Tlicro was plenty of good cheer and hearty KOOI ! wishes at the largo reception the hrllllnnt ball , the charming luncheon and the endless number of formal ami Informal dinners. The gnycty nnd clab- ornto Bcalu of the holiday entertainments 1m o been unprecedented and maUu a coiif'd- ' orahlo rso ! In the social thermometer of Omaha. Next week promises another brilliant wcd- cllnR , when Mr. Voss nnd Miss Florence Yates are Joined In holy wedlock at Trinity catncdral Tuesday at high noon. Dame Humor tells of another wedding In the near future among the ultra-fashion iblo net which has been awaited with considerable Interest. "There Is the twentieth broadcloth gown thla afternoon , " remarked a young woman assisting at a brilliant Now Year's reception. "Did you e\er see any material have so great a rage ? Look at that while broadcloth trimmed In bl.ick fur , with the whito- tucked hat with black plumes. Isn't that stunning ? That pink broarteloth with gold lare and white satin Is quite the most at- tractl\o frock here "And , by the way , you should no longer say 'My lady was gowned In such and such material , ' but 'She appeared In a frock of such material. ' It seems to mo the word U not In keeping with the style of dress goods Thcsu beautiful BTft , clinging broad cloths suggest the more dignified word , gown , while the light , bouffnntc mi ussellnes and girlish organdli > .s which arc relegated to the family trunk should be called frocks " "Hut broadcloth has come In with a clear sweep and evident ! } Intends to stay , for e\en the heavy satins and brocadca make faint little apologies for their presence , " I suggested "In the east , and the-same is true of two of the awellest Omaha wed dings , the bridesmaids appeared In broad cloth frocks of white , while the Inevitable pink was quite the proper shade for the maid of honoi. The bildo on each occasion had a smart go-away gown of broadcloth I believe it only remains for some charming society belle to discard the regulation satin wedding gown , and l\ory broadcloth will bs the lion of the hour " "Tor my part , " went on the pretty wearer of the broadcloth , "one has to be good friends with Dame Fashion , of course , but 1 prefer that gorgeous black spangled frock or that pink moussellne , with Its Innumer able roae pleatlngs for n paity gown. The broadcloth seems preeminently a- street or v lilting gown , but there is no accounting for taste. "It makes such a dlfierenco In one's ac tions , too , " fhc continued , " .is well as ap pearance. One cannot lilt about like a fnlry In a tight-fitting broadcloth , nnd 'Miss Caprice' is quite out of the question. The broadcloth gives one an Independent air , a 'touch-me-not' manner and even the at mosphere this nftcrnoon seems a little frigid "Someone had the boldness to snggeht that the Christmas dinner dance lacked the vi vacity of the southern climes , but If there was any stlffne. 3 or lack of gacly it was due to those bioadcloths. How can a man say pretty nothings to a severely classl" gown' Why It Is the endless frills and tendrils that nod and encourage and the glittering sequins that laughably spaikle with gaycty and glvo zrst to the occasion "If the twentl' ' th century brings the broad cloth girl I think It propitious that leap } car follow In it.s wake , for what man could pro pose to ho unresponsive a creature and yet , on the other hand , what man would accept so well , I'm glad my future was decided before broadcloth could Hlmpc my destiny , " nnd she walked over to her "futuic" with so sparkling a countenance that I doubt whether the bioadcloth frock was oven no ticed.

It Is a matter of history thnt Nnpoleon tutu a gourmand , nu inordinate lover of the good things of the table , and history further records that his favorite dish nao fried onions , his death from can"1 ! " of ktomnch Ita \ claimed also , was probably rauKud from his excessive Indulgence of this fondiK'M for the odorous vegetable. The onion Is undoubtedly a wholcfiomo article of food , In fact has many medicinal qualities of value , but It would ha difficult to llnd a moio Indigestible article than fried onions , but the onion does not stand ulouo In this respevt. Any aitlclo of ( cod that U not thoroughly digested becomes a source of disease and discomfort , whether It IKI fried onions or beef steak. The reaeon why any wholesome food 13 not promptly digested Is because the stomach ach lacks ( tome Important clement of diges tion ; tome stomachs lack peptone , others arc deficient In gastric juice , still others lack hydrochloric acid. The ODO thing necfsHHry to do In any cass of poor dlgeotlon Is to supply these ele ments of digestion which the stomach lacks , nnj nothing does this so thoroughly and safely as Stuart's Uspcpsa ! Tablets Dr. nichardfcon In writing a thesis on treatment of dyspepsia and Indigestion , clears his remarks by saying "Tor tlicwo Buffering from acid dyspepsia , shown by sour , watery risings , or for llutulont dys- popsla thown by gas on Ktomacb , cauS ng heart trouble and dltllcult breathing , an well us all other forms of utomneh trouble , tha safest trtfitnuut U to take om > or tvvo of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal I advise them because they contain no harmful drugs , but aiu competed of valu able digestive * ) , which act promptly upon the food eaten.

"It Is really too bad , " ho said , "that there Is no German social organization what ever at present. " The German club recently disbanded was the last lingering remnant of our social life , but thnt too has followed the way of the others. "Hero It Is Christmas time , when In for mer jeers our old Concordla used to glvo ItH annual holiday dnnce , one of the most enjoyable features of the whole social sea son. The Concordln was the last of thoss clubs to give up the ghost , as It survived the Maennerchor. These two societies , al though primarily singing societies , waged ' n fierce rivalry nt one time n fight lo see which could outdo the other In the magnif icence of their balls nnd masquerades The I holiday affairs of both were red-letter events and used to be held at the old Metz hall , i nnd later In the new Gcrmnnla hall , where ] ' Christmas trees were erected with presents for young and old , Today the only Herman - I man society which hns persisted Is the Turnvereln , but that has practically elimin ated all Its social features. "What Is the cause of this" H Is dlfllcult to ay. The chief na 1 i Is that there has been no Influx of high class Germans Into Omaha In recent years , while wo old-timer.s are gradually dropping out. The early Ger man Immigration consisted of the sons and daughters of the best German families , who left the fatherland at great sacrifice to themselves to build up homes here. Thin movement stopped yeaifc ago , and their sons nnd daughters who are growing up , while they continue to speak nnd rend German , feel more American than they do German , | and their social Intercourse Is nil with | Americans It Is to be regretted that our l | ( Icrman societies , In which we all took such delight and pride , have not been kept up , hut I do not see how they could be revived under prracnt conditions. " A New Year's reception was given at the homo of Mis. John L. Webster , assisted by i Miss Webster , during the hours from 3 to 0 A throng of handsomely dressed women j and the presence of many gentlemen made ! the affair ono of the most delightful of the ' day.
