The third week of the first month , as the
Quakers would say It , has been notable for
the great number of smaller functions And
the small number4 of great functions that
ihavo hoppenod within the labyrinth known as
BSdcty. "Variety la the spice of life , which
lves It all Its flavor , " and EO wo have had all
) < lnds ot entertainment afforded us during
the week just past. Naturally the events
concomitant with the coronation ot Queen
Q'olarls tcok a strong hold on the populace.
> " \VlMtcver 'may or may not bo eald regarding
these , they afforded no small amount of
gcuulno 'pleasure ' to the many fair young
. women In whoso honor they were given and
reflected some credit on these who contrib
uted toward their success. The Hamilton-
iVan Glii-oii wedding was the most notable
it net Ion of that character during the week.
The meeting of the 'Married ' People's Dancing
-club was a distinct social success , and there-
were an Innumerable lot of teas , luncheons
and dint cr parties. The theaters were fairly
well attended during the week. Society
llockcd to hear El Capltan , but It dU not
wear its best clothes ; that Is , not to any
noticeable extent.
During the fourth week of the first month
Omaha society Is apt to be pretty busy. A
glance at the pleasures In prospect scheduled
on th.s page 'will show a fine array ot tha
jik'.i.iant little affairs that give the fair
tlcvitL'cs of Dame Society opportunities to
wear their best gowns and to talk of cn-
Kagt'inuiits not yet made -public and other
licrtlnunt subjects. The cards of Mrs.Casper
12. Yost for Thursday afternoon Indicate that
n new form of entertainment Is to ho Intro
duced to Omaha society. The- title , "A
'Kensington ' Luncheon , " suggests something
now. We have met these functions before ,
lull , separately , not In surh close un.on. In
the oilcmlar there are several small dancing
parties , but the Cotillion club will not meet
again until the following week , when an
elaborate party will be given at the homo of
Miss Yates. Wednesday promises to bo a
day that will keep the dear society maiden
on the move every minute after she arises ,
just before noon. There are enough recep
tions , teas and card parties on the tapis for
th--t afternoon and evening to be spread over
dovcral days In any city but a metropolis.
A Detroit society woman denounces In the
most scathing terms the social lapses of a
certain set of young men of that city , who ,
ehc says , by offenses varying from "cutting"
tlancca to ordering coses of champagne ou
ithclr hostesses' accounts , "have honestly
earned the comprehensive English epithet ot
'cail. ' " If this hostess , or any other hostess ,
In or out of Detroit. -inconvenienced by
such conduct , she has only herself to blame ,
* for the remedy Is In her own -bauds. Let
lier refuse to Invite such men to her affairs.
That Is the iway several Omaha women who
entertain a great deal have handled the
troublesome question , and rumor has It that
( future excesses In this direction are to bo
estopped by general emulation of their
worthy example.
The ice carnival did not Include the pro-
Brani of outdoor events that bad been
scheduled for It because the weather gods
mere not abit favorable until too late in
the week. The Indoor events In connection
fwlth the carnival , however , were all that
could bo desired , and will be pleasantly ro-
miciiiborcd for some time to come by these
who participated 111 them. The reception at
the ' .Mlli'iinl hotel on Tuesday afternoon was
a very successful affair. Miss Mildred
Slcplienson , surnamed Queen Polaris , re
ceived the guests In a gracious manner , and
was assisted by a bevy of as fair young visi
tors as Omaha has had the pleasure of en
tertaining In some time. After a timely ad-
diess of welcome by Mayor -Frank E. Moorcs
light refreshments were served and an hour
spent In social Intercourse. In the evening
' the coronation ceremonies took place at the
lagoon , the untoward weather to the con
trary notwithstanding. Ou Wednesday even
ing the queen and her retinue ot maidens
'ucro ' entci tallied by a ball given In tliejr
honor at the Mlllard hotel. This was In
every respect a most enjoyable occasion
There were on hand a goodly number of
dancing young men , both civilians and mili
tary men , for the Omaha Guards were thuro
In their attractive dress uniforms. On
Thurmlay evening the queen and her maids
occupied a half dozen boxes at the Mine
S3calchl concert , and on Friday they left for
their respective homes.

The postofilco employes In all departments
are getting ready for a big blowout In cele
bration of their Installation In the new
federal building when that happy event oc
curs. The preliminary arrangements are now
belli' ; made In a very systematic manner.
TlJ/arc | / In the hands of a general commlt-
toc..vlilch Includes the heads of all the de
partments and then there are various sub
committees to look after the different minor
features for the event.
The organization of this arrangements
committee has been completed , with Post
master Martin as chairman. Committees
have also btcn appointed on finance , music ,
piogram and decoration. These various
committees will meet at frequent Intervals
from now on and they hope and expect to getup
up an affair that will be a fitting tribute to
their magnificent new homo and will bo long
remembered by the -pcoplo olfu'firtfiy' Th"i
affair Is to be a hugo public reception. It Is
to take place on the cv > Vi5 of the day 01
which the department takes up Its quarters
In the new building. This tlmo was chosei
because the entire department would then
bo at work and It was bclloved that the gen
eral public would luthcr view the operation
of the big postofllce machine rather than to
look at the bare building ana ita furnish
ings alone. Ample opportunity will be given
to see the force at work , since the pcoplo
will bo allowed In the mailing room. They
will be admitted at the front entrance , will
be allowed to wander through the handsome
corridors and private olllces , will then bo
escorted through the mailing room and will
leave the building through the rear doors.
In this -way everything In the new building
can bo seen and no jamming will occur , de
spite the fact that a very large attendance Is
expected.
Anaiigements are being made to decorate
the Interior of the building for the occasion
with Hags and bunting. A band of music
will bo In attendance and will render popular
airs while the reception Is going on. Finally
It Is proposed to get up a handsome program
fl'nd ' eouvenlr which may be kept as a me
mento of the occasion by those present. This
souvenir will contain views of the building
and pictures of the men connected with the
department.
It Is still somewhat doubtful when the de
partment will be nblo to occupy Iho new
quflrtera. The furniture Is very filow In com
ing In. Postmaster Martin hopes and ex
pects that the removal 'can take place next
month , possibly by February 1G. A few
articles of the furniture have already arrived ,
but the biggest part Is still lacking. Yester
day morning a dozen clocks and two mall
racks arrived , the former from Hoston and
the latter from Jamestown , N. Y. Word has
been received that another consignment will
bo shipped from L'altimoro on January 25.
Postmaster Martin has no Idea when the
Postolllco department at Washington will Is-
mio the new Transmlsslsslppl Exposition
stamps. Ho has received so many Inquiries
regarding the matter that ho has written to
Washington requesting the Information. Ho
oxipecU an answer some tlmo during the com
ing week.
The pcsstmaster has evolved a scheme by
which he believes that the stamps can bo
widely distributed. He fluggcsU that the ex
position company should send out circulars
to all the postmasters In the traimtnlsslsslppl
region asking them to request exposition
stamps when I .ley send In requisitions for
stampH to Washington. In this manner the
stamps can bu given the widest circulation ,
