WEDDING BELLS.—On Thanksgiving day, at 1 o'clock, ex-Chancellor Marvin performed the ceremony which united Mr. G. Scott Hopkins and Miss Cora Pierson in the holy bonds of wedlock. The wedding took place at the home of the bride, and only the members of the two families and a few very intimate friends were present. A large number of very elegant presents were received, noticeable among them was a hand-some engraving from the Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity, of which Miss Pierson was a charter member. An elaborate lunch was served, after which Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins left for abridal trip to New Orleans and other sunny climes. On returning they will make a short visit to friends here, and then go to Holton, Kansas, which place they will make their future home. No more popular couple ever left our city. Mr. Hopkins was a graduate of the Kansas State University in '81, took a law course at Columbia, N. Y., and is now engaged in the practice of his chosen profession at Holton. While taking his four years' course in our midst, he made a host of friends by his genial nature, thorough attainments and manly ways. He was a member of the far-famed "Arion" quartette, and one of the best men of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. Mrs. Hopkins has lived in Lawrence since her childhood, admired and respected by all, loved by hosts of friends, and one of this city's most popular society belles. A generous, warm-hearted and sympathetic nature, a thorough culture, rare mental qualities polished by long and thorough study, make her a general favorite, and one who will be greatly missed in Lawrence society circles. She was a graduate of the class of '84 in Kansas State University, and spent a year in Boston pursuing her linguistic studies and completing her musical course.
Quite a number of the friends of the happy couple accompanied them to the depot and decorated the car with old shoes, and showered the receding coach with rice—old customs in token of best wishes for the joy and happiness of this fortunate couple. To Holton society the Courier commands this young Apollo and his charming bride; and though Lawrence loses one of her best young ladies, yet she trusts Holton can but furnish her the happiest home.
I. C. SORISIS CONVENTION '85:—The first entertainment tendered the I.C. delegates from abroad was a "Grub" at Miss Sue Miles on Wednesday evening, November 25. The fore-part of the evening was devoted to songs, recitation and similar amusements. The cloth was spread and all par-took of delicacies, the excellence of which are alone known to the I.C. Later in the evening they were joined by the Betas and Phi Pais, who engaged heartily in the merriment of the evening. Thursday morning the ladies met at nine o'clock at the Art League rooms. As much business of important nature, came up before the sorosis as prevented them from attending "meetin," had been their wish. After the good old Puritan way. The sorosis was in session until two o'clock, where they adjourned to the home of MAUDE MANSFIELD, where a Thanksgiving dinner was provided by the sorosis. Fifty-three joined in the festive feasting. Thursday evening the Usher Guards had gallantly extended an invitation to the I.C. to attend their ball which was gratefully accepted by many. Friday morning the ladies resumed their duties, and the grand officers were satisfactorily elected for the ensuing term. Miss Ranni Anderson of Galesburg, Ill., Grand Q.R.; Miss Eva Eplant of Bloomfield, Ill., Grand R.S.; Miss Belle Leach of Mt Pleasant, Iowa, grand scribe; Miss Julia Ferris of Cartage, Ill., grand treasurer. Kappa Alpha chapter will continue the publication of the Arrow. The
next convention will be held in Indiana, Iowa, in the third week of October, 1886. Friday evening by half-past eight business was completed they immediately repaired to the Betas and Phil Psis halls who had extended to them an informal reception the ladies expressed themselves as being most elegantly entertained. Most of the delegates returned to their homes on Saturday with a lively sense of the charming hospitality of the Lawrence young people.

Nichols.
USher GUARD:—The most brilliant social event of the season was he Thanksgiving ball tendered by company H of the K. N. G. About one hundred and fifty couples were in attendance, and the crowd presented a beautiful picture, made up of elegant costumes, happy faces and dazzling lights. The music was furnished by Buch's orchestra and supper served at 12 o'clock at Mull's parlor. Most of those in attendance were from our own town, but many neighboring cities were well represented. Quite a number of the ladies in attendance at the I.C. convention favored the company with their presence. Among those present were noticed the following: Company H regiment I, K. U. G.; Capt H.W.

Park.
