I!
ply a Bhort-lived fad, they will begin
to take an Interest In them and will
perhaps wish to join them. I And that
the club that I enjoy the most of all. Is
the one to which my husband belongs."
The little town of Plattsmouth has
oneof the most wide-awake clubs In the
state. The membership Is not very
large, but everyone takes a great inter
est and some of the programs would do
credit to towns of a much larger popu
lation. Mrs. B. M. Stoutenborough is
the president, and under her Intelligent
and enthusiastic guidance the club is
making great progress.
The Dante, or Rose Cottage club, that
proved so interesting last year under the
leadership of Miss Phoebe Elliott, has
not been started this year. Miss Elli
ott, who is the president of the wo
man's club, says that she feels that she
has not the time to snare from the wo
man's club this year. She Is trying to
attend ever department meeting and
thus keep in perfect touch with the
whole club.
Students' musical recitals are, as a
general thing, Interesting only to the
Immediate friends and relatives of the
ones who take part on the program.
Hut owing to the kindness of heart of
many people there is usually a fair
audience out to hear a pupils' recital.
If one is interested In a certain young
musician and goes to each recital
where he happens to appear, and takes
notice of his progress from time to
time, then there Is some interest in go
ing to hear amateur performers. On
last Wednesday evening the pupils of
the university school of music gave
their third public recital. The program
was short and most of the piano num
bers were studies or music so near like
Ft utiles that there was scarcely any dif
ference. There were two voice numbers
given, one by Miss Gertrude Wright and
one by Miss Imogene Clinton. Miss
Wright sang "The Herdsman's Moun
tain Home." by Abt. and Miss Clinton
sang a serenade by Rosewlg. Neither
of the young ladles did anything re
markably well or remarkably bad.
They are. however, doing better work
than last year, and that shows that It
Is of some use for them to study music.
The piano numbers were played well.
One or two showed some Individuality.
The selections were not of an Interest
ing sort with the exception of "Les Pa
pllllons." by Gregtu The following Is
the piano program:
"Third Fantasle" Helen Hopekirk
Gertrude Hansen.
"Scherzo" Gade
Mary Kettering.
Prelude, andante religioso move-
ment Massenet
Martha Hasse.
Bouree No. 1 BaCh
"Les Papllllons" Gregh
Mae Colson.
There was but one violin number on
the program and that was played by
little Willie Mudra. The selection was
"Yankee Doodle" with variations. Miss
May Belle Magenow was at the piano
and the juveniles did some very credit
able work.
A New York contemporary says: The
Hon. Julius Sterling Morton wrote in
his letter to the public. No. 3,467. sec
ond series, part fifth, for last week, that
he favored a stamp tax. If the Hon.
Julius Sterling Morton does not use a
frank, but pays his own postage, the
annual addition to the postal revenue
will alone be. sufficient to wipe out all
deficits and give the treasury a pleurisy
once more. He is the complete letter
writer for which the world has waited.
All others are fraudulent. He was born
with a box of fountain pens in his hand.
Paper mills spring up wherever he goes.
Twelve hundred and fifty-three type
writers. working day and night, cannot
gorge his appetite for epistolary re
marks. And though he works hard him
self, and Is both ambidextrous and ped
ograph, he Is behindhand in his cor
respondence. The Jahr-markt, given by the Presby
terian ladles at the Capitol was a pe
cuniar', a social and a pictorial success.
The Dutch costumes are made up of
bright, light colors. The effect of a
room full of these colors, flooded by the
light from the big chandelier. Is as bril
liant as a hunt ball. The arrangement
of the booths was unusually happy In
regard to color, and form. People go
a long way to see a picture by a great
colorist and then when an opportunity
like this occurs they forget to climb
the stairs Into the gallery, half close
their eyes and receive the impression of
the whole. The women of each church
have an especial and individual gift,
which distinguishes it or them from the
other churches. The Presbyterian la
dies when they "get up" a sociable or a
fair appear to do it with a vim, an In
dustrious energy that exhausts for the
time being, the sources of supply. They
are fertile in invention, untiring and
unsparing of themselves. They attain
success and they deserve it.
For a good many years the Thanks
giving party of the Pleasant Hour club
has been a notable annual event. The
one held last Friday evening was es
pecially delightful. There were not as
many visitors as at some of the previ
ous Thanksgiving parties, but it .was
a gay and brilliant affair. Owing to
the illness of F. C. Zehrung. W. A. C.
Johnson acted as master of ceremon
ies Chrysanthemums were recognized at
the Lincoln club at the dance given
last week. The decorations were really
beautiful and the club scored a real
triumph In this second dance. There
were facilities for playing cards but
most of the people preferred to dance.
The next Lincoln club dance will be
given during the holidays.
Miss Olive Latta entertained, vers
informally and very delightfully, a
number of young people at tea Sunday
evening in honor of Mr. Mansfield and
Mr. Chambers, of Peoria. Friday even
ing of last week, after the Pleasant
Hour club dance. Miss Latta served
supper to fifteen of twenty of her
friends.
The Patriarchs gave their third
dance at the Lansing hall last evening.
As usual it was an event of rare en
joyment. The Patriarchs have accept
ed a number of new members recently.
August Hagenow and Robert S.
Browne have joined forces, the new or
chestra being known as the Philhar
monic This combination is one of
strength, and the Philharmonic orches
tra is pretty sure to get its full share of
musical patronage.
A number of young society men who
this week received ornamental cotton
handkerchiefs through the mall. In en
velopes addressed In feminine hand
writing, are wondering what the joke
is. They say they are not specially
dull, but they are unable to see the
point of the anonymous presentation.
One young man who received a hand
kerchief with pictures of fish on It
thinks that probably the young lady
imagines he is a fish. But in this case
he doesn't bite.
Mrs. John L. McConnell has been se
riously 111 for a week. As The Courier
goes to print she is reported much bet
ter. Mrs. McConnell Inaugurated the
era of Woman's clubs,, in Lincoln. The
Ingleside and the. Avon were started at
her suggestion, and the first meetings of
both were held at her home. Although
these clubs no longer exist the former
members know her worth and hold her
suggestions valuable In the. conduct of
today's clubs. Perhaps no woman In
