Omaha society has reached the convalc
cent period. H was feared that Its prostu
tlon by the heat would result fatally , hi
subsequent events have proven that the coi
ncqucncca of the heated spell were not i
Ecrlous as were anticipated. H must not I
thought that Bocloty hag been In a gay ati
giddy whirl during the past week , for
hasn't , nut It Is doing very well for t
Invalid , and unless It suffers n relapse ,
will lie In proper condition to partlclpa
In the gayctlcs that are scheduled for tl
approaching fall season.
The sad and unexpected death of Pea
Gardner threw a pall over n great uuiubi
of society folk , Many social events tin
had been planned were abandoned and tl
hostu nnd the hostesses of other occaglot
rcelved numerous regrets from those wl
mourn thn loss ot n dear friend.
The nbsoiio from town of a number
society people Is partly responsible for tl
depressed condition ot affairs. With tl
single exception of n party to the oclgl
boring state on Friday evening there h ;
been nothing ot Importance en society
calendar for the past week. Tliere ha' '
been several smaller affairs , parties , lime'
eons nnd picnics , but nothing at all ot i
elaborate character. The exception th
navcd society's calendar from being a blat
during thn past week was enjoyed large
by the younger set , which seems to ha1
had Its full share of enjoyment during tl
summer months. Humor has It that II
members of the older set are holding thei
solves back for many formal and splcud
functions that arc on the tapis for tl
fall. ' The coming week docs not give prot
Iso of be-ltig a brilliant one , though siv : v
parties , for which Invitations are nlrcai
out , nnd the state tennis tournament , w
aid In further reviving society.

Bicycle races and the extreme wat
weather seem to have detained a few of t
members from attending drills of late. T
by-laws " * provide that members slu
attend at least 60 per cent
all company drills each year a
any member falling to attain that star
.ard will bo recommended as a lit caudldn
for n dishonorable discharge. Toniorn

dered to be prese'nt , to dispose of consldc
able business ot vital Importance that Is

who shall absent himself without sufllcle
causa need not feel embarrassed if he
