Claries W. Riley, In Now Tork Time.
IS'ow doth ths ruthless Bummer Maid
Uai. proudly o'er her slain,
And g-oea and gets herself arrayed
To atart the Fall campaign.
Jiow doth the wretched Summer Man
Reflect In solitude
On various promises he's mad
And how to maJce them good.
And Bummer Man and Bummer Maid
Repent them of their sins;
"While, standing Just within tha shsde,
How slyly Cupid grins.
The opening of tna theaters, two large
Weddings and almost no end of luncheons
find small card partial made the week paat
a full ona Indeed, although an Mr of In
formality pervaded everything". This week,
ao far aa announced, whloh by tha way,
determine little, tbera will be mora wed
ding than anything- else, though there will
ta two large card parties. On Monday
renins; Mlaa Faith Potter will entertain at
cards for Mrs. Manley, who Is tha gueat
of Mrs. Dan Baum, Jr., and for whom a
number of affairs were given last week.
On Tuesday will occur the wedding of
Ml as Irene Carter and Mr. William McKetl;
that of Miss May Munger and Mr. Ham
mond Bell; the meeting of the Tueadny
Buohre club.
On Wednesday the Lang-Relter wedding
at Metropolitan club at 6:30 o'clock; tha
wedding of Mr. George Pray and Miss Meta
Prage, and a number of luncheons at the
Country club.
On Thursday Mesdames Ooldntrom, Klein
and Sampson will entertain at cards In
compliment to Miss Wolf of Pittsburg, who
Is ths guest of Miss Rothschild.
Someone has gone so far as to say that
loma people get engaged for ths sake of
announcing It and others for tha wedding,
While this may be a bit extreme, there has
been evidence of late that leads one to bo
lleve that sucb an assertion may not be
wholly without foundation; that some
women do derive a lot of satisfaction from
making such announcements, and rather
than be denied It, they will unhesitatingly
aacrlfioe their own plans and other people's
peace of mind.
Not long ago a young woman gave a big
Saturday evening; dinner at the Country
club which was to have been the occasion
for tha announcing of her engagement.
Unfortunately, the secret leaked out and
society naturally looked forward to the
dinner as one of the features of the week,
soma people even going so far ss to con
gratulate the young hostess in advance.
Finding that no one was going to be sur
prised by the announcement, she decided
to furnish a surprise of another sort and to
the wonder of everybody, no announcement
was made, at least not that week but It
was last week, and then very simply, by
tha young woman's mother.
Another prospective bride whose confi
dence In her friends led her to exhibit her
trousseau to' a chosen few will be married
within a fortnight. "Just to show peop'.o
that they did not know what they were
talltlnc about," but the favored friends
; who saw tha trousseau are wondering If
she really means to wear the stunning fur-
' trimmed, go-away gown and carry the
monkey-fur muff at this season of the year.
Although society Is fairly well aasembled
In town again with the exception of wed'
ding cards, of which, by the way, there Is
perfect deluge, few formal invitations
of any sort are being Issued. When a week
or so ago a hostess issued engraved cards
for a morning affair they created a real
nutter ana nave been talked about ever
since, for It has been weeks since any
thing more formal than a visiting card
had been received In the way of an Invi
tation. And even these have been the ex
ception, and nowadays the woman who
has many engagements1 keeps a record of
them beside her telephone. It Is safe to
predict, however, that It will, not be long
before there will be things doing, for there
are weddings scattered along almost up to
tha holidays, and for every one of these,
be It remembered, there are glven-ln-honor
affairs. And then, too, it can hardly be
xpeoted that the bevy of young women
who were introduced !aat season can hold
the title or privileges of debutantes very
much longer. In fact, there Is already be
ginning to be talk of a coming-out recep
tion for one of the girls who "finished'
last spring, while several others will cer
tainly be Introduced this season.
As for the' Country club, It Is generally
conceded that the season out there Is over,
and there is little prospect of any revival
of interest before ths closing night, when.
of course, there will be a crush, as usual.
Mr. Harry Drake Olbbs. who used to cir
culate socially In Omaha on occasional
visits In paat years, 'spent a few days lu
the city last week renewing old acquaint
anceship. Mr. Olbbs has given up his rest
dence in Buffalo, and is now on tha In
struotlonal staff of tha University of Ore
gon. The only noticeable change In his
personal appearance is caused by a Van
dyke beard he Is sporting, confessedly to
make himself look mora professorial. He
says ths beard Is two years o!d, but It
does not show Its age.
Mrs. William E. Annln, the. widow, of
the popular "Billy," passed through Omahi
last week on her way to Washington. By
the death of her husband Mrs. Annln and
her children have been left largely on their
own resources, and shs Is anxious to secure
a suitable position In one of tha govern
ment departments. It Is needless to say
she found plenty of sympathy and encour
agement among old-time friends who used
to know her In ths girlhood period when
she figured prominently In local aoclety aa
