THE COURIER 8 H hi I 'SI HI II E ing room waa in green and white. Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Rhodes served the con fections. This last hss been a very busy week for those interested in the production of . the operetta, "The National Flower." Instrumental rehearaals under the able direction of Professor Hagenow, fancy drill-coaching by Professor Richeson, and practice of the curtain-raiser, JDa Maurier'e "Trilby," with Miss Anderson as director, have been the ordinary pro ceedings of the past week. The perform ance, it is safe to eay, will be very pleas- - ant in its variety, as the following argu ment of the operetta shows. Candidates for the position of National Flower have been summoned to appear before judge and jury, there to plead each one his own case. After giving reasons for de siring to be the National Flower, each aspirant remains to listen to the stories of his rivals. Occasionally weeds stray in, to the horror of the assembled flow ers, and consternation is great when an onion chances to look in upon the scene. The jury which, will happily illustrate the way judicial affairs will be disposed of when women are eligible to'the office acting under instructions from the judge, endeavors to decide in favor of the most useful as well as the most baautiful flower. Uncle Sam volunteers some valuable information, after which the flowers express their hearty approval of the one chosen, and the contest ia happily and satisfactorily ended. The date for the rendition of the operetta is set for the thirtieth of this the month of April. The ladies of the Aid Society hope that the general public will patron ize this entertainment. The money raised will be expended largely to house the homeless and feed the hungry. Mrs. R. T. Van Brunt entertained the L. A.Keneiogton with cards Friday eve ning.

The last one of the unusually brilliant season of concerts by the active mem bers of the Matinee Musicale was given last Tuesday afternoon at university memorial hall. It was open to the gen eral public and the large room was filled by an audience composed mostly of listeners from outside the club. It waa a request program and the perform ers were selected from among the club's best. The chorus showed the effect of Mrs. Raymond's training. At the end ct the season Mrs. Raymond's choruses are invariably perfect. As a constant steady musical influence Mrs. Raymond has been and is of inestimable musical inspiration to Lincoln. Her influence is like the sunshine so constant and so stimulating we forget to be grateful for it until a fortnight's clouds shut the sun out. The final number, Mendels eoha's Ride of the Elves was beauti fully shaded and sung as by one many, toned flexible great voice. The solo ists were loudly and insistently applaud ed but according to the club's custom did not respond to encores.
