80 far there Is little planned for this
week, or rather, there has been little an

But next week's calendar Is well filled and
It Is safe to prophesy that this week's
board will be pretty well filled by he time
the week la over.
The home-coming of an unusual number
of "youngsters," as they have been called
bv a society bachelor whose college days
sre a long way behind him, promises the
usual round of frolicsome gayety tnai ai
iv. .Henri the holidays of this very
lively contingent of Omaha's fashionable
set, during the next two weeks. or inese
young people the Senior hop Friday even
ing marked the beginning of a series of
more or less, chiefly less, formal affairs
that extend through what remains of ths
Reveral dinner nartles. two large
dancing parties, a number of afternoon
affairs and another, of a rather mysterious
nature the young; hostess requests her
guests to wear stout shoes but refuses to
tell why have already been announced,
and, of course, there is no telflng what
will develop after they all get home.
One of the visiting girls who has been
popular beyond the good fortune- of the
majority of young women, fairly took the
breath of a bevy of "mammas" that had
collected In the corner of the drawing
room at ope of the larger functloi-s of
last week by making some rather sage
observations on "coming out" that would
have been worthy of an older and more ex
perienced society woman. In the estima
tion of this clever young woman the for
mality of making one's debul Is super
fluousIt hardly pays. In fact. "In the
first place it establishes too definite a
reckoning point," she remarked. "If a
girl Is able to hold her own at all she will
get her share out of a season without the
assistance of a formal debut party, and
besides, she will have the advantage of
being able to accept or decline Invitations
with reference to her own pleasure rather
than to those to whom she happens to be
Indebted. If her family has the standing,
she will be Invited quite as often without
Identifying herself with any particular
clique or season. Of course. If a girl hasn't
the family and Isn't especially attractive
It's a help for a time; It launches her, but
unless she Is married in a few seasons It
becomes awkward in ths end, for people
are sure to classify her according to the
year she came out and expect things of
her accordingly. No, thank you. I pre
fer not to be Introduced" And here this
charmingly wicked girl added a remark that
was accepted as base Ingratitude or pro
digious discernment according to whether
her auditors happened to be the mothers
of sons or daughters. It was this: "And
I am sure that I should never consent to
It if I lived in Omaha."
A young army officer whose attention to
a prominent society woman out In - ths
Hanscom Park district, has been a mat
ter of no little speculation for several
months, was rudely Interrupted in his
courting one afternoon last week by some
of his fellow officers leas fortunate than
himself. 8uspecting the errand that had
taken him off, they posted themselves down
town and repeated and urgent telephone
messages were sent to the young woman's
home inquiring if he was there and re
questing that he report at army head
quarters Immediately. He came finally.,
but the merry greeting they gave him
failed utterly to dispel his wrath at being
Interrupted.
