ELEANOR'S LETTER
rTTTnxn ? ? ? $
Henrietta Hollowbush gave a Cupid
party on last Saturday evening." Cu
pid hung: In the dining room his fa
vorite apartment the guests had
tiny bows and arrows and shot at
his heart. Grace Oakley pierced the
right ventricle and was rewarded by
the prize of a silver locket heart
shaped. Ernie Haughton cleft Cupid's
heart this was a painted one and re
ceived a silver heart also. Harry Lan
sing's arrow scarcely struck the side
of the room that Cupid was posed on
nd ahe drew abox of candied hearts
so Grace really took three prizes home.
Ernie Haughton has gone to visit his
mother. He will remain away for the
rest of the summer.
Last Friday night Mae Burr had a
gossip party. The gossip was Iced
and served in courses on the porch.
Have you noticed the letters signed
Gladys and Diana and Bridget that
have been appearing in one of the
Lincoln papers? The first one signed
"Gladys" was really funny, almost
as good as the letters I write you.
Blxby is the only one on the staff
versatile enough to accomplish an im
itation of another's style. All the rest,
except Mr. Gere, have imitation styles
of their own. This being so It is Im
possible to parody anyone else with
effect. Of course Joe Mason in awfully
swosr. but J nver happened u hear
Will Jones and Ernie Holmes are mas
ters of commonplace and either one
may have written the "Diana" letter.
Not that it matters, only "Imitation
is the slncerest flattery," and I would
know my admirers.
Mae Mount of Omaha Is visiting
Maud Oakley.
The new rector Is attracting youth
and age to the Episcopal church.
Among others last Sunday I noticed
that Guy Hurlbut was confirmed.

Mexican drawn work lunch cloth.
They were successful, as the result
of very hard work. Mrs Fred Bald
win drew the lucky number and has
the lunch cloth.
' Mr. and Mrs. Mark Tilton bad a
porch party on Monday evening.
John Dixon has gone to Nebraska
City, where an evening peace broods
o'er troubled spirits, where love and
money take off their spurs and life
leaves no wrinkles on spirit or brow.
John may like a cloistered calm after
what he went through here though.
Ethel Hooper has gone to Fairbault
to visit Seba Case.
Mrs. Dan Baum of Omaha, formerly
MIsa Van Sickle. Is visiting Mrs.

The Lincoln club has completed its
first year. The organization Is a re
markable one In many respeots. It
was placed on a particularly sound
financial basis at the time of organiza
tion, last summer. It has been man
aged without friction, and the dances
and receptions have been notable for
their brilliance. The outlook Is for a
most successful second season. The
club met Wednesday afternoon In the
office of Green & VanDuyn and elected
the following executive committee: G.
M. Lambertson, F. W. Brown, R. H.
Townley. Dr. C. F. Ladd. John B.
Wright, S. H. Burnham, R. H. Oakley,

oak cas ewith glass doors. From the
evidence obtained we find that some
part of this work Is placed In the
best private and public Ubrarle sin this
country an dabroad. for the reason
that they cover a field relative to the
past, present and future progress
and achievements of the human race
not attempted by athers. The plan
Is original, and the work throughout
Is carefully and ably written.
Current history contains 220 pages.
Is issued two months after the close
of each quarter, this length of time
being taken to reduce all Information
received to be an absolutely reliable
and authentic basis. If these are
kept on file, this magazine will prove
a permanent and Invaluable record of
all Important movements In political,
social religious, literary, educational
scientific and Industrial affairs.
The magazine will be indispenslble
to all people who have encyclopedias,
as It will be needed to keep these
works up to date. To those who do
not own encyclopedias It will be doubly
valuable as their source of information
Is more limited. About March of
each year the four volumes of current
history are bound Into one volume,
known as the Annual Cyclopedic Re
view. There are now four of these
bound volumes covering yearsl892-3-4
and 5. The work has for endorsers
and subscribers in this city and state
such people as Mr. Gere, edltor-lnchlef
