SOCIETY IN A DIZZY WHIRL Elaborately Arranged Receptions Mark the Week Just Qonei CUPID GETS IN MIS WORK JUST THE SAM I i Lnck of Dntiren I'rovri No llnmllcnt In HIP Mltlp ( Joil VnlPtitliip'ii njnml It * I'rnlinlilP OliNi-rvnncr. A. number ot large receptions appear 01 the society calendar for the last week , an It would bo dimcult Indeed to name the on * that Is entitled to rank first. The reception I ot Mrs , William A. 1'axton , Miss Grate Allen and 'Mrs ' , Charles S. llaymond were espe dally elaborate affairs , and arc deserving j of some praise. A number of card partlc and other nmullcr functions helped to 111 In the week very merrily. There were n largo dances for the beaux and belles t glldo across clashed floors and plight thcl I troth In cosy and Inviting nooks , but Cupid I openly ployed a few cards himself In sue 1 ccssfully bringing off ono wedding and It ! announcing another for the birthday annl I versary of the father of his country. How j many little games during the week Cupl played surreptitiously Is not a matter fo i publication. What with dancing parties announced by the Cotillion club of the younger ect. by th j Dancing club of the young married folk am [ by the rejuvenated Monday Night club which Includes members of both of the othc * clubs , the coming week should affoid cnougl dancing for even the gayest ot the debutant or her friends. The renaissance of the Mon 1 day Night club will be a pleasing fcatur of the wcolc In society. That the dance o Thursday evening will bo the flrst , last am J only appearance of the club this ) season I 5 sulllclunt Incentive for making the dance a f great success. It Is only to bo regretted tha I the management of this dance has decldei i to put up the bars against the denlzc'iis o the other side of the river , for Omalia society and nearly all Its members arc Indebted to 1 Council DlulTs' society for Invitations to I many splendid affairs thcro this season. ! Wo have all noticed the army of fanclfr ' love tokens In the tCiop and store window , during the lost week. If anyone Is unaware ot the close approach of St. Valentino's < My ho ( for she could not overlook It ) had bette , bo up and doing cro It Is too late , for BO i surely as he allows the day to slip by with i out sending thu proper token , so surely wll ho later learn of i cojlneas on the part o i the dear creature to whom ho had con 1 templated giving his envelope-opener am t lpy ring. Ajx-opca the display ot the sea ( fion'a tokens , many of them , It must be con fcssed , are Ifio same old valentines thit the grandfathers and grandmothers of toiMy usci to Bond each other when they were sweet hearts , the same lace paper cuplds , darts doves and hearts. They were thought t- bo quite womlcrful ta olden days , and spe clal attention woe paid to the words am ' meaning ot the love couplet underneath al ' the decoration. The modern man and mal' may exchange valentines , but they uro o somewhat different character , and any kliu of a gift presented February II Is a valcn tine. There Imvo been and will bo valentine fairs and sales for charitable purposes , bu the real celebration will come Monday. Any gathering Is apt to be characterized by red the valentine color , ind by all sorts of things In heart shape and the old-fashioned valen tines for favors. There has been such a demand mand for appropriate articles that ono can find all kinds of china diaacs , glnes dishes cake pans , cooklo tins , baskets , powder boxes , candy boxes , fans , cups and saucers plates , and , In fact , almost anything In heart shape. The confectioner will make candles and the caterer cakes and Ice crcan in the designs. Even sandwiches arc cu heart shape. Flowers for gifts are sslcctei for their meaning , and of all the days ot the year this Is the ono when a young man may express a tender sentiment for a girl when ho has not dared to approach "on the hear side. " There are Invitations out for a num ber of parties for St. Valentine's day and evening. The latest fad of a band of fashionable Philadelphia women Is to form a laughing class for a Lenten diversion. They wll meet once a week and have a lesson In volco melody from an elocution teacher. "Gig gles" are to be trained out of existence , whllo the high-pitched tone common to the nervous woman Is to bo transformed lute a scale of musical notes. The teacher of this class that Is to bo has decided Ideas on the laughing question. She assorts thai most women "chortle llko the Jabberwock" of which the late Lewis Carroll wrote , and the musical laugh Is as potent In effect as the heroine of John Oliver Hobtoes' "Bundlo of Life , " whoso volco was so slrcncsquo that when "sho babbled of brlckdust ono thought of lutestrings. " Iloro Is the description ot a Dickens party that recently occurred In a city about 1,000 miles from Omaha , as given by ono of the young women who attended It : "Last Saturday evening a few of us were Invited to spend an evening with Dickens.
