Born, on December 1G, 1895, to Lieut,
and Mrs. T. W. Griffith in San Antonia,
Texas, a daughter.
George Woods was able to be moved
from the sanitarium to hiB home on

Miss Carson gave a very delightful
card party on Monday night in her par
ents suite at the Lincoln. The party
was small and not especially premedi
tated, but very elegant. Those present
were: Mr. and Mrs. Will Robinson, Mr.
and Mrs. Lew Marshall, Mr. and Mrs.
John Dorrau Miss Grace Oakley, Miss
Hoover, Mrs. Bailey, Mr. Morton Smith,
Mr. John Dixon, Mr. Guy Hurlbut, Mr.
Maitson Baldwin, Mr. Harry Lansing.
The game was hearts and Mrs. Dorgan
won one of the royal prizes and Mr.
Lew Marshall the other.
Miss Agnes Sewell is going to Colum
bus, O., soon to visit Captain and Mitt.

Many persons will remember the
1492 troupe that played in Lincoln last
winter. It was a very good troupe and
full of funny things things one can
laugh at without being ashamed of
oneself and everybody else. The fea
ture of the performance was "Isabella"
the man with Juno's neck features and
small taper-fingered hands and a soprano
voice besides. The company is said to
be even better than last winter.
Lieut. Townley has decided to open a
whist class. Such a cla&3 ought to be
successful. There are so many clubs
who play the game here. It would seem
as if a uniform method might increase
each player's interest. Half the misery
in the world is due to misunderstand
ing. If partners know how to correctly,
deduce hands from plays satisfaction
must result even if the score be 5 to 8
against the knowing pair. The satis
faction of knowing that you did the
right thing at the right time defeat can
not deprive jou of. Therefore I hope
Preacher To wnley's class meetings will
be full of scholars. Whist trains the
mind to reason and trains it without
straining after toilsome days. It is a
recreation that stimulates and strength
ens too. Whist, in fact, is a gymnasium
for the mind. It is fitted with various
apparatus Buited to strengthen the
weakest mental muscle.
Before the end of the month the Pleas
ant Hour club will give a party.
The Woman's club met Monday at the
conservatory and its members enjoyed
the following program:
The Art of Swimming Mrs. Patrick
My Experience Learning to Swim
Mrs. C. H. Rudge
Costumes for Swimming... .Mrs. lmhoff
General Talk on Swimming. .Mrs. Abel
Mrs. Abel is the swimming teacher at
the sanitarium and illustrated her talk
on the different kinds of swimming by
a chart The subject was enthusiastic
ally and clearly presented. On every
Wednesday morning Mrs. Abel drills the
ladies who have been her pupils. Last
Wednesday her class numbered eight.
They were Mr F. B. Righter, Miss
Phoebe Elliott, Mrs. Patrick, Mrs. C. H.
Rudge, Mrs. Austin Humphrey, Mrs.
Struck. Mrs. M. H. Everett. The evo
lutions Mrs. Abel put these ladies
through amused them and their audi
ence of a hundred other ladies. The
first movement used a good many
muscles, but its performance was dis
tinctly comic The ladies lay on their
backs on the water with their hands
clasping the railing over- their heads,
then they all kicked while the teacher
counted one, two, one, two, increasing in
rapidity until the feet made a white
straak in the air and the strokes could
not be counted, and the water flew up
six feet. Then the class was put
through its steps in rapid succession.
They swam on their backs with only one
hand, with two hands, then with the
hands quiet propelled themselves by
their feet. Then on the face again with
feet, body and arms still they went
through the water like ducks. You
know how smoothly, swiftly and on top
of the water a duck glides? You never
think of laughing till you see his feet.
Mrs. Abel's class had the fin movement
to the life. Mrs. Righter swam
with grace and fearlessness and
without apparent effort. Mrs.
Rudge dove, swam on the bottom
of the tank and turned somer
saults as gracefully as a lad. Her cos
tume was a suit of tight fitting black
and as she darted and turned in the
water with sinuous familiar movements
she was the belle of the water party.
These are only a few of Mrs. Abel's pu
pils. Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Green, Mrs.
Beeson, Mrs. .Leonard, are some of the
best known but there are scores of
them. And after a few months instruc
tion they learned to swim as I have
described. No account of swimming
ladies would be complete without Miss
Elliott's name. I think it was her spirit
of enthusiasm and enjoyment that
started the rest. There is no water
feat she cannot perform. If one be
languidpeevish or bored, let him take
Miss Elliott's medicine of exercisn and
high enjoyment of life and be cured.
The sanitarium is growing too small for
its custom. Dr. M. H. Everett never ex
pected to be called to perform more
than ten or eleven Eurgical operations
the first year. He performed thirty. At
the present time the demand for rooms
is greater than the supply. When easier
times arrive the building will be en
larged. The architect is working on the
Clans now. A long hospital ward 'will
o added and more bath rooms. Ihe
plan is to have a large court at the back
so that there will be a brick wall be
tween patients and the noise of the
street. The institution itself is one that
Lincoln is justly proud of. The state
is beginning to find it out, which is why
it appears to be growing small. The
waters are as medicinal as that of any
baths in the country. Nevertheless
some people go away a prophet, etc.
Miss Henrietta Hollowbush is visit
ing friends' in Worcester, Mass. Her
friends here will be glad to know that
she has almost recovered from the at
tack oi grippe from which she suffered

W. Walter Abbott, a young composer

in his line. Recently he published a set

Sons of Chicago. He has some pretty
songs and other selections that have not
yet seen the ink of publication.
Miss Joy Webster is the envy of her
schoolmates and friends. She spent the
holidays in New York city, where she
saw Irving and Terry in Thomas A.
Becket, and heard Calve and other great
singers in concert and opera.
The Laing Bros, give a phonograph
concert at the Congregational church
on Monday evening of next week. The
Ebonograph renders whistling solos,
and pieces, jubilee and vocal solos dis
tinctly. The concert is given for the

have been. Miss Lettie Watson, Miss
