The university library, with its thir ty thousand volumes has finally been moved Into the new library quarters. where there Is light and air and room enough to turn around. Besides the book room and reading room there are cataloguing rooms and packing rooms and a little glass cage for the librarian's ofllce. The rumor that the engagement be tween a certain Lincoln society youth and a well-dowered young lady of Cin cinnati has been broken off is vigor ously denied by the friends of the young man, and as the young man has just re turned from a visit to Cincinnati and looks anything but forlorn the report is probably false. The Vine Street Congregational Y. P. S. C. E. surprised Miss Blanche De Witt and Mr. Edward Porter on the advent of their mutual birthday last Saturday evening. Mrs. DeWItt and Mrs. Porter, the mother of the two young people, were aware of the intend ed visitation and were ready for the young people with refreshments and diversions of the youthful and festive kind. If you stand on the university campus and gaze upon the mass of raw, green humanity that ambles awkwardly by you, you wonder that anything respec table can ever be made out of such ma terial, yet they seem to bring some pret ty good stuff out of it sometimes. Somebody said last year that all the Jays on earth had been mustered out and sent up to the university In a body, but there were a few hundred left for this year. If you want to see novelties in dress and etiquette, just go up there and look about you. And the queerest part of It Is that so often the jays make better men and even jollier fellows than the correct birds with trim gait and plumage neatly parted In the middle. The ladles matinee musical Is getting ready for work again after a summer's rest. Even during this trying summer the members have been by no means Inactive and the programme committee has done excellent work in arranging the line of study for the winter. The Jlrst regular meeting of the year will take place at the Curtice Music Hall October 7th. The membership commit tee, consisting of Mrs. A. "W. Jansen, Mrs. "Will Owen Jones and Mrs. John Doan were at the home of Mrs. Jones, 1418 L street all of Thursday morning, September 26th, to receive applicants for active membership. Applicants were requested to go to Mrs. Jones' pre pared to give some demonstration of their musical abilities, either vocal or Instrumental. The names of all candi dates upon whom the committee de cided favorably will be acted upon at the first regular meeting of the club. Candidates for associate membership can hand their names to any member of the club and they will be acted upon at the first regular meeting. The fee for associate members has been retained at $3 for this year. The onward march toward matri mony continues. No stress of hard times can keep back the movement. A couple of weeks ago I spoke of the re ported engagement of a young wholesale druggist of this city to a young lady re siding in a state to the east of Nebras ka. The young man. for some reason, objected to the publicity given to his plans, and not many hours after The Courier appeared, he went, so I am in formed, to Omaha, where he Is very well known, to escape congratulations. But all of the Omaha papers copied the item from The Courier, and the- young man found hmself quite as much the object of attention in Omaha as in thl city, and like the cat, he came back. Speaking of engagements it is under stood that one of the proprietors of a planing mill in this city and a young lady well known in social circles, whose family name is identified, with the shoe business, are soon to wed. The young man is somewhat reserved, and has generally disdained society: but when ever he has made his appearance he has been warmly received. He has, as has the young lady, many friends. And then It is said that a young furniture merchant, who like the planing mill
