Her eyes of blue.
"And what did Cousin Beiilo wcarl
And did you dnnco with Hello ! "
They asked , and wondered why It wns

\Vhat care I who tno dancers were ,
When nil I knew
And all I HII\V belonged to her ,
Two eyes of blue )
And oh I the time , the niter time ,
Among the pens and ink ,
When ledgers largo ami llguro-full ,
Would have me think ;
The balances went all astray ,
I'or all 1 knew
Was one and ono make two , that day ,
Two eyes of blue I
A southern sea , a summer sky ,
A llowcr In ttio wheat.
All shades of deon and shining blue
Her lashes moot.
And oh I the Unv , the day divine ,
When llrst 1 knew
That I could call them wholly mine.

There is a very decided murmur In some
tluartors that Omaha fashionable society lisa
crown so uiuvicldly that it will bo compelled
presently to follow the example sot , under
similar circumstancesin other cities and sub
divide ) coteries that nro now presumed to bo
"exclusive" Intosninllor coteries that will bo
presumed to bo still moro exclusive.
This murmur naturally conies most from
the old residents of the city , people who have
been hero a dozen years or so nnd have seen
the line drawn between the fashionables and
lion-fashionables each year n llttlo moro
tighter. Still It has been next to impossible.
to keep down their calling lists , and when
an entertainment Is planned hundreds of
names present themselves to the hostess.
Time was when n hundred Invl'atibn ' ? con
stituted a big "crush , " now It Is a very com
mon thing for hostesses to send out two
, thrco , four and very often live hundred in
vitations to receptions , nnd this entails a
world of worry.
Of com so It is always safe to count on one-
third of tlio Invitations being declined , but if
flvo hundred invitations have been Issued It
Is still n serious problem to take cnro of tbo
'three hundred andilfty quests who have ac
cepted.
Only last wcok just such a condition of nf-
Joli-s presented itself. A lady well known us
ono of the leaders of the smiirt world decided
to give n Kensington tea , but
when she looked over her calling list
and found the number of people to which she
was Indebted for tocial favors , the number
bocanvj lippalllnp , nnd instead of ono , t\vo
Kensingtons were decided upon , the hostess
'making n pronounced effort to invite the people
plo who knew ono another , thus Indicating a
division which of course commended Itself to
the guests.
But there are other nml moro cogent rea
sons for the discussion \vhlchisnowpoing
i on.
on.Tho tendency of society Is toward oxclu-
, nlycness , toward , small ntlairs which slmll
not , 'under any consideration , exceed three
"hundred guests , and s to bring this nbout In
Omaha Borne-worthy peonlo will necessarily
have to bo "forgotten" when lists nro bolng
made up.
It Is now an Impassibility for the repre
sentative sociPty women to Icccp up their
'calls , us the unwritten law of the smart
world rigidly demands , und naturally some
i of tbo favorites have cast an anchor to wind-
, wardiby cutting off charming people from
their calling-books simply because society hns
become already too much of n business.
And move of this will have to bo done In
the very near future If women would pro-
t Bcrvo their health and at the sumo tlmo do-
A'oto a portion of their time to theli ; homes.
It is said that Mrs. Glinuncey M. Dopow
has to engage her husband , the famous after-
dinner spe.iUcr , for her homo affairs , just us
flho would Invlto her guests , for the demands
made upon him nro so many that there nro
weeks when ho does not take a slngla dinner
at homo , only meeting Mrs. Dopew at break
fast.
In a lesser degree there are a number of
