Siuitn ClniiB filled Dame Society's stockIng -
Ing full to overflowing" with the goodies of
life. If that young lady did not need bromo-
Bcllzer every morning It was a marvel.
Tlicro wcro Christmas dlnnera galore ,
luncheons , dances , cnrd parlies and every
kind of an entertainment crowded Into the
days and nlghU. The premier affair of the
week was the CuilahyCowlnvcddliiR and UH
concomitant eventH. The cotillion was elali-
orate In every detail us was also the Christ
inas dinner and the dance following at For
est Hill. Morand's assembly was thu scene
of several brilliant dancing parties.
N'ext week'H chronicled events show a
Blight lull In tfio festivities , though two
elegant receptions and a brilliant ball nro
promised.
How should they know he was a married
man ? I'lty it Is that men are not marked
"engaged" by a sparkling solitaire or Homo
other contrivance. It all came about this
way. The Illustrated Iee ! displayed portraits
traits of some of the most prominent young
buolnora and professional men of the city
In last Sunday's edition. Hl.s was among
them. Hamlsomo clear-cut features that
would appeal to most "disengaged" young
women and particularly to Impressionable
college girls.
One of three little maids from school In
the privacy of her own dainty boudoir gazed
and gazed .again at this particularly fasci
nating physiognomy. How shu admired a
broad , low forehead and hair parted In the
middle. That Greek nose and firm chin she
Jalrly adored. And the eyes ! Oh , the eyes !
Now brother Harry must get acquainted
with the "adorable , " and In the meantime
the llttlo maid took her scissors ; clip , clip ,
a little fitting and the "adorable" was look
ing out at her from the daintiest of gold
chatelaines. Then came another gazing sea
son which foreboded evil for the college
man who sent her allcgrettls and took her to
the proms.
She gava a little start ns the time caught
her eye. Half after three and she had prom
ised to meet the other two little maids at
one of their homes early in the afternoon.
Ono long , tender gaze and she snapped the
case and fastened the watch at ber belt.
But the consciousness that he was with her
and would bo forever made her little heart
beat faster.
Of course Uio girls must not know. She
would bo careful not to open her watch.
The three little- maids met with many klsacs
and embraces. Their tongues kept pace with
the flying time. As the shadows of evening
drew on one little maid exclaimed :
" 1 must go , girls ; I wonder what time "
opening her watch and quickly closing It
again.
"I 0 why , It isn't going. What time Is
U , dear ? " to another llltlo maid.
"Oh , it Isn't late ; but why , I forgot to
wind , mine this morning. Is your's running ? "
to the third llttlo maid while the evening
shadows concealed the suffused blushes.
"Tho mainspring is broken , " said the
third little maid lamely.
"No , sis : I had It fixed for you yesterday , "
said the big college brother from the li
brary.
"Oh , come , " said the other two little
maids , with revived spirits.
"There's a man in the case , " shouted one.
"Let's HCO him , " cried the other. And
then a foot ball scrap ensued and all the
watches somehow came Into the hands of
the big college brother.
Then there were pleadings not to open
them. There were tearful entreaties and
bribes of cigars , confections , pillows any
thing ! but to no avail. Kach watch was
held up to view and each displayed the same
masslvo brow ; the game adorable Greek
nose ; the same altogether lovely hair and
the same care-frco expression , "so unlike a
married man , " as one little maid walled.
llut the big college brother offered to
Introduce the "adoralile's" wife to the lit
tle maids if they doubted his statement.
And now the big college brother Ins only
to mention the subject of married men and
three llttlo maids full pleadingly at his
feet.
The participants In a swell wedding last
week have been whispering among them
selves the question , Who Is It ? It happens
MRS. ANDERSON'S BABY.
You couldn't convince Mrs. Anderson
tlint Cupid ever was as pretty as her
little Rirl.
Mrs , II. C. Anderson is veil known in
South Uritnin , Conn. , where she lives.
She is very enthusiastic about Dr. Pierce's
I'avorite Prescription although no more
to than thousands of other women who
have been simi
larly benefited.
She writes :
"I > n ring the
fii-ft month uf the
period , of KChtn-
lion I coutd not
keep anything on
inv htomadi. I
went to bed Hie
jSth of June and
llCVei got lip lilt

hut with little benefit. I bc ati to take your

watonly in li.irii tabor abi ut IK > liournml was

the doctor with me nt all , ju.tv \ \ nurse uiul two

mid lived just about two months. Thl.i 1-ifct baby
| s a plump and healthy ns any mother couM
wish. She U about three week's old now and is
gaining in flesh every day. "
Mothers who suffer undue twin prior to
or succeeding the baby'i : birth are invited
to consult Dr. K. V. Pierce , by letter , abso
lutely without charge. The great success
which has attended the careful methods
pursued by Dr. Pierce , has caused imita
tors to spring up , who make oilers of free
advice , which they are not competent to
give , not being physicians , when you
are invited to "write to a woman , " ask
the simple question , "Is this womana ,
physician ? " You will find that ahe is
not , and does not , and dares not claim
to be , a physician. To offer such advice
is deceitful. To receive it is dangerous- .
Prospective mothers should send for a
free copy of Dr. Pierce's great 1,000
page book the ' 'Common Sense Medical
Advisr. " A cony in paper-covers will
be sent to any address on receipt of 21
one-cent stamps to pay cost of mailing
only ; in cloth-binding 31 stamps. Ad

that one of the party volunteered to stand
at the door and Inspect the cards as pro-
denied by the Invited guests with a scrutiny
that would keep out uninvited Intruders. He
stood there mechanically receiving the white
pasteboards , Just as ho would have done In
taking tickets at a theater , without looking
at the people who presented them. One
unaccompanied woman came up without a
card.
"Cards , please ? " asked the accommodating
young man.
"I have no cnrd , " came the answer.
"Xo otto Is permitted to go In except tlioso
with cards. "
"Well , 1 am a relative of the groom. "
At that moment the card-taker elevated
hla eye and recognized the mother cf ono
of the necessary parties to the ceremony anil
apologies naturally followed ,
Uut they arc still asking , Who Is It ?
Ono young Omaha society man , eo the
story goes , received a Christmas present
which ho Is not exhibiting .In piiblb. This
yc-ung tnan , who , by the way , move. ? In
the highest circles , prides himself upon all-
round good-fellowship and thinks he I *
licensed to do as Romans do when he Is
In Homo. H happens ho was meandering
Up Sixteenth street before the holidays and
happened upon an acquaintance whom ho
would not have Invited to the cotillion or
the dinner dance. HP also happened to
stroll by an Itinerant photographer , who
was just mean enough to snap-shot him as
ho passed along. A handsomely mounted
print from the negative found Its way Into
big Christmas stocking , much to his sur
prise , the figures appearing so distinctly
that he could not mistake them. Nobody ,
of course , would know anything about this ,
were It not for an Inquisitive sister who
wanted to know whose picture ho had , al
though naturally enough her InqulBltlvcness
has not yet been satisfied.
