THIS OMAHA DAILY 11T3E : Sl'NHAV , NEC113M111811 G , 1800. REACTION AFTER CA\ETV \ flocioty Rests After a Busy Thanksgiving Week. LEAP YEAR'S ' LAST DESPERATE RALLY Clreiii Will lit- tinOrcat of tin * \ VH < In Cimii' . lint lii-re Will lie Oilier In- torcNtliiK i\cntM. At after n Btorm comes n cnlm ; as after passion follows rcpwo ; as "after life's fit ful fovc-r he sleeps well ; " so to a week of uiiuaiml activity , crowded full of socl.il Measures and overflowing with the modern Kplrll of Iho Thanksgiving festival , succeeds n wool ; which , without being quite stale , flat and unprofitable , certnlnly has coma nearer to It than nn early winter week In Eocloty ought to conic , and has afforded a welcome respite to a nuiubur of wearied minds and bodies. llcforo another Sunday , the society circus will have coino and gone , and the ( iodowsky concert , both of which aru likely to be gcnurously patronized by society In ioneral. The announcement of the circus , which ap pears hereafter , will be found to promise quite as Rood entertainment as any of the latter-day throe-ringers. The only difference Is that the attract Inns are not presented with that wealth of adJcrtlvcH which char acterize the "paper" of the real thing. The posters displayed round about , however , have Iho genuine high-colored look , the horscB arc duly dappled and the men anil women suitably attired. These , with the Htupendous end uncounted street parade , which will occur In all ll world-embracing mnKnltiidn on the morning of Tuesday , are. relied upon to ntlmulntc the Interest w'llc-h the performance Itself will assuredly retain. The circus Is given for clmrlty the greatest of the three wwrut attributes which abide last of all. The excellent custom of New Year's calling , which for some years has fallen Into disuse from a variety of cauots , la likely to bo re vived to mime extent this season In Omaha. Certain wtir.cn , whose Influence nnd ex ample In such matters no far , have expressed themselves as favorable to the practice In general , and as Intending to open their linusca to rails on N'cw Year's day. It h thought that other women will fall Into line , und that the old-tlmu hospitality may onro nmro be extended nt the outset of the dawning year. It Is currently reported , by these who ouht to know , that the maidens of Omaha , real izing that their days are gliding swirtly by , nnd feeling reluctant to let slip their leap- year privileges without n struggle , ore plan ning a last rally In the shape of a party to be given to their masculine friends within thn next two or three weeks. As the men , judging from the number of recent engage ments , uccm disposed to aid them In all their laudable undertakings , there would ap pear to be nothing In the way of the en tire suecesj of such a project.
