The letter ot ft'loeal so'clety girl to a friend who has become popular hero during her frequent vlsltq Is given below , It being very expressive of the Boclal life during the last week : ' . 23. Eleanor "OMAHA , Saturday , Nov. struck midnight and , with Dear : Jt has Just n , devotion almost manlike , I write you the usual periodic budget In this moment ot re laxation after the last affair of the week. It Is too bad you had to miss this Jolly week , but never mind , I shall keep 'him * sato and sound till your return at least. Ueally , ho looks uncommonly lonesome ; goes around like a procession headed for the cemetery or scene place quite na 'grave. ' "But let me toll you of the say times wo have had this week. To begin with , you must know It has been the most whlrly week of all. ncally , I have scarcely had tlma to 'pomp' my hair and change gowns between acts. There was Mr. and Mrs. Kllpatrlck's supper Monday night , which was a progres * felvo one , by the way that Is , you ate eilada at ono table and then sailed off to another for the next course , and so on till the whole menu had been served. It made thlugs very congenial , only I'd rather have had more time at the Ice cream table than at the salal board. When I get rich enough to build a marble palace or , rather , when Jack does I shall have progressive dinners , too , but each table will bo served with Ice cream tho'dtfforenco will be In the flavors. "Wo missed you , too , at Gertrude KountBo'a tea Tuesday atternosn. You know Jt rained , and rained ; Just the wo.st sort of .a day , but that only made the In terior of Forest Hill the moro attractive , and then , of course , the prospect of a new mistress In the home added a romantic flavor In fact , the whole atmosphere has exude : matrimony lately until every girl has beet affected by It , and In their Tuesday state o ; mind any man could only have led up to th ( subject at his own rlek. And whllo wo an oh the subject , let mo toll you a eolenii secret. It happened at the Towlo danclnf parityThursday ! night. 'Somebody' came upor two other 'somebodies' Just In the scone thai follows the 'Yes , ' you know , and so there Is one moro girl added to the ranks of the 'In teresting engaged , ' and the man doesn't live hero either. "You really should have seen how charmIng - Ing all the girls looked at Eva Kennard's tea this evening. You know it Is so much moro pleasant to have the hours In the evenIng - Ing when the young men can drop In. It adds variety , at least. Miss Clayton , for whom the reception was given , Is the daughter of Hon. Powell Clayton , United States minister to Mexico. She Is a delightful girl one of that wlnsomo kind that ds al ways popular. "Then the bewildering number of din ners ! There Isn't much Use to keep house any more , for truly there was a dinner every night this week , not to mention the luncheons and teas. And that's what makea society girls grow old. What a pity It Is unconventional to serve grape-nuts. "And now I must tell you the best Joke of the season. A certain tall , Gibson man , with dark hair and largo gray eyes , with a eerlous , rather mysterious air ; ono of those blaso young men who stand apart with folded arms and a far-away gaze Oh , you know who I mean , ho was suddenly atrlckenwith a certain visiting girl , a beauty , too , with the richest coloring , and hair 'kissed gold by the sun. ' Well , he wrote her a poem , and If the verses had fallen Into her bonds all might have been well , The youth wrote his Inspiration on a theater program ; the other young man In the box saw the aot and Instead of passIng - Ing on the program as directed , substituted his own. The poet was deceived and the young woman , though abe could not under stand , looked pleasant. But hero Is the poem ; "When o'er the golden summer ot thy hair The wintry snow of time shall fall , And on the mushing roseleaf of thy cheek Old ago shall trnco ills envious scrawl. When in the limpid azure of thine oven. The clouds shall gather , misty gray , Will nil this passion in my heart for theo Grow dim and old and ( ado away ? "And now , Eleanor dear , goodnight , I know your bead Is In a bewildered state after all this gossip , but It Is all true , even though some people may deny it. Lovingly , "MADGE. " Tea. at "Form * Hill. " beautiful borne of Mr. Herman Kountze was the scene ot ono of the gayest receptions of the season Tuesday last ; It was also one ot ho largest and most fashionable.
