THE OMAHA DAILY HEKi SUNDAY, DLCCMllEU 1 1, 1002. SOCIETY PREPARES TO ROMP Holiday Soafon to Be One of Unwonted Gaietj in Omaha. MANY PLANS LAID FOR SMART AFFAIRS Comlnar Out Turtles, Receptions, Ralls, Cotlllloaa and the Mk Sched uled for Seat Twi Weeks Are Kameroas. Fresent Indications are all that the holi day! will be thn gayest In Omaha (or many yrar. Already the calendar la well filled with alTaira of more than ordinary Impor tance that include coming-out receptions, with their attendant entertalnmenta, dancing partlei, luncheons, dinners, wed dings and, In fact, nearly every sort of gathering. Including the wide variety that the college folks bring home or Invent for their particular pleasure. In addition to these, it Is said, there are to be a num ber of others, the cards for which have not .as yet been sent out. The period In tervening is also replete with promise. First of all in interest and order, is Mrs. Philip Potter's reception, to be given at her home tomorrow afternoon, from 1 nntil 5 o'clock, when she will Introduce her daughter, Miss Faith. It la to be a large affair and will be followed on Tues day evening by, a dancing party for the young people. On Saturday evening, December 20, Mrs. Guy Howard will entertain a large party of young people at a dinner, given for her daughter. Miss Bessie, who returns the last of the wiek from her school In the east, and the members of that set are antici pating It among the most pleasant affairs. On Monday, afternoon, December 22, Mrs. George W. Holdrege will give a large tea between 3 and 5 o'clock at her home, on South Thirty-second street, to Introduce ber daughter. Miss Susan. It Is to be fol lowed by a supper for the members of the assisting party and some of the men friends are to be Included, of course. On the same day the wedding of Mr. Arthur Spering Fearse and Miss Mary Oliver Lchmer, flaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lehmer, will be of Interest to a wide circle of friends. And then there are to be three delight ful dancing parties for the younger, young set. Mr. and Mrs. Harry P. Whltmore will give tho first on Saturday evening, De cember 27, at the Millard hotel, for their young daughter, Eugenie. On Monday even lng, the 29th, Mrand Mrs. B. A.

