Ornalu society men ought to hear tome at
the things that nro being raid about them
by tliolr young women frlondn. They are
being < Jcinwd of rudeness , thoushtlisne
an > l di1Minc s. If not worse offen * s > . It nil
arises from the growing ; habit cf the men
to nl g It to social affairs , regardless nf
Whether the young women Invited nre pro-
vldJd with escorts or not. At a recent danc-
IHB party about one-fourth of the men guests
came by themselves , or In one another's
company , while the young women econo
mised on escorts or relied upon people In
their own famlllss. The result was that
there were six more young women present
thin men. This may have been Joy for the
men. but It was tortures for the young wo
men , whs were compelled to constitute a
Btnmllng army of wall flowers , even this
yc-ir' * buds contributing to theranks. .
At anothsr recent dancing party the ob
noxious pracllc ? rebounded upon the headi
of llrf authors. So numerous were the stags
and so many were the stny-at-homc young
women that there was a double row of
partncrless men around the doors during
every dance , and the men had to bask In
th Ir own smiles when they partook of the
supper. In this Instance It was the young
women who were In clover , and the men
who wore a worried look. A little more
energy and self-sacrifice among the Omaha
in'n ' would obviate a recurrence of these unpleasant -
pleasant features of our local society.
At the holiday seanon the giv
ing of gifts Is prevalent , Now
ovnrybody can give sweatly , gra
ciously and lovingly. How many can accept
In the same spirit ?
Gift giving Is like love , the desire la sup
posed to come- from the heart , and no gift
Is worth anything unless It Is sent with
Hint feeling and that only. Hut then you
think you are to nccspt and never to return ?
vVe never know how to return things In
this world , but everything does equalize
Itself. You have been i charming companion
finl have brightened many a moment to a
Ivcman whose purse lo better filled than
yours. She semis you , when a Christmas
flay CDines , some dainty present- some pretty
Irlflo that she knows you will like , a book
about which you have talked , or a picture
that you have admired ; the mum you m-jlu
should be your thanksgiving , and that Is
all. Your gift of a joyful presence was made
long before the material one. I do no ) mean
by this that the woman who Is not rich muat
not give but I do mean she- must not think
of attempting to return at ones the gift that
lias come to her. It Is vulgar , my dear.
Walt until another gift day comes around
and tflen give something that expresses your
self , the child of your brain and your fingers ,
rather than of your purse. After all , Emer-
eon struck th ? keynote or gift giving when
he said : "Our gifts are for the most part
expressionless ? . Let the sailor bring a sea.
shell , the poet a poem and the pilntcr a
picture , " and these ar ? the gifts that , being
part of yourself , may be received as of
greater value than anything which money
could obtain.
One's gifts are much more attractive If
prettily wrapped In white paper , tied with
bright ribbons , a bit of holly In the knot , or
With colored tissue papers wltb mistletoe. It
Is worth while to take time to neml a few
words of friendly , grcetlnc with each gift.
AVer ? It not for the grand oprn this week
society would b'e very dull after such n
period of unusual gayety and excitement as
has reigned thus far this season.
All music loving people , as well as society
people arc anxiously looking forward to the
opera as the event of the season.
It no dcubt will bs a very brilliant affair
and it Is to be hoped that society people will
take advantage of the opportunity offend
them to don their evening gowns and dress
suits.
It Is also hoped that high hats will be dis
carded.
The rumored engagement of a society man
am ] an eastern gli-1 has caused not a little
comment during the past week.
We often have to go away from home lo
hear the news. A Lincoln paper tells us
that an engagement announcement Is HOOD
expected In Omaha Involving a young court
stenographer and the daughter of a prom
inent lumber dealer.

All physicians agree that the element of
ultli has a great deal to do In the cure of
is.'ace.
Firm belief and confidence In a family phy-
cian or the same confidence and faith In a
atent medicine have produced remarkable
cures In all ages.
This Is especially true In nervous troubles ,
nnd no field offers so prolific a harvest for
the quack and charlatan as the diseases
arising from a weak or run down nervous
system.
Nevertheless thevmost common of all dis
eases. Indigestion' and stomach troubles ,
which In turn cause nervous diseases , heart
troubles , consumption and loss of flesh , re
quire something besides faith to cure.
Mere faith will not digest your fool for
you , will not give you ait appetite , will not
Increase your flesh and strengthen your
irrves and heart , but Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will do these things , because they
are composed of the elements of digestion ,
they contain the Juices , acids and peptones
necessary to th ? digestion and assimilation
of wholesome fooa.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest food
If placed In a Jr or bottle of water heated
to 98 degrees , and they will do It much mora
effectively when taken Into the Momach after
meals , whether you have faith that they will
or not.
They Invigorate the stomach , make pure
blood and strong nerves In the only way that
nature can do It , and that Is from plenty of
wholesome food wtll digested. It | o not
what we cat , but what we digest that does
us good.
Stuart's Dyspspsla Tablets nre gold by
nearly all druggists at 50 cents for full sized
package , or by mall from the Stuart Co

A final word with you our immense display of
