JUNE WEDDINGS IKD THE SEASON More Omaha People Than Ever Before Are doing Abroad for the Sum mer and the Home Cal endar la Short. The Time to Make tote. Katharine Perry In Collier'" Weekly. The time to make love to a woman, If you want her to listen, my lad. Ia wnen shes a little bit weary, And Just a little bit sad. Pon t try when shea flushed with suc cesses, .... And eager for action and strife, "When h.? stands with her hand on the throttle . ... Of the panting engine of life. But wnlt till she's tasted of failure At the going down of the sun, When sh flmls that universe-changing Is not so easily done; When she faces her own limitations, And looks at them square In the eyes, And Anns she Is only a woman With powers of moderate size. Alone in the twilight then sock her. And tell her with tenderest smile. That worrying over vexed uueatlong Is far from being worth while. Such things without doubt are most proper Vor spinsters whose charms are but lew. But what she, divinely, was made for Was Just to be loved by you. She will change a career for caresses, Nor And the alternative bad, If you woo her when she Is weary And Just a little bit sad. Now that Jur-e weddings are over society la beginning to pack up its finery and look about for some place to spend the summer. It Is a matter of comment that there are more Omaha people abroad this year, or there will be by the middle of July, than ever befoie. For a number of years the nearby lakea and resorta seemed to afford all that people wanted, but It Is not ao this aummcr. and everybody seems pos eased to travel. July 4 has been set for the departure of nearly a score of repre aentatlvea of Omaha families, some to sail from Montreal, some from Boston, some fmm New York, and still others from Baltimore. And with the Jun weddings all over, the prospect for social activity Is anything but promising. In fact, every since the middle of the week the question has been, "What Is there going on anything?" The Country and Field clubs promise to fur nlsh the answer from now on. But since the midweek hop at the Field club haa become so popular the week Is not so long, after all. To date there are few affairs scheduled aside from the card club meet lugs and the Informal dinners at the clubs. It Is told of one of the recent June brides, whose education In a well known school of domestic science Is a matter of especial pride to her husband and the occasion of not a little envy among her friends, that he nearly lost the confidence of her fiance a few hours before her wedding, when. In looking over the many beautiful wedding gifts she said In her enthusiastic admira tion: "Oh, these lovely spoons and rksl What do you suppose they are all for?" There Is another story going the round that It Is said was overheard In one of tae local Jewelry establishments. ' A young matron who Is seen at almost every fash ionable gathering, and who haa been es pecially in evidence at many of the recent weddings, went In to purchase wedding gifts. Tray after tray of silver novelties In tableware were placed before her, and after looking them all over she said: "Hero la 115; give me some sort 'of new spoon or fork; It doesn't matter what they are for, but I want the very newest pattern. They are for the X Z wedding. Mark them. In old English and send them out Wednes day afternoon." And she turned and walked out Not even excepting the busybodles, the Florence car line undoubtedly affords the most reliable tips regarding what's what with the young people or the old people either, for that matter of anything that society has had at Its command In many a maun. If One wants lo know who are "going together," who Is engaged or who Is likely to be, his best plan Is to take the ride out to Florence almost any pleas ant evening, especially Just between din ner and dark. With the Influx of new horseless vehicles automoblling is rapidly speeding Into an established place In the hearts of polite society in Omaha. The variety of machines gives sest to the sport, because the formid able appearance of the wagon Is no sure In dication that It will come out best In an encounter with a light roadster. It Is easy to observe several Interesting races be tween ambitious auto drivers on the roads round about the city almost any pleasant afternoon or evening. Most of the machines In Omaha are manipulated by their own ers, although at least one Is equipped with a profeaslonal chauffeur, and It is related mai one guest invited to take a spin made reply that she wouldn't go "unless the chiffonier drove." Two High School alumni banaueta within one week Is playing It pretty strong, In view of the fact that graduatea of the Omaha High school had never before made their reunions take that form of enter tainment. The duplication of banquets seems to have come about because of'the determination of the 1903 class to shine all by Itself In the commencement celobra- tlon. with a consequent refusal of the in vitation of the Alumni association to Join with all the graduates of other years for one big comprehensive spread. The argu ments that won for 1903 excluslveness were that the newcomers would be lost in the membership of the large association, even though they might be assigned to tables of their own. and, more forcible still, that their orators and declalmers would be a disadvantage as compared with, the sea soned speakers of older classes. Both ban quets proved highly successful over ISO attending one and 100 the other. But they should get together for a merger next time. Mr. Oould llets was among those who went over from Omaha to Chicago a week ago to watch the Derby. The official time for the winning horse was given as 2:33, but according to the patent alapm clock he carries it took a whole week to run the race. Mr. Delta managed to reach home Friday morning. The success of a aurprlse party turns on making It a real surprise, and the most successful surprise party of recent daws Is that sprung on his friends by Mr. William M. Oilier, who posed not only as a con firmed bachelor, but one who would be wedded only to his profession all through life. But here cornea Mr. Oilier back from a vacation Jaunt that had as Its objective point the Royal Arcanum meeting at Que bec, with the Information that while away he met his fate and will introduce her as Mrs. Oilier In the near future.' The young woman Is said to reside In Pittsburg, and so strenuously was the courtship pressed that the engagement was consummated within eight days after the victims came within range of Cupid. That Is where western vim and energy wins out and af fords example to other laggard bachelors who are acting as a drag upon society. Two engagement announcements from the Philippines recently are of Interest to Omaha people, one being the engagement of Miss Alice Dodds, daughter of Major and Mrs. Frank L. Dodds, and Lieutenant O. V. H. Mosley of the First cavalry, and the other the engagement of Mra. Clendenln, daughter of Colonel and Mrs. H. B. Os good, and Mr. Taylor, captain of the port at Hong Kong, China. The wedding will occur this month. Among the pretty weddings of last week was that of Miss Grace Barnard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Barnard, and Mr. Harry Fisher of Denver, which occurred at 7:30 o'clock Wednesday evening at Knox Presbyterian church.

POLICE SP0ILB0Y'S GRAFT Lad tVae Getting; Twenty-Five Cents Each for Doge at City Pound. By the Interference of the police yester day a most profitable business conducted by Ralph Pennington, aged 12 years, was stopped and the mystery surrounding the disappearance of a'number of dogs of the Pennington neighborhood at Twentieth and Webster streets was explained. The boy confessed to the police that for some dnys he had been seizing all the dogs he found loose and taking them to the city pound where he received 26 cents a head from Poundrraster Laughland. During the last few weeks nine different parties living In that neighborhood have complained to the police that their dogs had been stolen or had disappeared. Some of these dogs were of a fine breed and were highly prized by their owners. The officers finally settled upon young Pennington aa the guilty party and he waa accosted After a little sweating he told the officers that the poundmaster had agreed to give him 25 cents for every dog that he would deliver at the city pound. Since that time, he said, he had gathered I ft. five of the canines, but expressed Ignorance as to the whereabouts of the other four that had disappeared from his neighborhood. Some of the dogs, the boy said, had tags on them, but It mnde no difference to him for the more dogs the more money, and that was what he was worMng for. Some of the dogs were recovered by their owners The boy was given a lecture and promised to get out of the dog business. Anderson also promised never to go near tils wife again. The wife agreed to the arrangements cheerfully and the prosecu tion was stopped. Anderson was arrested Friday night on complaint of his wife, who said he had frequently mistreated her.
