most striking in appearance and the
most stylish. She Is nearly six feet
tall, has eyes like diamonds, dances
well and above all, sings like like a
bird. Her father is one of the lumber
barons. Her mother is well known for
her many charities, good deeds and
innumerable friends. The Hoagland
house Is one of the most hospitable in
town.
Miss Louise Squires Is the liveliest of
the buds. The dances are all too short
for her or for anyone dancing with her.
Her claims to favor are based on her
winning manners and unselfish regard
for all her friends. Her father laid all
the asphalt pavements in the city and
the streets he paved are the pride of
the town. Her mother was the leader
of society when these buds were study
ing primers. Mrs. Squires has sung in
the principal church choirs here for
years and the church will not let her
go because each year her voice, like
her heart, seems to grow sweeter and
gives happiness to all who come near
her.

dark brown eyes and classical features.

sist In some capacity, at many of the
greatest functions and her great beau
ty adds grace to all such scenes.

Society is dull In these days before
Christmas. Everybody, more especial
ly women, and they run it, is busy se
lecting or making gifts. There are no
teas or dinners or parties to chronicle.

in their rooms over the First National
bank on last Saturday evening.
The Phi Kappa Psi's gave an after
noon tea to all the fraternity young
ladies at their home In the Potvln
house, last Saturday afternoon. They
called it a Boston tea. Whether be
cause so much was disposed of on the
spot where Indians used to camp or
because of the fraternities cultured way
of imbibing it did not develop. At any
rate it was a nice party, the house was
full and gayety was as plentiful as tea.

Miss Bessie Tuttle of this city showed
three or four pictures in the recent
Chicago artists exhibition at the art In
stitute. They were very favorably no
ticed by the city papers. Lincoln Is
producing bright people. They can go
off into a great big city and still shine,
sometimes even brighter than they do
here. People here do not seem to have
time to think of pictures. Lately they
have begun to dream of a time when
they shall again have enough bread
and butter to eat. As I was saying,
this quiet little Elizabeth Tuttle (it is
a long name but she carries It off well)
with a wide space between her grey
eyes and her robes flowing from almost
the shoulder Is appreciated in Chicago
with the best of them and along with
some others we will be saying some
day "Oh, I used to know her like a
book."

branch begins his contributions to The

"The year 1893 in society," says the
Saunterer in Town Topics, speaking of
New York society, "was extremely un
important. By the time 1896 is half fin
ished no one but those persons immedi
