to be beautiful. l had often been told
that York was one Of the prsttiest cities
In the state, but sseing is Of en- neces-
sary to believing, and that was an easy
matter as We drove through tho o beau.
tiful broad streets to-dered with tall
forest trees, that GO. mad larger and older
than the town could possibly be-. Be
hind tLe,e nes!lsd the charming homes
surrounded by shI ubs and vines and
garden houses. Lawn seats, and the many
other little things that indicate comfort
and culture. Tn, writer had the pleas.
uro Of riding after tho gentle family
horse Of Mrs. @. j. Nobes, whose many
Lincoln friends will be grieved to know
OF her serious illness. But though she
could not come 10 person to welcome
these ladies from all over her loved Me-
brasks, she wished her horeo and surrey
to be at their command. Mrs. Cowen
drove and secured friend to drive her
own. As we slowly, reverently. passed
the beautiful home OF Mre. Nobes on
East Hill, we saw the weak whit, hand
