THE COURIER. 5 - CS-.: EC V' ri. & K ' K-v '- - '-' . I? - cool ride from University Place to Union College. A very charming, though informal, porch party was given in compliment to Mrs. Frank Sheldor. Monday evening by Mr and Mrs C L Burr, at the resi dence of Mr L C Burr.

R C Outcalt and D E Thomp son; Mr W 3 Hargreaves; Messrs and Mesdames A G Beeson, B J Green, Carl Funke and L W Marshall. It is very fortunate that poverty does not grind those who have always been poor as it does the once rich. There are very few poor in the west if they had not been once rich. Contrast is what hurts. Contrast sets the summer ex cursion chilnren lying and makes the people of the west groan though they hare enough to eat, shelter and cover them. A little philosophy would go further and do more good than titty cent dollars. Mr. and Mrs. J A Buckstaff enter tained very informally for Mrs. Sheldon with a pretty porch party. Just after a very dainty lunch had been served on the broad veranda the rain drove the guests into the house where the re. mainder of the evening was delightfully spent by the following people: Messrs. and Mesdames Chas. Lippincott, R G Beeson, R N Townley, W B Wilson and Mrs. Frank Sheldon, of New York city. Another of those uharraine picnics, was given by the married people last evening. This time they took their lunch to Worthington college The novelty of the place, together with a tempting lunch, greatly helped the evening's enjoyment. The party consisted of Messrs. and Mesdames C. E. Yates, I. M. Raymond, O. R. Oakley, C.F.Ladd,WT.D. Wilson, V. B. Wil son, J. B. Wright, D. A. Campbell, Mrs. Stebbios, Misses Maud Oakley, Ella Raymond and Olive Latta, Mr. Will Raymond and Rev.

Hag gard, The picnic given last Saturday night at Lincoln park suffered nothing from having been postponed from the previ ous Saturday on account of the rainy weather. Mo9t of the party, with their lunch baskets, took the car at Tenth and O streets for the park. After one of the most delicious lunches, a few songs and stories, a trolley party to University Place completed the even ing's pleasure.

Last Tuesday evening Miss Charlotte and Will Clarke entertained all the young people who returned Saturday from a two weeks' outiug on the Chau tauqua grounds. The beautiful lawn and the verandas were strewn with chairs, rugs and cushions well adapted for the groups who, in typical camp style, sat around reminiscinc all the jokes and incidents of the fortnight. Mr. and Mrs. Meissner, the ideal chap erones as they are called by the party, were the only married couple present. The invited guests were: Mr and Mrs. Meissner, Misses Ena Rickotts.

Clarke. Thursday morninetheyoung ladies of the "Flower Mission" met at Miss Maud Oakley's for the flowers which they were to distribute and which had been sent in by some of the thoughtful ladies in the city who have more flowers than they want for their own use. A partial list of those who have contributed flowers, fruits, jellies and other delica cies suitable for the sick are Mesdames I. M. Raymond, Hudson Itnhoff, C. O. Whedon, Lindley. R H Oakley and Miss Lulu Clark. Mrs. C L. Burr and Mrs. J. A . Buckstaff contribute bread every week. Frey 4 Frey, C H. Frey and Mr. Chapin have given large donations of flowers. The officers of this year: President, Mrs. L. M. Marshall; secre tary. Miss Mae Moore; treasurer, Miss Lucy Griffith; librarian, Olive Latta; assistant librarian, Henrietta Hollow bush; flower collector, Maud Oaklej. The committee to solicit delicacies: Grace Oakley, Helen Nance, Bertie Clark and Mrs. W. D. Robinson. Mrs. Ode Rector takes charge of the articles which necessity may demand. Only last week, two young ladies who were making their call, arrived just as the little casket was being closed. Although too late to gladden the eyes of the sick baby with the white roses, they were at least a comfort to the sorrowing friends when the dainty flowers were placed in his baby hands. The librarian and as sistant will collect and distribute all such literature as may have been do nated or purchased by the Mission. If the funds in the treasury are not some what increased. They will have little to do unless the good people of Lincoln will intimate a desire to have these ladies call for all their old discarded magazines and books. This winter, the Mission ladies expect to give a Flower Mission ball to raise money for a much needed nurse. If they enter into tho spirit of this affair as they have every Thursday in the work. The ball will undoubtedly be a success. If it were not for the Sanitarium, Crete and Milford, the Lincoln people who. unfortunately, did not lose their taste for coolness and pleasure when thoy lost their money, would be reduced to car-rides and rocking chairs for rec reation. A few, having won a bicycle in one of the many newspaper contests, are able to pedal up and down in view of the pasture where they uod to keep a cow and a horse "befoh de wah" and the famine which followed it. Many ivho are reduced to tamd rocking chars on porches that droop with thoir weisht as well as from the rotting foundations that beggary cannot repair, are still under the impression that they are staying at home because this is a cool summer and they want to. It is much more difficult to recover entirely from opulent habits of thought and speech than it is to practice economy in dress and the appetite. A few duns will cure the habit of getting things charged, for which the buyer cannot piy. But the collector does not come around the first of August for tho price o' airs assumed in July. Altho' the re flex action of the airs was more satisfac tory than dry gooas. mountain climbing or sea breezes. The managers of the "fresh air fund" have to caution the country hosts who receive the city waifs for a week's visit, not to mird the talk of the children who try to turn the edge of the patronizing the country folks are inclined to show them, by boasting of the fine stone house they live in, in the city, the horses and carriages their fathers keep, etc. The managers of the fresh air excursions have received so many complaints from the unsuspecting country people who say they will not entertain the children of rich parents for nothing, that they have had letters printed vouching for the bitter poverty of all the children sent out by them acd advising the hosts to pay no attention to references to grandeur at home which child guests may make.

AfralU to W-ir Thlr JweU A curious fact concerning the festiv ities over. the coronation of the czar is the enormous impetus given to the manufacture of paste gems. Russians, It appears, even of rank and status, are prone to the weakness known as kleptomania, and wise women prepared for possible loss by substituting sham Jewels for real. A pageant and display such as has been described must In evitably call for the wearing of such gems as are seldom seen. It is rather amusing to learn that much of the splendor Is pretense and that, too, be cause the grand dames do not dare trust their treasures in a crush, even though the crowd be composed of their own kind. Among the Muscovites, how ever, the sin is said to be held a trifling one, and the story is told that one lady of high rank was caught appropriating her cousin's emeralds, and that the vic tim declined to prosecute, merely say ing: "Poor Sophie! It is a very pain ul and nervous disorder." New York Journal. A Speaking Gown. A well-known club woman the Jther day went to her dressmaker to order a gown. The woman asked at once: "Shall you wear It to the club meet ings?" The reply was in the affirma tive. "And to make speeches in?" was the next question. Again she said yes. "Then I must have it trimmed accordingly," said the dress maker. "It will be eyed closely and for long periods of time at once by women at leisure to observe. Such a gown must be absolutely perfect" NOTICE. F. W. Marotz, Mary P. Marotz, Sallie E. Hyatt, Hyatt, whoso first name in unknown, husband ot Sallio R. Hyatt, Thomas W. Passmore. Lowis 0.
