The present popularity of morning enter
tainmentB Is unprecedented, and during the
past week several have tnkeo advantage of
tuo cool hours of the forenoons to launch a
variety of now entertainments that have
proven ns pleasing as they have been novel.
I'or tho moat part they have been Informal
gatherings, but there have been several
quite elaborate affairs. The morning whist
parties and whist luncheons, which have
been the favorite diversion of the fashiona
ble women who have not tared to play golf,
are becoming moro popular than ever and
last week one of the reading clubs held Its
meeting out at ltatucom park from a until
11 o'clock.
Preliminary to tho season when society
decks Itself in evening dress there Is prom
lsed a month of merrymaking of tlio In
formal kind that leads everyone to touch
olbows with everyone else and supplies the
touches that mnku tho whole world kin. Be
ginning with the band concert tomorrow
night and continuing through the month
tho women who are the queens of the so
cial realm will llnd plenty of amusement,
and It will bo a Jaded nppetlte Indeed that
cannot llnd material upon which to feed.
Tbero will bo ample opportunity, too, for
thn exerclso of that gracious hospitality for
which Omaha women nre famous, and this
will doubtless llnd expression In numberless
little informal nlTatrs. which, when llavored
with a dash of IJohemlanlsm, are, after all,
qllltn as enjoyable as the more dignified
functions where everyone Is expected to
wear a conventional garb nnd have on his
or hnr best bib and tucker.
The culmlnntlou ut tho month's festivities
will be, of course, the Ak-Sar-Ilen ball.
While not much has been done as yet toward
ntaklug definite arrangements for this
event, the committees have the matter un
der advisement nnd they announce that It
will be their aim to make it socially the
most brilliant aflalr that has ever occurred
In Omaha. There will be superb decora
tions, myriads of lights, entrancing music,
nnd crowds of bravo men and fair women
on whom the lights looked down nt Ilel
glum'B capital, the night before tho battlo
of Waterloo will bo duplicated at the den
In which King Ak-Sar-llen has been hold
ing high Jinks during the summer months.
And who knowb but this same ball may be
n veritable Waterloo (o somo of the many
eligible bachelors who dwell within tho
city's gates, nnd he bo othcrthrown, horse,
foot anil chariot, by the glance of a pair of
11 m eyes? Stranger things have happened.
The alacrity with wh'lch tho women of
Omaha hnvo volunteered their services In
assisting tho Visiting Nurses' association,
which has been given chargo of tho con
fessions. Is most gratifying. The women
have proven themselves tho equal of their
husbands In handling llnanclal matters and
there l now practically no doubt that the
Bssoetallou will realize a handsome profit
On their venture The arrangements have
been made by an executive committee, com
posed of .Mesdames Winston, Council, Hog
ers, Hrandels and Misses Itennctt and Me
J'herson. Those who will assist through
the month are:

It Is reported that the new styles for fall
and winter will be decidedly unfavorable for
thin women, and the members of that
"lodge" nre said to bo protesting vigorously.
Their protests, however, nre likely to bo Ig
nored and In consequence the manufacturers
of fake and artificial aids to plumpness are
anticipating a big business. All sorts of
"developers" nnd exercising devices are sell
ing readily and the women arc wasting lots
of rnsh. And It's all wrong. Tho average
"developur" Is a snare sometimes, a danger
ous fake, and all are simply money-making
schemes. Tho only real, safe, healthy, genu
Inge nnd permanent developer Is proper
bathing, mnssage treatment and electricity
In brief, the new Renstrom treatment. No
drugs or lotions, nothing artificial. Applied
common Hense that's nil and It brings re
sults. You can wear an evening dress with
pride and sntlsfactlon after a courso of this
treatment, nnd your health nnd complexion
will Bhow a vast improvement. Trained

Plied upon the sergeant's desk nt pollre
station Is n heterogeneous lot of photo
graphs which are uot Intended for the
roguo's gallery. On tho contrary, they are
nice pictures of nice people pictures that
would graco any album In the city. Among
them are likenesses of members of some
of the most aristocratic families In Omaha.
How, then, did they come In possession of
the police? Thnt Is more easily answered
than the other one. How did they tomo
In the dusty old lumber room of n livery
stablo nt Soventconth street nnd St
Mary's avenue? For thero two detectives
found them the other day.
Persons desiring to recover these works
of nrt may do so by calling at tho police
btntlon and proving property.
This discovery mado In Dlllranco's livery
stable Friday by Detectives Savago and
Dunn forms the sequol of a story published
In Tho Uce of Tuesday, August 7, wherein
wus recounted the exploits of two smooth
young men from Chicago who Introduced
themselves as Paul and Ixiuls Marks, and
claimed to be exponents of urt for art's
sake. They were correct of dress, smooth
of speech, with manners polished and suave,
so when thuy called upon leading fnmlllcs
In Omaha society nnd asked to be permitted
to enlarge photographs of Its members
they were cordially received and
went away with tho covoted "cab
inets." This was repeated Beveral times
a day throughout u period of nearly two
months. The Marks, which wero twain,
did a thriving business. For euch pic
ture they collected in ndvunco 90 cents
merely to cover tho cost of material.
Aliirinlnir cvmnipcr Iti'imrla.
Then the wise Mnrks dropped out of
sight, and. until this day nothing has
been heard of them. To be sure, tho
newspapers contained telegraphic reports
from Salt Lako City concerning similar
depredations committed thero by men
whoso descriptions tallied with
those of Paul and Louis Marks,
but thos who had lost photo
graphs hero devoutly hoped that the
parties were not identical. Above all
things they hoped that their methods were
not Identical, for the modus operandi of tho
Mormon Town sharpers were most despica
ble. They cut off the heads on the pictures
of tho local society buds and dlgnllled
matrons and pasted them upon nude llgures'
Was this fato In store for their Omaha
dupes? Perish the thought!
Then there wns the possibility of the
portraits being used to advertise all sorts
of fake nostrums, food products, soaps and
washing powders. But this theory was
cheerful Indeed compared with tho other.
If they wero not going to use the pic
tures for some such purposes as the fore
going, what did they want them for? Surely
90 cents each wus nn Inconslderahlo revenue,
and would hardly Justify them in making
tho cnnvnss.
Thus society reasoned nnd worried nnd
worked Itself up to a stngo of excitement
bordering on nervous prostration, but It
seems that, no very dlro doom was In store
for It after all nothing more than tho
humiliation of having Its classic profiles
dumped like a lot of rubbish Into tho lumber
room of a livery stable. later to be gobbled
by the police.

Among the photographs nl the station are
recognized members of tho following
families: Edward A. Cudahy. Stephen A.
MeWhorter, Edward Dickinson and W. G.
Sloan. There were many others of persons
not known to tho reporter. All of the
pictures are In the highest style of the
photographer's nrt, and nro magnificent ns
to pose, drapery and finish.
With tho photos were found nbout twenty
enlarged pictures, showing that tho two
Mnrks had started to carry out their con
tracts This probably was done as a bluff
to throw tho pollen off guard In case they
(the Mnrks) wero interrupted beforo llnlsh
