The Nash theater purty of Tuesday evon-
) ng so scintillated with sparkllnB brilliancy
that all other events turned a sickly hue In
contrast. This unique form of entertainment
wan the llrst of Its kind In Omaha social
circles and tlio remilt was so successful that
undoubtedly lliu "pi ef erred set" will have
Another , star lo hitch their wagon to. The
last of the prc-Lcntcn season will bo spent
In a dl/7y whirl of dances , card parties ,
luncheons timl dinners
There Is a good story alloat which piovcs
the old adage that the way to a ninii'o
lieart IH through his stomach. Recently a
young man has come to Omaha who o flb- !
noncHfiuo appearance and devoted alls have
vvon miiny a algh from Omaha maidens. Hut
nlns for the Highs , for If the stars read
aright the voting man Is already rushing
toward his fate , a dark-eyed Kentucky bellu
who Is spending the winter In Omaha.
Ono of Iho voung man's erstwhile friends
who , since leaving her native heath hai become -
como a charming Omaha tnation , decided to
liavo the young gentleman to dinner party
to meet a few of his old frlend . Accord
ingly the young woman called his 'phono
number nntl this Is the conversation which
ensued.
"Hullo , is Mr. 1 Krecd there' "
"Yes , thin is he , " in tonea of severity ,
Tor the spirit of Mr. Hyde wra lord high
executioner during business hours ,
"Well , this Is Mrs. Blank. "
"Who ? "
"Mrs. Blank. "
"Ob , yes , well , I can't let you have that
house rent any cheaper , it IB the cheapest "
"House ienf" como back the offended
answer. "Never said a word about house
rent. I am Mrs. Blank and I wished to have
jou to a llttlo Informal dinner to moot n
few of your old friends tomorrow evening. "
Now our young friend had not foi gotten
the teachings of his alma mater that In
analysing a sentence not thoroughly under
stood to look for the biibject. Consequently
the most prominent word wnh "dinner , " the
subordinate thoughts "tho name of the
hostess , " "her place of residence , " "old
friends , " were easily disposed of The main
point was dinner and quickly Dr. Jckyll
knocked out Mr. Hyde In one round and in
u volco radiant with sunshine responded :
"i shall be delighted to como , I assure
you , but but who is this , ploaeo ? There is
bomothlng wrong with the 'phone , I fear. "
"Mrs. B-1-n-n-k "
"Oh , thank jou , count on me. "
A look that harmonized with his hostess'
name spiend over hl countenance. Quickly
Jio culled Central for the 'phono number. He
found the name In the 'phone hook Still no
nigh of recognition on his face. Ho betook
himself to the directory.
"Mm. Blank , street. Hy Jove ! that's
Just across the street from my boarding
jilnco. Don't know her , but 1 shall glvo her
the opportunity of getting acquainted , " and
Vifclons of more dinners arose.
At C.30 our young friend presented him-
Belt at the door looking his hnndbomcfct In
drcHs-sult nnd boutonnlcre of violets.
There was a start almost Imperceptible
ns the hostess laughingly asked If her face
were not more familiar than her name.
Somewhere In the distant past he had heard
fcho married perhaps.
"Mr. Dl Kreed , will vou take MM Hello
cut to dinner ? " nnd all went meiiy as a
inanlago bell.