ladles nnd gentlemen in Omaha who have
not spent nn evening at homo durlntr the en
tire season until tbo past fortnight , and
naturally they have grown profoundly weary
of the "sturm ana drimg" of life , as " Carlyle
puts It , and they long for some relief from
the ( hitter of the snow-whlto Invitations into
their card baskets.
What Is to bo done Is the great question
Which confounds the leaders !
It Is admittedly useless to quarrel with or
oven question social usages nnd customs ,
slnco they are decreed bv a ruler practically
omnipotent ; but the philosopher who be
lieves that every effect must nnvo n cause
may ponder , In the security of bis sanctum ,
over the observances which the rulers of so
ciety dictate , and wonder why things should
bo us they are , mill whether there Is any log
ical or reasonable or historical basis for'somo
customs which It Is high treason to society to
omit.
For ox-ample , our genial phllospher must bo
sadly pii77.1cd to know the whys nnd where
fores of what Is known as paying party culls.
Ho recognizes to Its fullest extent the gener
ality of the custom , and , when ho cannot es
cape , compiles with It , but tbo puzzling and
vexing "why" will recur to him. Ho remem
bers that lu the olden tlmo , when a party was
a gigantic feast , and when the guests wore
usually kept beneath the same roof until the
next day , it was deemed a mark of politeness
for the cavalier to call on his ladylove the
next of toruoon nnd express the hope that the
venison pasty or the spiccdwlno or the sacker
or the hlppocras or the what-not bad not
caused her any discomfort ; but between that
custom and the modern custom of party calls
bo sees u gulf which not even tradition can
cross.
Nowadays our philosophic friend knows
that at Bomo tlmo within a week or so nftoi
an entertainment hns been given each ludy
who has boon a guest must attire herself In all
her bravery , chain her husband or brother ot
lover a relactantcaptlvoto her chariot wheeli
and gn and malto a party call ; but still ho
asks , why J It cannot booutof consideration
for the welfare of the host nnd hostess , for
too much tlmo Intervenes , It cannot bo to
convince the host and hostess that none ol
their silver spoons have strayed Inadvertant
ly into their guests' pockets , for again the
Intervening time Is long enough to turn all
the spoons Into bullion and the bullion Into
coin. It cannot bo to allow the host mm hos
tess to take a second nnd more leLiurely look
at the adoiument of her guests , for the call
Is not inado In full party dress. Nor can II
ho on account of any overpowering belief on
the part ot the guests that their host and
hostess nro hungering to see them again , foi
whllo polite society contains many shntr.saiul
humbugs Its votaries nro not over-addicted tc
self-deception ,
By thU time our gonlal philosopher's gen
lality begins to evaporate. Ho linds himsell
confronted by that terror of all philosophic
minds , an insoluble problem. In despair he
takes refuge In his library , nna being con
sclous that the cyolution und development ol
social customs 1 * duo chlelly to the fair sex
ho consols himself for bis disappointment
A. ' .qth Amlcl'aoplnlpn of woman : "A womni
U somutivo fugitive , irrational , ludotortnlua
bio , Illogical and contradictory. A gren' '
deal ef forbearance ought to bo shown hoi
and a great deal of prudence exercised will
regard to her , for. capable of all kinds of do
ration and all kinds of treason , she U nt
once tha delight and the terror of man. " Am
, \vlth this Incomplete answer to lib iiuostloi
bur genial philosopher blows out hU cundl'
nnd goes to bed.

