ELEANOR'S LETTER
Dear Penelope: I think after this I
will write to you instead of to S. She
has been away from Lincoln so long she
is losing interest in Jack and in me.
me Eleanor! I know that you have a
fellow feeling for me because we are
in the same little boat and the waves
that hiss and sputter at you threaten
to drown me in oblivion also. I wonder
why The Excelsior does not like your
work. That paper Is so eagerly read
and pounced upon by Omaha people, the
remarks about the Courier's enterprise
could not have been prompted by Jeal
ousy. Mr. Chase's paper is edited with
so much ability, vivacity and intelli
gence that it has made an enviable rep
utation for him among Omaha news
paper man. They refer to him in such
reverent terms and to think he is so
young, too. It only shows what a uni
versity education can do when pasted
on to native acumen.
Mr. Robert Patrick accompanied his
mother, Mrs. Patrick; to Lincoln on
Monday. They were guests of Mr. and
Mrs. G. M. Lambertson. On Saturday
evening Miss Grace Oakley entertained
a small party whose nucleus was a
chafing dish. The guests were Misses
Maude Oakley, Marie Marshall, Mame
Carson. Mr. and Mrs. Dorgan, Bobby
Joyce, C. P. A. Clough, and Harry Lan
sing. Tou know John Dorgan has ta
ken the management of Burlington
Beach. I think he will be as great a
success as an amusement caterer as
Frank Zehrung. Both of these men
were epicures on their own account be
fore they began to provide amusement,
for other people- Anyway, Mr. Dor
gan's friends are looking forward to
some good times at the Beach.
I saw very few young people at
Rhea on Wednesday night. I do not
believe you know any of them except
Hallie Hooper and May "Whiting. The
boxes were occupied by strangers ex
cept two, one of which contained Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Hall, and the other
Mrs. Funke and her two young sons.
Fritz Westermann Is wearing at
present a diminutive, but eventually
foreign looking goatee. He still affects
the red carnation. If he continues to
wear a red carnation for ten years
more I am sure people will begin to
know who he 1b.
The senior promenade tonight at the
capital Is the event of the year in uni
versity circles. I will tell you about it
next week.
Last Friday the Farwell party at the
Lansing was a real success. Every
body was in the mood, you know. Flo
rence Farwell led the grand march with
Captain Gullfoyle. She looked sweet In
a fetching blue silk Grace Oakley's
gown was yellow mull, trimmed pro
fusely with red roses. Helen Nance's
pink dimity, trimmed with ribbon and
lace; Marie Marshall in a severely sim
ple gown of white silk. Miss Fechet in
a white organdie. The hall was
trimmed with flags and set with divans.
Everybody was talking about the mu
sic Miss "Willoughby was at her best,
the waltzes were new and the time was
perfect. The people nearly danced
their feet off. Mr. Duff from Nebraska
City was there and Harry Frank of
Omaha, whom the girls seem to like ex
tremely, they say he has polish. Burt
"Wheeler did not come. An Omaha girl
said last week that it was very difficult
for Burt to leave Omaha,
Mrs. Charlie Burr entertained the
Ladles' Afternoon "Whist club on Wed
nesday afternoon. In the evening she
had an informal card party.
Mrs. D. E. Thompson has two
guests. On Thursday evening Mrs.
L. C. Burr gave a dinner of. which Mr.
and Mrs. Thompson and guests were
members. Mrs. Thompson expects to
welcome Miss Ruth Hudson of Cairo,
1U., this (Friday) afternoon. This
same young lady was expected some
months ago, at which time I heard
Mrs. Thompson say that Miss Hud
son was one of the most charming
girls she ever knew. Mrs. Thompson
cannot be accused of gushing and
when I heard her say that I decided
that Miss Hudson must be remarkable.
Mrs. John Dorgan expects a young
lady from Denveh to visit her soon.
Lincoln is said to be the Mecca of
girls with the visiting habit. They
are dined, driven and surfeited with
all forms of amusements. But the
young men In their hospitable efforts
never neglects the home girls. In
some places the young men lose their
heads if a new girl arrives.
The flower mission girls keep up
their regular visitations. Last Thurs
day some of them called at a house in
the bottoms where they found an old
man, who was somewhat deaf. They
told him they had brought him some
flowers. "Flour!" he said, "I am so
glad; now I can make some bread."
The girls were quite affected and
they decided to buy him a box of
strawberries.
Fred White is recovering rapidly
from his sickness. His room is full of
flowers all the time. He says they
keep him cheerful.
There is talk of a subscription Ger
man to "be given by the young married
people next week.
Mrs. Henry Branch is visiting her
sister-in-law, Mrs. Charles Branch.
Tou remember the former removed to
Kansas City.
Ray Welch and George Palmer are
planning a trip abroad. They expect
to leave the middle of July. George
Palmer was In Lincoln last week.
The members of the piscopal church
Ewill give a reception to the rector.
Rev. H. Percy Silver, in the chapel of
the church on Tuesday evening. Mr.
Rudge, Mr. Van Duyn and Mr. Horn
are members of the committee of invi
tation and arrangement.
The rain has postponed a number of
picnics the last two weeks, meantime
the violets, which suggests the picnics,
have disappeared without a formal
farewell.
The plunge at the sanitarium is
filled with ladies everyevenlng. House
cleaning is finished by most of the
forehanded women who have not been
delayed by sickness or other accidents.
And Mrs. Abel's classes are growing
every day. She claims to teach a
stroke that tires the swimmers no
more than walking does. Her pupils
who have acquired it seem to go
through the water with a wiggle and
a flirt, nor to mind much whether the
head is out of the water or under It.
Miss Elliott continues to be the best
swimmer. Mrs. Sawyer has lately be
gun to take lessons. Last Saturday
Miss Anne Burr gave a sanitarium
party at the university girls' gym.
After a dip and a curl they were
served with tea In the reception room
by Miss Barr. assisted by Miss Spurck
and Miss Elliott.
Guy Hurlbut took his fourteen pair
of creased trousers to Beatrice last
week, returning Monday or Tuesday.
It is reported that "our Guy" made a
very marked impression on the quiet
people of Beatrice. He is certainly a
good advertisement. Mr. Hurlbut in
forms his friends that he may change
his mind about going to Boston to see
"her," and spend the summer in Be
atrice Instead. What a commotion he
would cause down there, among the
Chautauqua beaux and belles!
Some time ago I mentioned the fact
that a popular young singer of the city
had gone into the undertaking busi
ness on the side. People have won
dered who he is and I hope I am not
violating confidence when I say that
the gentleman Is C. "W. Kettering. He
is a silent partner of the undertaking
firm of A. F. Oeder & Co., 120 South
Thirteenth street.
Jack says my letters are getting dul
ler than I am, and he points to you
with pride, Penelope. He always did
have a weakness for you, I think. Jack
says your letters remind him of Pepy's
diary, while mine reminds him of the
waste basketHe was always so delight
fully candid. I told him I hadn't been
crushed by Clementina, anyway, and he
said Clementina never crushed any
thing in his life except his opera hat.
I don't know, but I believe the people
here are more sensitive than they are
In Omaha; but I promised to study you
more closely and try to improve. Only
I will not use any French In my letters,
as you do. I have taken French at the
university for several years, but Jack
says a patriotic regard for the welfare
of that institution should prevent me
from making any French exhibits In
my letters.
The German that I spoke of Is to be
on Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Beeson are
getting It up. It will be held at the
Lincoln and the guests are to be mostly
married people.
Mrs. F. "W. Brown is entertaining
