SOCIETY NOTES
LIFE'S HAZY VHIRL
The unspeakable weather at the be
ginning of the week made women feel
that house keeping was a delusion and
a snare, and party giving' not to be
planned for. 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.
