Despite the estimate ordinarily placed
upon the before dinner gathering ly the
average. society man, the debut reception
of the week past and those scheduled for
the near future have made the men wish
that they were eligible to afternoon affairs.
It haa been many a season since so many
daughters of such prominent families have
been brought out and society seems unable
to do enough In honor of these girls.
Miss Faith Totter, daughter of Mr. and
Mr. I'hillp Potter, and Miss Jeanne Wake
field, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John A.
Wakefield, are to be Introduced within the
fortnight, and besides the receptlcaa to
be given by Mrs. Potter and Mrs. Wake
field, there are to be numerous other
gathrrlnga that will keep society busy.
Evelyn Dear: Of all the things with
which a girl has to contend nowadays
and there are plenty of them, too these
college fraternities are the most trying.
Really, Evelyn, I for one never could see
the consistency of an organization of a lot
of people who have nothing In the world
In common but some aecrets and a pin
that' Is as devoid of beauty as It Is of
sense. That sort of thing may be all well
enough while one is at college, but when
one la through with it and has gone Info
society I think It Is awfully Inconsiderate
to keep dragging in one's fraternity and
with It a lot of people that any girl knows
right well have no claims upon her, ex
cepting that they belong to the same
"frat." Its awfully aggravating not to
be Invited to a house party or a luncheon
or something else given by one'a best
friend. Just because one doesn't happen
to "belong," and then when one resents
being left out, as she has every right to
do, to be looked at as though the cause
for offense was all on the other side and
be told that the affair was "Just for the
frat girls." And the men, Evelyn, are
even worse than the girls, and It's come
to rfuch a pass that unless a girl wears
one of those enamel or some other kind of
ugly pin that doesn't mean anything ex
cept to members, she Is really looked upon
as incapable of appreciating half tho larks
that people have nowadays. Nobody ever
thinks of asking her to go to a foot ball
game, and If she does get to go, she Is
sure to be mortified to death by having
somebody undertake to explain the game
to her, Just as though any girl didn't
know about foot ball. It really take most
of the pleasures from the anticipation of
Thanksgiving, for all the college folks will
be at home then, and the girls who don't
"belong" might as well make up their
minds to being second. If not third, to
even those who have nothing else but one
of those horrid pins to recommend them to
the favor of those who will be doing things
then. Tour own KAROLYNB.
The season for the afternoon gathering,
the table de bote dinner and the week's-
end hop at the County club closed, on laat
Saturday evening with a large gathering of
the fashionables who made up numerous
dinner parties and danced until very late,
Improving their last opportunity of enjoy
ing the club until next spring that Is, tho
lust general gathering, tor there are ever

The patronage of so large a gathering of
the smart people at the initial serving of
the table d'hote dinner at the Omaha club
on Monday evening promised to Insure to
this institution the favor that has In months
past been shown the Saturday evening din
ner at the Country club and. Incidentally,
to aupply society, in a measure at least, a
substitute for those week-end gatherings
that, now, that they are over for a time,

AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE.
Has it ever been your unhappy lot to be
told by your physician that you must go to
a hospital and submit to an operation? If
so, you remember with what dread and
shrinking you awaited the day when you
must endure the knife. The present day
surgeon appears to be possessed by a
mania for operating, especially In cases of
hemorrhoids or piles, and while the greater
number of the profession do not recommend
this "last resort" unless they honestly be
lleve It necessary, the fact remains that
muoh needles operallag la done, and the
patient put to much expense and suffering
tor whatT To obtain a possible temporary
relief; these words are used advisedly, be
cause In nine cases out of ten the adlctlon
returns and the patient is Just where b
started from. Oftentimes he could be cured
much more simply and easily by the use of
such a remedy as the Pyramid Pile Cure
this haa come to be recognized as the best
remedy on the market for the painful dls
rut named, and the druggists now sell
mora of It than all other pile remedies com
bined. The writer personally knows peopl
who were afflicted with the worst form of
bleeding and protruding piles and who were
permanently cured by the use of Pyramid
Pile Cure. In every one of these cases the
attending physician bad assured the suf
ferer that only by an operation could he
rid himself of the disease; so much for
the infallibility of the doctors. This remedy
which la sold by all druggists at the low
price of fifty coots, is in suppository form
Is applied directly to the parts affected, and
perform Its work quietly and painlessly.
Tb Pyramid Drug Co.. atarsnall. Mich
will mall free to any address a book tellln
all about pilea or hemorrhoids, their cause
and cure.
A auggestlcs s offered that If the reade
la afflicted, or knows anyone who la, t hi
book be sent for, aa It will be found invalu
endall. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Reed and Mr.

Bertie the Lamb is no stranger to Omaha,
but he never came accompanied as he did
last night, nor surrounded by companion
more welcome to hi host. In his revival
of "The Henrietta" Mr. Robson ha out
done any of hi former efforts, and, sur
rounded a he 1 by the best company he
haa ever brought to Omaha, his perform
ance last night will long be remembered
by those who were present as one ot the
best things they ever enjoyed at the
theater. In former time Mr. Robson has
apparently been content to present tbe good
old Bronson Howard comedy for laughing
purpose only, overlooking or ignoring it
great dramatic possibilities. In the present.
Instance It seems to have been the star'
study to throw into the high light the
really tragic features of the piece and,
without subordinating the humor, to give
more emphasis to the strong love story
that lies In the woof of tbe fabric from
which the piece was wsought. Thus, the
great scene at the end of the second act,
where Bertlo allows himself to be forced
Into a false position and assumes the onus
of his brother's sin, the sextette Involved
by tbe action of the play last night worked
up one of the most forcible climaxes that
ever compelled applause, and were well
rewarded by most hearty curtain calls. And
this is only one instance ot the excellence
of the whole performance. Indeed, those
who remained away because they have seen
the piece so often will never know what
they have missed, while those who went
saw "The Henrietta" as they never saw
it before, at least In Omaha.
Mr. Robson's own work needs no com
ment. Mr. Leigh was a much better foil
for blm as Lord Arthur Trelawney than as
Dromlo ot Epbesus. Miss Mayo has a good
part In Rose Vanalstyne, and does it well,
while Miss Barry Is no less acceptable in
a Howard part than she proved in a
Shakespearean. Mr. Lane enacted the dif
ficult rolo ot Nicholas Vanalstyne, Jr.,
with much taste, carrying oft his strong
scene in the thlra act wttn gooa eneci.
Edwin Holt as Nicholas Vanalstyne. sr.,
and Mr. Keefe as Rev. Dr. Murray Hilton
easily realize the best conception of the
not overly scrupulous money king and the
clerical hypocrite whose worldly training
has not been equal to bis worldly ambition.
In every way the cast Is worthy of the
efforts of the star to revive Interest In
the good American comedy. The Boyd
theater was fairly well filled last night, and
the piece was most thoroughly enjoyed by
all.
