"If I were going to announce my engage
ment I'd wait awhile till things cooled off
a-blt , " remarked a prominent society girl
the other day. Her friends agreed with
her that matrimonial adventures bad been
coming along with unusual alacrity In
Omaha recently. They also told her that
If she waited rfwhllc her announcement would
attract lots moro atttcntlon than If it wcro
mingled with the others. This Is really
given as the reason why one young society
woman will not announce her engagement
until Christmas week , and a couple of more
are scheduled for early in the nuvv year.
But you can't nlwajs tell. So what's the
use ?
Cupid ha3not ( been the whole thing by a
great deal , though his manifestations have
been numerous of late. The debutantes are
pressing tbo brides-elect , and the brides-
that-are-to-be , pretty hard for first places In
the line whcro they all stand up with a
Glbsoneaquo pose , shako hands up In the
atmosphere and smilingly receive the con
gratulations of their frclnds nnd relatives.
The b'anks of flowers all about them , with
cut pieces on the mantel , forcibly remind
ono of moro solemn occasions , but she
speedily forgets It when she catches the
bright faces of the buds that are to take
society by storm.
"You'll get all that's a-comln' to you ,
and a whole lot more before you get
through , " was the timely salutation ex
tended to ono of the debutantes of the last
week by a girl who has run through the
whole gamut of society affairs. And she
ought to know , for the few seasons that
ehe has helped to enliven have been up to
the limit , and she has never been accused
of being retardatlvo. It was.a curious wel
come for an old girl to hand out to a bud ,
but "It's proper , so it goes. "
The debutantes who were formally pro-
Rented during the last week came In pairs.
There were two pairs , and they were all
queens. No wonder Dame Society felt rich.
What a band ! Which one of the four was
the queen of hearts Is a matter of futurities ,
or will be answered by the sporting editor
in the regular department of questions and.
answers. No answers by mall.
Asldo from the brilliant coming-out par-
tics given In honor of Misses Marie Crounse ,
Bessie Towlc , Lydla Moore and Eva Ken-
nard there were during the week several
notable receptions. That of Mrs. Wilhelrn ,
in honor of Mrs. George H. Palmer , was
ono of the largest affairs of the season.
Tho'star event of the week for the upper
segment of the society circle was the double -
blo bill presented to a largo audience on
Wednesday. The eight dinner parties nerved
to blocks of eight and ten ten persons wcro
beautiful affairs throughout , and the dance
nt the. homo of Miss Kountzo which fol
lowed was a magnificent occasion , well sus
taining the reputation of the hostess as an
entertainer.
During the coming week there will be a
number of small affairs. The Cotillion club
will make its bow for the winter season
at a\ party to bo given at Morand's hall.
The Murphy-Lowe nuptials on Thursday at
high noon will attract quite a number of
the many ( rlcnds of the contracting parties
from both sides of the river.

The Pacific coast forests n e not "Inex
haustible far from It but , with proper
use , and care , savs the Engineering Maga
zine , they should bo equal to the future
needs of homo and foreign consumption.
The forests now standing are mature and
are not bettered by not being cut. At least
90 per cent of the cut-over lands are of ab
solutely no value for agricultural purposes.
They uro adapted only to timber growing1.
Moreover , the native species. If protected
from tire , are , ns a rule , readily and quickly
reproduced. The lumber Industry Is u legit
imate and necessary business , despite cer
tain sentimentalists ; moreover , If properly
managed , its future h.is more in store for
the Pacific coast than all that her cola
fields have yielded.

" .Sono | > " that I-'ulled.
"I began o\cr In Kansas when things were
wUd and booming out there , " relates the
veteran newspaper man In the Detroit Free
Press. "I V.US as ambitious as a society
belle with a rl\al and there wasn't any
chance I wouldn't take to score a scoop.
"There was a big murder trial on about
twenty miles back In the county. The man
who had been murdered was a wealthy , pop
ular ranchman and the whole community
was awaiting the outcome ot the trial with
the greatest expectancy. Ono evening at 0
o'clock the jury \s'as eeut out to deliberate
and to decide the fate of the prisoner at the
bar , At H o'clock the judge announced that
he would wait no longer , but would convene
court In the morning and see If the jury had
agreed. The other reporters scattered. I
eat on the court houie steps wondering if
there was not eorae way In which I might
Immortalize myself.
"Anyone to ha\e ecen me running to the
hotel a few minutes later would ba\c
thought I was crazy or going for a doctor.
I bought a box of One cut , opened It , placed
a note Inside , fixed the thing up to look as
though It bad ne\er been tampered with ,
hurried back and Induced a deputy to pata
the tobacco In to Bill Thompson , a special
friend of mine. At 1 o'clock a note fluttered
from the jury room. Ton minutes later I
was riding like wild for the odlcc. I dashed
through town at a Paul Ilevcro gait , sprang
from the saddle and just stopped to speak
with a man In his shirt sleeves , his face
daubed with printers' ink. 'How Is It ? ' ho
