The Lav ! the Lobster.
Albert Lee In "rnurt Bet.
The lobular la a kind of bird.
Concerning which jrou may hare heard.
lie dwell beneath the era;
He haa a tall, but has no wings;
I don't think that he ever sings.
But crawl moat gracefully.
Now. once a lobeter, young; and green.
Who'd never seen a soup tureen.
Came scrambling through the purf ;
A maiden, who wae standing there,
Plrk'd up that foolish young Inbstalr,
And took him on the turf.
The maiden to the lobster eald,
"I'll tike you out and paint you red,
I II give you a hot time!"
The lobeter thought t hie would be great.
And did not reaJlce till late
Ilia Ignorance aubllme.
The lobeter eald It would be fine
To have eome supper and some wine;
He thought he wae a rounder.
The maid, though, knew her Utile trick;
Bhe got him In hot water quick.
And left him there to flounder.
Bhe ripped the lobeter up the beck.
And gave hla ekull a lusty crack,
Then roasted him quite well.
And when ehe'd got all that there
To get out of that lobeter' claws.
She threw away the shell.
I'm eure that no one well can fall
To grasp the moral of this tale
1 It' very plain to aee. ,
A lobeter U a lobster now.
He Is a lobster anyhow,
And will forever be.
Contrary to all precedent, that Is, within
the last few years,' since the winter holl
ais have been so largely monopolised by
the college people. It was the married
folks and society generally that dominated
the Thanksgiving week doing Instead of
the Junior members of the family, who
were privileged to come home from school
for a few days. The week was replete
with affairs of more than ordinary pre
tentiousness and the holiday spirit seemed
to be generally abroad. It was. In fact,
In keeping with the scale that society
seems to have adopted this fall, and that
It Is to be hoped It will retain. '
Of course, "everybody" attended the foot
ball game on Thursday afternoon except
ing those who went down to see the Lln
ooln game and that evening there were
supper 'parties af a more or less formal
character In scores of homes, composed of
the remnants of the afternoon "crowds."
This naturally determined tbs evening,
especially as there was nothing on of espe
cial consequence.
The cotillion at the Country club on
Wednesday evening was perhaps the most
talked-of affair of the week, and such a
hit did It make with the fashionables that
Its frequent repetition Is promised. The
club house, aside from its location, affords
a most Inviting place for gatherings of this
kind, and now that the season has come
when there Is no excuse for members going
out there, except upon Invitation, those
who would do things a little out of the
ordinary are looking to the Country dub
as the most satisfactory place hereabout
for giving things.
The week started well with a large at
- tendance at the Omaha club dinner on
Monday evening, and up until Saturday
'evening there was a round of dinners, re
ceptions, luncheons and card parties. '
This week's calendar Is a repetition of
last week's, and. In fact, the time well up
to Christmas Is engaged for smart func
tions. Attention Is called to the announcement
that, beginning this week, The Bee' will
chronicle social eventa as they occur In-
stead of at the week's end, aa formerly,
the Sunday column to be reserved as a
resume of society In Its more general
aspect.

Prominent among the week'a gatherings'
ana reputed aa the prettiest party of the
year waa the cotillion given at the Country
club on Wednesday evening by Mr. and
Mr. Luther Kountie and Mr. and Mr.
Harry Wilkin. With Its exceptional pos
sibilities for the unusual, the club house
was made even more attractive than or
dlnarily. A great log fire blaxed in the fire
place, lending a weird uncertainty to the
rows of pumpkin lanterns that ranged
across the high mantel above. The win
dow were hung with Navajo blanketa and
Oriental rug and many another touch wa
added suggestive of the warmth and the
aeason. Perched on the balcony railing
above the hall waa a huge turkey holding
In hi bill festoons of bright colored crepe
paper that extended to tha end of the
gallery. At either end wa a paper cannon,
from which were (hot at the close of the
evening a shower of confetti. The figures,
without exception, were unique, many of
them being entirely new, and the favora
were correspondingly appropriate and at.
tractive. There were thirty couplea present
and It waa after midnight when the party
returned to the cltyx
Especially Interesting because of Its oc
casion and lta personnel was the luncheon
given on Friday by Mrs. H. 8. Jaynes at
her home In Kountxe place for a score of
young women who contribute much to the
Interest of the affairs of the young set.
The luncheon had been announced as com.
plimentary to Miss Ruth Bryan of Lincoln,
who has been Miss Herberts Jaynes' guest,
but this fact only gave added Interest to
tha affair, aa It was generally suspected
that the real occasion of the luncheon wa
the announcement of Mlsa Jaynes' engage
ment. The table was arranged In abape of
a T and very almply though effectively
trimmed in .green and white. Two low
mounds of' white chrysanthemums and a
third of Narcissus were arranged at In
tervals and connected with ropes of smtlax,
the candelabra In delicate green and white
shades completing the table trimming, with
tha exception of tha place cards, which
were small blank pieces of cardboard,
somewhat to tha mystification of all. When
all had been seated there waa a pause In
anticipation of the expected announcement,
but to the surprise of all, this failed to
come, and It waa not until a few minutes
later, when one of tha girls chanced to
turn over her little white place card, that
It was discovered that this apparently un
interesting bit of pasteboard explained
everything. It waa an engraved visiting
card and bora tha nama cf Mr. William
Brae Fonda. Mra. Jaynes' guests were:
Misses Bryan, Ethel and Louisa Tukey,
Gertrude Macomber, McCune, Fannie Colo,
Hortense Clarke, Mona Martin, Edith Du
mont, Mary Harria, Comstock, Edith Smith,
