THE OLD SOLDIERS GREETING.
Miss Belle Robinson: Your kind and
thoughtful remembrance of the members of
Abe Lincoln post Grand Army of the Re
public, and other old soldiers which enabled
them TO enjoy an evening with "ihe Snug
giles of Senovton," has quickened in them
feeling OF admiration for the awaken
| ing genius OF its author in these
| days of liberty, the cltizen-soldier.
| while he has heart strong enough for war,
| is possessed of spirit that is appreciative of
good work and is generous in his desires for
eXaltation of merit in all those pathways of
| men that lead upward to better experiences
| and onward to u fuller enjoyment of the ele-
| waiting pleasures of life. Harmony and
beauty are the enhancing allurements of the
noblest ana best in being and those who are
able to reach the hearts of men through the
| melodies of sound and the beauties of
| creative thought are an inspiration to the
world that lifts IT up to ats best estate. That
| this is your field of effort we believe and we
| trust the future for its more perfect recogni-
| tion. There are many difficulties to be
| overcome before full ACKNOWLEDGMENT will
be made. The world Is cold and CRITICAL in
| its dealings with the asperations of genius,
and 1t positively refuses to honor individuals
\ until they become the living exponents of an
| expression OF soul that compes homage for
| truths sake. That you will be able TO reach
this commanding place we confidently be.
lieve. We are conscious OF your genius; we
| have faith in your courage; we have conf.
| dence in your devotion. and as you toll on,
| remember that there are none that have a
greater interest in your success or Will have
| more pride in your achievements than the
old soldiers OF Council Bluffs May God be
with you. Il. Z. HUBBARD.

High teas are the popular form Of social
| entertainment in Council Bluffs at present.
| The masculine portion of the social circles
| are barred from the enjoyment OF these
| gatherings, but the ladies apparently enjoy
| them hardly less on that account. Several
OF these tea parties have been given during
! the past week. The companies have not been
| large, the ladies thus entertaining their
| friends limiting the number of Invitations
| and giving series of such parties, instead
| of having crush of friends at any one occa
/ sion. Among those who have given such
teas during the past week were Mrs. DIR.
Hanchett, Mrs. Mckune and Mrs. Van
