numerous small parties. The JHBior
promenade tilled the dining room, ordi
nary and rotunda of the Lincoln with
youth, the scent of roses and a bloom
that waa not of the rose, but such as
will not fade for years to ccme years
will rub it out. Little the dancers on
Wednesday night though, cared for
Time's distant menace. They had a
good time with all a student's abandon.
Tbe dancing was of a quality hesitat
ing, uopracticed, apologetic they did
nat care for this either. The regents are
. doing a hard-working, manly set of men
and beautiful girls, who of course enjoy
each other's society, a great injustice by
not allowing them a mouthly party in
the armory. Tbe man who is unable to
appreciate the educational advantages
of a dancing party deserves not to have
any constituency tbe politicians dream,
or to have it get up and leave him stand
ing in the middle of the floor the poli
tician's eight mare. Tbe regent who
insists on letting the studonts use the
armory for what they please and the
body will Lever use it for any unworthy
purpose is going to making an enviable
Nebraska reputation. I wish the regents
might have been at the promenade.
Their scruples had vanished and shame
for hardness of heart would have made
new and better men of them.
Becallingother performances by local
talent under the auspices of Trinity
church, it is easy to believe that Mr.
Seamark's production of "Pirates of
Penzance," to be given Monday evening
at the Lansing theatre, will be both in
teresting and successful. Following is
tbe cast:
Ruth practical maid of all work
Miss Jessie Hoffman
. Mabel Miss Harriett Adele Simons
Edith Miss Nan Mawe
Kate Mise Fanne Getting
Isabel Miss Jennie M. Buncher
Pirate King Mr. Robert Manley
Pirate Lieut . . . .Mr. Arthur Hutchinson
Sergeant of Police
...Mr. C.W.Kettering
Major General Mr. Walter Keens
Frederic Pirate apprentice
:..Mr. HJ WSeamark
There will be a large chorus and the
Philharmonic orchestra will assist. Miss
Stella Rice will be the pianist. Mr. Sea
mark is stage manager and director.
Friday, next week, the Pleasant-Hour
club will give a dance and the an
nouncement that it will be just a plain
dance is a cause of gratification. So
ciety people have been surfeited with
germans and masked balls, and a return
to the old form will be a relief. After
Lent there will be one more Pleasant
Hour party possibly two. Another of
next week's events is Mrs. Lambert
son's afternoon "at home,' on the 18th.
Probably the slight fall of snow on
Tuesday night called out but one sleigh
' Fred Righter was unable to resist the
attractions of that fall of paper thinness.
He rushed to the barn, all his move
ments are rapid seized a soap box, cut
swan-Bleigh curves in it, nailed it to his
sled, made a harness of ropa for his
small riding pony, hustled him out of
hie stall and hitched him to the cutter
with about six feet of rope between the
cutter and the steed in case the un
broken thing kicked, which he did not,
having learned the futility of objecting
to the boy's wishes. A half hour from
the time Fred first thought of a bleigh
ride he was having it. He overtakes
two girls whom he knows, brings the
pony to a stop with much difficulty, gets
out, helps the girls in the sleigh will
not hold three, so he takes the reins
and runs along by the excited ponyf
thouting and ecstatically happy as long
as the sun will let his (Fred's) snow
alone.

Mr. John Randolph's review of "The
Erlkoenig" i n this week's issue of The
Courier is music and poetry in delect
able, intelligent prose.. To jead it
makes one unable to be patient till he
can hear Mr. Movius sing " I'ho Erl
koenig.' The ladies of the Lincoln club had
complete and untettered control of the
leap year-valentine party given lhure
day night at the Lincoln. All of the
Lincoln club parties have bean brilliant
affaire, on a much more elaborate scale
than anything hitherto attempted by
dancing clubs in this city. But in bauty
and novelty this leap year party ex
ceeded any that preceded. The com
mittee, Mesdames Burnham, Lambert
son, Gere Oakley, Hargreaves, Buck
staff,. Wright, Green, Rodger 8 and
Funke, was most efficient, and to these
ladies is due the credit for a ball that
is notable in a season of more than
usual activity. The decorations were in
red and white, and the effect was par
ticularly striking. The dancing ball
was hung with streamers, and the globes
on the chandeliers were covered with
red shades. Around the sides of the
room were appropriate mottoes, and
hanging in the doorway was the legend:
"Forget and Forgive." The ladies
brought the gentlemen, and the latter
waited humbly while the former en
gaged the dances. As each dance was
taken a heart shaped card bearing the
lady's name and the number of the
dance was presented to the gentleman.
In the dining room coffee and sand
wishes, heart-shaped, were served. Miss
Willoughby's orchestra addtd to the
success of the dance. There were over
a hundred people present, including a
numhei frotr out of the city.
Miss Cather, wbo is doing literary
work at her homo in Red Cloud, was
tbe guest of Mrs. Hudson Imhoff for

Mr. Frank Hall, in the exhilaration'en
suing from the receipt of a very large
fee for services in the Fitzgerald-Mai-lory
cpse, hied himself, with Mrs. Hall,
to St. Augustine, Fla. Last evening,
commencing at 5 o'clock, the university
people give a collation at the Lincoln
hotel. Numerous toasts were given.
Later in tbe evening Chancellor and
MacLean gave a reception, and there
was an electrical exhibition at the uni
versity. The festivities will close this
evening with a reception by the federa
tion of Women's clubs. Mr. Martin, of
New York, who lectured at the Funke
opera house Thursday night, has been
looked after by Prof. R. B. Owens, an
old time friend. Mrs. F. W. Brown is
entertaining her sister. Miss Bennett,

who was visiting Mr. and Mrs. George

from Clarksburg, W. Va., Tuesday. Mr.
Freeman's mother is in ill-heUtb. Miss

Mount, of Omtha, this evening. Misa
Mae Burr gave a party small and not
especially premeditated on Tuesday
evening. Mrs. R. J. Greene gave a Ken
sington yesterday afternoon. About
twenty ladies were present. Mrs. Mohr
enstecher gave a valentine party in
honor of her brother, Mr. Kespohl, Fri
day evening.
The program of the Woman s club
last Monday was one of the best yet
given. Tho recital hall of the conser
vatory was well filled by 2:30 o'clock for
the half hour drill in voice culture by
Mr. Williams and by 3 o'clock all the
chairs were taken dorn Bt airs and the
overflow went into the gallery. The
membership has run over three hundred,
as last year, notwithstanding fifty old
members have dropped out by removal
from town. The ladies are enthusiastic
over their sweet-toned Weber grand
piano and its accompaniments, as music
is always one of the necessary features
of these meetings. Tbe violin solo by

"Miss Hoover and Mr. Hadley were
charming introductions to the program
and though most of the ladies had been
sitting for two and a half hours all glad
ly waited for the two songs at the close
by Mr. Movius whom they delight to
hear. The department of current
events, Mrs. A. J. Sawyer leader, gave
the program as announced and sus
tained interest throughout Each of
the six speakers spoke without notes,
illustrated her topic with a map of her
own making, kept within her seven
minutes and was distinctly heard in
every part of the hall. This last state
ment is worthy of notice from the fact
that the complaint has been made that
fine papers are often not heard. This
club has resolved that this Bhall not be
true of it in the future and hereafter
the lady who would fail to make herself
heard would probably not appear again
until she had paid attention enough to
voice culture to satisfy her department
leader as to that requirement. The
topics treated were Cuba, Madagascar,
Transvaal, Armenia, Venezuela. Mrs.
Sawyer notified the audience that this
was only a glimpse of the department
work.
