Thay resent being- tnrown ovoreoard , as they say , by their glrL friondi , whom they hove talton to parties , balls , tnontors and potlto suopers during the winter , and are talking of forming a ooycott Bgamst these wb will moot thu college boys , at the housu of tha young woman. The ( rlrh who uro looking forward with delightful anticipations to tha coming at the Ann Arbor Glee club are laughing iinmod- eratoly at the rumors of plquo felt by their Omaha friends. They soy It would not bo nt nil possible to Invlto twenty-live O mail ft men to moot twonty-tlvo colloglutis and still have tbo sumo number of young women. It woula not bo a bit pleasant for tbo girls or men and would bo decidedly stupid. But the explanation does not satisfy and all sorts of silly vows era being niodo that "If the Rirl do sco the college men , oto. , ola. , " they ( the men ) will Immediately go on a strllto even If the wnr has to bocnrnod through tha summer and into next season. It is a pretty situation as it stands and the outcome will bo watcbed with Interest by the looKors-on ID Vienna. But wo are bolting on the girls. The Idea of a boycott being inaugurated egaiu.t tbo fair sex. It is preposterous I The "Carnival of Clfles , " given Tuesday and Wednesday at the Kaluga building by the laales of All Saints' church , was a pleas antly successful affair , notwithstanding that the rain prevented many from participating in the carnival who would otharwlso have boon found In the midst of the worker * . Tbo booths were all prettily decorated , Paris , So- villa and Toklo being thorough nilloctlons of the Ufa they wore intended to represent. * * Fads are a dangorouu element of social llfo. Good , had or Indifferent , their power is irresistible. Each must run its course and dlo a natural death. Few present , fads are ilowoc to die or moro to bo deplored than that of serving light refreshments. The ex treme of lightness into whicb they have de veloped is a travesty on food las to and a burlesque on genuine hospitality. It la an Insult to good breeding tbat only custom makes it possible to tolorato. In vain the wit has laughed to scorn thu "bread and butt- tor parly1 and the reception with Its thim bleful of tea , and ethereal wafer. Freaks and follies thrive on ridicule , In vain fash ionable womeu themselves have enjoyed their Jesti over the farce into which , the serving of refreshments has degenerated. While ll was considered good form , they were powerless to change the absurd cus tom. Authorities , * however , persist In condemn ing the whim. It is not , and never bos been food form. It is all a blunder , a misconcep tion on tha part of the fashionable world , over greed for novelty. Celebrated women who entertain almost dailveivlng largo pub- llo receptions , prolTor to thu acquaintances and strangers who throng their homes the courtesy of a cup of tea , with perhaps aomo light delicacy. Imitators and fashion seek ers Jump at the conclusion mat since Mrs. Ellto entertains so , it must bo the correct and prescribed mode. Whereas it Is a grace ful attention in its sphere , but was intended only for general hospitality and was never meant as a discharge of social obligations. Could tlio obtuse world DO among the fa vored friends personally invited to tbo same homo , their ideas would be suddenly and completely revolutionized by tha princely lavlshnoss shown in tha anticipation of ovary taste. * Fashion in cards is over changing and It requires scrupulous attention to know just what is tbo aizo &Dd style to bo used. Is it since divorce has become so fashion able that tbo use of the card for "Mr. ana Mrs. " has been abandoned and husband ana wife have each their own ! At prosont-tho number of cards etiquette demands shall bo loft nt any one house is very involved. A married 'woman must have ODD of her own auu two of her hus band's cards if calling on ono member of a family. Of course If the family to bo called upon happens to bo largo tbo caller must needs lonvo , as a girl remarked the ether day , -'on outlro pack and the joUer. " The story Is told of a youth , very shy but vary ambitious to be thought well up in nil the details of foshiouablo Ufa , who started out the proud possessor of a bilvor card case. On arriving at the abode where thu llrst call was to bo made bo hurriedly remembered bis instructions as to leaving a lurgo-number of cards. Ilo llnally solved tlio problem by handing tbo astounded fontman the plate and Iho lifty cards just us they bed been Kept homo from the engraver's. Ha has made no moro calls since. Next week promises a littla bettor than the past week so far as social functions are concerned , the marringa of Harriet Frances Vaughon and Mr. J. Hsro Howell being an nounced for \Vcdncsdny afternoon at All Saints church. Wednesday evening a largo contingent of Omaha people will attend the Carman to bo given at tbo garrison by the ofllaets of the post. The coming of tba Ann Arbor collegians will bring out tha fashion ables in largo numbers , irhllo the lectures by Leon Vincent at the Llnlngor gallery will attract the literary Inclined among the well circles of fashionable life. Tha past weak has boon a little brighter than the week immediately succeeding Easter - tor , but bociuty has shown little disposition to emerge from tbo Lenten pall , anil the future - turo holds out littla promise for tbo mascu line element of society iixcopt the gernmn nt the gariiaon this week. A swell wedding , that of MUs Ucttlo Soligsohn and Mr. Wil liam Harris , brought out the Jowisli pooplc in largo numbers Wednesday evening at the Temple ol Israel , later followed by a banquet nt the Metropolitan olub. There huvo been several high live parties and ono or two balls , and thosn tell tha tulo of thu past week in so ciety. Th "Nlli'kern" mill Um "KlrUoiV flluut.
