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

of the little god.
The ono engagement announced during th

The young woman Is the daughter of th

The coming week Is going to bo a ga

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

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

graduate of a school of engineering , hi

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

Something unique In the way of rcfresl
tnents Is promised. The hostess will pro

and vanilla beans with which to flavor tl
Ice cream. A certain fruit much prized
Boston Is to be served In such an appetlzti
