)Vf THE COURIER 11 LINCOLN LETTER I). ar Penelope: Nothing is more noticeable on Lin coln streets than the constantly In ,reasing number of automobiles. As you turn a corner the chup, chuff, chuj; seems far away but in a second it is upon you and it is a leap for life or bones. Like all new sounds we have not yet learned its range. The rate of speed attained, I may say practiced, in Lincoln does not exceed that estab lished for driving horses, mules, don keys or oxen on the business streets. Hut as the number of automobiles and the interest in them increases, it is only natural that their owners should take pride in the speed of their motors. The whirring things are as yet an unrecog nized menace to life and limb. As soon as someone is killed, an ordinance for the regulation of the speed of the ma ,hine and the responsibility of the , hauffeur who runs over a pedestrian ivill be passed by the council. Mr. limmie Kernochan, the famous cross country rider, has posted a notice on the gate-posts of his country place on Long Island prohibiting the entrance of automobiles. Mr. Kernochan main tains that the automobile is an engine and should be put on rails and kept there out of the way of horses and men, especially horses. Descriptions of Mrs. Jack Gardner's Eyetalian palace continue to appear in the Boston papers. "It has cost a mil lion. It looks like a shoe-factory or some large public building divided in to wards or departments. A multitude of odd little ilights of steps and galler ies, leading from one story to another, gives an impression of a public build ing, an impression that is enhanced by the glass roof that covers a large part of the structure. The absolute plain ness of two sides, with unbroken, even rows of small windows, suggests a fac tory, and the heavy stone wall which rises to the second story looks as if things inside, human or otherwise, would be carefully guarded. So care fully is the place protected by a large force of private constables that a new paymaster whom they did not know by sight was ordered off the premises the other day, because he could not give the password, although in hishand he carried a big box of pay envelopes. When Mrs. Jack visits the palace, con sternation follows in her wake. Thedec orators and the lesser artisans quake, for she is more than likely to order, with an imperative wave of the hand, that their work shall be ruthlessly torn down, to be done over more to her lik ing. As she grows less youthful she is getting more and more of a martinet. The only person who appears to give the lady entire satisfaction is her pro tege. Oeorge Proctor, the little pianist, whom she has kept chained to her side longer than any of her earlier con quests. He grows sadder and more pallid as the months go by, besides looking ineffably bored." Society is so provincial in your city and in mine that it is stimulating to hear about the eccentricities of the opulent in huge cities. Letters from Washington announce the very great disappointment of so ciety people there because of the recall of Minister Wu Ting Fang. Minister Wu was very willing to be agreeable. He enjoyed Americans and they en joyed him. The old, old bouquet of politeness, the breeding of a Chinese gentleman, which it has taken more than fifteen centuries to ripen, madt him willing to please and to be pleased. He did not go about with projecting elbows, sure to be dislocated in an American crowd. He was always ready to be dined or lunched or to speak. He made some bad breaks, particularly the one about the certain amalgamation of the American races, but then he did not remember that we think we have dis covered that white people, not yellow or black people are the chosen ones. Being neither black nor white himself, but a lovely neutral tint he, doubtless, thought we would not mind being a shade less fair. Mrs. Wu has just land ed in San Francisco with three intereit ing young debutantes belonging to the Chinese nobility. Their wardrobes are entirely oriental, pink, blue, purple and lilac trousers, shaped like a pair of pillowslips, only longer, long stmignt jackets with large straight sleeves, all elaborately and heavily embroidered and Jeweled. Washington quite warmed to the idea of these girls giving a San Toy effect to society. They would have been so picturesque at dinner. The young men who were preparing to give them a grand rush are deeply disappointed. The president's daughter. Miss Alice Roosevelt, will make her debut" on Jan uary 3d at the White House. Accord ing to the correspondents. Miss Isabelle Hagner. Mrs. Koosevelfs social secre tary, is overwhelmed with attentions from young men anxious to get into her good graces and thereby obtain an en tree to the White House. It Is said that the previous Invitation lists tit the White House will be thoroughly re vised, and that anyone concerning whose social standing there is the slightest question will not receive one of the now coveted cards. Miss Caroline Morton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I'aul Morton of Drexel Boulevard, Chicago, was presented to society last Tuesday. Miss Morton is tall, graceful and eighteen. She has handsome, distinguished parents and grandparents and steps over the threshold of llttle-glrldom with the brilliant light of youth, wealth, posi tion and happiness to light her way. Miss Morton resembles her grandmoth er Morton, whom many Nebraska peo ple remember as a noble and distin guished woman. Sincerely, KLEAXOR. Lincoln, Xeb., Nov. 12. 1301. First Pub. Oct. 26 4.
