This Is to bo really a day of complete rest

The week has bcon crowed with functions

The 'X'cmplo of Pleasure bad been nil but
{ . dosortcd. Cobwebs bnd begun to Intortwlno
tliu faded garlands In the banquet hall and
dust hail burled the dancing programs and
i rose petuls thnt remained to tell to unnpore-
clntlvo vncancv the story of the last brilliant
gathering. The forsaken loudozvous re
echoed with mocking distinctness at ovcry
1 feint nt merriment , nnd _ the Jnst devotee
aeoined about to desert thu * once frequented
shrino. Hut a reaction lias sot In , und the
, Mecca of tbo fushlonnblo wnild may mason-
ably bo expected to wear again its hospitable
air.
' It was surprising , at tbo Doanc cotillon , to
otleo the number of young uoinon who had
never danced the gurmnn boforo. They np
t broached the ovcntvltli all the fear and
prcmbling of school unlldrcn up for an exam
ination. Antlyotlt should not bnvo boon
( surprising , for the cotillon In Omaha ha :
bcon tabooed for the past thruo years , am
the girls who wora enjoying their" first act
ual participation In the plcasantost of nil
society dances , were then plodding through
English literature , the languages , or taking
dally lessons In drawing , music , doportmonl
nnd tbo other accomplishments the society
girl is expected to nave before she loaves tbo
boarding school and seminary.
A pleasantly noticeable thine about the
cotillon wns the absence of distinct favorites
among the women , all being equally honored ,
'
. 'which , to sny'tho least , Is much preferable
to one girl being loaded down with favors
whllo the others nro reminded constantly-
their lack of beauty , popularity nnd those
charming qualities which distinguish ono
woman above another.
Yet it would have boon vorr hard to have
found twenty prettier or moro charming
young women than those who danced the
rotlllon In honor of Miss Ooano's natal day.
They wora the pick of the haut rnondc , rep
resentatives of Omaha's first families and
, .tlioy danced.tho figure * of Urn cotillon with
t-.tboftraco und finish that Is Synonymous with
gentle breeding.
.Apropos of the Doano cotillion and the
favors which were so much n fouturo of that
function. It is not very long ago , when , to
obtain favors In Omaha for the gorman was
ono of the impossibilities nnd Chi
cago. Boston Philadelphia and New
York were usually called upon to
supply that very necessary adjunct to the
successful cotillon. Why o'fton the howling
swells had to put up&fl apiece for tbo favors
alonu , either Imported or brought from
tbo oast. Lately , however , the sbnps have
taken to keeping thc.so requisites and very
pretty f vors may now bo obtained
rlgbt at homo , not in as largo assortments
to snleot from possibly as at Tiffany's Bnily ,
Bunks & Blddlo'H BaUUng Co.orPicklow
Kominrd's but sufllclont for all modest desire !
for society has placed its restraining hand
upon extravagances in favors much to Its
credit , and the hostess in arranging for
1 cotillon is not compelled to count I Do cost o
her favors as In past times , dainty pretty
conceits only being required and no whlto
natln menus fastened with tiny gold chains
to which are attached exquisite diamond
pins , nro required , which Max O'Uoll ii
"Johuatbnn and His Continent" speaks about
as showing the extravagance of the Amor !
can people. If such elaborate favors were
demanded now , a hosloas might just as wol
present her guests with $100 bills.
#
Knowltall Why so doucodlv pensive and
find , old chnppie. You can't bo thinking of
mnrrvlng , can you !
Wllthnvomo No not that. But I go
one of those Immense niu h spoons at the
Doauo Cotillon and was just wondering Ii
thcro could have been anything persona
meant.
Talk about Omaha's M > s. Mnlaprop. She
Is."not In it , " compared to a Mr. Malaprop
who has appeared lately nt ono or two ulu-
nors. Ho convulsed a table last week by
Bin tine gravely that a certain society bclla
samod to him very legible. It xvns some
ttmo before bis companions ascertained thai
ho meant eligible.
Acnln balloons being dlscuued in relation
to tbo Chilian imbroglio , and their possible
ucctsj In modern warfare ho remarked that
"argonauts" had often contended that
balloons could bo inndo great "locomotives'
of death.
A I'lORrwtNlve Itutlrrlly Cotlllun.
It has been n very long time since a prettier
or more thoroughly charming cotillon has
been given In the smart world limn that o
Tuesday evening by Miss IJoano In celebrat
ion of her natal day. It was a tiino of soda
revelry , 11 time of glamour and distinction
u time of flaunted genealogy , a tlino of Hat
tcilnc eminence for tbo Invited ana of ills
consolato regret-f6r the JKnorcd , The guests
were chosen for their brilliancy and for tl.oir
position in the beau moudo , and with Mr
William ( J. Douno to lead tbo equities were
pei f ect ,
The decorations were simple but vorv
pretty , sinllnx being used to good advantngb
throughout the rooms on tbo east sldo of thu
Douno residence on Chicago and Twoutv
first streets , while butterflies In nil sorts of
colorstlmt would havn
delighted the heart o :
the lopldopterlst , wcio pinned ubout tbo
walls and ever the wide doorway which di-
vldod the two drawing rooms. Across the
hallway , In the library , was thu punch bowl
which was vlslttU with startling legulatlty
by the guests , who numbered forty o'
Onmlm'-s society belles and bcuux ,
, Mr. Donne's whlstlo sounded at 0 o'clocli
and until 11:30 the dancing was continuous
\vhau refreshments were served , and thei
the pleasant procram was resumed , tenmn
atlng Jit a very llltlo after 1 , a very season
able ' ' and sedate hour , by tin- way , for boautv
'I'wolvo figures were danced , six diroc
nnd six Indlicct , Mr.Doano shotting hlmscl
n delightful loader , n position which is tbo
envy of every society man miyuhure. Ho was
considerate and coo ) , loading with qulotgracu
which added materially to tbo cburm of the
night.
The favors wore butterflies for the women
in various colors and butterfly bows "
for the men. Tbo butterflies were pretty and
nlry creations of the hostess1 fair hands , the
wings boinu made of gauze outlined with
cold cord and tinsel bodv. Miss Doano bav
Ing been engaged In their making slnco las
Kovcmbor. Tbo bows were mudo by sovera
friend * of the hostess and were ilncularly
pretty and appropriate , carrying out the gen
oral Idea of the cotillon.
The first direct
figure danced was sug
gestive or a butterfly la Its grace and beauty
followed by tbo tint Indirect , which was a
regressive march , eight couple * lacing each

