S 9 Dear Penelope: I miss your letters very much and am sorry you concluded not to. write any more this summer. In a small way, Lincoln society is ac tive enough to receive comment. If it were not for the tonic effect that visitors have on Lincoln society would be deadly dull. Mrs. Dave Baum and Mrs. Ed Baum from Omaha. Mrs. Frank Sheldon of New York and Mrs. Thompson's guest , Miss Huston, imposed obligations on their hosts, which the latter do not attempt to shirk. Saturday night Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Burr and Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Leonard gave a large party for Mrs. Dave and Mrs. Ed. Baum at the beach. It was a large party and very enjoyable. I have said before and I am glad to be able to repeat it, that Burlington beach is the, only comfortable place for a summer party. The moon and the water and the boats are cheap as air, and no amount of upholstery and chandelier effects can make, up for their absence when the party Is given in a private house. Thursday there was a Jolly lot of people at Meadowbrook farm. They drove out late in the afternoon and the ladies took things to eat, and the lunch was served in genuine picnic fashion. I think it was the largest picnic that has yet been given at the farm.. There were so many people that when It came to gathering around the long tables in the dining room there was a veritable crush. A number of people drove out after supper. The party re- GrUBth returned this week from Val paraiso, where they spent a week on a farm. Miss Grace Oakley Is visiting Miss Harrison in Beatrice. Miss Fannie Latham is the guest of Mrs. Pitcher. Mrs. Leonard has as guests her aunt and mother. Miss Cora Hardy gave a Kensington on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Lam berUon, Mrs. Will Hardy, Mrs. Emory Hardy. Mrs. Ladd, Mrs. Pitcher, Mrs. Abbott, Mrs. Tilton. Misses Cox, Clark, Bertie Clark and Harris, were the guests. Mrs. Hardy leaves in a few days for the east, where she will spend mcst of her vacation. Yours lovingly, Friday, June 26th. KLKANOH. .LEMONADE IN PACKAGES. "You'd be surprised." said J. E. RIggs, the druggist, "at the demand for our lemon sugar. This hot weath er people will drink anything. They must dring something. They find our packages of lemon sugar most palat able and convenient, and there la a great demand for It. The fact that you can make the finest lemonade in the world in two seconds' time simply by putting in some water, and the ad ditional fact that the sugar is excel lent for custards, cakes, etc., make it so eagerly sought for. Then people like It because It's cheap." Empress Josephine toilet preparation face bleach, face tonic, hair tonic, etc. at Kleiakauf A Grimes', 117 North llts Toraitclxt, Saturday, turned at a little after 10 o'clock.

A. C. Johnson, Hurlbut, Houtz, Smith, Honeywell. Mallalleu. The party was given in Miss Rinehart's honor. Mr. Houtz and Miss Hooper were the, objects of considerable attention at the picnic, but I could not see that they have changed any since the an nouncemnt of their engagement. They always have been particularly modest. All of the young people are their friends, and they have been the recipi ent of sincere congratulations and good wishes. Professor Owens left Thursday morning for Chicago, where he will spend the summer vacation. I would be satisfied even with Chicago, but I am no nearer a summer trip now than I was last December. It is a good thing the fare to Burlington beach and Lincoln park Is only 5 cents. Miss Carson gave a card party this morning for her friends, Miss Quick and Mrs. Coffin.
