Later, when all was calm, the verdure, and the fragrance of the blossoms, tempted to outdoor life, and made women rejoice that the season of respite from social duties, and, still more arduous, club duties, Is at band. Several of the social clubs have given their "closing parties," and "last meet ings" of literary clubs are of almost dally occurrence. A number of Lln coln women went to Omaha this week to attend the missionary meetings, as the board of the northwest was in ses sion there. The ladies expected to find time between or during meetings, for some necessary shopping, for women must shop, despite the heathen, and they will enjoy even a missionary meeting more in becoming bonnets and fresh gowns.

Bennett gave a delightful kenslngton yesterday afternoon at the home of the former, 1541 A street The house was prettily decorated, one room with tu lips and jonquils, one with roses, and a third with carnations.
