Wa met, an other couples met. And strolled s-down the river's bank; X klaeed your lips, nor can foget The sweet delights my fancy drank. Ton aald you never lived 'til then, And that for me your love was true; We vowed-for life! and death! But when The Bummer left me, ao did you. Auruat ha nearly melted' away and It will not be long before September will break forth and all society will be .wakened. Many are returning to tho city already, while the aummer guests ara preparing to depart for their homee. . One remarked the other day that It waa extremely "dull." Aa far aa formal affaire ara concerned, yea, but when one aeea the aummer girl on picnics, automobile rldea, moonlight driven, to the club In the aftemoona, (dlecuaslng the "moat popu lar girl," and "the beat catch of the sea son") and laat but not least, all the In formal parties, which, by the way every thing now Is "Informal," no matter how swell a function It may be, It aeems a shame to hear, "oh, ws are doing abso lutely nothing." x A variety of amusement have helped to while the hours away the paat week. Of course the tennis tournament waa the main attraction. Every day saw a. good crowd at the club, and towards the latter part of the week the people grew more and more enthusiastic, . and the burst of ap plause and cheers were at times almost deafening. Each and every girl had their favorite. Should he win the game there was a look of "Well, I told you ao," but should he make an error It was "I wonder why he did It," perhaps a long sigh; "He Isn't half trying," or "He Is simply rattled." When all the time the contestant la trying his utmost to win, and appear at his best before the anxious ones whose eyes are centered upon him. It was a week of luncheons, but taken as a whole that la a charming way to enter tain. The hoateaa not only can show her ability as a good conversationalist, but can prove to her guesta how artlstlo she may be In arranging the table decorations. Watch for a run of bridge whist In Omaha the coming season. The game has just made Ita formal entrance Into local society and all' the elite are praotlcing up to shine at the tables when the Indoor entertainment occupies the boards. "We always take up every new fad about the time It has had Its go in other towns," remarked a debu tante of other days, "but we have this consolation we get as much fun and ex citement out of a discarded device aa other places do out of It when it la brand new. Ve'll go wild over bridge. Just aa If It were an tnventloh of our own, and no one else had ever touched It before. We picked up ping pong last year after it was dead throughout the east. The trouble with us, however, is that we tire so quickly of each Innovation." Since so many engc cements have been announced; everyone , Is , anxious , to . know when the weddings are to take place, and who, next. la to be added tq the list of young matrons. At . present dame: gossip baa it rumored that another certain lawyer Is very devoted to one of Omaha's fair daughters and we may soon look for an announcement. ..A most enjoyable smoker was given at the Field club Friday evening.

LANDS Artesian Well Possibilities of West ern Nebraska Subject of Got . enament InTestlgratlon. WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The first an nual report of the arid land reclamation service of the geological survey, made by F. H. Newell, who Is In charge of It, has been completed and soon will be made public. It gives detailed Information of the work to date of the establishment of a system of irrigation under the direction of the national government. It appears that the work has been carried on In the different localities In the various states and terri tories aa follows: On Salt and Gila rivers In Atisona; on Colorado river In California; on North Platte, Gunnison and Grand rivers In Colo rado; on Bnake river In Idaho; on the deep well problems of western Kansas; on Mill river In Montana; on the txteslan well probabilities of western Nebraska; on Carson and Truckee livers !n Nevada; on the artesian probabilities of central Ore gon; cn Bear river in Utah; on Yakima river in Washington, around Lake Desmet, and also on Sweetwater liver In Wyoming. At each of the places where systematic work has been conducted preliminary tem porary withdrawals of public land, but which may be reclaimed, are indicated only in a general way by these temporary segregations. - , Commenting on the effect, of these with drawals, the report says: The impossibility of stating in advance waat lands will ultimately be recommended for reclamation will reeult In great dis appointment to many persons. The fact that the lands have been temporarily set aaide is. In the eyes of man v. an Indication that these lands will be reclaimed soon, and although every attempt has bean made to warn ItiJiviuualB or tne rutuiiy or nung upon theae lands under ths homestead law, they perxixt in taking up the land on the bare posHlbiliiy that the surveys and ex aminations will ultimately show it to be reclalmable. It is an unfortunate con dition, which apparently cannot be cor rected at present. Aaaoaaeemeat. Dr.' G.

AMERICAN SOCIAL RECORDS Dowager Dooheiiof Uanohetter Easily Out ranks All in Point of Euoceia, MRS. WEST AND MRS. PAGET ON DECLINE aaaeble of Former With Viceroy of Irelaad lias Put Her Into Disfavor With tho King; and Hneen. (Copyright, 1903, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Aug. 22. (New York World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) The corre spondent for the World has had a talk with one of the Inner circle of fashionable London society about the social records made this season by American women and this la what she said: ' "In England a social success means royal favor, an dthere Is no doubt that no one Is so Intimate with both the queen and the king as Consuelo, dowager duchess of Marlborough. There is not a single party this season to which she was not invited. "The duchess of Marlborough may come to the front again, and probably will when Blenheim house Is open, but now one hears little about her. She Is very exclusive and does nothing to Imperil her position. Her health has not been very good and the duke Is not easy to manage, but her fu ture Is still In her own hands. Miss Gladys Deacon haa rather broken with the duchess and people wonder why. "Mrs, George West and Mrs. Arthur Paget, whose names were once all power ful. In London, are both going rather out of vogue. Mrs. West's squabble with the viceroy of Ireland because he did not In vite her to all his parties when she was In Dublin displeased the king and Mrs. Paget has overdone the running of Ameri can nobodies. "Mrs. 'Isaac Bell, on the contrary, made some good friends and will take a house here next season. She let no one run' her she did not need It. "Mrs. Frank Avery of Chicago made a great splash, but It all came to nothing, he has made no permanent friends, al though she spent a great deal of money. Her laat yarty was almost deserted. She made the same mistake of asking other people's friends that Mrs. Leggett did, and of Mrs. Leggett one hears nothing now. "Mrs. John Leslie, another of the Jerome sisters, has In a way usurped the position of her sister, Mrs. West. Her Influence over the duke and duchess of Connaught gives her great power and she considerably helped the debut of her niece, Miss Moreton Frewen. "The Padelford family has been more prominent than ever. Mrs. Arthur Padel ford has been Immensely admired. The other Mrs. Padelford, now Mrs. Ernest Cunard, has also had a success and her daughter. Miss Padelford, was one of the girl beauties of the season. "Mrs. Ronalds, since she went to one of the king's courts, Is stronger than ever. "The general Idea Is that Mrs. Frank Mackey has done herself no good by al lowing Mrs. Paget to ask all her guests when she had so many friends of her own. "Of the strangers who came over the Impression at first was that Mra. John Drexel had made the greatest success, but this was a mistake. The king found her dull and was only civil to her In return for her civilities to Mrs. George Keppel when she was In New York. But she cer tainly dressed well and always looked well. "The great success In royal and social circles was Mrs. Shaw, (the Dana. Gibson girl) who not only delighted his majesty but was a favorite with all his friend. "Mrs. Perry Belmont was taken up by Mra. Paget, and had a certain success, but made no permanent Impression. She Is believed , to contemplate a more de termined campaign next season.