I. C. GRUB:—Miss Lue Miles entertained the delegates to the convention and the ladies of Kappa Chapter at her home, Wednesday evening of last week. The girls were just in the midst of the delights of the "grub" when entrancing strains of music were heard from without. Upon examination it was found that the Phi Pais and Betas were serenading the fair ones congregated within. The gentle men were immediately invited in, an invitation which they hastened to accept. On entering they were introduced to the delegates and joined in the pleasures of the evening. The old proverb—the bones to those coming late—was not in this instance a truth. As the boys were treated to all the delicacies of the "grub" which, it is needless to say were properly appreciated. After some time spent pleasantly in conversation, music and recitations were made the order of business. Mr. Jenks sang in usual entertaining manner. He was followed by Miss Florence Hill, the charming delegate from Bloomfield, Iowa. Miss Hill sang a number of song which were highly enjoyed. Miss Ambler, of Mt. Pleasant, Ia., gave a recitation, which, to do the young lady justice, was delivered in as pleasing a manner as any your reporter has ever heard. She was followed by Miss Maude Mansfield, who did nobly. About eleven o'clock the boys departed, delighted with hospitality of the C.'s, and charmad with their delegates.
McEwen—The little folks dancing club held its regular meeting at the residence of Mr. McEwen on Vermont street, on Saturday evening. This little club never fails to spend a delightful evening this week was no exception. Those present were: Misses. Madge Schaum, Annie Stewart, Burrie Bowersock, Carrie McEwen, Donnie Bowersock, Estella Hynes, Georgia Wilder, Helen Hutchings, Bella Sinclair, Jean Bowersock. Messrs Tracy Leonard, Oscar Leonard, Just. Bowersock, Hal Noble, Bert Rankin, Fred. Diggs, Albert Flinton, Fredd. Dorrance, Paul Leonard. Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair, Mrs. Park, Mrs. Hutchins, Mrs. Bowersock, Mrs. Schaum, Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. Tabor, Mrs. Leonard. Mr. and Mrs. McEwen.
CRANDALL:—A very enjoyable surprise party was given last Tuesday evening on Mr. Ed. Crandall at his home in North Lawrence. Dancing, singing and games filled the fleeting hours until 11 o'clock an elegant lunch was served, and 12 o'clock the merry intruders dispersed. Those present were: Misses Lola Mallison, Nellie Mallison, Leona Dillon, Flora Dillon, Della Olds, Lillie Olds, Callie Melvin, Rollie Gillull, Rosa Wabnitz, Maggie Wilson and Mary Treworgy, Messrs. Ed. Crandall, Baldwin, J. Talhot, R. Melvin, G. F. Leonard, J. Bayne, E. Markham, J. Hutt, and C. Lindly.
ART LEAGUE EXHIBITION.—An Art Exhibition is scarcely the thing to draw the multitude. It takes a peculiar inherent "don't know how you got it" warp of mind to enable a person to enjoy looking at a good, unostentatious picture, and it is only when this liking is cultivated by continued observation, that one can really derive full pleasure in examining the array of a picture gallery. True critics are scarce — not five in fifty who think they are competent to judge of a picture's merit is really endowed with the requisite judgment. Somebody has said that only an artist in the highest meaning of the word, can judge an artist's work. Difficulties of execution overcome by the painter—which may be of the subject treated, or of combating inadequacy of pigment—count in making a decision of comparative merit of such difficulties the average observer is necessarily unable to make due estimate—he is only too apt to be caught by color, and to remain unattracted by marvelously wrought sombre passages. The editor of a Social column cannot be expected to be alike well versed in art, literature and the drama. What we have to say of the Art League Exhibition must be considered to emulate from a casual sightseeer, rather than from a being appointed with the exudation of tubes of colors.
versed in picture lore, and have expressed satisfaction at the display made.
As to expenses. If the Lebge realizes an amount equivalent to expenses, it is all they want. This has perhaps been done, but we do not think that people have turned out as they ought to have done. The visitors have been pretty generally
Of the exhibitors: F. M. Benedict displays five pictures—he reaches for truths of nature in atmosphere, distance, etc., and avoids brilliant coloring. Mamie L Simpson exhibits three oils and one water color, all equally marked for careful drawing and faithful coloring. Mary Welch shows two oils, at least two are catalogued, one of which we failed to find on Wednesday evening. Her "chrysanthemums" is a rich but delicate picture. Mrs. P. Brooks exhibits two oils, both depicting nature, one in apples, the other in dahlias. The apples are especially good. Mr. Hann shows four oil paintings, all landscapes, rich in russet foliage. Miss E. A. Odell has two oils, the better of which we think is the Kansas wild flowers. This latter would have had its beauty enhanced by a wider margin of gold frame. Mrs. Graves is perhaps the most prolific exhibitor and some of her work is charming. five oils are credited to her. H. Dermer has two oil paintings either of which may be taken for models of careful drawing. Mrs. Osbun Shannon has the largest picture on view, Snowballs, (the summer kind as formed by sunshine); also some well painted tulips. Miss Ferris has four