Rrgret it as some of the old-timers msy, the society of Lincoln is passing out of their hands into university cir cles. A careful judgment shows that during the past few jcars the largest, choicest and what might be termed the Bvrellest society events have, been given by the university students. One hears lit'le of the parties of the Patriarchs the Cotillion club and the Pleasant Hours. It is now the Pershing RiHes hop, the Juniors and Seniors prome nades, tne Pan Hellenic ball.or the vari ous fraternity parties that fill the tosiety columns of the papers. Not only thii, but it is the university students who turn out at the football games with the tally-bo's and ken6ington parties. Thoj are the ones who form the thaatre par ties of the prrssnt season. In a word, they are making all the social life of the citv. And nothing proves it so much as the dreaiiness of the town when the stu dents are out of it' There are several reaions for this. First, the university hai grown into ono of the strongeEt and largest institutioni; in the country and is drawing to itself the sons and daughters o! the beat fam ilies in Nebraska. Lincoln families are no longer sending their children east for an education, and thus the best homes in the city are thrown open to the uni versity young people. And thus the new element is pushing out the old. The old society leaders are gone away or married cr have had their day, and now aro chaperoning the parties cf those who were children yesterday.

The oung fellow was an "awkward" in the university battalion. That is, he was new, and young and green, and con sequent'y the delight of the cadet offi cers. But that pleasant, laughing face of hi?, however desirable in other walks of life, was not an advantage to possess in the military department, This was the way it happened: He was standing in the line of new recruits when a corporal came along. "Stop that Emiling in lanks!" but tho young fellow's cheeks still rolled back aod his leath showed white. A leargeant stopped and caught sight of him. "Close that face, you donkey! Vip9 that smile off your jowl! What'd you me3n by disobeying a superior olllcer?" But the lip3 turned outward, the jaws hung loose, the eyes learned. The cap tain of the company and ths command ant of the cadets walked up. No laughicg in ranks, No.,1!'' said the captain. Still no change of expres sion froai thi man pointed at. "Rfpjrt that joung gentleman for disobeying commands and smiling in ranks!" called out the commandant Bternly. "Why don't you clcse your mouth?" "I I I can't." said the cadet, trem blingly, and even in his fright that smil ing, playful, child like expression hov ercd about his mouth, rolled over his cheeks and face and only ended at the roots of his hair with a feeblo twitching movement cf the sars.
