For Mrs. Learned, Mrs. Harry Lyman
gave a luncheon on Thursday, at which
the guests were Mrs. Learned, Mrs.
Low, Mrs. Guiou, Mrs. Cowgill, Miss
Mount and Miss Doane. The center of
the table was filled by a huge bowl of
yellow tulips and at one corner stood
another of jonquils, making veritable
patches of sunshine in the room. The
place cards were substituted by small
boxes surmounted by Huffy yellow
chicks in a tiny nest, the boxes being
tilled with salted nuts.
Mrs. Harry Lyman entertained Mr.
Francis Wilson, Miss Curtis and Miss
Carita Curtis at luncheon on Tuesday.
Mr. Wilson was also a visitor at the
Country club on Monday with Mrs.
Lyman. His autograph may be seen
written in the dust on the large hall
table. One of the admirable things
about the Country club nowadays is
that nothing is ever disturbed, from the
dust on the tables to the laziness of the
caddies. Speaking of Mr. Francis Wil
son, besides his work of "Bool-Boom,
Merchant of Malbar," be 6nds time to
be president of a Chatauqua club com
poped of members of his company who
are studying the Chatauqua course, and
afternoons when there is no matinee are
often given up to the meeting of the
club, which does some excellent worK,

Bear Penelope:
I do not feel the hiatus as much as
you do. You have been away seeing
new, interesting things and meeting
new, interesting people. I have staid
here in Lincoln with nothing more than
Jack's tastes to interest me. His taste
is not very pronounced in the matter of
color or style, but in the matter or eat
ing he knows what he wants and he can
not be hypnotized into believing that a
dish is good because I made it. That
only IaBted a month. Throe times a day,
at eight, at twelve and at six, I must
take an examination in household econ
omy, conducted by the most rigid of ex
aminers, a hungry husband, the son of a
most notable house-keeper who consid
ered everything folderol that did not
immediately minister to the needs of
her husband and sons, or rather her sons
and her husband; (words should come
in the order of their importance). With
these three examinations per day on my
mind you can see that more agreeable
persons and places have not crowded
from my mind Penblope and Omaha,
the former one of the most fascinating
persons and the latter the home of one
of the most fascinating persons that
ever came within the narrow circle of
my life. It is therefore natural for me
to "resume." You have almost forgot
ten that rural party in Lincoln, who
used to insistently write you once a
week and dream about you between
times. You are of the aspect, temper
ament and mind of the cosmopolitan
and I of the incurably suburban and
provincial. I am "possessed" with en
thusiasms, manifested by wrath, pity,
admiration, disgust, love or what not.
You are somewhat blazzy: yon have
read, traveled, thought and been ad
mired much more than th6 averago wo
man and things in Omaha bore you be
cause you measure them by the other,
more picturesque, richer places and peo
pie. Omaha seems to me a metropolis
rilled with important people who never
walk and who are particularly impres
sive to hayseeds who float into the city
from other parts of the state. I can not
understand why such a gay, opulent city
should bore a spinster with money in
her own right, a heavily gold-mounted
position and more invitations to func
tions than Lent and the keen eyes of
her rector will permit her to accept.
Try to learn provincialism of me, dear.
Get up a little inteiest in Omaha and
Lincoln. If you are an Omaha citizen
show a proper disgust for Lincoln and
everything out of your class and if you
are a citizen of Lincoln have some fam
ily pride and say nut loud that nothing
good can come out of Omaha Be patri
otic whero-ever you are. Keep your
eye on the gun and realize the truth
that it is necessary to love, and to hate,
in order to keep the circulation normal
and the liver active.
Lent and the carnival have made Lin
coln deadly dull. Nothing is going on
but a few dinners, quiet luncheons and
little parties that amuse people more
than the uninspiring, conventional re
porta in the society columns indicate.
Though what Lent has not subdued
and disciplined, the Grip is striving
with. The persistently gay people are a
trifle ghastly in their merriment. The
cheerfulness is like Josiah Allen's,
a little forced and wooden.
The Delta Gammas are getting ready
to entertain tho D. G. convention which
meets in Lincoln in May. The Nebras
ka university chapter will entertain tho
delegates at the hotel Among the
various arrangements for their enter
tainment a little drama will be put on,
and there will be luncheons, teas and all
manner of functions.

