The secret of thU activity on the part of Richard ia that Mr. Miller, when before the jury in the Outcalt case atated facts and opinions not calculated to make the ex-cashier of the Capital National bank appear as a man pure and spotless. He is now getting even. The thought may occur to many people that Outcalt would do well to go about his business. Messrs. Miller aBd Barkeley have enjoyed the confidence of the business community and whatever may have been the mis takes in their management, the public is not prepared, at the instance of a man like Outcalt, to believe that there was any wrong doing. THE EDITOR. ttWPOiSWW 5 CO Nebraska's largest department stock We invite you all to visit our store to examine our beautiful line of 4 J ls Kr - ELEANOR'S LETTER NOTE The Courier hat atcared the Mi-vicea of a well Icnuwn society woman who will here after cover the aocial field in a weekly confi deatial letter. Her long: residence in Lincoln makes her pecially adapted for thU work, and it ia bettered that "Eleanor's Letter" will speedily become a Talnable feature of The CoBrier. Dear S The town, since you left it, ha actually shown signs of life, tho' this week- the beginning of Lent throws us once more into oar long accustomed "cattymose" condition. I do not know when I have had more- real enjoyment than at the Leap year party of the Lin coln club last week. You know there are certain men who always ask you to dance. There are others, you know, who never ask you. Well, it waB fun giving ice to the people who all winter long have been giving ico to you. I would notice a man standing disconso late, waiting for somebody to take pity on him, -and then, if he happened to be one of those who have been in the habit of passing me by, I would go up to him and dangle my collection of heart pro grams and aek him if he was having a good time- and sail away without giv ing him the high privilege of dancing with me. The women who had charge of tho dance did their rork well. Mrs. Hargreaves was particularly active on the floor, and she was a success in find ing "more couples" for the lanciers. By the way, did it ever occur to you as strange that there js not a dancing dub in Lincoln? Oh, yes, I know you you will mention the Patriarchs and the Lincoln club and the Pleasant Hour club, and really the last named doss come pretty near being a dancing club, but it is now composed almost exclus ively of young, unmarried people. What I mean is that the Patriarchs and the Lincoln club, which were really organ ized for the purpose of giving their members a suitable opportunity to oance, contain so many who haven't got dancing feet paople who may be bril liant conversationalists and important personages, and all that, but who have about as much facility in tripping over waxed floors as I have iu saying the multiplication table, and you know I couldn't tell bow much four times four is if my life depended on it. son's sister, Miss Sherwood, whom I wrote you was visiting here from Con necticut. Aire. Funke and Mrs. Burn ham assisted Mrs. Lambertson, Mrs. Burnham at the punch .bowl in the din ing room and Mr&Funke by seeing that the dining room was filled with con genial groups. From three to six the house was filled so of course I cannot tell you who was there. Mrs. Branch had begun to take a prominent part in Lincoln society before you left, had she not? I do not remember. She is a pretty woman, with especially nice manners. I see her nearly everywhere I go, so I conclude she ia a great favor ite. I hear you say to yourself "Oh, that Eleanor is so conceited." I no not say such things to everybody, my dear, but my weekly letters to you play diary to me. It will be great fun having them published in The Courier because no body knows who I am or who you are and I can keep a file of The Courier to refer to. Miss Sherwood bears a family resemblance to Mrs. Lambertson, tho' she is not so tali. The Lambertsons nave been enter taining a Mr. Walter Marvin, of Pitts burg. He is a Yale man. He left for home this week. I am going to the Pleasant Hour party tonight (Friday), and I am glad it is not a german or bal masque. The course of germans we have been having is wearing on one's nerves, ind a string of unrequited favors makes me fearful of meeting the favorers. The Pleasant Hour club has been doing things pretty well, notwithstanding Frank Zeh rung's game foot. Matt Baldwin is bearing the burden of responsibility with com plawarce. Really, the university influence has at last penetrated society. Things have reached such a state that you cannot step on a. man's foot out in society with out hearing a university professor groan, or drop a handkerchief without having a young professor pick it up. I believe you know all of them but Prof. McLeod. He is one of the latest addi tions to the faculty. He dances well, and is the pink of propriety. I see him everywhere. Imagine a man being strictly proper in Lincolr! Since Bobby Because a man happens to be a bank Richter no one has tried it. The new director or a "prominent citizen," what ever that is, and identified with society, it does not follow that he has nimble feet,and will shiue as a member of a dan cing club.Nearly everybody who attends the Pleasant Hour parties is a good dancer, tho' one or two are a bit dizzy when it comes to two-stepping; but there are lots of good people in the other clubs who are probably pillars of the church there is a tradition that church pillars cannot dance. Maybe some day there will be a dancing club organized that will contain only such person who can produce a well authen ticated terpsichorean certificate. Mrs. Lambertson gave a reception Tuesday afternoon. The house was crowded with people yon and I know, aad aoBM we do not know. The house, yea kaow. is hanusome and it was look, ng its beat that afternoon. Miss Wil Joaghby asd her musicians sat in the re ecas ia the hall, and the decorations wrepJau, roses aad carnations. The reception was given for Mrs. Lambert- profescor is a blond and good looking. Lieut. Townley must have abandoned the idea of giving a german I haven't heard any more about it. He is devot ing himself to whist. Last Monday he had a birthday and a whist party a horrid stag party. The men say Mrs. Townley served a delightful lunch. Ab near as I can remember the stags were: Will Hardy. Will Hammond, N C Ab bott, W C Wilson, Dr. Dayton, M I Aitken, J D MacFarland, a Mr. Maret ex-Governor Nance, J H Harley and Joseph Bartley. The score? I have forgotten the figures. They say, and 'they" means the men, that the Union club is having a boom. A lot of new members have been taken in since the first of the year. It's whist that's doing it. The Union club people are talking of a state whist league. Charley Dawes is in town. He is such a prominent man now that the Chicago Tribune and other papers de vote colamns to him. He has made a big advance ia more ways than one ifttESv WIESS SUiKS ranging in .price from jr 1. to 18, in all the latest styles iucluding THE 20TH CENTURY SKIRTS -Vl?- We'll tbank you to accept our invititation to call and examine.
