THE COURIER
SOCIETY NOTES
LIFE'S MAZY WHIRL
In many eastern cities the social
season does not begin until the middle
of December, but in Lincoln it has
leen in full swing for a month, and
some ladies have been compelled to
change their dates because of so many
conflicting ones announced. This week
has been a busy one. Miss Hcllow
bush's wedding, although small, was
quite the most Important event, but
many have been very enjoyable. Mrs.
Harley is a charming -hostess, and her
series of card parties have been among
the distinct successes. Mrs. Metcalfs
reception was pretty. Indeed, and al
though It had no rivals this week, as It
was the only large reception given. It
would have compared favorably with
any. The fact that the guest of honor
was on the briny deep Instead of being
present to greet the callers, of course,
disappointed those who were eager to
meet her. The smaller parties of the
week were equally as pleasant as the
large ones. An unusual number of
large affairs are announced for next
week.
