CUPID KEEPS UP HIS GOOD RECORI Notnlile KimnKt'Mioiifn Announced fo Work Henna Tnkc tn n ( iood Dunl of Attention n'nil AIToril Home AVIiiiK-Hinnc Ulvurdncniviit. The week that Included the festival c the turkey nnd foot ball was not tnarkc In Omaha society by any events of surpass Ing brilliancy. There were , perhaps , mot eoclnl affairs than have been recorded re several weeks past. The hymeneal list wo especially lengthy. The activity of Cupl while tbo mercury seeks to play about th lower woodwork of the thermometer , an the streets are blockaded with snow that wo once white , goes to show that It Is nc merely In the springtime that the fanry t young gentlemen Is turned In the dlrectlo of the little god. The ono engagement announced during th week that hai caused moat comment an complimentary remarks Is that of Miss Paul iae Lowe to Lieutenant William L. Murph of thii Twenty-fourth Infantry , U. S. / The young woman Is the daughter of th late General William Wlrt Lowe , ono < the pioneers of Omaha. She Is extreme ! popular among a wldo circle of friends an has caused considerable regret by her ( k cllnatlon to go out Into society during th last few seasnin. Lieutenant Murphy Is West Pointer from Council Bluffs , In. , wh saw active service during the late war. II nerved with credit In the Cuban catnpalg * nd participated In the battles of San Jua and El Cnney. He U nt present home o a leave of absence , his regiment being stn tloned nt Fort Douglas , Utah. The dat of the marriage has not yet been announce ! Omaha society did not rally to the sur port of Its favorlto foot ball eleven o Thanksgiving day In any great number The stormy weather and the removal < the game across the river were equally rt sponslble for the adjournment of seven parties that had been planned. Those wh did pin on their big white "mums" and re carnations nnd traveled eastward to tli big match where In a measure rcwarde < They saw nn exciting game. The fact tht It was poorly played did not Interfere wit the enjoyment. Your little society girl doe not worry her head about the fine points t the game. If her team only keeps ahca her cup of Joy Is fille < l. Of course sh6 ws disappointed at the finish , after beln worked up to a frenzy over Nebraska' ' plcndld chance to win , but she was nt ashamed to carry the scarlet nnd the creai on the homeward Journey. The coming week Is going to bo a ga one. With the quietude that has provallc during the last week the devotees of soclct are well prepared to go through the whl ; of teas , dinners , receptions and dance that are carded for the next few days. , quarter of a dozen buds will make ffie appearance to add their grace nnd charm I the remaining functions of the season. C tbo three debutantes , Miss Besslo Towlo wl ibo.the first of the week , on Tuesday. Hi debut will bo followed by that of the Mlssc Eva Kennard and Lydla Mooi on Thursday.

The person who adds a now word to tl English language Is as much a , public beni ( actor as the man who makes twa blades < grass grow where on grow before. . In tl case of slang some people may disagree , bt that Is neither hero no there. In any even the word "stunt" has drifted In from tl east more or less recently. The word "stunt In Itself Is a "stunt" because It Is som < thing now nnd out of the ordinary. Tl person who has It In hU vocabulary hi something that not every one else ha Society has to bo amused and It Is cot stantly looking for now stunts , whether is a now figure In the German or the Mlc way plllow-dox , A popular Omaha young woman , coi stantly on the lookout for stunts with whlc to make cards to her llttlo affaire song ] after , has caught an Idea from the talk i the town and Is going to try a now stunt I the way of a bean party. Everybody ! town DOW has a notion that they kno more about beans , though It may be thi the people who don't know beans are tl ones who think they do. In the bean party there will be as mat bean jars as there are guests. Each pe son takes one guess nt each par. The Ja are to be all shapes and sizes , just to mat It Intereitlng. Ono young man , who is graduate of a school of engineering , hi used his descriptive- geometry and claims have worked out a formula that will n fall , If they will let him measure the d mentions of the jars. But , In order to pr vent him from carrying off all the prize measuring will not be allowed. Those wl make the best guess on the greatest numb of Jars will receive prizes , then the Ja will bo distributed to be counted and tl ones who count the most beans In the ehor eit time will be rewarded. Something unique In the way of rcfresl tnents Is promised. The hostess will pro ably use coffee beans In making the coff and vanilla beans with which to flavor tl Ice cream. A certain fruit much prized Boston Is to be served In such an appetlzti manner that Is Is claimed that the lett "r" will be permanently extracted from tl enunciation of the western belles who a tend.