brought out the le.ulors ol social llfo of the
citv m Inrgo numbers.
the McCord residence , while not partic
ularly largo , is still cjulto well adapted for
lurgo entertainments such as this was. The
rooms open into ono another very pleasantly
und there were no long hulls to traverse bo-
foru the receiving party was reached.
The drawing room to the rlnht of the small
hallway was prettily decorated with flowers ,
nnd throimhout there were many evidence *
of gentle rollncuieut. It wns hero the receiv
ing party stood , and for nearly two hours a
constant stream of guests caii.o mid went.

roses , dark crimson In color nnU tno fashlou-
nblo rose of the yoar. Candelabras shea a
soft , subdued light through yellow shades ,
giving to the room a very charming ap'pear-
niico.

casion , was under the direction of Hairy Ir-
wino , the lencterof the Musical Union orches
tra.

Two Charming Kensingtons
Mrs. Samuel Burns , Klghtccnth and Dodge
streets , gave two very delightful Kensington
teas last week , on Thursday and Friday ,
which brought out many of the represents
tivo society people of tbo city.
In tbcso days ICensintrtons have so little In
common with those of a docndo ago that it is
always n pleasure to chronicle nn "old fash
ioned" tou party , which the affairs on Thurs
day nnd Friday undoubtedly were.
Cards , which now form so much of a feature -
turo of afternoon entertainments , were no
ticeably absent , a fact universally remarked
by the guests. Instead of hlgh-livo the
Indies devoted the afternoon to their fancy
work , the pretty Kensington bara recalling
for all the world the tea parties of our
mothers' times" ,
The laruo rooms wore nicely decorated
with flowers and festoons , the refreshments
being served nt llttlo tables scattered
throughout tbo lower portion of the houso.
At tbo entertainment on Thursday Mr.
Tom ICelley nnd Mr. Walter Dale introduced
a pleasing Innovation , the former giving sev
eral piano numbers and also singing the
quaint old ballad , "In Old Madrid , " Mr.
Dale winning generous applause by singing
Do Wolf Hoppor's clover nursery rhyme set
to music bv Kerker , "This Llttlo Pig Went
to Market. " Assisting the hostess on Thurs
day wore Miss Hums , Miss Luna Dundy ,
Miss Margaret Williams , Miss Ida Sharp ,
Miss Mary Ludingtou and Mrs. C. E Smith.
On Friday Mrs. Hums wns assisted by her
daughter , Miss Burns , Mrs. C. AJ Harvey ,
Mrs. John McCorinlck , Miss Friua Jinrunrd ,
Mrs , Lucius Stephens and Mrs. Dr. Smith ,
What a pretty custom It Is to Invite young
ladies in to assist in the entertainment nnd In
the service of refreshments , nnd how much
of a relief it must bo to a hostess to know
that the comfort of the guests is just as dear
to the assistants as to the hostess herself. It
lifts a great burden and makes an entertain
ment so much more enjoyable than where the
hostess nlono Is compelled to look after her
guests.
A Clilldteii'H Dancing Party.
In honor of Orotchen nnd Marie Crounso ,
sisters of Mrs. Gilbert M. Hitchcock , the
latter gave a very pretty dancing party Fri
day evening , which brought out n host of

for dancing and until 11 o'clock the house
resounded with laughter and merriment.

ess , was untiring in her efforts m behalf of
her sisters' guests , nnd was assisted by Miss
Shears , who caino up from Lincoln to partici

port streets , gnvo a dancing party Wednes
day evening in honor of her guest Miss Carter -
tor , which deservedly ranks among the load

colved by the guosts.
Instead of tho' ' ilnnco numbers following
ono another In rapid succession as they usually
do , the thoughtful hostess baa the orchestra
piny chamber muslo nltcrimttng with the

SpHisoi'iu.D. 111. , Jim. 17. To sum up the
vldonco ami depositions thus ftr heard In
ho Hamilton contest case , it Is shown that
hat there were about twenty-four Illegal
otcs cast for Butzow and about twenty for
Iiimllton , so that the republicans are ahead
f the Investigation.
The engrossing question In political circles
s how the Farmers1 Mutual Bonellt nssocln-
Ion men will act in the senatorial contest.
The republicans bcllevo that Tnubencck will
iventuully come to tucir sldo , and the demo-
sruts nro equally flrm In the belief that Moore
vlll sooner or later cast his vote for Palmar ,
iut the most painful uncertainty exists about
Joekroll , who , although a life long democrat
) eforo joining the Farmers' Mutual Uoncllt
association , holds a seat In the legislature by
reason of having bcaton the regular demo
cratic candidate. The democrats have banked
nuch on the hope of the successful interces
sion of Cockroll's brother , F. G. Cockroll of
Sast St. Louis , who in political matters hns
eng been the confident and advisor of his
n'pthcr. F. G.Cookrcll Is known to have long
> eon nn admirer of Palmer , and the demo-
Tats have made every possible appeal to
ilm to intercede with his brother. Ho hns
nvarlably Informed them thnt his brother Is
ils own Judge of his duty. Kcnrescntntlvo
Cockrell , it seems , wrote to his brother for
advice and received in reply a long letter ,
which ho tonight gives to the press. The
'otter Is a vigorous arraignment of old par-
, les and old methods. The writer says ho
was the proudest man in the land when
Dloveland was elected , but his wrath know
10 bounds when ho discovered that Clove-
and wns n dwarf and had no conception of
.ho Icntrth and breadth of the country , its
aws and institutions , or the wants and neces
sities of the peoplo. He speaks in terms of
great admiration of General Palmer ns a man
who has "felt the swelling tide of popular
opinion nnd knows that the reform which
must como must bo bv breaking false notions
and not by longer building up a rotten sys-
am which is p&uporizlng the peoplo. " In
conclusion the writer says that if his brother
md colleagues can llnd a man whom they be-
, love best represents their organization , it Is
their duty to support him for senator , but If ,
after they have discharged that duty in n
manner to show the world that there is a
principle at st.lko , and ho wishes to consider
the next bast thing , the writer hopes his
brother will llnd.it consistent to support John
M. Pnlmor.
Cockrell adds ! "So far ns Farweil ,
Oglcsby , Martin and other republican ma
chine politicians nro concerned they are sim-
plv out of tlio question and you can never
vote for them. "
