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.
