnson, Guy Hurlbut and W. F. Meyer. Mr. Fred L. Harris spent last Sunday in Lincoln. He has bought a house in Omaha and will move into it in a few weeks when his family return from northern Wisconsin where they hav been spending the summer. Mrs. Harris has gained strength in the cool summer resort and looks forward with pleasure to living in Omaha. She was graduated at Brownell Hall and some of her classmates will be her neighbors. Recently a well known Lincoln young lady who has the happy faculty of say ing bright things, was east and called upon some acquaintances, former resi dents of Lincoln. The were staying in a hotel in an apartment house and their rooms were well up to tho top. The young lady ascended until she thought she was getting up above the world, and finally arriving at her des tination sho rang at the proper door and startled her friends with the query, "Howdo; is God in?' Most peoplo who keep up with the current catch phrases and slang are familiar with the apparently meaning less "There are others," which phrase has been dinned in tho ears of people all over the country for several months. Like most of the sayings of this kind it probably originated in New York. At any rate it has for some time had full possession of Gotham. It is heard in all walks of life and is introduced on every possible occasion. Frank Zehrung, on his recent trip to the metropolis, came in contact with it on the every hand, and he brought home a story illustrating it. "You know," said Frank, "the cars on Broadway haven't any time to lose and while of course they always stop for a lady to get on or off, the conductors seem to think it a waste of time to stop for a mere man. Well, one day there was a man, only a man. He was on Broadway, and he was drunk; at least he was in a jolly frame of mind, and was halting in his speech and gait. He wanted a car. He fought his way through omnibuses and drays out to tho track and waited calmly for the car. Pretty soon one came. It was a pretty busy car and didn't have time to stop for our jolly friend to get on. Of course he couldn't get on unless the car did stop. He braced himself and prepared to get on gracefully. The car went sail ing by. The man nearly fell over him self and gazed reproachfully at the receding vehicle. He was humiliated; but he would wait for the next car. He steadied himself again and waited. Again he was passed by. This operation was repeated two or three times. By this time there was a crowd of interest ed spectators. You know you can gather a crowd of five hundred persons in New York in about five seconds. Finally another car came along. The man stepped up on his feet and braced him self for a final effort. This time ho would make connections or know the reason why. The car came speeding by and the man appealed in vain. Then with a much injured air. he buttoned up his coat, stood on both feet for a sec ond, waved his hand at tho car, and bow ing to the crowd, said: 'There are -(hie) others.' This story,' continued Mr. Zehrung, "was all over New York in two days." Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Bartlett and son will return to Lincoln tomorrow. Mr. Bartlett "and son were registered at the Cataract house, Niagara Falls, August 18. The summer time is the time for breakfasts. The door can be open into the vine covered porch, the cat and the dog will sniff at the breakfast through the screen door, and the sparrows will keep up their all day chirp and scrap. An environment of this kind is what makes an idyl. Small and earliee in the way of break fasts are cropping up all over Lincoln. They are not recorded as racial events, only as a friendly breaking of bread with one's neighbors orfriends. Form ality is laid aside with ones garments. Eight hours sleep relaxes propriety's muscles. We dc not get really stiffened up again till about six o'clock in the evening, the time when the most formal and formidable of functions the dinners takes place. Speaking of breakfasts Mr. and Mrs. Tilton invited neighbor Ogden and wife and friend Wright and Hargreaves to breakfast with them on Sunday morn ing. A pleasant time was had, as the Journal would say. The other day some of tho older members of tho Pleasant Hour club were discussing the history of the club, and it was developed at th;s meeting that the club will be twenty-three years old the coming season. There is no official record of the earlier years of the organ ization, but if memory can be relied upon, tho club is now in its twenty third year. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Yates gave a small dinner party Saturday evening in honor of Lieutenant and Mrs. Griffith. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. Griffith, Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Ogden, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Lippincott and Mr. J. B. Wright. A pleasant time was had. For California take theMissouri Pacific route, via southern route. GHBAP RATES TO DENVER, COLO RADO SPRINGS AND PUEBUO.
