'Monday for health. Tuesday for wealth,
Wednesdny the best day of all. Thursday
for losses. Krldny for crosses and Satur
day no day at oll"-at any rate, that's tha
way our grandmothers used to say It and
a glance at the calendar would lead on to
believe that the old-time superstition Is
till In effect, for there have not been near
nough Wednesdays to go around among
the June brides this year. In fact. It Is sail
that one popular clergyman In town was
so beset with sppllcatlons for his church
and his services for Wednesday evenings
this month that he finally refused to per
form more than two marriages at his
church on one day and limited the day's
business to six, stipulating that ha should
bj allowed at least halt an hour to get
from one place to the next and this Is
why a certain other church In town, of the
same denomination, but much smaller, has
figured so extensively In the weddings of
late.
But the weddings have gone on just the
same and many a friend has been forced
to the awkward necessity of making a
chclco of which one he should attend. And
this week Is to be a repetition of last.
Monday Mrs. William Hill Clarke will
entertain at cards In the afternoon for
Mrs. Marsh's guest; Mrs. Mel Uhl will give
a kenslngton afternoon In compliment to
Miss Elthel Straight.
Tuesday evening Mrs. Will Johnson n

hostess of the week's meeting of the N. I.
T. Whist club; Mrs. Francis Kennedy and
Miss Webster will entertain the Tuesday
Euchre club 'at the home of Miss Webster.
Wednesday evening at 8:30 o'clock the

David Edward McCulley at the .lome of
Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Straight, 824 South
Thirty-fifth street. Mrs. Frank Blair
Smith will act as matron of honor, Misses
Oapcn, Helsell, Fensler, Hoffmeyer, John
son and Bessie Fensler will be the brides
maids and , Miss Eva Johnson the ring

miss uertruae Macomber, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. James H. Macomber, and Mr.
Frederick Warren Robinson of Flatbush,
.. win occur in the evening at the
Macomber home, 2010 Emmet, street; the
wedding of Mr. Harry Fisher and Miss
Oraco Barnard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs
A. W. Barnard, will take place at Knox
Presbyterian church at 7:80 o'clock.
A certain woman In town, who has the
US"!? l i0 th,n"' "Mtvln a whole
lot of cocgrstulatlon just at present for
putting a temporary damper, at least, upon
that very popular holdup known as the
shower." While that sort of thing Is alt
well enough as an expression of esteem
for the prospective bride. It has become
quite another matter to her friends' fathers
and simply amounts to two wedding pres
ents where there was formerly but one.
And this Is the view that the aforemen
tioned matron took of It and when last
week a woman announced to her. her In
tention of giving a nnen shower for her
daughter, she promptly told her that while
rtie appreciated the kindness of the gtris
he should certainly never consent to her
daughter', accepting such an attention, one
that she knew many could ill afford to
f ... T refu,lal waa taken as It was
Intended and. the showers have not been
as numerous since. ...
T. K?" P'M'verance-one man who
was wedded in Omaha last week boasts
that he waa engaged to six different girls
in succession before he succeeded In lead
ing the seventh through the marriage serv
ce. i
Along with the rest of the June wedding
announcements comes that of the marriage
of one who for a season at least enjoyed
the distinction of being the most talked
of. man in town. Prof. N. Hill Nesbltt.
Borne time late last winter society was ap
prised of the arrival of the professor by
means of not a few personal notes to local
fashionable women from i,i..i.
friends and a generous distribution of cir
culars that In addition to their guaranty
of a method of teaching French conversa
tion In five weeks bore a. likeness of Mr.
.eabltt that, by the way. scarcely did him
Justice. Accompanying the announcement
was an Invitation to all Interested to at
tend .the first meeting of his class, and
that meeting marks the beginning of a sea
son from which radiates Incidents and
doings galore. The clasa waa replete with
promise from the start, for the sample was
Interesting If nothing more. The member
ship Included half the feminine half of the
mart set and some others and last, but
by no means least, was the professor him
self. Wlth(n a week the "French class"
was as much an Institution In town as the
cotillion, the Woman's club or even the
morning muslcales. In fact it took prece
dence over these In the estimation of the
members, for with three classes a day
daughters were kept out of school to at
tend, while everything else dependent upon
the society women went begging. It was
quite out of the question to find women
at home mornings or afternoons and when
evening came they might as well have
been away, for unleal one spoke French or
was at least conversant with the latest
charm of the versatile professor he soon
found ha had little of Interest to My Lady.
Pink and white luncheons were given 'the
profeosor, and progressive luncheons, too,
whore. It Is said, the women progressed
. In turn to the chairs at the side of the

