The gay little comedy of society life hag
been enacted In Omaha during the week
Just closed with far greater verve than Is
Usually noticeable during the trying dog
tlajs. Our rapidly approaching cosmopoli
tan life has completed the liveliest week In
August recorded In social annals here.
On Monday evening there was first writ
ten on the week's calendar Miss Amy Bar
ker's Informal party , at which palm readIng -
Ing formed the pleasing feature , and the at-
home of Miss Collins for Miss Elsie Rea-
soner , nt which other fortunes were dis
cussed. The Wbecler-Cady nuptials , and
concomitant events on Tuesday formed the
central figure of the week's pleasures. On
the same day were the beautiful at-home
of Mrs. John H. Kvans and Mrs. Carl Dai-
bach's muslcale. \Vtdnesday the dinner
party of Mrs. W. II. Hanchett and the re
ception of Mrs Draper Smith made a good
pair to draw to. The muslcalo of Mrs W.
\ . Paxton on Thursday was an enjoyable
affair , and the Jaunt of the Riding club on
the same day was none- the less so. The
week was fittingly closed on Saturday by
the pretty tea of Miss Daisy Doane and the
bachelor luncheon of Miss Mae Mount at
the Omaha club.
The jounger set of local society , after a
tnonth's gay whirl , hate been chlcll > en
joying the dulcet pleasures of summer in
ertia during the last week The bojs who
havq recently received their university di
plomas and the girls who arc Btlll In their
teens have betn more or less scattered.
Vacations ha\e taken some to the lakes and
others to the mountains , ha\e left a number
on their front porches and a few In the
cool back parlors with the "not-at-home"
nlgn hung out. Some ha\p cnjojed trips in
private cars , and a few have paid full fare.
But the future leaders in local society are
now beginning to return and a new lease
to their happy bocial life may be expected
In the near future. A coupleof small pic
nics and the trip of the Hiding club were
the only outdoor sports of the week.
The Immediate future promises nothing
fcrllllant. With EO many \lsltors In town

The Board of Fire and Police Commis

as a board did not justify them In making
any special effort to respond to the call
of duty. Only two members were present
and after waiting half an hour the meeting
adjourned for lack of a quorum.
