SOCIOT SHAKES OFF SLOTH Last Wcok Marked by Some Unusually Brilliant Functions , V/EDDINGS / , BALLS AND RECEPTIONS Portnnlliin of n Cotillon Chili that Hid * Kit Ir < o Kill Hit ; I'lnco Left Vnriint ) > > Ilic " .MonilII ) ' > If It t true that society In Omaha line been somewhat dull during the last month It la certainly a fact that such a quietude WflB only tiiat which usually precedes n. brilliant outbreak. During ( ho last week local society has taken a very brisk start uuto Itself. It Is patent to Hie most casual observer that not nearly all the social force fcas b < ) cn spent in this most uusplcious open ing , but that events Just passed presage a Bouson tlmt will bring Joy to the numerous devotees of society and Incidentally gladden the henrtfl of the florists and theliverymen. . T.IU week Just ended has given to Omaha a Ibrllllant wedding , attended by a series of concomitant cvei.ts , which , though of more modest proportions , were no leas enjoyable ; Jt has seen several private dancing parties of elaborate nature , though , In cluding a most limited number of guests , anil , incut of all , . it has been distinguished by the formal ilcbut of a new dancing club of the upper set tiiat promises to eclipse In grandeur ami oxcluslveness any dancing organization tbit Umalu has enter tained during thu last half dozen yrum. The Clarke-IIartman wedding and the lunch- cons , dinners and dances apropos thereof , the dancing parties at the elegant residences of .Miss Vutea and .Miss Kountzc , and the * flrst dance of the recently formed Cotillion club4ilch also met at the homo of Miss Kountzc , arc all deserving of especial men tion In a review of the past week's soclul t , happenings , and will undoubtedly bo fol- ff lowed by the many similar events whlou promise to maku a gay awaou. The formation of a cotllliou club la especially welcome to UIOBO who nro fond of the trlp- I/lng pleasure , and will 1111 a want that society leaders hiivo keenly felt during the earlier .months . of tno present season. The trio of young women who liavo unselfishly given themselves up to the establishment of tiiu new club deserve qulto all thu credit they will rccolvo for their efforts. The npptar- anco of this club among the young folk probably settles the question of a dancing club for the young married coupled In the affirmative. It also disposes of the future of the late lamented Monday Night club by announcing that that highly wteemcd , though soineliines abused Institution , will liuvo no future. . It does not dispose of the funds In the exchequer of the erstwhile danc- ilng club of the local society kadors , and as thotio funda nre sufllcit'iil for at luasl one Uanco , it is protiable tiiat a farewell dance will bo given , at which the requiem of the well nigh forgotten dancing elub of last year i\vlll bo chanted and Us hurl'il ' made complete. Thus will Omaiia society dance out the old , for It has already danced In the now. Interest In the contest for the honorable position of Queen Polaris has been noticeably Increased during thu last week. The favorite candidates are now being BO numerously .voted . for that It will soon require llvo figures to record their votes. The contest Is a close out1 , and whoever Is the Ilnal choice Is rea sonably sure of being closely pressed In the matter of votes. In connection with the rnco now In progress for the honor of pre siding over the carnival of winter sports jiiiiny liuertating stories arc going the rounds. One of these Is of a comely young colored woman , who called at a prominent attor ney's office during the week and asked per mission to cut the carnival coupons from his copies of The Bee. Ho wondered for whom she could bo collecting votes mid asked her. She replied that she was gathering together all the votes oho could get ahold of for Miss , well , she men tioned the name of one of the most deservedly popular girls In Omaha's upper eet. The barrister was somewhit surprised tint the young woman whom ho so highly esteemed should eencl out a colored girl to collect votes for her , but his consternation was creator when the dark-complexioned caller went on to say : "Yea , that's my Jinme. I notice that ever so ninny of my friends are voting for mo for queen , and I think If I collect all the votui I can and my ( friends continue to do thu mine , I shall bo queen. " If a certain prominent society girl should l > o finally elected queen , there may be a con test for the place of honor. There Is a young man In Omaha who meant well anil feels that he 1ms been dcrie a gross Injustice. It all happened at a rehearsal for a wedding of parties well up In the social scale. The organist failed to appear at the appointed hour , and the members of the ; we < ] tUng party wore kept waiting a long time 'In the church. As all were most congenial time did not hang heavy on their hands. Hut the bride prospective was a bit nervous nnil wanted the rehearsal over with , finally fl young man who was loafing around to enjoy the sport was appealed to. He admitted that ho occasionally tickled the Ivnry keys of the pedal organ , and forthwith took his scat on the organlstVi stool. After the rehwrt-al had been satisfactorily concluded , the bride's father , wishing to do the proper thing , clipped a few dollars In the palm of the young men. The latter was so surprised that It took him sevoiiil minutes to fay that he did not want any money , hut had rendered the sorvlco bemuse of his Interest In the coming ceremony. Then he grabbed his hat , end running out to the sidewalk re marked to his cuum-in-walting : "Say , on the square , do I look so much like those long-haired musicians that anyone has a right to take mu for > i church organist ? " C In rlv < > - ! : tin nil , The BoclM event of the week , around which more smaller functions were grouped than have been occasioned by any happening for. some time , was the wedding of Miss "TCaura Pearl Ilurtman. the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Christian Hartman , to Mr. "William Hill Clarke , < it All Saints' 1'rotcs- tant 13piscop.il church on Wednesday oven- Ing.

Mothers who suffer from leucorrhoca , falling of the womb or painful or irregular menstruation can't give their children proper attention. And other children they may bear will show the effect of those troubles. Wine of Cardui puts woman in condition to perform all the duties of wifehood and motherhood. It relieves the distress common to pregnancy , reduces the pain and danger of childbirth and assists to a prompt recovery after that ordeal. By acting directly upo.i the delicate menstrual organs Wine of Cardui stops all those drains , weaknesses and irregu larities that make life a burden for so many women. DRUGGISTS SELL WINE OF CARDUI. $1.00 PER BOTTLE.
