One not Infrequently hears -
tnalden mnrk , "Oh , I know what you horrid
rid men tfllk about wh you got together.
You Just crltlcUoui poor girls awfully , now ,
don't you ? " And hb Is disappointed If a
vigorous denial Is not forthcoming.
If there H ono thing over which Girls arc
wore curious than th&y ro over any other
subject It Is to know what the men say
about them when they get together. While
noctety's fairer members at Kensingtons and
other Lenten functions from which men are
debarred have bec-n illwusslng the short
comings of their brothers , the latter have
been considering a few social problems them-
Halves. Whether Mlsb A Is prettier than
Miss n , or whether the Jones house , glvea
grander parties than these given by the
Smiths are not the problem * which receive
the deliberations of the men. The rolatlon
between the financial and social woilda Is
far more apt to bo n favorite subject for dis
cussion. Times are hard and the girl who
Is willing to accommodate herself to the
times that shrink the purse l moro likely to
r colvo the favorable verdict of these society
men's courts than her sister who Is pos
sessed of bewitching beauty and brilliant
accomplishments , but who knows nothing of
gratitude.
Apropos of this subject a letter was re
ceived In thla city last week containing some
interesting remarks on the popular topic. It
was written by a young man who enjoys an
extensive acquaintance among the swagger set
of Omaha , nnd Is popular wherever he goes.
Had the letter been written by a youth who
had yet to be ushered within society's realm
but llttlo attention would be bestowed upon
his reveries. Hut coming as the Ibtter does
from a young man who Is "moro than
woven" and who has taken part In a number
of the swcllest functions In eastern as well
as In western cities thcro Is a significance
attached to what ho says which Is not to be
ullghtod.
Ho writes : "I read with qulto a llttlo In
terest what you had to pay about the social
part of your llfo , and was especially Inter
ested In the way you expressed yourself.
The question , 'whether It Is worth the time
and trouble , ' and expense , permit mo to add.
Is a question that has confronted mo several
times slnco last fall In connection with
local society , which , of course. Is but a poor
comparison to Omaha Dooloty. I have con
cluded that It does not pay to spend one's
time and energy , and what , to me , Is much
moro Important , Just at the present stage
of the game money In dancing attendance
on the ordinary , Insipid girl. A
man can't be real nice to a young woman
whom he may admire , and admire only ,
without being misunderstood , either by the
world or by the girl. Then , too , the ordinary
girl docs not understand what It really
means to a man , epeaklng purely from a
financial standpoint , to take her to a ball.
In fact , I often think that they Imagine
that they are doing a man a favor by ac
cepting his company. With married women
it Is different. The smallest attention paid
to a married woman Is rarely lost. It Is
really amusing sometimes to note the frank
smllo of satisfaction and real pleasure that
comes over a married woman's face when
you pass up some supercilious , chattering ,
senseless young girl , and ask the married
woman for a dance.
"Since" coming to this city , yours truly has
made It a point to be as nlco as'possible to
both the married and the unmarried women ,
and I must say that the attention shown the
triarrlcd v omen has given mo moro pleasure
to' the square Inch than the attention ehown
by the girls has to the acre.
' " " have card
"The married people here a
club , and nhen It was formed elected me a
member. I'm the only unmarried person In
the club , yet I really enjoy the meetings
greatly. The only reason that I was elected
& member was that I had made It a point to
show them some attention , nnd they took
this way , for once , of returning it.
"Last summer we were to have a little
dance at the Lake Side club house. Upon
learning that the Blank girls , next door ,
wore expecting a couple of male friends up
from Minneapolis , I took It upon myself to
invite the two younger Blanks to go with
me , which would leave their two elder sta
ters to go with the city youths. I had a
team of my own which I was going to use ,
thus saving a livery bill. Well , sir , those
girls , the two elder ones , for some reason
dldj not like the plan , nnd suggested our all
going In one carriage , and finally I went
up and ordered a livery , which they used
to meet the two fellows and their father
with at the train , thereby saving themselves
aulto a llttlo. Would you believe It ? I
had to foot the livery bill , $8.50 , plus $ LBO
tor putting the team In a barn , plus $2 for
music a total of $12. I acted as my own
coachman , and I'll bo 'Jiggered' If they oven
so much as thanked mo. Of course , they
were obliged to me nnd all that , but they
expected mo to spend one-sixth of my
month's salary as a matter of course. I
have taken those people to Just one dance
since and If I do It any moro you may call
Idiot. "

The entertainments given during the past
week have been of an Informal nature and
were most of them In honor of out-of-town
visitors. Although the week was by no
could not bo called
means a lively one. It
dull as thera were two good attractions at
the theaters , besides these Impromptu enter
tainments.
Many society people have gene to Chicago
to attend the opera.
Easter will soon bo hero and on that day
the churches will be filled with an array of
well dreused people , many who never attend
church but once a year , many then merely to
near the glorious music or to see the new
iprlng bonnets and gowns.
Many will bo glad to have Lent over and
gayety begin again.

If the nines' friends continue to remember
