ing. About eighteen couples will be

Then besides all the dusting, sweeping,
sending out invitations and decorating
one had to make all the cakes. Now
there are several ladie3 in Lincola .who
wWl make you a cake and such a cake
for a consideration. Mrs. Swan, Mrs.
Coatea and Mrs. Schwab are ready and
have the ability to make delicious cakes
for any over-burdened hostess. This

spired by gratitude extended to myself
in time of stress. Mrs. Schwab also
does exquisite embroidery. She was

Frank Zehrung seems to be getting

Mrs. Lahr, corner of Seventeenth and
L will give a reception this after

Meyer as a travelling man? I hear heis
a great success. Ho is in Lincoln this
week. I predict that the girls in every
town from Portland to St. Louis will
learn to wait for his coming. Be careful
not to write to anybody in Lincoln and
reveal the identity of yours lovingly

VANITY FAIR
There is buying and selling in Vanity
Fair,
Buying and selling of bargains rare
Here, for instance, is offered a heart;
Seamed and shrunken and scarred
and scant;
Battered beyond the age of art,
And heard at the core sb adamant.
Who ehall buy it and bear it, Io!
Sorrow and woe shall rare know.
Though ever they come in delusive
show,
For the heart is a coffer, and 'neath the
lid
Mask-ad miseries lurk and lie
"Who'll be the first to offer a bid?
Who'll buy? Who'll buy?
And the crowd, with eager, expectant
eyes,
Wistfully view the proffered prize!
And some of them cry, with an envious
air
"Fortune is kind to the buyer, for e'er
A heart that is calloused and world
wise Is a boon and comfort; and all should
be r
Some such a bauble in Vanity Fair!"
But who shall buy it. and bear it away,
Shall mourn for more than it can re
pay The hopes and illusions, fond and fair;
And youthful dreams, divinely rare,
Shall wane and wither less and leas,
Till all the world is weariness!
For ever, thereafter, it shall bring
With it a bountiful burgoening
Of blooms, delusive, that promise de
light, But only bear remorse and care;
And Woe shall go with him by day and
by night,
Even in Vanity Fair.
Mark Forrest.
ANNOUNCEMENTS.
The Merry World comes to the Lan
sing theatre Wednesday, March II, in
tact, with the same cast, scenic effects
and chorus that stamped it a popular
success in New York City, where it en
joyed an uninterrupted run of over four
months at the New York Casino. It is
a mirthful melang of theatrical success.
The first act introduces us to the fami
liar faces of Trilby ably burleseued by
such competent performers as Amelia
Summerville, David Warfield, Willard
Simms, Lee Harrison, Marie Laurens,
Teahnetto Bageard, assisted by a chorus
of fifty voices. The second act snows
us in burlesque form the dear old faces
of our well beloved favorites in comic
operas including the elongated comedian
Currie in his impersonation of "Wang,"
Simms in his inimitable make-up of the
'Devil's Deputy," Warfield as "Aban
asar." Kitty Laurens as the "Little
Trooper" and whoso resemblance to
Delia Fox has even caused the "Little
Queen" of comic opera to wonder at the
re production of herself. Marie Lau
rens, the Prima Donna of the organiza
tion renders some very difficult vocal
selections in a most artistic manner.
Lee Harrison as the proverbial landlord
while the dear familiar faces and har
monious voices of the merry, merry
chorus all bring to our memories the
familiar faces, the mirthful strains of
melody we have all taken so much pleas-

value to the consumer. We are t iking about
an American, metropolitan, daily paper of the
first class like THE CHICAGO RECORD. It's sa
cheap and so good you can t afford in this day
of progress to be without it There are other
papers possibly as good, but none better, and
none just like it It prints all the rea news of
;::; world -the news you care for -every dcy,
arid prints it in the shortest possible space. You
can read THE CHICAGO RECORD and do a day's
work too. It is an independent paper and gives
all political news free from the taint of party
bias. In a word -it's a complete, condensed,
dean, honest family newspaper, and it has the
argest morning circulation in Chicago or the
.vest 140,000 to 150,000 a day.
Pro. T. J. Hatfield of the Northwestern
University says: "THE CHICAGO RECORD
comes as near being the ideal daily Jour'
nal as we are for some time likely to find
on these mortal shores."
