WHERE THEY HAVE STUCK IN OUR
CITY—COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR
SHADOWS BEFORE — WEDDING
CHIMES.
News of marriages and engage meents in Lawrence continue with unabated virulence. The epidemic is appalling to the invisible, and has been raging with unusual severity this season. Financial condition religion or health, receive no consideration. Anxious mammas begin to discuss the advisability of sending their susceptible sons and daughters to a school where the social atmosphere is not so seriously infected.
In various ways we have secured evidence of targets of Cupld's darts which received the shields when unmapped and unprotected, they reaching the vital spit upon whose penetration all mankind yield.
Now in communication with His Majesty we will expect henceforth to be informed of his successes in his archery and will from time to time, give our readers the benefit of his work in our city.
The "most exquisite young man of the city," of the Southern Kansas offices, has evidently allowed his heart to be carried away by the piquant young belle of past K. S. U. days, now of Fort Scott.
His Chum, watches with great an xieyt every mail, for a letter from the East where She is pursuing her vocal music studies.
The young gentleman, now of Princeton's classic hall, during his vacation home this summer evidently received lasting impressions of a dark young lady near Indiana and Henry
The pleasant young coal contractor of the U.P. road and the young lady of the "Stone Road" of south Tennessee street seem to "bear an understanding."
To the public yet enshoured in mist, is the "coming day" of a prominent young railroad employee and one of Lawrence's most favorite fair ones—the daughter of a minister.
Holiday wck a prominent young railroad man now of Topka, mother sister and home yet of our city, will take unto himself as life's partner,ev' to cherish, a young lady, who dangering her short residence in Lawrence as instructress in the family of a then minister, was noted for a sweetness in personal appearance and temperament.
Nearer perhaps, but no surier, is the coming knot, which will "make one," a prominent young farmer of Grant township and a popular young alumnae of K.S. U.,—class of '84.
Dame Rumor, connects the fortunes of a prominent young Miss M. of the present Senior class of K. S. U., with a young railroad maginate of Washington Territory. Again our informant whispers, a young capitalist of Wichita, whose letters, per information from the Postal Service "weighs a pound," is the favored man.
A nystie spirit pervades our sanctum, combining the names of a prominent belle, whose beautiful home overlooks the ice Jaw and "A cousin" who visited our city recently. Whispering on, the spirit says a dark young man from the North will come during Christmas days for his answer, which probably will be—no. Again, that the many "Would-be"s of our city will be smiled upon and in happy assistance for years yet.
A prominent young druggist and the charming young daughter of one of our respected physicists have spoken the words which create "Two souls with but a single thought, Two hearts that beat as one."
The young proprietor of a south Massachusetts street business house and the favorite of the lady clerks in McNutire's will soon stand before the altar and answer to the sacred ceremony.
Another clerk of Mr. McIntire's of the sterner sex promises to soon take unto his heart, a life's companion, in a graduate of the Business College of two years ago, and a favorite in the corps of city teachers last year.
A young mail agent, of the Santa Fe, has evidently been made happy, by the thrilling —Yes—from the lips of the piece of our prominent "Round
Corner" druggist. The young gentleman's mother will also soon lose a daughter, whose heart is also a "Mall boy."
Two of the most popular of our city mail system carrier boys promise an item in the near future. One, the every happy boy says his "sweety," has been all the truner since their separation through her visit to Colorado Springs last summer. The other says, notwithstanding many trying disappointments, on the setting of the happy day he now has his "birdie," the daughter of a prominent real-estate agent, so caged in promises that she cannot much longer hold off the day.
The son of one of our prominent book merchants has recently made up with his "first and only" after a long era of coldness, and through his influence, Cupid is now undoubtedly using his best and truest darts.
Our last message tells of happy ideas existing between one of the most charming young members of the Military company and book keeper in one of the south Massachusetts street dry goods houses and a young lady until recently a clerk in the same establishment and now of Kansas City. We await the date in anxiety.
USHER GUARDS. — Company II gave another of their very pleasant dances on Monday night, having been postponed from Thursday night. Quite a large crowd was in attendance and as usual spent a very delightful evening. Company H. should receive the thanks of all lovers of the terpsichorean art, for without their dances this season, that line of amusement would have passed from society circles. The hall was pleasantly arranged and the music up to the standard. Among those present the following names were obtained; Misses Belle Roberts, Alice Noble, Emma Lewis, Manie Tisidale, Carrie Steinberg, Ruth Woodard, Fannie Levy, May Porter, Lily McConnell, Nellie Headley, Eva Holdley, Mattice Bristol, Clara Greenamyer; Mesdames Moody, McCarty, Tracy; Messrs S. M Strauss, Dan Crew, Abe Levy, J. Baine, Geo Noble, L. Lewis, Lee Lettler, Will Roberts, Chas. Stone, Ben. Akers, Charles Meyers, Geo Tracy, Geo Deming, Henry Moody, Will Grovenor, Geo. Leonard, George Anderson, Herb. Bulleine, Nettle Littell, Fred. Morris, Wm. Penfield.
DANCING CLUB—The little folks dancing club met at the residence of Mr. Van Hoesen on Friday last. The young folks entered into the dancing with all the vivacity of youth. They were light and gay fairly swimming over with jabrill spiritis. The evening passed away only too quickly and the little folks were forced to go, much against their inclinations. Misses Rilla and Lucy proved theirselves charming little hostesses. Guests present: Misses Bella Sinha, Stella Hynes, Carrie McEwen, Don Burrie and Genie Bowersock, Mamie Spencer, Genevieve Howland, Messrs. Albert Flintom, Freed, and Jus. Bowersock, Hal Noble, Paul Leonard and Billie Spencer.
