Blr Cupid once , on I have heard.
Determined to discover
- IVhntklnd of a man a maid preferred
Selecting for a lover.
So , putting 011 a soldier's coat ,
lie tilkcd of martial glory ;
And from the way ho talked , they say
She seemed to llko the story 1
Then , with a smile sedate and grim.
Ho changed his style and station.
In shovel hat nnd gaiters trim ,
Ilomndohls visitation.
Ho talked of this , discoursed on that ,
Of Palestine and Mormon ;
Ami from Iho way he preached , they say ,
She seemed to llko- the sermon I
Then changed again , ho came to her
A roaring , ratllliM sailor ,
Ho cried : ' 'Yohol I love you so I"
And vowed hc-'d never fall her.
Ho talked of star ntm compass true ,
" * " " Tbo glories of the ocean ,
And from the way ho sang , they say ,
She seemed to like the notion !
Then Cupid , puzzled In his mind ,
Discarded his disguises ;
"That you no preference seem to find ,
My fancy much surprises. "
"Why , so ! " she cried , with roguish smile ,
"Why , prithco , why so stupid )
1 do not care what garb you wear
So long as you are Cupid ! "
AVIdlo the wcolc just past has not been
particularly remarkable for largo entertain
ments , llko its predecessor , there have been
a number of very pretty and modish affairs
which have been the talk of the smart world.
The dnnclng party nt the beautiful resi
dence of Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Yates do-
fjcrvcdly ranks hlghamong the lead Ing events
of the season , and the ultornoon tens at
Hamilton place brought out llio leaders ol
the beau monde In largo numbers. A lun
cheon or two nt the homes of several well
known society favorites gave piquancy le
the week , and afforded an opportunity foi
many of our residents to renew past friend-
( .hips and form new ones , something that is
tlwnya pleasing nnd delightful.
You rnny not know it , but the very propei
thing in thcso "tlmo bettering days , " a ;
ShnKCsncaro says , is to have your guests an
nounced , notwithstanding that the host am
hostess nre on quite good terms , with over }
guest expected.
In Now York all first class caterers now
send out "callers , " along with door opener :
and maids for the cloak rooms.
In si > ealtlng of this very pleasant custom f
Now York lady said : ' 'It's too much llki
Washington niul olllclal crushes. It's Enr
lish too you know , but ! lllto to pay my guest ;
.the compliment of recalling them withoii
having my memory stimulated by n servant , '
"That's all very well , " said her compan
ion , also often n hostess , "bu
in my cnso without their ah
I should pay many of ray very gooi
friends the poor compliment of inability t <
say their names at all. I really couldn't go
through an 'nt homo.1 creditably if doprlvoi
of this assistance. I find great difficulty h
making names fit faces nnd in tbo constantl ;
arriving throng 1 ahould fret hopelessly con
fused If things wore not arranged for mo. "
The only inslanco we recall of annouuclni
guests in ( Jmaha , was at the reception tendered
dorod Hon. . Hussoll A. .Algor last summer b'
Hon. John M. Thurston. Then Major T. 3
Clnrkson ofllcmtcd in the capacity of "caller' '
and knowing everybody almost in llio city
ho made Mr. and Mrs. Tlmrstou'n duties pai
tlcularly light.
It is a very pleasant custom and w
look forward to the tlmo when It wl
be the custom In tbls metropolis of the nortl
west.
The London Graphic prophesies that th
fashion of wedding rings for the husban
will rapidly become popular. It is an lime
cent fashion enough and might sometime
prevent nwkwnrrt mistakes. Dutiful hut
bands , unaccompanied by tholr wives , -wotil
not Inadvertantly have the nlr of being ga
bachelors , thus lending the ether BOX to Ios
valuable time. Of course , when a ma
wishes to pass himself olT as unmarried d <
signing persons nro'sonictimos guilty of tbl
Impropriety n mere linger ring would be n
obstacle. It would have to bo a nose rinf
nnd tbls fashion is unlikely over lobe-con
thovoguo. Ilowover.lf married men wish I
wear wedding rings ihero is nothing to pn
vo.nt them. Some busbunds seem to like the
domestic stnttis to bo known as. widely i
possible ; people have been known to talk i
their children to strangers.

club In Grand Haplds , Mich. The subject
wa broached to the leaders of her English
history class early in tbo season , aim a short
time ago the constitution nnd by-laws were
adopted , thus forming ino nucleus of n wo
man's club ,
One section ot tno constitution provides
that members shall pay an initiation fee of
, " > , and yearly dues to the amount of $1 , pay
able quarterly. All the business of the club
is vested in conunlUco of censors composed
of seven members , llio officers nnd three
others elected by the organization consti
tuting the committee.
Yho club meets every Wednesday morning
In tbo Pythian ledge rooms opposite the pub
lic library , and this Is a great help for all tbo
members who Hud it necessary to spend n
good deal of time In tbo library , especially
when preparing their papers , which are read
every two weeks.
Mrs. Hanchett disavows any attempt to
teach history , but on the contrary she says
she gives only the outlines , which act as
helps to a more Intelligent reading of the sub
ject now under consideration by "ThoCleo-
fan. "
Tbo members are enthusiastic nnd they
study tholr lessons like children at
schools , with the Idea of having to stand an
examination upon the periods covered "at
stated times. The class lias completed the
Celts , the Homans and the Picts aud Scots ,
tlio Saxons , and will take up tno house of the
Plaiitagenets ut the next meeting. It is
hoped to complete the whole history of the
English jwoplo down to the present by the
limb spring is fully established in Omaha.

Knight , Greene , ITalbun's "Middle Ages , "
Blackstone nnd Shakespeare for certain his
torical characters ,
