There was scarcely fiiifilclont evidence of
society last week to relieve the monotonous
quiet of the Lenten 8ta on. One remarked
the other day that there was probably no
other city of Its size In the country where
the society girls so uniformly observed Lent
as In Omaha. This fact neems to have been
made more apparent this year than lu for
mer seasons ; perhapi , because the dear
things had gone so much before Ash
Wednesday that they all needed some rest.
Even the brilliant and tempting attiactlons
at the leading theater during the week could
not Induce some of the good young women
to break their Lenten vow-i. Theio were
othuiH on hand , however , and foremost
among the attractive and well drtesed
young women seen at the theiter during the
week were the se\cral fair v'altors now In
the midst of local iciclpty'clrcleH. There
were a number of small but delightful af-
falia during the week , but none of them
lose to the dignity of bcl.ig termed brilliant.
Among tlu > few noteworthy functions of the
week wcie : Miss lleniiptt's luncheon for
Miss Ursula King of Llttli > Palls , N. Y. ;
Rim. Clarke Colt's chafing dish supper for
the M'nses Cleveland of Uenvor and Jllsa
liarber's novel game and chafing dish party.
The calendar of the debutante presents
nothing very gay for the Immediate future.
With the coming of spring their thoughts
are gladly turning toward outdoor pleasures.
Tim members of the riding club , which pre
sented such an Imposing spectacle on our
streets last autumn , have taken their riding
habits from out the clothes-prcsaM , brushed
them and are now all ready for their first
rldo. It has been quietly whispered about
the Inner circles that the bicycle Is to bo
tabooed this spring.
Next to the equestrian sport the form ol
outdoor pleasure that Is moat likely to en
gage the attention of the buds and those
that have been buds and of all their at
tendant chappies Is golf. The mandate ol
Omaha society Is that during the exposition
year golf shall bo supreme above every other
sport. The belles and the1 beaux are to have
frequent recourseto It , not only for theli
own enjoyment , but In order to properly en
tertain our dear eastcm cousins when thej
come out to see the big show , nnd to demon
strate to them that we on this side of the
Missouri rl\or are not so alow , but that we
know a thing or two ourselves. The links
at Happy Hollow have been put In trim
and It will not bo long before Dame Society
will arise and say "Let the game go on. '
What with the red golfing umbrellas , th <
pretty waistcoats and the dainty sunbonnets
wo are truly promised a pretty sight wher
the girls gather for a golf game1. One ln >
genlnus woman has designed and put Inte
practical shape a dainty sunbonnct for thi
links. This fad started last summer amoip
a select few. The summer girlva
Impressed with the fact that It was good foi
lier hair not to cwear a hat any of toner thar
she could help , and to let the bcneficenl
rays of the sun put In some of their fine
work , to gild her locks with their o > vr
golden reflection. So a few handy maidens
recalling the rhapsodies of the poets ovei
the fascinations of their grandmothers
blushing countenances when seen under thi
brims of their sunbonnets , fashioned a prettj
sunbonnet , which could be worn on the hold
if ao desired , or else hanging down the bad
by the strings fastened under the chin. /
few girls wore them on short blcyslo trip
and this year they are to be worn at got
games.
A debutante not long slnco confided tha
nho was wonderfully glad that society's In
door season was about at an end and tha
the outdoor pleasures were soon to com
mcncc. She said : "A girl Icoks forwan
through many a season to the day when sin
will make her debut , bo 'launched , ' Just llki
a war ship , as some are always fond of expressing
pressing It. She plans her gowns with thi
aid and consent of her mother. Then then
Is work to be done at the house , the list o
guests to bo prepared and so many thing
to attend to. The occasion finally comes
Slin la surrounded bv a lot of other dcbu
tauten who are Just about as nervous as sh
Is and all around are banks of flowers Jus
like a funoral. Of course , one wants to pu
her best foot forwtrd and she Invarlabl ;
docs the exact opposite. The ordeal Is flnall ;
through with and her social career Is dulj
started. Then commence to come the Invlta
tlons for teas and luncheons and dances
Anxious at first to see the men rush for ho
program , she- soon becomes resigned to lit
natural fate , and whenever she Is sklppei
for a single danco'slio regrets that she eve :
became a debutante. Oh , It's hard at first
but I mippofle several seasons of uuch affair ;
tend to make one utterly Indifferent , am
then ono cannot help having a gcod time. '
The dear debutante should not Imagine tha
nhe Is the only one who has her troubles
If ho doesn't tell them to a policeman he
brother has them Just thu samo. Fancy thi
feelings of ono young fellow who recent ! ;
commenced to go out. and flattered hlmsef
on his ability to make pretty speeches at thi
proper time , after this llttlo scene : A swel
noclety girl entered the room bcautlfull ;
Kowned In green. Our young nnn hiatcne !
to greet her. Impressed with her entranc
Ing beauty , and winning to tell her that nhi
looked as bright and radUnt as her gown
thereby complimenting her beauty and he
tasti" , ho exclaimed : "Whj , Miss llud , hov
frewh and green you lock ! " And the nex
day It suowcd.
Wo have all known for a long time tha
there were no more lovely nlrls In this broii
city than those who are diligently stuclylni
at the Omaha High school. Their bright
vivacious and altogether charmluTways havi
liolped to make the High school dances am
other affairs wherti two or thrna of them an
gathered together In the name of their schoo
most Interesting and enjoyable occasions
Hut none of us were qulto prepared for thi
sudden announcement of the elopement am
hasty wedding of ono of the falrent of thi
High school girls and a promising younf
business man of this city , as chronicled b'
The Bee yesterday. To bo sure we had seei
the couple together , especially at the mat
lnees during the winter , and a stunnlni
couple they were- too , but their marrlagi
was something of a startler. It Just goes ti
show that you can't always tell.

