Cupid has not boon the whole thing this
week , though ho has been much In evidence.
Hut the monotony of always preparing
sweetmeats has grown Irksome to oven
Dame Society , to Bay nothing of the effect
on the digestive organs of her devices
after a month of nuch deuce vlnmle. So she
haft prepared a most wholesome and do-
lectnblo menu this week , n regular Halston
model meal , and spiced It with numerous
minor happenings and events. As an ap
petizer she gives the engagement announce
ment of two of Omaha's most popular
belles , n brilliant reception , n promenade
concert , two charming teas , two dainty par
ties and n , card party , with aide dishes of
minor functions nnd Informal entertain
ments to form the main courses , whllo the
uwcets of the dinner nro furnished by n
fashionable wedding ,
Socloly Is becoming moil systematic In
her doings and appoints n time for different
festivities with the regularity of clockwork.
In August , her devotees sought mountain ,
Boa or plain at her command. September
was the appointed tlmo for the tide to turn
Omahaward. In October came , the harvest of
weddings , and with the yellow nnd sere No
vember she brings forth the society buds
to cheer nnd enliven the last days of the
old year. Two more stars will bo added
to society's galaxy nt the ball of the Metro

turo painting , some of her works having
received flattering notices. The other deb
utante , Jilts Heller , will bo especially pop
ular because of her graceful dancing. Sue

year and particularly studious by nature ,
though her attentions are not entirely di
rected In that channel. These young women
will have a surreptitious glimpse Into the
mystic maze of society at the Informal dance
and card pnrly of the club the 1st of No
vember , but the formal debut will not bo
made till the brilliant ball at Thanksgiv
