Brilliant ovenls have followed each other
In rapid succession ( luring tlic last six days
anil It would seem ns If everyone Is de
termined to crowd In as many gay affairs
as potilblo during ttio one short week thnt
yet rcmnlne before the sad and folcnm
season o ( Lent will call a Imlt , ' and a deadly
quiet nnd depressing dullness will reign
supreme over the gay world , and the happy
face ; ) of soslcty's devotees will wear a sweet
though sad expression. The numerous fcn-
llvltlcs and brllllnnt gatherings ot those1
last two pro-Lenten wtclts will makes thu
contrast all tlia greater , hut they will also
bo food for pleasant memories and reflec
tions , and BO cheer one and all the members
of Omaha eoclety through tlio sad , long days
to come.
A good many ot the younger set will bo
busy during the coining week selecting ap
propriate valentines In honor of their fnvor-
Itc Mint's day and prnctlclnfi mysterious
nnd disguised callgraphy In order to com
pletely deceive the fortunate or tin fortunate )
recipients thereof. Everybody has been
really altogether too busy to be Indisposed
even ever so sllghlly , and Indeed the
drcnded and unwelcome Intruder In many
homes ihas at leiglh | discovered that he
Is entirely dctroji , nml so his name grip-
la becoming a thing of the dead past. Even
the unbending severity nnd Icy front ex
hibited by the clerk of the weather have
been utterly disregarded by the- swell set ,
and he , himself , lias met with a far severer
frost than , ho bus been able to inflict upon
society's loyal In-splto-of-all-weather devo
tees.
The most nolablo events of the many
swell affairs which have occurred during
the last six days were the- elaborate and
exquisitely appointed luncheon given by
Sirs. Hat-bach In honor ot Mrs. Benjnmln F.
Smith , and the elegant nnd perfectly de
vised whist luncheon given by Mrs. Fred
erick Davis , the card party given by Mesdames -
dames K. IM. and W. "W. Morsman , Sirs.
Coutant's kcnslngton luncheon and the de
lightful dancing party given by Mrs. C. W.
Hamilton In honor of herdaughter. .
Judging by the many entertainments
nvblsh appear on. the social calendar for the
coming six days this 'week will be na Im
portant and enjoyable a , one In tbo annals
of Omaha society as its Immediate prede
cessor. It really is most thoughtful and
considerate ot the tactful hostesses and tal
ented promoters of brilliant affairs to afford
so many chances to the- sweet young debu
tantes of 'the fast-fleeting season , and In
deed to oil who are In the front rank ot
Omaha's social world , to air their ravishing
toilets as many more times as possible be
fore the black veil is drawn , and they must
all , al.ia ! retire from -tho gay world for a
brief season and become reconciled to the
depressing gloom which will hang like a.
heavy mantle over all.
A few of the coming generation of deb
utantes were entertained the other after
noon by one of their number at a pig party.
Each was furnished with a. generous supply
ot chewing gum which was rapidly reduced
to a plastic etntej by the usual process of
Jaw working. Each guest was required to
mold tbo gum Into the form of a pig by the
lisa of lingers only and plaster the effigy
upon a. piece of cardboard. The producer
of the prize porker drew na a reward a me
tallic pig which emitted from Its stomach a
tape measure wound by n twist ot the tall
whllo the body took the shape of n papier
mncho porcine. The game bristled with fun
nnd the affair was pronounced a squealing
success * .
