cert Mr, and Mrs. Henry Eames enter
tained a few friend" in honor of Mr.
George Hamlin of Chicago. An at
tractive lunch was served- Mr Hamlin
despite the fatigue of hia recent perfor
mance, sang superb'y a cycle of songs
by TscbaJkowfky. Mr. Eames waa
heard to great advantage in compoei
tiona of the neo Russian school in which
the grave and tragic emotion requires
a player of forceful as well aa eubtle in
terpratation. Mr. Eamea magnificent
technical equipment waa displayed to a
much better advantage than at the re
cent recital in which he waa handi
capped by unfavorable conditions.
Word has been received in Lincoln
from New York to the effect that Mrs.
C S. Lippincott, formerly of this city, m

concert singer. She sang recently at
the Profeeaional club concert and waa
rec-ired with enthusiasm. Afterwarda
she was requeated to aing at the Wal

foM to sing, The many friends of Mrs.
Lippincott in this city will be
rejoiced to hear of herauccesain the
metropolis where the standard is so

ucceseful achievement
The following interesting item is
taken from Harper's Bazar: Have any
of the young women of the
present day heard of a "smoked glass
party!" Invitations were sent out for
on3 a short time ago. and the men
were asking the girls and the girls were
asking the men what on earth it meant
It came off the other night, and thia is
what it was. When the young people,
about twentyfive in all, were'received by
the hostess they were seated at tables,
aa at a progressive euchre party, about
the drawing room. In the centre of
each table they saw a small oil lamp
with no chimney, a box of matches, a
pile of Japanese mpkins and a pile of
squares of ordinary window glasa about
the s'ze of a photograph frame.
No one could imagine what he or she
was expected to do, but was soon in
formed. The girl who gave the party
stood at the head of the room with a
small clock in her handa and said:
"Now each one of you is to draw a pic
ture of some kind on the glass plates,
and you are given just five minutes to
do it in. First you light the lamps,
then in turn each smokes a glass, and
when I set off the alarm in this little
clock you are to commence. Draw the
pictures landscapes, animals, portraits
anythi"g you wish with your fingers,
and when the alarm stops ringicg you
must stop drawing. The one who turns
out the beet picture gets a prize. There
are first, second and booby prizes. The
napkins are to wipe your fingers on.
When yon have finished wipe off the
glass and we will begin all over again.
One, two, -three ready!" and off went
the alarm. Amid shouts of laughter
the men and girla set to work with a
will, aod some of the attempts at artis
tic drawing were ludicrous in the ex
treme. Some of the pictures were cari
catures, very funny, and well done,
and the girl who gave the smoked glass
party was surprised to find that her ori
ginal idea bad been the means of bring
ing out what she called ''so much latent
talent."
George Bartlett entertained a small
party informally Wednesday night for
Mies Ethel Harmon of Tecumsih who
is in the city visiting her brother Ar
thur- The evening waa spent in play
ing progressive smut. This game ia one
atcardain which the unlucky players
are treated to a blotch of smut on the
cheek for their unsuccessful attempts.
The unlucky players with their ssveral
blotches made admirable caricatures at
the close of the game, A dance for a
momenta duration added to the pleas
ure of the evening and delightful re
freshments were rerved.
