Mrs. J. B. Wright is visiting in Chi
cago, and in hor honor, Mr. and Mrs.
Chas. O. Robinson gave a reception on
Wednesday night. The society column
of the Record contained the following
bit concerning the reception in its
Thursday issuo: "Mr. and Mrs. Charles
O. Robinson. 4400 Oakonwald avenue,
gave a reception and dance last night at
the Kenwood club, tho guests number
ing over 200. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson
were assisted in receiving by Mrs. John
B. Wright of Lincoln, Neb., who is thei"
guest. The reception was from 8:30 to
fl:30 o'clock. Dancing followed and
supper WBh served at midnight.' Mrs.
RobinBon is well known in Lincoln so
ciety by reason of the fact that she has
visited here several times, and her pres
ence in the city has always been a signal
for a greit many parties and receptions.
In last Sunday's St. Louis Republic,
there is an illustrated account of a
youth in a piaid golf suit, who wears
glasses, speaks with a rep llsive nasal
drawl and says "DonVior knaw.' The
features in tho illustration are those of
the university student named Lincoln
who victimized, or tried to, tailors, land
ladies aud everybody he came in contact
with. He said he wbb "bsastly tough"
and gave the impression of possessing
wealthy but irate parents who had tem
porarily Btopped a munificent allowance.
On which account be was forced to be
come a borrower. After bis tale of woe
bad been worked as much as it would
stand he disappeared leaving debts be.
hind him. The St. Louis story-writer's
tale is a sketch from real life and Lic
coln is the hero though he is called
Tweed in the story. You may know him
by the glaspy eye, the long chin, the
muffled catarrhal tones of his voice and
above all bis awful gall. He lands in
St. Louis in biB golf suit but without
any other indications of being an ex
pert player. Ho presented a letter of
introduction from a friend in Omaha to
u man in St. Louis who earns his living
by newspaper work. Tho man intro
duces Mr. Tweed to "the Old Man" who
gives him one look and Bays he is sorry
that he haB nothing for him. Then
Tweed BtrikeB the man to whom ho had
tho introduction for an introduction to
a hotel keeper and a tailor, ho goes with
him to biB meals and ilnally askB him for
(Wo dollars. Then the man shakes off
tho nightmare ia a golf suit and tho
story ends. The verisimilitude between
Lincoln and Tweed is bo exact that
there is little doubt of their identity.
Doutlees Lincoln 1b pretty tired of that
golf suit, and he would do any thing to
get another except go to work.
A recent gathering at the Stroller's
club of New York, was one of the most
enjoyable and unique occasions that
the Beason has yet known. It was re
maruable for bringing together a col
lection of very beautiful women; in fact,
thoro seemed to bo no ugly women on
the liBt of guests. Tho professional
women who wero present wero, if any
thing, more quietly and demurely gown
ed than thoir sisters of the "smart" set,
and all tho women guests wandered in
delightful froedom through tho hitherto
forbidden precincts of this small, two-'
sory Bohemia. Miss Maxine Elliott,
in a gorgeous purple gown, was a study
in rich, glowing color; Misa Mannering
looked prettier than her photographs;
Mrs. Belmont and Mrs. Oolricbs wero in
evidence, tho former, woaring one of tho
long tun coats that have gained Buch a
voguo of late. Among the men tho
most conspicuous figures wore Mr. Peter
Daily and Mr. James Powers, immacu
lately garbed aud wearing tho look of
abstracted thought that ia supposed to
mark tho born leader of cotillons.
Tailor gowns become tho most impor.
t nt costumos of my lady's wardrobe,
during the Lonten days, when a roading
or morning service Sb tho only public
function of the day. With the woman
who is absolutely correct in dress such
details as hats and gloves and veilB all
change their character and become
more demure in outline until the Easter
Day. One home function that flourishes
with new life during Lent is the lunch
eon usually a feminine affair and red
olent of Lentem spirit in the purple
caudle shade?, tho violet-etrewn cloth,
and china in delicate tints of tho same
color. At a woman's lunchoon there
can never be too many Mowers, too
many lace-frilled dishes or ribbon-tied
sandwiches, so that the Lenten lunch
eon table frequently looks like a bazaar
counter spread with embroidery and
fancy china. Fish dishes in their va
rious forms compose the menus of these
events, designed to while away the
dreary afternoons of those who spend
Lent in the city.
The members of the Kappa Alpha
Theta sorority occupied boxes Thurs