Nebraska all over would be a much
duller place. I am not a club woman,
as you know. Jack says he wishes 1
were. Club women, he says, answer up
so quick, keep a fellow on his mettle
and come very near getting ahead of the
dull ones. Jack thinks himself mettle
some, high-bred, extremely sensitive
and responsive to intellectual influences.
Isn't it funny. He's a dear. But he's
not at all the sort of a man he thinks he
is. I am doing just what before I was
married 1 said 1 nevor would do. And
that is, talk continually of my husband
to my unmarried friends, who have no
topic of equal ennui to introduce into
the conversation. Like all the rest of
the people, who, single, decide upon the
manners and morals of their child.en
and the height, color of the mustache,
and occupation of the husband, I am
falling into the tireless habit of wives.
I promise to fill my next letter with less
information concerning the individual
who is supposed to be the most inter
esting of all to me. Yours,
Eleasok.

When the shades of night are falling
on the old Nebraska town homeward
plod the tired fathers and to dinner sit
them down; some in cheerful family
circles dine in state on fowl and fish
others at the hotel tables dine on many
a dainty dish; others still to lunch room
counters hie themselves and order hash
if by any freak of fortune they aro Badly
short of cash. But they're tired. All
are tired. Lined with care each manly
brow; Mr. Thompson's "tired mothers"
ar not in it with them now; they're our
noble legislators come from over all the
state here to wrestle with tae problems
of Nebraska's future fate. And the
question which perplexes most their
minds from morn till night is why
Thompson ever entered in the senatorial
fight.
Men who hope to be elected should at
least be true and tried, men to whom
the word "disloyal" never yet has been
applied; noble men whose hearts are
honest, clever men with massive brains,
men whose workB repay the voters for
their sore election pains; these the men
who hold the welfare of our country in
their hands men whose deeds shall
6.ell the measuro of success throughout
our land. Now thiB man this Mr.
Thompson this pretecder to the throno
not one single point of fitness for elec
tion has he shown; not one point of
manly honor, loyalty to party creed has
he ever shown Nebraska in her day of
deepest need. Will thiB man be sent to
Washington a senate chair to till, by the
voters of Nebraska? Wbll we hardly
think he will!
The Annual Meeting of the German Bap
tist Brethren will be held in Lincoln, Ne
braska, from May Twenty Four to May
Thirty-One, Nineteen Hundred and One.
For this meeting a special rato of one
fare for the round trip will be made,
from Chicago, Peoria, St. Louis and all
stations on the Burlington Rquto. Tho
roads east of Chicago and St. Louis aro
al&o expected to make a very low rato
for the Brethren, and sell through tick
ets to Lincoln and return.
Tickets will be on sale May 23 to May
27, inclusive, and they will be limited
for return to June 1.
The charge, tharefore. for a round
trip ticket to Lincoln and return for tho
Brethren Meeting will be: From Chi
cago, 814.40; from Peoria, S12.00; from
St. Louis 812.55
Brethren who wish to stay longer in
Nebrapka, can have the limit on their
tickets extended by depositing them
with the railroad "joint agent" at Lin
coln who will issue a certificate of de
posit on or before June 3, and charge a
fee of fifty cents for it. Tickets will
then be good for return at any time
until June 30, 1901.
Many of the Brethren will probably
want to visit some of the numerous Ger
man Baptist settlements in Nebraska
before returning home. Any one who
presents a certificate of deposit to tho
Burlington Route agent at Lincoln will
be able to get a round-trip ticket to any
place on our line in Nebraska for half
fare. These tickets will be sold on May
28 to June 3, inclusive, and will be good
for return to Lincoln until June 25.
We publish a folder about the Ger
man Baptist Brethren in Nebraska. In
it is a very large sectional map of tho
state, with reference marks which in
dicate where the Brethren settlements
are located. It tells about the crops
and prospects, and contains letters from
resident Brethren, giving their experi
ences in Nebraska. A copy of this will
be sent without charge if you will ak