SCHUBBERT CLUER:—The Schubber club met at Col. Nobles residence or Thursday last. The afternoon was spent in a most enjoyable manner. The program for the next meeting was made out, the chief study will be the life of Haydn. They expect the meeting to be an exceedingly intereting one. Members of the club present: Moshamnes Beatty, Parke, Bierer, Grant, Bates, Davis; Misses Alice Noble, Birdie Starr, Mable Gore.
The pupils of Miss May Anderson, the talented young elocutionist, will give a recital on Saturday evening at the Press club rooms. Miss Anderson is meeting with wonderful success as a teacher of elocution. Topeka Capital,
JOLLY COASTERS.—The hill on Quincy street has been for the past few days a perfect living, moving confusion of sleights of every description and "bob sleds" innumerable. But no more hilarious party ever took advantage of the "path of snow," than a party of students of K. S. U. on last Thursday night. Many lightning trips were made and many eager to ride down, were just as eager to ride up—instead of helping to escort the heavy sled. About
Miss Anderson, it will be remem-
bered, visited here recently.
10 o'clock the party dispersed threatening to repeat the offense on Monday evening. Among the party were noticed: Misses Alice Pettee, Emma Blackington, Gertie Crotty, Clara Greenamyer, Helen Sutliff, Lena Bear, Messrs A. Postlethwait, W. S. Allen, T. S. Fritz, W. T. Reed, Y. White, Barlow_Lippincott, Frank Reed.

Those present were Misses Cora and Mamie Henshaw, Lillie Freeman, Lillie Turner, Emma Blackington, Gula Henley, Messrs Davis, Gilbert Lewis, John Schall, Jackson and Burney.
WHITE COASTING PARTY.—Not the least among the social gatherings of the past week was the coasting party on Monday evening in which Misses White, Suttilf, Miles, Lyons, Crotty, Cockins and Pochler, and Messrs. Swope, White, Jenks, Prescott, Davis, Fritz, and Alien took part. The fun was engineered by Yearles White, to whom the remainder of the crowd feel grateful for a happy "coast."
A pleasing example of the independence and strength of American womanhood was recently witnessed by a COURIER representative on the evening train from Kansas City to Wacopeo. Soon after pulling out of Kansas City "Peanut" came into the car with Kansas City evening papers, one of which the lady in question took, handling the sharp young man a nickel. Her eye at once catching the price, two cents, on the paper, indignant at the young man's action, she called him back saying "Young man the price of this paper is two cents." To this the imperious fellow only turned on his hee and left the car. Shortly returning with "peanuts only five a glass," he approached the lady's seat peculiar look was noticed to com into her eyes, as she nodded assen to a glass of peanuts. Opening he purse with "Now young man we've even." She handed him two pennies Her neighbors who had witnessed applauded. "Peanut" looked him and only summoned courage enough to say "Madame you're ahead anhere's another glass in the bargain The heroine is a Lawrence lady.
WATSON. — Saturday evening a very few select friends of Carrie Wattson assembled at her home and in music and social games passed the early evening hours very pleasantly. Among those present were Misses Fannie Pratt, Hattie Haskell, Kate Stephens. Professors Wilcox, Mac Donald and Mr. E. C. Little.
PRESBYTERIAN SOCIAL:—The Presbyterian apron social, held at the elegant residence of Mr. Henley on Louisiana street, Tuesday evening was in every sense a success. It was not one of those regular conventional “church affairs,” where the people range themselves in lines along the wall, and eye each other with auspicion, longing for the time to come, when they can go home with out violating proprieties, but one of those real good old times where a perfect elysium of cheerfulness and merry laughter filled the hours. A good lunch for the hungry was served about 11, and the major part of the assemblage did good justice there to. Most of the aprons were solid, armed at a very fair price. The surplus of apron, and tea will be held as a nucleus, around which will cluster arrangements· for another just such a “fine time,” when all who love a pleasant evening will be heartily welcomed. Those present: Dr. and Mrs. Osmond, and Mrs. Cook, Mr. and Mrs. Boles, May Russell, Mesdames Hill, Lane and DeLong, Mr. Johnson, Mr. McKee, Bella Love, Alice Noble, Prof. and Mrs. Baily, Mr. and Mrs. Love, Mrs. Benedict, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Innes, Mrs. Glun, Mr. and Mrs. Shannon, Bersalie Argo, Mande Mansfield, Mr. and Ms. Col. Noble, Mary Eldemiller, Mrs. Dr. Miller, Rob Osmond, Rankin, Lute Lewis, Mrs. Nelys, Miss Sid Daily, Mrs. Parke, Mrs. Mansfield, Rose Woodruff, Miss Scott, Miss Credit, and Mrs. McCann, Mrs. Alex, Rankin, Mr. and Mrs T. D. Griffith, Mr. Kelley.

The company started out about eight o'clock in a big farm sleigh with四o'clock in hand, and jingling cowbells, and after an enjoyable ride around the city, they adjourned to the Phi Pall hall, where the remainder of the evening was spent very pleasantly dancing, card playing, etc. The following persons were in the company: Misses Hattie Titus, Nellie Furness, Josie Cooke, Hattie Dunn, Lizzie Pettee, Harry Cooke, Mossrs.
