It is an innocent sort head.gear for Easter.

I have rum. maged among the hostagee of long gone summers to see if I couldn't tog up something that would do for awhile, until Mama eaya I shall not open anoth er band box. I am really concerned over the subject. A woman never be comes so blase chat bargains and spring hats find no responsive chord. Don't let this darken your young life. You must keep up for Jack's sake. By the way, dear, I shuddered when I found you in a way apologizing for Jack. Honestly it set a bit heavily on my heart and induced me to breathe my pagan prayer: Ye Gods! Grant that the gilt upon Eleanor's gingerbread be the kind that stick.'' Yours lovingly, Penelope. LINCOLN LETTER. Lincoln, Nebr, March -"?, 1001. Dear Penelope: On the last day of the legislature the toga has been gracefully thrown over the shoulders of Governor Dietrich and your Mr. Millard. It was a great dis . appointment to Mr. Thompson who bad set his heart on the position but life is a discipline and he shows such a Chris tian fortitude in bearing his trouble that he is endearing all classes to him. Mr. Millard and Governor Dietrich will represent Nebraska creditably. Mr. Thompson's withdrawal'in "thBir""favor is said to have been induced by Senator Ilanria. But who knows? Mr. Thomp son's naturally, kindly, humble disposi tion, in duty preferring another's eleva tion to his own may have been the deciding iotluence. I am glad that I do not seem rustic to you, It may be that you do not rec ognize unaffected rusticity you are so used to the Old Homestead, stagy kind. In reality I am so green that the robins catch sight of me and come north soon er than they otherwise would and sprirg poets Btart the machinery when I move across their horizon. A young musician has been discover ed in Lincoln, a singer with c marvel ous voice that searches unsounded depths of emotion in the most hardened and unresponsive carcasses. is too happy in the role she plays, too un conscious that it is a role. Once there was a very nico young fellow at the seaside resort, where the other men were fishing and boating. This young man bad a habit of promenading in white flannels and carrying a white urn brella, wearing silk hose that matched his tie, and keeping himself unspotted and pure as a lily. Once a lot of the men camo in from a clamming trip, hot, sweaty and dirty. The lily was Just sauntering down to the wharf. Fre9h from a bath be was a beautiful but ex asperating object. The ten men made a rush at him and threw him into the ocean. Without saying a word, they rushed at him as one man, and he crawled from the water and went back into the hotel realizing the common human impulse that had destroyed his lovely afternoon effect. The lady I am talking about is not likely to be tipped into the water, but her superiority fre quently awakens the homicidal impulse in an audience which she supposes is assembled for the pleasures of apprecia tion. An ornament to society to be truly effective and conform with the canons of art must be unconscious of its own beauty and fascination. That's why Penelope, I like you so murb; you are not set up by either your brains or your position. nen the weather moderates I hope you may decide to make me the long-promised visit. You say you like the country, rural sights, sounds aad odors. Then come to Lincoln. Yours, Eleanor. 1 EASTER SUNDAY, APRIL 7.

It is the genuine, original United States Marine band that is to be heard here in concert next Wednesday through tbo kindness of the President in grant ing the permission in response to num erous requests. When it plays the na tional airs how the people cheer and applaud. The people will stand when the "Star Spangled Banner" is played and "Yankee Doodle" will set every foot to keeping time. Such numbers as "Old Kentucky Home," "Marching Through Georgia and "America," will warm every heart. The National band plays the finest music written, perhaps better than any other band, because it bhe is poor is the largest and the best drilled organ 111 v 111 " llvv r 1 1 II 111 I I'll 1 ikoilkh uinoo a mini wi. ; Sells Corner IStli and J&I Sts. p-oo(is at iKiULiiij.

Have you read "An English Woman's Love Letters?" It is said that Oscar Wilde wrote them. They can not bo genuine and no woman was ever so meek, so regardless of the rights of her sex and of love as tho writer of the let ters. Oscar Wilde may have written them. They seem more like, come to think of it, a man's idea of how a wo man ought to be in love. I suppose society in Lincoln, in Oma ha, in Seward and in Hastings looks, talks and behaves "along the same gen eral lines,'' as the club women say. I wonder if there is corresponding type in Omaha to one in Lincoln? This lady has an expression of inetlablo elevation on her countenance whenever she ap pears in public.
