A member OF the Lincoln Woman's
club sends The COURIER these words OF
appreciation OF the services OF Miss
Elliott, Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Scott:
Miss Phoebe Elliott the first president
of the club serving two years in that
capacity and Tor the past two years first
vice president will be greatly miesed ~
the board OF directors for the ensuing

most valued members. Conservative,of
excellent judgement and alert for the
best interests Of the club, she has
been most important factor in it's WON
derful development.
Mre. Kelly the retiring recording Sec
rotary, has performed her work in the
most satisfactory manner. Always at her
post prompt and palnstaking, she proved
herself an admirable officer and carries
with her the respect and affection OF
every member.
Mrs. Scott's able services as president
should be emphasized. As a presiding
officer in the club and board Of directors
she has been impartial. unselfsh and
courteous, and has devoted very large
share of her time for the past two years
to club work.

lish q State Headquarters in Omaha

Works which are greedily sought aft
er in one generation are neglected in the
next. Booksellers now rarely think it
worth while to give the height of an
Elzevir or to devote note to an Aldus.
The first editions of the classics, which
in the days of our grandfathers were
the collectors chief pride, are now fall
en- from their high estate. Ihave bought
recently for 80 shillings a fine copy of
the first edition of Aristophanes, Aldus,
1893, in handsome binding, with
gauffered edges which in the first half
of the century brought prices ranging
from 1870 francs to 425 francs. l could
instance other similar cases of decline
and fancy | can see symptoms OF giving
way ill those books which the modern
collector most affects.
In Paris, indeed, "rot" has set in
as regards modern works. Yet the best
books in good examples steadily mount
in price. First folio Shakespeares, con-
corning which discussion is being con-
Quoted in Notes and Queries, are far
commoner books than is generally
thought. The "boom" in them was
started by Lilly of New street, w. O.,
who showed me rows of first folios
which he never allowed to be sold under
a certain price These now bring large
sums, and the tendency is and probably
will be upward. In early poetry gen
orally the prices, once thought very
high, of the "Bibliotheca Anglo-Poet-
ica'' are now often surpassed. Booksell-
ers of the better class tell me that there
is steady demand for good books. -
