It was but a few seasons ago that Dancing In the Hani was a form of society entertain ment considerably Indulged In by the howl- Icig swolln. Tim wheel Itai rolled nround. and now we hear the swelling howls of Minstrelsy end Vaudeville In the Ilarn. Iy ) all odds the red-letter event on the society calendar of the week was the unique celebration of the birthday anniversary of Miss Dickinson on Monday evening. The double bill perform ance , embracing an enjoyable theatrical < > ro- Krnni ami dollghtful repast afterward , was n very pleasing departure from the stereo- tjiicd fccm of entertainments that hive boon committed under the nama of Society Hils v Inter , and the versatile hostess deserves no fcinall mcaauro of credit for having brought cat another delightful Innovation In the way o" - < fiMil amenities.

The conlngcok promises nothing Hint v. Ill have to bo described In superlative lanK - K cpe , but the ( voipoctua shows that thcra will ho enough of minor events to prevent iiiv of the followers of noolcty from expiring of cnnul. A few 01 rd parties , a couple of llnpcrs and a wedding constitute a fair urhedulc. but one that will be ocllcrscd In brilliancy liy that of the fallowing week. Then vSt. Valentino's day will call forth a I'limbor of grand affairs , and wo reasonably look for the week after the c/io wo are Just entering to bo ono of the brightest for the 1)ollo ) and Hie beaux tint will occur during the tire-Lenten season of 1898. used to be a < > rctty and significant compliment , a debutante's bouquet , has Ki-adiially dc-gti.emtcd Into a positive Inciibtti. nmoaa when a girl who made her bow 1c fioclety was able to hold In her two hinds nil her llorul tributes In honro of the occa- Rlon. If by any crance slio could not wearer or carryall that had boon sent her , the some- liody whoso ( lowers had been slltfitod had every rcnson to feel aggrieved. As yeirs went on. though , many somebodies liad to leol alighted , as 't ' became a physical Impoa- filblllty for the debutante to bear the burden of all her bouquets. They waxed not only In number , but In size. It became the vogue lo have them stacked up on a stand dc- p.lgncd especially for the purpose , which , lilnced behind the girl , formed an affective 1xic' ' ground. Still the bouquets grow larger end moro numerous , and Instead of one fitard , several wrrc ntccssa-y. Nowadays no debutante dreams of making iibc ot t5io Ihwrrs sent her , even as a background. The l.oirjuoH ! arc heaped upon piano Ut > s , mantel pieces , book shelves and every other avall- f.blo spuce , being confined not to ono roomer or ever to ono floor , but overwhelming the whole heuse. An unwritten law that the sev- cirtl bum-lit" ! should be ke'jt Intact makes It urposslblo " to arrange the flowers with true < "ecoratlvo Intent. As ono guest put It after leaving recent presentation : "Such masses of hcapcd-ur flowers re mind mo of nothing so much as a funeral. " The Incubus of the thing Is shared by the Bender as well as the debutante. It is the iluty of everyone who knows a girl about' ' to make her debut to send her flowers , but thcro are times , especially when one con- B Id era the fate that will befall them , when ho would willingly forego the privilege. There Is , however , one set of persons who derlvo considerable satisfaction and real benefit from the floral offerings now o numerous at fioclal functions. This class Is In addition to the florists. It Is composed of IhB Inmates of the various Omaha lios- Jiltals , who on the following day enjoy the fragrance of the flowers tint helped to dec- orate some pallor or dining room on the jrovlous evening. The ultimate destination of nearly II the flowers that are nowadays rsed at the big affairs In Omaha Is cno or tl'O other of the hospitals , and none can tell Just how much good Is derived from the dls- tilbntlon of the flowers among the slrk. An Omaha brldo was not long ago overheard to r\y. on leaving her home , "I'leaseop that nit the flowers arc sent to my sick friends. " It was a thoughtful kindness , and It Is to tie regretted that the example Is not more Konenlly followed. Hut should any host or liostr.'s overlook this matter there Is a unlsslon of cntlmable joung women of this rlty who make It their duty to collect the flowers and distribute them among the nick. A minstrel entertainment on which < hey are now at work for the near future will bo generously supported for the good they do. Tlun-Hlon Illllrn. The < lnwn of the new year finds the Thurs- ton Ulflcs rapidly forging to the front In the matter of clearing their financial In debtedness , and from the present condition of affairs It looks like the company will hoe visions of prosperity before Juno a-oses appear.

To say that tha Thiirstons are watching the "developments " of the prospective drill at St. 3'uul with no little Interest , Is putting It ( mildly.

For a time moro or Icsu confusion was the roDiilt of the sudden and unexpected resig nations of Captain Foyo and Lieutenant Hayward - ward , but when Captain Taylor araumod the leadership the turn In the tldo of affairs at once came , and now everything Is run- Bilng In perfect harmony.

To the Editor of The Bee : I received an invitation to visit a schoolmate who some years before had mar ried an enterprising lawyer. I found her In a bcuutlful home. She 'Was proud of her noble husband and lovely little daughter. Again , in twelve years , I visited my friend. They had gained wealth and position , but , alas , a dark shadow rested on that home. The daughter , now a bouitlful young woman , was entirely deaf , the mother broken hearted. She tolJ me the snd story of her child's misfortune. She said : "When we realized that our daughter was losing her hearing we took her to the best doctor in the city of New York. After a careful ex amination ho turned to mo and said : 'This child's do.fness Is caused by ono severe blow or by repeated blows on the head. " Looking In my face ho continued , 'Madam , are you In the habit of boxing your child's ears ? ' ' 0 , ' she said , If ho had given mo a deadly blow I could not have felt worse. I had to tell him I had often punished her In that way. 'Well , ' ho said , 'nothing can cure her. ' " Every ono who has the care of children ought to know that the head Is composed of very dellrato organs. How easily the ear drum might bo Injured so that deafness wotiH result. There have been Instances where death has been the immediate result of . \ slight blow on the head. It was re ported In the ncwsiapors a few years ago that a teacher somewhere In the south struck a child on the head and < * aused Its death almost Instantly , We do not wish to have our llttlo o.ies made deaf or feeble- ntlndnd or IdlotH when we send them to the public schools. We would not expect civilized , enlightened , cultured Omaln would tolerate any teacher who for any cause whatever would strike children on the head or pull their ears. Wo think such teachers should suffer n severe penalty for every such oiTonso and forever lose their places as teachers , We hear there are oven In Omaha some teachers who so uhuso children.
