There wan n slight improvement In the
condition of Omaha society lust week. A
few more dancing parties , where Informality
rrlgned supreme , a reception under the
snmo conditions , an engagement announce
ment and the meetings of tlio various card
clubs constitute the week's pleasures.
Society folk , as well ao the musical con
tingency , lire forming In parties to attend
the I'ndcrcwBkl concert nt the capital city.
Possibly the longhaired pianist would not
enjoy the Hpcoch of a clover Otnnha society
girl who expressed her wentlmentB , and I
believe the sentiments of a number of the
nonmuslcal clement If they had the daring
of the aforementioned .young woman. Ono j
dollar and forty cents of her admission
ticket was spent that she might be eecn at
the concert ; the same amount WUH for tt
glimpse of the greatest virtuoso and the re
maining 20 cents to hear the classic pro
gram. The unfortunate part of that ar
rangement In that no division was left for a
sight of the new auditorium , which cer
tainly ought to Inspire some enterprising
capitalists with a desire far such a building
in Omaha.
The domestic felicity of n certain promi
nent Omaha physician was nearly terminated
by the doctor's iovo for a practical Joke , and
If the fates had not been merciful the mill
that grinds divorces might have stopped at
the letter U.
The doctor was enjoying the tempting
viands of the midday meal when his little
daughter came dancing Into the room with
11 bonboii box which she had taken from her
father's overcoat pocket.
"Gundy , mamma , " cried the little one ,
whllo hcpjfathor with a cry sprang forward
to selzo the box.
Hut the brlghtcycd elf eluded him with
pcala of laughter for very joy at the pros
pect of u romp. The doctor looked guilty ,
feigned anger and finally fell back In sheer
despair as the lid dropped from the box
and the perfume of orange blossoms filled
the air. A note fell to the lloor which his
wlfo quickly opened and read , with her
mother reading over her shoulder. The
wlfo turned red and then white , the mother-
in-law was black In the face , but here Is the
letter :
"LOS ANGELES , Cal. , Jan. 11. Dear
Philip : I t-cud you these orange blossoms
as n reminder of the olden golden daya
when wo both were younger. I wonder If
you think of those days as often and as
tenderly as I do ?
"I nm spending the winter In this land
of rcecs and there nro many loving couples
hero on their honeymoon. I never see the
poor young things without sighing and
wondering If they have made- mistake , as
I have. Poor , dear Jack Is kindness Itself ,
tut ho does not and cannot understand ,
"Thank you so much for your Ilttlo girl's
photograph. I ran BCO she Is n little beauty ,
though fiho could not help that. And you
named her Virginia ! I wonder If I could
gneiss why ? Yours devotedly , as ever.
"VlllGLNIA. "
After sufficient agony the doctor burst
forth Into howls of delight and began to
search diligently In his pockets , while his
wlfo wondered whether ho were not a fit
subject for the feeble-minded Institute , and
his mother-in-law know not whether to
attribute his unholy mirth to hysterics ,
guilt or delirium trcmens.
After the doctor had turned his pockets
Inside out and found not the explanation , a
look of blank despair cjmo on his face ,
whllo the righteous wrath of both wife and
mother-in-law came thick and fast upon
his head. Between sobs and stormy tears the
wlfo declared her Intentions to leave the j !
"brute , " while the "brnto , " after cxplana- j '
lions In vain , left the house with the llrin
determination of laying nsldo practical jok
ing forever If ho got out of that scrape.
At the ofllco ho ransacked his desk from
top to bottom. Finally the coveted envelope
emerged from beneath a pile of papers. Hut
the letter explain- : the situation :
"LOS ANGELES , ( Tal. : My Dear Dr. U.