HATCHET IIKA1IY TO IIU H.VXOI.KO
rap or iNMiicil li > - the Women' * Hoard
of MiliniKt'i-H IN Out.
The famous Hatchet has made Its appear
ance at last. It has been turned out by the
printers and 1s now In the hands of th <
managing editor , the business manager , tin
circulation manager and all the other man-
agers. The papers for the towns In the stati
will be sent out by express at once and thos <
Intended for circulation In Omaha will bi
distributed Monday.
The patronesses appointed for the several
schools will act as distributing agents foi
subscriptions which were taken by tin
school children. The papers will bo sen
to these patronesses Monday and given bj
them to the pupils who secured the suk
scrlptlons and thus delivered to the sub-
acrlbers. The paper will also be on sale al
all of the principal news stands , th <
proprietors oi these having agreed t <
handle them without the uaual commission
A corps of boys will be enlisted Monday bj
the circulation manager and will thoroughlj
canvass the entire business district of the
city and endeavor to dispose of all the paperj ,
These boys will not teceive any commission
all of the profits from the paper being de
signed to aid In the construction of the
Girls' and Boys' building on the exposition
grounds. The women hope to realize a profli
or about $1,000 on this paper and 'this
amount will be obtained If all are sold.
Typographically , the Hatchet Is a very
handsome publication. The eo\er Is of Ivory
enamelled paper and a novel Idea Is shown
on the front pane of the co\er. There Is
nothing on It to Indicate the name of the
paper or the nature of the contents. All
that appears Is a design of oval shape , with
twenty tiny baby faces peeping out , while
the center Is filled with a larger picture ,
All of these little faces are portraits In half
tone engraving , and the effect Is extremely
pretty and aultable for flaming. Inside , th <
contents are found to bo fully as Inviting a.1
the cover. The style of the paper is VCTJ
neat and artUtla and the work U well done ,
resulting In H 'very handsome publication ,
The readlug WAf i Is well selected , belnp
largely the wqrk of children , but Is devoid
of the air of chHlshness which might be
nntleplated. Portraits cl children ar <
scattered throuBhu the pages and there art
also engravings of the exposition buildings
not omitting the'Glrls' , and Boys' building
which Is shown'tu a handsome cut.
The laiuo ofjVliejpaper was 23,000 copies , ol
which about l4.090havo already been sold bj
subscription. uiTna women expect to dispose
of the remainder ! within a very few days bj
active canvassing and they urge the people
to buy them pnd'tfend ' them to their friend :

City Electrician Schurlg Is considering i
nchemo by which the streets In the business
district may bo Illuminated all through tbi
exposition wltb the funds that have beci
provided for use during the week of th
Ak-Sar-Iicu festivities. He suya that tin
system of stringing Incandescent llghr
along the streets Is at the bes
very unsatisfactory. The temporary con
atructlon that supports tCie Ilglu ,
Is not sufficiently eubstantlal to wlthstan'
the wind , and It U Impossible to get thi
best results by keeping the lltjhts up to tli ,
required csndle power. Ills plan content
plsUti the cvectlcn of aubatrutMl arches eve
the principal Intersection * which will nftor.
a flollil support for the lights and which wtl
etand as long oa they are wanted. The Iroi
motor pole * UKU DOW stand on the atree
corners will furnish iho vertical supports for
the arches. The Utter can bo very Incx-
perulvcly ecus minted of angle ) Iron Meet
with a strip of thin galvanized Iron under
neath to protect the lumpu from the weather.
Mr. StCiurlg suggests that If the business
ewtnblUhmcntft on each corner will provide
the arches the funds appropriated by the
council will be gufllct nt to furnish the lights
through too exposition. The expense of an
arch i each Intersection will bo very llttlo
after It U divided among the various bu l-
less firms In the vicinity. Then the busi
ness district will bo attractively Illuminated
luring the ontlro exposition , and It will ho
, 'ery rosy to add some additional effects dur-
ng Ak-Sar-Ben week. The scheme has not
been fully worked out , but Mr. Schurlg will
obtain bids for the construction of the urchr-s
in order to asesrtaln the exact cost , nnd then
the matter will rent with the business mrn
Interested. It Is believed that the Idea can
bo cuccossfully carried out at a cost that
will allow the down town business concerns
to secure a permanent Illumination In front
of their places of business for a very few
dollars each.

No. 1 ot Knights Kadosh over the remains
ot their brethren , Dr. William 0. Rodgera
and Walter G. Gilbert. The hall was tilled
with Knights of the Temple and Invited
friends of the dead. The caskets were placed
side by side before the dais , each bearing a
single cluster of white- ( lowers and smllax.
At 10:30 : o'clock the doors were closed and
the hall was darkened. An Invisible organ
was heard In a solemn dirge , which preceeled
the entrance of the knights. They wore
swathed In black robes , unrelieved by any
color save the dull glimmer of the crosses
that hung upon their breasts. Kadi carried
n wax taper and these vsero the only Illumi
nation that struggled with the midnight
shadows. A bugle sounded "taps" and as
the dark-robed mourners filed Into line on
cither side of the caskets the choir sang
"Lead , Kindly 'Light. ' " This was followed
by the solemn ritual of the order , made Infinitely -
finitely more Impressive by the hour and the
funereal fllckerlngs of the tapers. The elccp-
toned recitations of the preceptor aud the
subdued responses of the knights were
broken by selections by the choir , the melody
of the funeral music sounding In perfect
harmony with the Impressive character of
the ritual.
It was nearly midnight when the cnrrmony
was concluded. The knights disappeared ns
silently ns they came and then the lights
were turned on and the guests were per
mitted to look for the last time on the faces
of the dead.
