The following from a Wanhisgton
correspondent of the The Courier will
bo of intrcst to the people of Nebraska.
Every Xebraskan is undoubtedly in
terested in knowing the reception
accorded Senator and Mrs. Thurston
since coming to Washington in an
official capacity. As one of tho above
it was my privilege to hear Senator
Thurston's maiden Bpeech and I am
free to confess that all of my ex
pectations were fully realized. While
tho senator spoke but for a couple of
minutes, yet the attention showed him
by tho senate and gallery testifies to tho
belief that Nebraska's junior senator
will be a moving force in that body,
likewise a strong friend of tho old sol
diers in all pension legislation. Suc
cessful as was Senator Thurston's en
trance into the political, Mrs. Thurs
ton's arrival was just as much so. While
Mrs. Thurston has uo desire to shirk
these necessary entertainments yet she
Bet the example of Nebraska simplicity
at her first 'at homo" last Thursday af
ternoon and received any amount of fav
orable comment from the many callers.
The "indiBpensible punch bowl" which
usually graces the refreshment table in
Washington in accordance with Mrs.
Thurston's well known principle was no
where in evidence, but instead an alcove
corner off from the reception room of
the Arlington where the reception Wis
held was fitted up for a tea table and
dainty cups of tea with corn pone waf
ers were served to each caller. Despite
the inclement weather many came to
pay their respects to Mrs. Thurston as
well as Aire. Vilas who received with
Mrs. Thurston, assisted by a bevy of
young ladies. The costumes of the re
ceiving party were exceedingly hand
some. Mrs. Senator Vilas wore a gown
of dahlia colored cloth trimmed elab
orately with furs and embroidery with
an elegant vest and neck garniture of
exquisite white lace. Mrs. Senator
Thurston, a rose red and silver bro
caded satin trimmed with green velve'
and point lace. Miss Stewart, of Wis
consin, daughter of Congressman Stew
art, a Palis dress of golden faun colored
silk crepon, ruby velvet and lace. Miss
Mary Stewart a girlish frock, white
Dresden flowered silk. Miss Hutchisou,
the extremely popular daughter of Con
gressman HutchiBon, wore a most be
coming Parisian gown. Miss Bowers,
the charming daughter of Congressman
Bowers, of California, who was to have
assisted in the receiving, was takeu sud
denly ill just before hand and was com
pelled to leave in a carriage before the
reception began. The reception was
purely an afternoon "at home." The re
ceiving party wore no gloves. However
the rooms were darkened and the elec
tric lights added brillancy to the red
decorations of flowers and palms.

A dance by the Beta Theta Pi fra
ternity is always a pleasant affair and
the one given last Saturday evening was
no exception to the rule. The hand
some house on G street was a pretty
sight with its many lights, the bright
dresses of the fair ladies and the taste
ful decorations of pink and blue. The
upper hall was fitted up with divans
and made a pretty place for rest be
tween dances. 1 he music was furnished
by a piano situated in the lower main
hall. A punch bowl in one of the side
rooms was well patronized. It was a
unique funch bowl to be sure. An
evaporating dish from the chemical
laboratory and beakers for glasses.
There were no decorations about the
bowl, a severe plainness that went well
with the curious outfit. Those who
were present at the dance: Misses