I frtvora. For the foorth figure , Indirect ,
Mr. Doaii6 Introduced n pretty feature , ilvo
glrU holding buttorllcs above their heads
lancing toward the men , flvo of whom were
'ortunnto to secure the prlrcs whllo iho
others retired to the contemplation of what
rustic accomplishes In the social world oven.
1'no fifth xvns direct , and again the butler-
lies nnd bows \\cto in use , some of the mon
already showing their popularity bv the num
ber of multi-cplorcd bows upon their lapels.
The sixth llgiirt , another Indirect , was very
amusing , but not particularly enjoyed by
some of the men. The gills were permitted
to arawspoons from n bstr , there bolng tbroo
Itrgo wooden spoons like the o which our
grandmothers used In. their kitchens to stir
mush , which spoons \vdro given to the mon
ns favors , the largo spoons bolng presented
to the "biggest spoons" among the mon.
After nnoihor direct ilgiirocnmo refresh-
mcnts to the delight ot the guests , for tbo
dancing had boon continuous slnco the open
ing wnlstlo sounded.
After rcfroshmunts again the dancowns
resumed with nu indirect figure , the lender
taking six forfeits from as many
young Indies presenting the forfeits to
the men the same number
of mon then took the cutest valentines that
have ever been scon in tbn west from the
favor table and presented thcso poems of SU
Cupid to the owners of the forfeits. The
valentines wrro thoroughly sketchy in
style , exceedingly bright , uuri were particu
larly appropriate to the occasion. The ninth

nnd twelfth Indirect , the former indirect
being the "Illght of the butterflies , " the mon
driving tbo women , nnd the last an exceed
ingly pretty figure , was arranged in this

The sale of cheap and i ifc- .
nor goods is the cause o >
constant complaint , nnd cre
ates a great many dissatis
fied customers. MCI chants
woul'd prefer to liandle the ,
best at tides if their custom
ers were willing to / for
them. It is contran ti com
mon sense to expect genuine
goods at inferior prices. If"
customers want Dr. Price's
Delicious Flavoring Extracts
they can obtain them of any
i esponsible grocer. The cost
is greater but the results
obtained and the satisfaction
gained more than compen
sates for the extra expense
in buying them.
