One of the re jests from the new management was the Omaha and Lincoln letters lould be continued. So you at least iil continue to receive my letters in rint. Whether your letters will con- nue to be printed after they are writ- n and read by others as well as me pends upon yourself. I am satisfied ther way for I know I shall continue hear from you, newspapers or no twspapers. The Honeywell-Hollowbush wedding. Men occurred on the real wedding's y, Wednesday of this week, just ited my ideas of what a wedding ould be. The staring, speculations. ssiping hundreds were not Invited. he bride and groom, awaited by their ily and immediate friends, arrived the Episcopal church and were mai - !ed by the rector, the Rev. Francis Eason. Reverently and without he consciousness of being the center p hundreds of curious and more or ss indifferent eyes, they took the ows of lifelong devotion to each other. he details of the wedding were ar- Lnged with as nice care as though for e appraising eyes of the multitude. here were no attendants and no ush- The guests came into the church i into a home and selected their own ats. Everything was quiet, elegant. i nerved and an example to the barbar- js who contemplate marriage. When the Iune de miel journey is ver, Mr. and Mrs. Honeywell will be iven the receptions and functions hich their prominent place in society arrants. By that time they will have jned down their expression of happi- ess, the rustle of tissue paper and the uwsand and one conventionalities and ?remonials which distract a conscien- ous young couple's attention will have ased from troubling. The bride has written all tlitr letters of thanks to the Vriends who gave wedding presents and 1tt Otlll Vin Vlllntin n.l .1 -i .v iv uc ituavu.nu are reauy 10 en- joy their new home and even their re mote acquaintances. Honeywell and Hollowbush-how harmoniously they scan! Have you ever lived in a college town, Penelope? If you have not you will scarcely sympathize with girls who must reside in a place where un married society is dominated by under graduates. While the girls are under graduates themselves it is all very well; but as soon as she Is graduated a girl is "an old girl" and passe. It does not matter if she is precociously wise and was graduated at nineteen, she is "an old girl." The seniors who were juniors when she was a senior, sophomores when she was a junior, freshmen when she was a sophomore and nothing when she was a freshman regard her as a holy relic. They are dumb in her presence and would not think of asking her company to a rout or jouste. During her four years of at tendance, let me say at the university of Nebraska located in Lincoln, she was more or less of a belle and went to all the university and fraternity parties and never missed a dance. For a young thing with a record like this it is hard to be obliged to drink the bitter beaker those who are hors du combat must drink. There are scores of pretty girls in Lincoln still this side of twenty-seven who for six or seven years have been regarded as "old girls." This is not to say that se clusion has not had a chastening effect upon them. It has. And although only their intimate friends know It, they are more fit to reign than ever. But a girl's day in Lincoln is short. The sun rises in her freshman year and sets forever at commencement. The sororities let her down a little more easily. The alumnae members are just as interested in the active members as they were in their own llowenng period. Barbarians are separated by the adamantine will of strangeness from the undergraduates. There is one exception Roscoe Pound. Custom can not stale his spirits, nor crop after crop of undergraduates, ever fresher and fresher change his conviction that l Svt?: Vl - -iVM mttxdt the undergraduates in the university of Nebraska possess a profounder Judg ment and better manners than the students of any other fresh-water school. Mr. Pound is a judge, but the undergraduate university correspond ent of the daily papers continues to speak of him as "Itoscoe Pound," a naive sign of their affectionate regard for him. In towns where men's schools nour ish the lot of a girl who does not get married at least in her fourth season is not much more enviable. Such a woman, young or old. Is called "the widow." She is the relle or the alumni, she is a bequest, and at the same time she furnishes the undergraduates, who are humorously the most impoverished class in the world, with a subject of perennial humor. Be thankful. Pen elope, that you do not live in a uni versity town, co-educational or other wise. So Mr. Garelssen Is in Omaha again. He has not favored Lincoln with his presence since his return from "Your up," but I have heard that he Is well and still looking like his picture. What changes occur In the ranks of Omaha musicians from year to year A few years ago Joseph Gahm and Hans Al bert occupied the centre of the stage: now Mr. Albert is gone and Mr. Gahm is seldom heard in public. Of all the sincere, unassuming musicians who ever lived in Omaha and left it the richer for their influence, the most worthy of praise Is Mr. Butler. Un selfish In his devotion to his beloved art, the friend of young musicians, a loyal advocate of the right of the masses to hear good music generally reserved for the favored few when will the man arise to take his place? I am glad we had the privilege of hear ing him in Lincoln before his removal to Seattle. Adieu, ELEANOR.
