The departure of tbc Second Infantry will
leave several gaps In tlio ranks of the moil
who have been doing duty In Omaha society
circles. The l > acliclor ulHcers , eligible for
social functions liavo not been at tiny time
very numerous , but they have always been
admitted to the households of the best fam
ilies and have been In constant demand at
oil formal cntcrtnlnincntH. The porsonol of
the military detachment of our noclety has
not nlwaya been the same , having changed
during the ten years that the Second has
lieen utatloncd hero by the addition of newly
praduatcd West Plontors and the departure
or marriage of the older ofllcers. Thosa who
have been moat conspicuous , socially , dur
ing the past winter have been Lieutenants
lllncs , Wells , I'cnn and Hutton , although
several others hnvu shown themselves from
time to tliuu.
Matrimonially speaking , the officers of the
Second liavo not done well by the Omaha
young women , or perhaps , as this Is leap
year , It should bo said that the Omaha
young women have not done well by the
officers. There have been army weddings
galore , but In the whole ton years , only ono
was solcmnlzcMl In the homo of an Omaha
brldn , although It Is now announced that
another Omaha brldo Is to claim ouu of the
departing gllt-tasselcd Holdlors. Whether
the coming Twenty-second Infantry , with Its
reputed oven dozen of marketable bachelor
olllcers will do better , will not develop until
a season or two shall have passed.
Among the social entertainments that will
bo missed along with the soldiers will be
lli u weekly military hops that have regularly
drawn a large number of the younger set
out to Kort Omaha. They will doubtless bo
supplanted by similar functions at Kort
Crook , but the distance of the now fort
from town will bo against the heavy atten
dance of towns-people. The dance music of
the Second Infantry band will also be
inlssod , but hero , too , wo liavo the consola
tion of the coming of the Twenty-second
Infantry band that Is said to have an
orchestra unrivalled In the whole United
States army.
Bountiful weather has favored these giv
ing social functions during the past week
and It has greatly added to the enjoyment
of nearly all the affairs , for thcro have
boon bi't few that have not been more or
less of an open-air character. The bright
sunshine has been especially pleasing to the
numerous brides , for It has augured much
happiness to them throughout their mar
ried lives. Many porch parties and garden
parties have been a feature of the week.
Several of them have boon given after the
guests have returned from rides on their
mounts. Such liavo been most agreeable ,
the cyclers saying that lees are never more
refreshing than upon such occasions.
As hinted , society has been unusually busy
during the week , properly gowning Itself
and attending weddings. In fact , such cere
monies have been wonderfully frequent
throughout the month of roses. Along with
the weddings of the week have como several
series of teas and receptions , at which the
prospective brides and grooms liavo been
the principal guests. The wedding of Miss
Nash created more stir among members of
the swagger set than any event for a long
time and they reveled In the delights of
such an occasion to their hearts' content.
There were several other weddings , too , that
were scarcely less notable because of the
prominence of the contracting parties , and
on account of the magnificence of the ap
pointment of the affairs.
The week may bo marked with a red
letter for another reason. The "sweet girl
graduate" has made her annual appearance
and there has been a. lively flutter In many
Omaha homes In consequence. It may be
said that she Is as fair as any of her sisters -
tors who have preceded her , and that her
piano solos and her essays on the financial
question liavo been as well received as here
tofore. The combination of the wedding
season and the commencement season has
been of real benefit to Omaha's trade , and
the tradesfolk have rejoiced at the double
bill offered quite as much as society Itself.
The modistes have had plenty of new gowns
to make and old ones to make over while
the florists and the booksellers and the
Jewelers liavo sold numerous presents.
DIcycIo parties have been numerous and
the last concert at the post was listened to
by a largo crowd. Tltfso concerts have been
of great delight to the fair cyclers and their
escorts and they will bo sadly missed. It's
a considerably longer run to Fort Crook , and
some o the wheelwomen are not anxious
to rldo that far to hear a band concert.
Huns to Florence are as popular as over and
many continue on to Calhoun , where the
liberal hospitality of several Omaha fami
lies , having summer residences there , acts
llko a magnet.
The college boy Is back from his campus
to spend his vacation with "the family , "
and his dear sister has actually broken
away from the other girls at boarding school
for a few months. Moth have long stories
of their pranks to tell , many more stories
to keep from their parents , but to tell their
chums , and confidences to exchange with
each other. The college girl , not that she
has over seen the place , but that she has
a fondness for ono of the college's sons
has watched the scores of the deciding base
ball games and the results of the boat races
with as keen Interest as her brother. And
as victory or defeat has attended this college
whoso cause she champions she has been
rejoiced or grieved.
