While, .aside from the Monday evening
cotillion, there Is nothing of sleo announced
for this week, there are names and dates
on the calendar that indicate some life
among the fashionables. Th vulentlne will
afford the theme and th ;-n' for most
of the affairs, and a- of these are
luncheons or dlnne-s, i .1 at least op-
portunlty for novelty.
One of the Interesting announcements to
be made soon, according to those who
know, la that of the engagement of one
of a family of five daughters living up on
Douglas street. It Is one of the oldest fam
ilies of the city and has long figured prom
inently In society. This will be the first
wedding' In the family, the prospective
bride being next to the youngest daughter.
The groom-elect lives In Seattle, Wash.
The blissful disregard of an Omaha bride
and groom for all the rest of the world has
resulted In a rather embarrassing predica
ment to the young man's mother. They
were married early In January, and as the
bride is an out-of-town girl, the groom's
mother had planned a reception to Intro
duce her upon their return. The young
people have been touring the Florida coast
and were expected home early this week.
Accordingly, Invitations were engraved for
the 15th, but when they were about to be
Issued word was received that the young
people had decided to visit Cuba. The ex
act date,, of their return has not been an
nounced, nor has the date of the recep
tion. ,

There were probably none more surprised
at the outcome of last Monday evening's
table d'hote dinner at the Omaha club than
society. Considering the popularity of
these dinners two years ago. It was natur
ally expected that the opening night at
least would be largely attended, but It was
not. The young people were conspicuously
absent, and one of the debutantes, who
was practically the only young person
present, was almost conspicuous In conse
quence. Hut there was no method In so
ciety absenting Itself last week; It Jus hap
pened that way. and while there Is evi
dently not the enthuslusra that prevailed
two years ago, the Monday evening ta,ble
d'hote dinner Is altogether too convenient
an Institution to be slighted.

OMAHA A RIVAL OF PARIS
Triumphs In Millinery Art Offered In
Omaha Only Fourteen Days
Later Than In Paris.
The first importation of Paris hats ever
shlped from the center of fashion's world
direct to the port of Omaha was received
last week by Shelley, 1411 Douglas street.
This means, besides a tidy increase In the
duties paid Into the local customs house,
that tire fashion of the city no longer will
have to go east to get what Is really and
genuinely new from the French capital.
Heretofore Imported hats In Omaha have
been purchased through New York firms
In other words, only what was on exhibi
tion in New' York of the Parisian stocks
was available to the merchant. Under the
new system Shelley's agent at 22 Rue Ber-
gere, Paris, selects what is most desirable
from the varied millinery establishments
and sends them to Omaha, the Journey re
quiring but fourteen days.
Therefore, should the ladles of Faris be
come Infatuated with a certain shape or
new mode their sisters west of the Missouri
can follow before It Is over nnd done with.
The first shipment, which will be followed
by others at intervals, was a large oi.e. It
arrived on the Arabic and there Wing no
government formalities until reaching
Omaha, where it was released from bond,
came through without delay. The hats
themselves are things that no mere type
can describe and may be had for prices
ranging, from $40 to $125.

arrangement has been effected.
Mrs. M. J. Monnette, vice president of the
Second district, returned from the east .last
week, where she has spent the winter, and
has Joined her husband out In the state

Exposition." She spoke of the architecture,
outdoor statuary, Indoor statuary and
paintings, making comparisons and telling
of the progress that has been made, all of
which was very hopeful and flattering to
American artists. Mrs. Keysor was to
have been the speaker last Monday after
noon on the program of the art department,
presented before the Woman's club, but was
unable to reach the city In time and,
though much has been done In her honor
during the week, Saturday morning was
the first time that the club women generally
have had an opportunity to greet her.