honored guest. And there were dinners
and flowers, too, and numerous other at
tentions that Inspired the male relatives
of some of the smartest women In town
with a variety of emotions. But through
all the professor maintained a courteous.
Impartial mind that but added to his pop
ularity, and when the five weeks at last
came to an end, as all things must, before
taking his departure he gave each of his
former pupils a portrait of himself as a
parting souvenir. When the French class
opened In Lincoln a week later several
Omaha women found it convenient to visit
these and, of course, went Into the class.
Feeling sure he had not worn his welcome
In Omaha out, the professor returned to
give an advanced course In French. This
time the class was not quite so large, but
Its members were quite as enthusiastic
as ever. In fact, one woman, whose mis
fortune It was to be seated at the rear of
the room, described those ahead of her as
"sitting with their ears hanging over the
back of the seat In front of them." By
this time the class was working In com
position and the students vied with each
other In poetical efforts, many ot mem
addressed to their instructor. A question
box was the next thing In order, and then
It became evident that something was In
the wind of which all were not aware.
With persistent frequency some of the
women asked questions about Kansas City.
They wanted to know if the professor had
ever been there, when he expected to go
back, what his errand would be and how
long he would be gone, all of which evi
dently embarrassed him not a little, until
one day everybody learned that the pro
fessor had gone to Kansas City, had been
married there and had returned with his
new wife to Omaha. The French class has
now closed and Its remnant Is studying
psychology under Its former Instructor. He
says this Is his real work, that French was
but a means. A few have met the bride
and, it Is said, that the others are now
meeting with him mornings, playing
hearts In French.
Town Topics In Its Issue of a week ago
gives more of the details of the fractured
engagement In which an Omaha society
man now wearing Uncle Sam uniform
figures In one of the title roles, to which
allusion was made In' these columns last
Sunday. For the benefit of busybodle who
want to keep fully informed of all the
oclal doings we reprint the story here
with: The prospects for another society-military
wedding have fallen through. The
engagement of Mrs. Frank M. Avery of
Chicago to Mr. William G. Doane, lieuten
ant of the Sixteenth infantry, U. 8. A., Is
off, and It la gossiped In Chicago that the
dashing Mrs. Avery has jilted her former
love to become engaged to an Englishman
of prominence, though no one seems to
know who the Englishman Is. I predicted
when she went to London last summer
that after she got a taste of social life
there something of the kind was likely to
occur, for, compared to London and con
tinental gayety, the prospect of life In a
lonely army post would appear mighty
dreary to a woman of Mrs. Avery's nature.
I am told that the wealthy Chicago widow
first met her new fiance at a house party
given by the duke" and duchess of New
castle last summer, and that the wooing
has been desperate ever since. Mrs. Avery
seems to have lost her head through the
attention she haa received on the other
side. She had told all of her friends she
would return home this month, but now
the fickle widow has taken a house In
London with the Intention of remaining
until next winter. She has announced
that she will then take a house In New
York, but her friends In Chicago believe
she Intends to make London her perma
nent home. Her mother. Mrs. E. 8. Clark,
and her young son are with her. The
breaking of the engagement la regrettable,
for It spoils the rounding out of a romance
that began in youth, when Mrs. Avery,
then the beautiful but poor Mae Clark,
and 'Billy' Doane were residents of Omaha.
Mr. Doane Is the son of ex-Judge Doane
of Omaha. At present he Is stationed at
an obscure post In South Carolina. I won
der what he haa done with the rare col
lection of photographs of Mrs. Avery that
used to be the talk of certain army
circle."
The same number of the same spicy sheet
contains another bit of Information of spe
cial Interest to Omaha people whose mem
ories go back to the society belles of other
days, when Miss Lou Ijams was at tho
front in everything that was worth getting
Into. Without conjuring up visions of what
might have been In store for her If things
had been different It Is sufficient to say
that she Is about to be re-married In New
Tork. where she has been living In a new
atmosphere the past two or three years.
Here Is the Item that tells all about It:
The engagement of "Jimmy" Inglls to
Mrs. Louise Ijams Lander came rather as
a surprise to nls many friends here, as he
has long been considered one of a coterie
of confirmed bachelors, having neared three
score years without having ventured his
bark on matrimonial seas. Nor is the
finances In the first bloom of youth, and
she has disposed of one husband through
the medium of a Chicago divorce court.
Prior to her final separation for there were
several reconciliations from her first, she
one day ventured too near the danger Una
on Ice-covered Lake Michigan and was res
cued from a chilly grave by a policeman."

Is tho Advlro Given by the Manage
saent of Conrtland Beach nnd Lake
Manawa These Resorts Are
Promised to Be Cool and
Dellahtfol.
The week Just closed at Courtland Beach,
and Lake Manawa has been an exceptionally
good one considering that the greater part
of the week, especially tho nights, have
been unseasonable. The prospects for the
coming week appear to be bright for a big
business, as the weather Indications are
that the week will show a dally high tem
perature. The street car officials and the
park management expect a big exodus to
the parks today and are preparing for It.
All the cars available will be put on the
runs to the resorts and a five-minute
schedule will be established. The round
trip fare to Manawa Is but 26 cents. Tickets
may be purchased at Morlts Meyers', Four
teenth and Fa mam streets; Klplinger's,
Thirteenth and Famam streets; Black The
Hatter's, Sixteenth and Dodge streets; Bal
duff's, Sixteenth and Fa mam streets;
Beaton's drug store, Fifteenth and Far
nam streets.
A splendid amusement program has been
arranged for each resort. At Courtland
Beach the Vaughn Leer trio of acrobats
and aerial ladder artists will make their
Initial appearance. This act Is a sensa
tlonal one and the work done Is little
short of marvelous. Vaughn Leer does a
high dive Into n net from a seventy-flve-foot
elevation that Is truly death-defying.
Sam Murphy will put on a balloon race
today, the contestants being Miss Brond
wlck, the plucky little woman who had
such a narrow escape from death last Sun
day because her .parachute failed to open,
and J. A. Cummins. The switchback,
Ferris wheel, merry-go-rounds and all the
other amusement devices are In good shape
to care for the crowds. The bathing
beaches at both resorts are all ready for
any demand that may be made upon them.
At Manawa John Rogers, the daring aero
naut, will make his customary parachute
Jump. Covalfs band of thlrty-flve pieces
