ELEANOR'S LETTER J ED.A.uiicHita.-

My Dear 8: Your motherly letter re
previag me for what you are pleased to
call ay "wildae" has amused.me Tery
suck. Do you kaow that you are very
fuaaywhea you are serious? The idea
of S'a veaturiag to teach' decorum! It
ia eaoaghto malie eae choke. You re
fer to tkat cocktail tkat I was fooliak
eaeugh to tell you about, and intimate
that ia doiag,experimefltally,what moat
people do, habitually. I committed a car
diaal aia. Siace when, my dear 8, have
you grown ao etrait laced?
But seriously, I think it ia shocking
the way people are getting to drink io
aoclety, aad tho the cocktail had to me
aa eatirely unobjectionable taste, I do
sot meaa to get in the babit of drink
ing. I intend to continue to draw the
liae at the decorous aherbet. So you
caa put your miad at net ao far aa I am
concerned, and dismiss any visions you
may have had of Eleanor gettiag gay.

Thia week there ia a little business for
daactag feet the Patriarchs Wednesday
sight aad the Lincoln club tonight. I
understand these dances close the regu
lar season for both clubs.
Saturday Miss Carson went to Oes
Meiaes where she is the guest of Miss
Quick, a charming young lady who has
visited in Lincoln a couple of times.
Miss Carsea iateads to return soon and
briag Miss Quick with her. They may
hare reached 'Lincoln by this. Miss
Rase Caraoa is ia Omha staying with
theSheanws.
Some of the Pleaa&ai Hour youag
meawereta favor of having another
party even it they had to impose an as
eessmeat So they called a meeting for
last Saturday. But nobody, or scarcely
aaybedy, came, aad I understand the
idea ia about givea up.
Miss Agaeas Bewell returned last
week from Columbus, Ohio, where she
has beea visiting Captain and Mrs. Dud
ley. By the aumber of brass buttons
miaiature swords, and pins that re
turned with her I think Columbus must
be a sociable place.
Missei Jennie Underwood and Ura
Kalley visited in Columbus at the same
time.
Miss Kelley has gone to New York
with her father to hear grand opera.
The Pershing Rifles are arranging a
party at The Liacoia.
Mrs. C. S. Lippincott and Miss
Julia Lippincott were in Norfolk this
week. Mrs. Lippincott took part In a
coacert given by Omaha musicians. She
has beea ia excellent voice this winter,
aad has assisted in a great many con
certs here. Mrs. Lippincott on her last
visit in Ciacianati was under the in
etraetiea of the best vocal teachers of
that musical city, and always one of the
most delightful singers, she is bow
greatly improved. Her waging at the
'charity coacert and at the music ser
vices is the Uaiversaliet church was
much enjoyed. The early part of
the season Mrs. Lippincott suffered
from aa injury of the ankle. And not
loag ago she had a narrow escape from
buraiag aome kind of an accident in
her heme.

them who cornea to aee meaays almost"
everybody is signing. He says most of
the state oAeers did not sign. Jack says
the average state oflcer spends two-'
thirds of his time thinking what the
graagers think about him, and that they
are afraid to endorse this movement for
fear their graager constituents might
think they were getting too "flossy" v
that's Jact's word. lam sure I would
do as I pleased. If I believed it was a
good thing7 to allow the students to"
dance in the armory I would say so. I'
wouldn't be a clam just because I hap-
pened to be a state officer. Jack says I
will sever be either a clam or a state
officer. He says it would be better if I
did emulate the clam in some respects.
There have been dances in the armory,
and I can't see, for the life of me, why
they should not be held there. The
university authorities might order out
all the wives of the faculty and arrange
a circle of chaperons around the dancers.
WiBg Allen of Omaha was a visitor in
.Liacoia on Thursday of this week. I
J saw Osear Funke here also this week.
Miss Sherwood has returned from her
visit to Omaha and is again the guest of

Jack says the banquet at the Lincoln
given by Brigadier General Bilk to the
officers of the Nebraska National guard
on Wednesday evening at the Lindel
hotel was the jolliest spread he ever at
tended. Captain Guilfoyle was an ideal
toastmaster. He started the guests to
singing every once in a while. Every
one was in such a good humor from the
glorious sew commander to the second
lieutenants.
The guards have had

Dr. and Mrs. Ladd came home from
Whitehall, III., a wee' or so ago. They
were at Dr. Ladd's home. The doctor's
father who was ill is reported to be much
better.
S. E. Moore has returned from New
ark, O., as has also Mrs. W. B. Ogden-
I can't tell you how surprised I was
to hear of two of Lincoln's society men
whom you know well being but of
course it will not do to say anything
about it. There has been a good deal
of curiosity about it. and most every
body has learned the particulars.
Dr. John White was master of cere
monies at the Patriarchs' dance. You
know the habit be has of. doing every
thing well. He was quitejrip to the
mark as master of ceremonies.
Tonight the Lincoln club will give an
Easter party at the Lincoln hotel. The
attendance will be limited to members,
and there will not be Jhat ciush that
marked some of the earlier parties the
one given New YearV eve for instance.
I.bear that a number of the women will
wear handsome new spring gowns, made
for this occasion. Jack left today on
his trip; but I am going to tho Lincoln
club dance anyway. He sometimes takes
other girls and I think I am entitled to
equal privilege. He demurred a little
when I told him. He wanted to know
if there would be screens, following the
example of the last leap j ear party given
by the eirls of the Pleasant Hour circle
I said, "certainly not.'" Then he seemed
relieved -as if screens had any attraction
for me. Thi dance for me at least
will probably be the last of the season,
and I wouldn't miss it for worlds. The
last party! Tomorrow I will add my
dance program to my boudoir collection,
no such ex- and in so doing dismiss all thought of
the ball rocm for months to come.
With my back to a past season of un
usual gayety in which men and women
have danced unceasingly, I will face the
era of -picnics and summeroutings. For
one I am sorry the robins have come.
There are so many nasty little bugs in
the summer, and then the beat is so
hot. And men are gallant and romantic
in the winter. In the summer they
adopt pic-nicky manners that are not
nearly so becoming. But "after the ball
is over' I will go in for the potato salads
and fried chickeu of summer unconven
tionally and make the most of it. Next
week I will buy a sew hammock and

They say that Mr. Gerwig came back ograph.

memories connected with the theory and
practice of society. He has large inter
ests in the present term of court.
The Fortnightly club will meet with
Mrs. L. C. Richards, corner 14th and R,
this afternoon.
The Tavary Opera company ought to
have played to a crowded house. Nether
sole cannot present Carmen with any
more diablerie, grace and fire than Mme
Theo. Dorre did. She met her match
in Max Eugene, the toreador. Jack
says if she had lived to try the same
tricks on him that she tortured Jose
with, the bull tighter would have retal
iated by beating her; then he would have
disposed her and she would have been
the suppliant. I told Jack it was all
very well for him to prophesy in cold
blood. If he had had Jose's Spanish
blood and heard that Toreador cong
while his Carmencita taunted him and
showed her love for the six-foot bull
fighter he would have acted as Jose did.
It is very often the fact of a rival's su
perior strength and size that decides a
lover to kill the girl. Not because he is
afraid to die because most always he
kills himself but he does not wish that
man to kill him and live in happiness
with his sweet heart. But Jack says I
do not understand about these matters