oils, from which we should like to select one for our own individual deletion—pocketbook permitting. Mrs. F. A. C. Canfield has the most harmonious picture on view in landscape—"On the Batten Kill." Mrs. Canfield is to be congratulated on this picture. Jo March has treated "Hibiscus" daintily. Mrs. Schaum presents her favorite flowers skillfully, having four or five pieces on view. Miss Dunn has a picture of Geraniums well rendered. John T. Moore has four water colors and F. O. Marvin, two; being largely local in subject they interested the spectators the more. A. Reinsch exhibited the only black and whites with the exception of that shown by F. O. Marvin; as a new departure they were well received. Engraving on metal found an exponent in Allen Colton, who ought, perhaps, to have furnished prints of his work if such course were practicable. Mrs. Peck confined her exhibit to ornamental pottery—a very praiseworthy and pretty collection. Loans were made by S. O. Thacher, O. E. Learnard, E. L. Nichols, W. H. Carruth, W. L. Bullene, B. W. Woodward, F. O. Marvin, Arthur Weaver, Hattie Dunn, F. M. Benedict and John Hutchings. Hurriedly treating these we must confess that eyed a Salvator Rose with interest as being a rarity "in these diggings." Two pastels, were rich in parts beautiful in foliage, although a carpeting critic might object to some minor points of drawing. Nevertheless they are the best pastels we have yet seen on view in the West. Of etchings, a goodly number of artist proofs merit approbation. A sketch by Jos. Hitchins grew upon acquaintance; its colors being largely grays, its beauties were not at first glance apparent. It shows the hand of an expert. A water-color by Earp is marked by a "blue-y-bluency" in excess, but perhaps to a careful observer of nature such color occurs as depicted. For delicacy combined with strength it is remarkable. A portrait by Edmund White is a model that should be held up to the gaze of photograph copies and distorters. A softer piece of work would be hard to find. Pictures by Cropsey, Brevoort and Nichols deserve mention—the latter belonging to the old school of American painters. A pair of water colors by Roberts were highly complimented.
The League is doing good work. There is presumably not a picture shown that is without fault of some kind, but we are not able to tell just what the blemish is, and shall not attempt to. The members deserve credit because they insist upon originality as a condition for hanging, and deserve double credit because they live up to their rule. If as marked progress is observed in the next exhibition as this one presents over last year's, Lawrence will boast of the finest artists in the State.
Everybody who has not attended, should make it a point to go on the last day—Friday. It is a duty of every citizen to encourage art whenever presented. It is a labor of love on the part of the League that should be recognized despite of weather, incination, or previous engagement.
CHERRY.—A merry party of ladies and gentlemen assembled at the residence of Mrs. Cherry, Wednesday eve, the 25th ult., to celebrate with Miss Nannie Anderson, the occurrence of one of those occasions which warn us of the flight of time. A pleasant time was enjoyed with cards, music and games until eleven o'clock when the company right gallantly marched to the relief of a table grooming under the weight of good things which had been supplied in abundance. At a late hour the company dispersed, each one wishing Miss Anderson many happy returns. There were present: Misses Lille Freeman, Euta Hadly, Maud Thrasher, Cora and Minnie Henshaw, May Taggart, May Hair, Messrs Burney, Griffith, the relief and Schall.
Woodward:—On Tuesday last Mr. and Mrs. O. J. Woodward celebrated their fourth Wedding anniversary by giving an elegant dinner party to a few friends and relations. The bride was charming and the groom as happy as on their first wedding day. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Geo. March, Mr. and Mrs. Frank March, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Dr. and Mrs. Hodge, Mr. and Mrs. Col. Miles.
DEICHMANN.—Miss Mary Deichmann gave a very pleasant tea party at her home last Friday afternoon in honor of Miss Sarah Cohn, of Leavenworth. An elegant lunch wrs served at 7 o'clock, and Miss Mary proved herself a charming entertainer. Among those present
A small party of young people spent last evening very pleasantly at the home of Miss Maude Mansfield.
Miss Clara Greenamyer Friday evening very pleasantly entertained a few select friends at her home in honor of her cousins Misses May and Minnie Anderson of Topeka. The Misses Anderson are two of the most popular young ladies of the Capital city. As an elocutionist, Miss May is not exciled in the State.
The Y. W. C. A., which was organized a few weeks ago by Mr. Oher, held their last meeting at the residence of C. T. Wilder, on Ohio street. The subject under discussion was Thanksgiving, and Miss Newlin conducted the exercises. About twenty-five girls were present, and from the interest taken in the work there seems to be but little doubt of the success of the association. The subject for the next meeting is Advent. Miss Wilder will lead. The association will continue to meet at the same place for the next three weeks. All college girls are cordially invited to be present.
were: Miss Sarah Cohn, Carrie Steinberg, Fannie Levy, Carrie Levy Mary Deichmann and Mr. Alfred Deichmann.
