Mr. Morrison and Miss Lucy Griffith,
Mr. Baldwin and Mus Latta, and Mr.
and Mrs. Lew Marshall. Somebody in
quired whether the dinner was for the
purpose of making an announcement of
the engagement of some of the couples
present, and there was a lot of talk of
this sort, to the embarrassment of Mr.
and Miss and Mr.
My dear S: Jack came back the other
day, and, somehow, he is more of a swell
than ever. He says contact with the
outside world rubs off the rust and he
had, so he says, a good deal to be rubbed
off. It had been almost two years since
he has been farther away than Omaha
or Beatrice, and as I remember now he
had a somewhat wilted appearance. Now
he is spick and span, and with no end
of new things and stjles. Jack has had
a habit of devoting himself to the girls
that hare visited here, and there are
girls iii as many as twenty different
places that he has had an "affair" of
varying intensity with. While he was
away he saw a number of these girls,
and while he doesn't have much to say
on the subject, I am pretty sure he had
a good time. There's one thing about
Jack, he always does have .1 good time,
and I'm sorry to say that he seems to
have just as good time with any other
girl as with roe. Jack says he
is impressed with one fact since his re
turn. Society here is in a demoralized
condition He says there is nobody to
lead it, and it goes straggling around in
a desultory manner like a Mock of sheep
without a shepherd. There is nobody
to 6et the pace, and so society is aim
less and slow. He may be right, but I
can't see that it makes much difference.
What is the use of having a leader if
nobody can follow. If we had. a leader
I am sure he would take us to ditches
that we couldn't leap, and he would
be on one side while we would be on the
other. As it is now we don't stray very
far, or attempt anything we can't do.
Just now we, and I mean the younger
crowd, are having a pretty good time
in a quiet, unambitious way. Friday
we were entertained by Ernest Hough
ton, and on Sunday a favored few en
joyed a dinner at the Lindell, the guests
of Joe Mallalieu and Mr. Clough. Mon
day night we were at Miss Grace Oak
ley's, and tonight we have a card party
at Miss Slaughter's. And by the way,
some of his brother broilers are having
considerable fun at Ernie Houghton's
expense. It seems that he was calling
the other night on a young lady who
lives some distance from the centre of
the city. He was having a very pleas
ant time and wasn't particularly mind
ful of the time. It got pretty late before
he knew it, and then it began to rain
fearfully, tie simply couldn't go out
in it, and he didn't. Papa invited him
to stay all night, and he stayed. Now
when he calls the girls ask him if he
intends to stay to breakfast.
But to return to the parties. Really
that dinner party Sunday was a tine
affair. The table was set in the large
dining room of the Lindell hotel, and
was beautifully decorated flowers on
the tabla and girls amund it. Mr. Clough
sat at one end and Mr. Mallalieu at
the other. Each girl had an immense
American Beauty rose. Around the

especially. After the
dinner was over the party sought the
parlor upstairs, and as they walked down
the hall somebody played a wedding
march. It was all very funny. The
dinner was a great success. The next
night, Monday, at Miss Oakley's, we had
a jolly time listenirg to the phonograph,
telling stories and singing. On this oc
casion the guests were: Mr. Houghton,
Mr. Mallalieu, Mr. Fred White, Mr.
Harry Reese, Mr. Baldwin, Mr. Lansing,
Mr. Dixon, Mr. Clough, Mr. C.Y.Sraith,
Mr. Hurlbut, Miss Slaughter, Miss Mae
Moore, Miss Hollowbush, Miss Griffith,
Miss Latta, Miss Rinehart, Miss Burr,
and Mr. and Mrs. Lew Marshall.
Tonight besides the party at Slaugh
ter's there is a fraternity reception at
Dr. and Mrs. C. F. Ladd s Mr. and
Mrs. Robinson have returned from
Chicago, and this week Mrs. Beman
Dawes left for Marietta, O., intending
to be gone a part of tho summer. Miss
Maud Oakley has been visiting in
Omaha I think she is still there, the
guest of Miss Margaret Cook. Mr. Rob
inson, of Chicago, was at the Wright's
for a few days. Mrs. C. 0. Burr was ex
pected back from Colorado this week.
Frank has been living alone, keeping
veritable bachelor quarters. He can
cook "fit to kill" as the saying is, and he
has probably had griddle cakes three
times a day. Last week Dr. Madden
packed up and left the city. He will
probably not return. Dr. Madden was
a quiet man, but he was a mighty nice
fellow, and it's too bad he has gone. I
think he is going to do hospital work
somewhere in the east.
Gossip that I hear is to the effect that
the engagement of Elmer Merrill and
Miss Fannie Rector is announced, also
that Miss Adele Simons is soon to wed a
gentleman living in New York. Mrs.D.
E. Thompson expects soon to visit St.
Louis and Cairo, the latter place being
ber former home. Miss Ethel Hooper
has planned to spend the summer in
Fairbault, Minn., the guest of
Miss Seba Case, who is pleasantly re
membered as a Lincoln visitor. The
girls have a new scheme. Jack says it
is the cleverest thing we have ever
thought of. He insists that we are work
ing in the interest of some florist. He
says there is one objection to it every
man who contributes will promptly be
indisposed and notify the girls to call

pith Hewers. The plan is to have the
girls and their friends among the men
pay ten cents a month into a flower mis
sion fund, to the end that flowers may
be sent to friends who are ill, the patients
at the sanitarium, inmates of hospitals,
etc. All of the Pleasant Hour girls
have been asked to join the flower mis
sion club, and it is going to be the swell
thing to belong to it. Miss Nettie Sher
wood left Wednesday for her borne in
Connecticut. Miss Sherwood has spent
several weeks in Nebraska visiting
friends in Omaha and her sister, Mrs.G.
M. Lambertson, in this city.
One of the daily newspapers here did
an awfully mean thing the other day. Jt
printed a joke on a university professor.
Now jokes and university professors are
all right taken separately, but, so the
university professors say, they, should
never be combined. Their dignity must
be protected, you know. So many stu
dents to take up anything that looks
like "one on the professor." The story
was that the professor in question hap
pened to be in Omaha when a number of
society ladies there has charge of a soda
fountain for sweet charity's sake. The
professor didn't know anything about
this arrangement. He passed the drug
store and looking in saw at the fountain
mixing drinks a young lady who had not
many weeks before visited in Lincoln.
The young lady had taken him to a leap
year party, and he had taken her for
drives, etc The young lady was a guest
of Miss Mae Burr. It dawned on the
young man that he had not properly
gauged the young lady's social position
He surely had not thought that she was
a soda fountain girl. He went in and
spent his nickel, still unenlightened, so
the story runs. Now don't you think it
was too bad to print sue- a story as
that? Of course the paper did not give
the professor's name, but everybody at
once knew that it was the Man Who-Never-Wears-An-Overcoat.
Yours lovingly,
Eleanor.
