The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1896-04-18

the home product, and pine for some
thing new. Or maybe the young men
are waiting for more visiting girls.
II you think there is a scarcity OF mar
riageable men. just run down the list
with me.
will begin at the top, with the brace
OF touch me nots. Col. Wilson and Tom
Ewing. Surely these are toemen worthy
Of feminine steel. The fact that they
have been impregnable up to GATE is no
sign that they may not be won yet. Look
at the deacon's one boss shay. 1t held
together a long time, but it had to sue
cumb at last.
Then there are the belligerent bache-
lors Frank Zehrung and Charley Ma.
COON. They both have an educated
taste. One has white and gold opera
house, ample leisure. and a str liking
wardrobe ana Jack says the other has
constantly increasing law practice.
Frank Zehrung has been INDUCING in
sort OF gueri LA warfare a long time. 1t
is reported that he has made big i'm
preston many times, but somehow he
has failed to come out OF the woods.
and the poor girl has had to patch up
her bleeding heart and trudge along sus-
tsinea only by the staff OF memory.
Frank has disappointed his friends so
many times. He is still susceptible and
il the right sort OF girl could only catch
him and tie him hand and foot she
might win him. She could probably sit
in box at the theatre every night. As
for Charley Magoon, he is even more
elusive than Frank. And he would be
such a comfortable man at the other
end OF dining room table.
But Lincoln society is just now strong
est in broilers. sweet and tender young
things. These are for the buds. and l
should think the Younger girls would
have no difficulty in making a selection,
tho it is said there is quite an art in
picking out broilers. The list includes
Harry Harley. Homer Honeywell. Fred
White. Harry Evans. Ernest Haughton,
John Farwell. Elmer Merrill. Harry
Lansing, Guy Hurlbut. and a dozen
more. am not sure that Guy Hurl-
but doesn't belong in class all by him
self. Guy is going to be broker when
he grows up.
There are all kinds. you pays your
money and you takes your choice"
Eligibles OF intellectual attainments and
social fitness are ProfesforsWhite,O Owens,
Lyon and Mr.. McCloud. Jack calls them
the pedagogic paragons. Any girl with
grey matter under her bonnet who eau
not find what she wants in this quartet
is mighty hard to suit.
l am not sure but that DIR. Spahr
should not be classed with Meesrs. Ma
COON anu F. Zehrung His bachelor
hood is quite as aggressive as theirs. II
any girl thinks he is easy let her try
him.
Mr.. Fac con. Mr.. Stull, Mr.. Cook and
Mr.. Hanna comprise a self satisfied
quartet the ranks Of which are we'll for
tilted. these men have long since &C.
themselves to doing their own
and strange as it may seem they
rather like it. But they are strictly eli
gible. They all dance little and have
positions in society. They
have domestic tastes that are only wait
ing to be brought out by wifely minis
trstions. But you can't catch trout by
whistling to them. They won't rise to
any old bait.
There is class OF young men who are
neither hay nor grass. They may have
got safely through the broiler period but
thew are not qualified to take their places
