U K , U. HAS A BUSY WEEK Manj functions of Minor Importance Arc Chronicled , INDICATIONS THAT CUPID IS NOT IDLE nnil ( SKlnn In Mnrrlnui- I'romlir * > ! ! < Ilif r < ii"Iiir | Pud of tlie I'rctfnl Srnion The last week In local society witnessed no brilliant dancing parties' nor elaborate xccc-ptlorB , but It has suffered to pans In re- vlow a greater number of small functions than have been chronicled for some time pant. Surprise parties to appropriately cel ebrate the anniversary birthday of some youth or maiden were excessively numerous nnd evidences of the handiwork of that sly nttlolmp , Sir Cupid , were not nutting. More engagements have been announced than for many weeks nnd In the language of Moody oud Sankcy , "Still they're more to follow. " It Is rumored that there arc quite a few cngagcmonti soon to bo announced among Bomo members of tbo first segment of Omaha's nocloty circle. This leport was ac centuated during thp last week by their np- pearanco together In a bo\ party , but some- tinico all slgnn fall. During tbo coming week there arp enough events on the tapis to keep the followers of ( Icklo society pretty well on the move. Tomorrow the Dancing club will give ono of Its enjoyable parties nt Morand's hall , on Tuesday Mrs. Gurdon W. Wattles will entertain tbo members of the exposition Doard of Woman Managers , on Wrdncsdav wl . ocun Iho Van Oleson-Hnmllton wed ding and on Thursday Mr. and Mr ; . Hrastua Young will give n largo reception Between thcBO major events there aio Innumerable minor happenings scheduled , so that ono will not long for something to attend. Dur ing several days of the wink the events at tending the crowning of Quewi Polaris will occur and will doubtless furnish enjoyment foi a largo clrclo of friends Ulio ncelt ago rno if PC ronmrKcu mai inu howling swells of Omihi society had capitu lated lo the .lapfl It rcilly did seem so , for a cotillion led by a young man who rpent months In studying the cotillions o the queer little people of the Orient was Japineso In Its every detail The last wccl linn seen another clunge In thi > nationality of society's HWagger set Strict Kuropcai ways have been adopted With the socla customs of the Japs prevailing ono weel anil with those of the Clcrmnna In the as rcndincy Wio next vveoK , ono wonders vvha nationality will bo made society's model In thu vveuk that Is to come The box party that spre-ul Itholf'ovcr the left side , rca'ly a dangerous side , of the theater on Mend v night was n signal success To bo sure the audience was not quite prepared for the grand entrance of the servitors bearing re frchliments but the auditors "didn't know you know , they lad never been to London o llcrlln , you know" It was natural tha there should bo qulto a flutter at the cur- laln-ralBcr played midway In tbo perform nnce , but It Is somewhat surprising to see how this nutter has continued to agitate society thorughout the week. Of course rumor has It that hard-boiled eggs nnd lian sandwiches are to bo served In the boxes at tl-o peiformance of HI Cnpltan , but 1 can bo stated authorltatlvc'y tint there is no truth In the report. Decanao a fair young bud should cheese a graceful manner of entertaining her friends at the theater is no reason for believing that the theater bo\cs arc to bo tinned into lunch counters It Is evident that a large number of society folk lock to heart the admonition abo'i proper attire to be worn at the theater oni "vcck ago , for no such elaboiato display o handsome gov us and numerous dress suits bas been observed for many a day as was seen dm Ing tlu > early part of the week. The improvement was most noticeable , and the clnngo from street apparel to evening wca on the lower floor made the house appear several eral times more attractive than usual. It Is currently reported that a modern code for affairs between gentlemen of Omaha's lilKhest grade society Is being drafted am will soon be submitted to a committee o civilians nnd military olncors for approval Tills action bas been brought about by a sersatlonnl encounter between two members of Omaha's real swagger club the other even Ing It took place In the club yard , and one of the combatants has slnco been wearing his right eye draped In mourning. Of course all tlio ueir gins naci u IIIUL uiu uumiiu was brought about by a dispute over the relative merits of two of tbo fairest creatures seen In society this season An Investigation Into the cauio was somewlnt disappointing "because " It failed to reveal anything romantic In the affair at all. A petty little cftiarre over J1.37 , the proceeds of a game at cards was the real cause. 'Dut they do say tha the set-to ' .vas a good ono while It lasted and It Is not to be Inferred that bo who wears tbo darkened lamp got the worst o the bargain 1)0111 < T UOMIfll lit 111 !

They found then that the cancsr had not only affected the ston.ieh , but that It bad also consumed much of the other tissues This necessitated the removal nf more of tbo "tissues than tne ur eons thought necessary it first.

It lice been expected and contended from the first that nn Omaha muslclin should bo appointed to the position of musical director. A number of the leadIng - Ing musicians have been and"aio outspoken In their opposition to the selection of an outsider , mile's he * o a muslchn of the first rank and of nitlonal reputation. Several month * ago the Commercial club passed a resolution to the same effect. From the bo- glnnlng the musicians have expressed them selves as believing that , Inasmuch as all the musical resources , excepting these that vvlll 'bo ' bought and paid for with the gate receipts , muu be furnished by Omaha ; that this city should have the advantage to be derived from the musical department for the upbuilding of its music. Omaha Is putting up the money and is spending Us brain power In making the exposition a success Its cltirenij have taken a risk that Is monumental mental and exhibited phenomenal courage , they deserve such of the advantage- will bo the natuial outgrowth of their efforts Thcso no one should be willing to deny to thorn. The musical department Is especially dependent upon local icsources. and with a director whoso Interests must bo in anothei city and vsith the unavoidable necessity ox- Istlngithnt the reputation bo makes as musi cal director vvlll rolled on bis own city and not on Omaha ( Indeed to the disparagement of Omaha ) , It seems especially unfortunate that an outsider hao been prcposed Thn music of Oinalu needs to bo ibuilt upIt needs to le encouraged , patriotism wo'iild dlotato that where it Is the laborer it should receive the hire ; If not patriotism , then justice. Omaha is the natural center of In terest and industry west of Chicago it b the city to which the great artiste come to g\o their performances , It should be the place to which music pupils should come to pmsuo their studies The exposition will advertise 6omo place as a musical center and thit will be the place that furnishes the musical director. Omaha needs that advoi tlEcmcnt and should have it. enln at n ° J' < theater Scalchl and a comoany of as- PP nc8 In this city this season. .Mme. Scalchl Is one t."e ' ?
