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. Cudahy
will entertain a similar affair for their
son and daughter at their home on South
. Thirty-seventh street, and on the aame
evening Mr. and Mrs. F. P. 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.

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.

inghouse people would not enter this ter
ritory. He said that his company expected
to enter the Omaha field If it had power
more than could be used at Columbus and
points between here and the power plant.

needed for the power plant to be deflected
to the adjacent land for the purpose of
Irrigation, and that after using all of this
water the company expected to build a

Amusements.
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.
The Ralvntlon Army of Omaha at Its
headquarter. 403 Bee building, Is making

There is an advantage in sending out these
Da.sKets over the old oimtom of feeding the
crowd at the army hall, and that is that
the gathering of the family around their
