THE COURIER
SOCIETY NOTES
LIFE'S MAZY WHIRL
Oh for a lodge' In some vast wilder
ness, or a cottage by the sea, a cabin
In the Rockies or a tent by the chat
tering' brook, anything to get away
from this uneventful sultriness. Yet
who knows. In two days, or one, a hall
storm, for which this summer is fa
mous, may come along and chase away
these envious thoughts, and reconcile
those who must spend the summer In
Lincoln, which is not so bad after all,
for Lincoln trees are green, Lincoln
skies are blue ,and there are the band
concerts to which we can go, and lis
ten to good music while we enjoy the
spangled glory of the summer night,
so what Is the use of repining. Speak
ing of society news there Is none, ab
solutely none, so the dear reader Is ad
vised to turn a new leaf and seek edi
fication in the "Odd Bits of Nebraska
Life."
The following is from the London
Telegraph:
Never has an English queen worn at
her crowning robes so magnificent as
those prepared for Queen Alexandra.
The, mantle train, which would have
been on Thursday suspended from her
majesty's shoulders, is eighteen feet
in length and three full breadths of
the velvet In width. In color It, is of
a lovely shade of ruby purple, selected
by the queen herself with unerring ar
tistic taste. Inasmuch as its peculiar
and beautiful tone is the only one in
the whole gamut of shades which
would clash with neither the true im
perial purple to be worn by the royal
princesses or the crimson of the peer
esses. It is lined throughout with
miniver, and .the cape, .with its correct
"powdering" for the queen's exalted
rank, is of ermine, of which, also,
there is a bordering three inches wide
all around.
The ornamentation is extraordinar
ily rich, and presents emblematic fea
tures of great Interest. The end of the
train Is covered by magnificent em
broidery over some five feet of the
length, in which is symbolized the
growth of the British empire. Starting
from the ancient crown and making
this according to the Plantagenet
form, which stands boldly out, is a rose
tree of vigorous outline. The roots ex
tend downward or toward the extrem
ity, where they are entwined with the
fleur de lis, symbolic of Norman influ
ences. Spreading upward, the thistle
of Scotland and the shamrock of Ire
land are engrafted upon it, and in
branching lines these reach up to the
star of India, the whole culminating
in the modern Imperial crown. The
embroidery has been wrought in the
finest gold thread of many colors and
differing degrees of brilliancy, by '
which means a lovely play of lights
Is Insured. The central petals of the
English rose have been executed in sil
ver and the thistle is touched with
shades of violet, a little green being
very judiciously Introduced In the
stems and the foliage. Upward, to
ward the shoulders. It Is seme or
powdered with the imperial crown,
represented about eight inches in
depth from the cross to the base. Of
these crowns there are about thirty,
placed at regular intervals apart,
worked In gold thread, with silver to
suggest the ermine of the cap.
Equally sumptuous Is the bordering,
which Is In three parts, the whole be
ing about ten inches In width. The
central portion has been worked upon
the velvet itself, and consists of
branches of oak leaves and acorns
linked by the crolx patees and fieurs
de lis of the crown, of such varied and
delicate stitching as to suggest jewels.
Two lengths of galon, or lace of
what is unquestionably the finest
cloth of gold ever fabricated in this
country, form edges on either side. The
first of these is woven in two shades
of the precious metal, the ground be
ing the true "ruddy gold" of Eastern
lore, and upon this Is a running rose
stem, upon which, at close ltervals in
applique, appears the English rose.
The inner border towards the center
of the train is a festoon design of oak
leaves, acorns, and stems, and on this
stand out in very high relief the rose
and fleur de lis alternately.
This work is entirely of English
manufacture. The design was drawn
by Mr. Frederick VIgers, P.RLB. A.,
and It was executed by the Ladles'
Work society at Thirty-one Sloane
street, over which Princess Louise
Duchess of Argyll presides, and her
royal highness assisted.
Mrs. E. C. Rewick gave a lovely
sweet pea breakfast at ten o'clock on
Tuesday, In compliment to her cousin,
Mrs. W. H. Kline, of West Superior,
Wisconsin, who Is her guest. Sweet
peas formed the center piece on the
table, and bouquets of them adorned
alljof the rooms. The Battenburg cen
ter piece was lined with pink, and a
was "The Problem of Household Help,"
and she spoke from the standpoint of
the domestic. Her paper was voted by
the club to be the most scholarly and
meritorious of the club year.

bate. She completed the junior year
of a law course the past season and

cial affairs at present no doubt the
attendance at these meetings Is large.
