TITK DAILY J1EE : SUNDAY , MARCH 2O , 1898. LOCAL SOCIETY Af LO\V \ EBB Omaha Smart Folks Doing Very Little Entertaining or Dancing. DULLNESS UNUSUAL EVEN FOR LENT Home Go to ClilriiKO to tlcnr the Opera nil Sonir do KlNpwIicrr to Id entic tli < - Tcilluni of Mnck- clotli mill Sermon * . In the way of social amenities during the last week there lioa occurred but little tote to chronicled. The qulctudo of the Lenten season has not been broken by anything very gay , and thcro la nothing tc'heduled for the near ) luturo that will be regarded ao brilliant. A wedding , a golden wedding an niversary and a few minor events do not make up a social week ot great pretensions. So thoroughly hath Omaha society humbled Itself In nackcloth and ashes that many of Its most charming women and some of Its leading men have ( led from the city and forgotten the somber robes In which local society Is shrouded. Many have had re- courao * to grand opera , and there has been quite a. general movement to Chicago on thU account. Many of the men have gene on hunting trlpa , and several of the populai i young society women who cannot enjoy the opera are taking this occasion to visit friends In ether cities where Lent la not o strictly observed. As the calm precedes the storm , It la not at all surprising to learn that many gay and festive occasions are being planned for the post-Lenten season. It Is a commonly ac cepted fact that the late spring and early summer months of the exposition year will witness the marriage of more young society folks of Omaha than have applied to the license clerk for the necessary papers In a long time. The coming marriages are being kept very quiet , for It would not be right 1 to divert the minds of the debutante and the matinee girl from tbelr Lenten duties by such Interesting hits ot gceslp. At least two of the weddings that will occur some tlmo after Raster are of worthy young Onmhans whose engagements have been known for some time. Hut there are others , ' and those who know say that there will bo twmo weddings of young folks who have otrenuourfy dented the exlutcnce of uny en gagements up to this time. The new homo of one of the couples soon to bo mated Is now being constructed , and an almost dally lilcasuro for the happy rulr Is to Inspect the pretty little house. The ways of the society girls for passing their spare tlmo during Lent are divers and past finding out. The fortunate ones are those who arc able to go to the opera or to enjoy some other out of town trip , and such arc envied by their Jealous sisters. The stay-at-homes , however , are having some fun of their own. u\ few clear , warm days during the last week have afforded an op portunity for many of the fair ons to get In Homo good practice at golf. Thursday a number of the young women took advantage of the favorable conditions to don their golfIng - Ing suits for the first tlmo and make a blurt at the game. Others are giving up their tlmo to studious matters , music , literature and art all resolving considerably more at tentton from the Omaha young women than during any other season of the year. The study of art In one set has of late turned toward the masterpieces that are to bo ex hlbltcd at the TransmlaslEslppl Exposition hero this summer. But one ot the dear girls fell down a few pegs the other day In a dis cussion that turned In this direction. They were talking about the copy of the famous statue. Winded Victory , which has just been secured for the exposition. One of the brightest of the young \\omqn , who has made something of a name for herself by her contributions to magazines recently , promptly spoke up and answered another who asked whoso work the Winged Victory was , saying , "Oil , yes , that's a fine piece o.1 art. It's 7JCBsle Potter's , Isn't It ? " The date of the Winged Victory U uncertain , but It U generally supposed to bo about the third century , B. C. ( i < > 111 \Vcililiiiff. . On Tuesday , March 15 , Mr. and Mrs. Laccy of this city celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage. In honor of the occasion Cancn Robert Dohcrty composed the fol lowing : I * or half n century two souls ns one Together travel toward tir setting sun. Their hnlr Is sllvcr'd and their heart Is gold , Fidelity and love ; life's story's told. God ir.mle them for each other and God matched Them. Heaven sent prosperity and watched TlH'lr happiness with kind approval.

Speaking of his decision In the case of Rohlfing against Hohlflng Judge Fawcett says a misapprehension has arisen from the publication of a sensational article In the World-Herald , In which the language of the court is d'lstorted and the order Is mis stated. Ho says he did not declare the mar riage at Council IBluffB of the parties Illegal and void. On the contrary , ho declined to pass on .the V > olnt. Rnhlfing obtained a divorce In April , 1891. In May of the same year ho went to Council Bluffs and was again married without waitIng - Ing for the statutory limit Imposed by Ne braska laws on divorced persons to expire. Later his wife and he separated on account of a disagreement , and she was told that her marriage to Rohlfing was illegal. It was to secure a ruling on this that the suit was brought , lUohlllng making his wife defendant to a petition asking that the marriage be bo declared legal and binding. When the facts were presented to Judge Fawcett , ho .said : A party cannot obtain rt divorce In this state nncl then within six months go to some other stnte for the purpose of gel- tine married , within the time prohibited by the law of this state , and then come back Into this stnto and nsk a court of equity to declare his marriage In such other stnte n legal and valid marriage. A court of equity under such circumstances will leave the parties where It finds them ; In other words , wl'l leave them to He In the bed which they themselves have made.
