THE COURIER
SOCIETY NOTES
LIFE'S MAZY "WHIRL
In iollte circles the principle of reci
procity Is expressed In the social com
merce of luncheons, dinners and re
ceptions. Club members meet for an
interchange of ideas which broadens
and enriches each Individual life. The
musicians who play and sing for our
entertainment, the actors who amuse
us all move in harmony with the
principle of reciprocity; their talents
are exchanged for our plaudits and
gold.
At this holiday season the heart's
dearest sentiments unconsciously com
ply with this basal law. Fragrant
with the memories of past generations.
Cliristmas gifts pass from friend to
friend, visible tokens of affection
which is no less ardent at other sea
ons of the year because unexpressed
in materiul form.
During the week just past this spirit
of reciprocity has been exemplifled in
the royal entertainment tendered the
Omaha guests who were In the city.
On Tuesday afternoon a progressive
luncheon of seven courses was given at
the home of .Mrs. S. II. Burnham. The
decorations were of American beauty
roses and carnations, and were espe
cially handsome. Music was furnished

Died, in Lincoln, on December 31, at
her pleasant home on C street, Mrs.
Mary Carson, widow of John L. Car
son. Since the death of her husband
Mrs. Carson has been an invalid. Dur
ing her husband's long Invalidism all
her energies were exerted to care for
him and shorten the time for a sick
man with a very active, virile mind.
His death snapped the cord which
bound her energies together and she
relapsed Into a weakness which only
her unconsciousness of self postponed.
She was a gentle, wise woman and her
death bereaves two daughters and a
son. Miss Rose Carson, Mrs. Rollins,
who Is now in California, and Mr. John
LInd Carson. All the family have the
sympathy of a large number of friends,
but for Miss Carson in particular, her
mother's special confidante and friend,
the sympathy is very deep.