Klrkendall will give a dancing party for their daughter. Miss Ada, who returns from her school for the holidays., And then there Is New Tear's day, but It' Is almost too early for anything more definite than gossip. For those who wish It, however, it is to the effect that ever so many will keep open house, after the good old fashion of our mothers' girlhood days and that the men Intend to do their ahare toward reviving that charming old custom. The next of the series of cotillions Is scheduled for January 3 and here the onea who are looking ahead must stop or make announcements of their own, for aside from a few acattered dates, the rest ot thaJ cotillions ana the regular meetings of reru lar clubs, the future holds nothing but promise. . Speaking of the cotillions, everyone at all familiar with the Inclination of the local fashionable knows that there Is Oath lng that the women enjoy so well or In which the men positively outdo themselves as the cotillion. Of course, the men don't have everything to do with the success ef these affairs that's another open secret but then they constitute the Cotillion club and. aa the women are all dependent upon Invitations, they are agreed to a woman that If there Is any particular In which the local society man shlnea It Is In the ferman. And, by the by. thla very Invita tional feature Is responsible in a large de gree for the Interest In this particular aeries. The men belong and the women are Invited and, as the first- named have announced their Intention of passing this limited pleasure around, no one but the wives have any assurance that they will be privileged to attend more than one party. no matter how popular they may be, which tact has made the Invitation the most coveted of anything that has yet developed. As to the women's share, there Is one thing that they are discussing freely, as the men have not hesitated to do ao, and that Is the fact that they have been privileged to furnish the favors. In all seriousness this la a real privilege, too, as they proved by their selections for Friday evening. Evelyn Dear: Ot course everybody SOUR STOilACH (Add Dyspepsia.) Mow Recognised as the Cans ef rlous Diseases. Acid Dyspepsia, commonly called heart burn or sour stomach. Is a form of Indlges Uon resulting from fermentation of the food. Tha stomach being too weak to promptly digest it, the food remains until fermentation begins, Oiling the stomach with gas, and a bitter, aour, burning taste In the mouth Is often present. This con dition soon becomes chronic and being as every day occurrence is given but little at tentlon. Because Dyspepsia Is not Immedi ately fatal, many people do nothing tor the trouble. It Is now well known among able physl clans that the whole constitution is gradu ally undermined and weakened, that the nerves and vital organa are seriously at fected by any form of dyspepsia. This Is plain, as every organ, every nerve in the body is nourished by the blood and the blood Is replenished from the food digested, If the food Is properly digested the blood is pure, the nerves steady, but It supplied from a sour, fermenting, decaying mass the blood is vitiated, poisoned and the result is shown in sleeplessness, lack ot energy, poor appetite, nervousness. Every trifle is mag nlflt'd and the dyspeptlo sees nothing but the dark side of everything. Within a recent period a remedy has been discovered prepared aolely to cure dyspepsia and stomach troubles. It la known aa Stuart's Dyspepela Tablets and it ia new becoming rapidly used and prescribed aa radical cure for every form of dyspepsia. It is not claimed to cure anything except dyspepsia and stomach weakness In Its various forms, but for this it has been shown to be unequalled. The eminent spec ialists, Reed and O'Leary, have recently stated that they considered Stuart's Dys pepsla Tablets an unfailing specific, for dis orders of the digestive organs, and the re markable cures made in cases ot long standing dyspepsia provea that this remedy has extraordinary merit. 6tuart'e Dyspepsia Tablets have been plated before the publio a 04 are sold by druggists everywhere at AO centa per pack age, and while it promptly and effectually restores a vigorous digestion, at the aame time is perfectly harmless and will not In Jure the most delicate stomach, but on the conii-ary by giving perfect digestion strengthens the stomach. Improves tha ay petite and makes life worth living. Woman's Work in Club and Charity The Chancel guild of All Saints' church held very successful Christmas bazar on Monday at the home of Mrs. II. O. Strelght. The program for tomorrow's open meet ing of the Woman's club will be in charge of the department of ethics and philosophy. Among the matters scheduled to come up during the business session is the decision of the club regarding the philanthropic work that It voted, over a year ago, to do. The philanthropic committee for this year recommended two weeks ago that the cluii upport the cooking school at Ten.h Street City mission. Tho equipment Is already n the building and two clauses of twelve girls each are waiting the decision. The matter was laid over from the last meet- ng owing to some question of sufficient finances to carry that work and the report to be given by the treasurer tomorrow. Arrangements tor the Christmas dis tribution has already commenced at Tenth Street mission and Miss Magee has de cided to have a Christmas postofBce for the children this year. Everything will be arranged In packages and sorted, and as the children of the classes call on Christ mas morning they will be given their pack ages. The distribution Is being eagerly an ticipated by the children as usual and Miss Magee Believes that ber plan for this year will prove most successful. The next meeting of the Hanscom Park knows that there are people who ought to be clapped Into a- growlery the day they are born and kept there forever after. The awkward part of such an arrangement would be the determining these objection able Infants determining Evelyn, that Is always an awkward part, for there Is such variety of growlers, those who growl on general principles; those who have an ex cuse for growling and thoso who growl from force of habit or some other reason. Of course I belong to the second named class I think this was originally the case with the majority of the well meaning growlers In society, but they have degen erated, from overexercise. into tha third named and no wonder. I believe that if someone were to Insti tute a growl bag Just at Dreeent it would be positively stuffed before the end of the week, and I am equally sure that the "as sisting women" and the "college folks" would crowd each other as the burden of Its contents not to speak of all the little growls. Personally, I consider the aoclety man the greatest trial at large Just at present. He is a cheat, Evelyn, and one baa but to go abroad on a wet day, one of the wet, windy days, Evelyn, to be con vinced of It. How do I know so much? I spent a whole afternoon downtown not long ago, one of those afternoons when the wind and snow and slippery walks made It hard to get about. I was out in the Interest ot charity, Evelyn; that took me the round of the office buildings and that sort ot place, and for comfort's sake I had put on a brown tam and veil, a short skirt and mackintosh, but, alas, my disguise proved anything but a comfort, for no one recog nised me at first glance, and that's how I learned of the duality of men and es pecially of the men that you and I know best in society. Of course nobody expects a man to give up a seat In a street car now-a-days that Is, nobody who uses the cars often but there are a few things that one still expects, though I have learned better now, for between the men and the doora I was all but knocked off my feet a half dozen times and of all the men I saw, those that are petted and made most of In society were the rudest and least con alderate. Imagine my feelings when a man, the paying teller of the bank t was Just entering, and who has been considered "desirable" for well, ever since I s-ot through school crowded psst me through the heavy storm door and allowed It to swing hack against me as he ran up the steps, when only a night or two before he had come as near scrambling aa his ele gant dignity would permit, to pick up a flower I had dropped. Everywhere I went I bad similar experiences, and aa I came out of The Bee building I was bumped Into by a man, who. with his wife, bad en tertained me at dinner the evening before. He did not even seem to realize that an apology might make some amends for his carelessness. They talk about women being two-faced, Evelyn; we are not a bit worse than men, only they Lad the chance to find us out Brat, that's all, and as they are such ex emplary creaturea when they know we are about and have forgiven us during all these ages, I suppose one can but forgive them, too, and make amends to the world by doing out-duty by our younger brothers. At any rate, Evelyn, there are r few men in society that will make me laugh In their very faces It they are ever excessively polite to me again. Your devoted, but en lightened KAROLYNE.

CONSIDER FRANCHISE PROJECT Members otRealty Eitkinst Have Secret Session, but Take No Action. After a session of more than an hour, during which all but members were ex cluded from the room, the Real Estate exchange adjourned this afternoon without Anally paining upon the merits of the proposed Rosewater electric franchise, which had been made the order tor a spe cial session this afternoon. There was a report by a committee which the members aald tbey did not desire to have made public. This report was signed by the special committee, consist ing of W. T. Graham, John L. McCagua and W.

At the Boyd. What la admittedly Charles H. Hoyfs funniest, as It was his last, farce-comedy, "A Stranger in New York," drew two good-sized audiences to the Boyd yestser day. The farce has been brightened in many respects by the Introduction of mod ern "gags" and recent songs, but Its orig inal outline has not been altered. It Is in the hands of capable people, and Is given with a dash and awing that makes It go all the time. Jack Campbell, not unknown locally. Is the stranger, and Wil liam Keller Mack Is I. Calller Down, and they make a good team of comedians. Miss Sylvia Starr Is the Hattle of this organ ization, and is a "good fellow" on the stage at any rate. F. E. Beamish has the really hard part of the senile Baron Sands, and does it to a nicety. The engagement was only for two performances. Attend the great receiver's sale at Ben nett's, It waits your arbitration. Christmas Dinner for 1'oor Families.
