The indications of a fortnight ago have developed into a reality. Society Is going to dance during the holidays, and dance hard, too. Beginning next Thursday evening for ten nights In succession, excepting the two Sundays, there is a dancing pnrty for every evening and every one of them is to be a smart affair too. That means every night during the holidays and at least two after New Years. There have not been days enough to go around thla year. fc."very bedy seemed to want to give a dance and because of conflicting dates and in ability to secure the desired place, four big affairs, dancing parties, were filven up and by hostesses that would have made them functions of no small consequence. In the main, these are all for the school folks, and It is said that the Cotillion club is to extend its list to Include a goodly proportion of this set, at Its Nov Year's party. Aside from the dances, however, little has been announced, though there Is talk of at least one series of large afternoon card parties and a reception or two. The Idea of keeping open house New Year's day is gaining favor and a score of young women are planning things that can not bo dell nltely announced until the college girls get home to have a say in the arrangement. The following suggestion comes from one who helped to plan the first New Year' reception ever held In Omaha and who has had a prominent part in the social life of the city ever since. Her name is withheld by request: To the Society Editor of The Bee: Re garding the revival of the beautiful old cus tom of keeping open house isf.w Years day, your mention In last Sunday's paper was most timely and I for one hone that not only the young women, but all the old families will do their share on this dny of all days of the year when hospi- iiuuy is appreciated. It would mean so little: a little I irht rcfrpshmpnt-Knmn mint and bonbons with grape Juice, a fruit punch, ieu, conee or cnocoiaie ana a hospitable hostess to serve it. In years nast. n hvv of girls and young women would receive togetner during the afternoon, and evening, too. If there was no other demand upon them, and the men would go about from place to place carrying greetings. Why can not this be done again this year? I would suggest that all the women of the city who expect to be at home New Year's day send their names, addresses and the hours during which they will receive to the papers, to be announced In the society columns the Sunday preceedlng New Year's. kins training school for nurses and has been for some time In Chicago.
