The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1896-05-30
ELEANOR'S LETTER

received a dozen neglige shirts from
New York. He said he was glad the
neglige season was at hand, and he Sc
lected the prettiest shirt in the lot and
when I saw him with 1t on Monday he
said he had put on society for the sum-
mer. and for three or four months would
keep to hfs roll collar and tan shoes.
About two hours later he invited me to
90 to the german at the Lincoln hotel
that night. I went. and Jack didn't
wear a roll collar or tan shoes. II half
Of what he said to me was true he
had a good time, too.
The german was arranged for by
three or four ladies. and not by Mr.. and
Mrs. Beeson, as I said last week. 1
think the idea was to show some at
tention to the visiting ladies, Of whom
there are a considerable number in the
city. There's Mrs. Valentine, of Sioux
City, and Miss Huston Of Michigan. /
guests. and Miss Rinehart. who is at
Mr.. and Mrs. George Woods. Miss
Mae Mount of Omaha was here as Miss
Maud Oakley's guest, but returned
Tuesday. Miss Mount will visit Lin
coin again later. when she win be Mrs.
Lew MarshalPs guest. Then there is
Mrs. Oliver Pierce Of Lafayette. Ind,
who Is remembered by many of the
Lincoln young people as Katie Miller.
She Is making her first visit in Lin
coin after an absence Of three years
She Is visiting her sister, Mrs. r. J.
Greene, and will be here a week or two
longer. Mrs. Henry Branch is here. the
guest Of Mrs. c. w. Branch Mrs. d. E.
Thompson Is entertaining Miss Hud-
son Of Cairo. All of these ladies were
at the german. 1t was a very pretty
party. Captain Giulfoyle led. The
captain is good leader. He treats ev-
erybody alike and Is sweet tempered.
Moreover he is ingenious. He intro
duced a number of new figures. BY the
way, one Of the girls told me that
Frank Zehrung told her he met Cap
tain Guilfoyle for the first time that
evening and then he had to Introduce
himself. Imagine that. Shades of
Ward McAllister and Berry Wall!
Things have come to a pretty pass, in
deed. when Frank Zehrung neglects
for six whole months to make the ac-
Quaintance Of so important a person as
Captain Giulfoyle. 1 am afraid our
impressario Is not 50 careful of his So
sial duties as he used to be.
Almost everybody was at the german.

WEIGH and a number of others. The
favors were pretty but not striking.
To my mind one Of the very prettiest
dances this season was the senior
promenade at the capitol Friday even
ing of last week. How these university
functions have improved in the last
three or four years, Jack says that
formerly the town awed the gown, but
that now since the university has 50
many students Of the class Of which
John Dixon Is leader. the town is in
danger Of being compelled to take les
sons Of the gown. Anyway, that part
Of the student body" that goes in for
q great many pretty girls at this dance
and most Of them students, too.
