Tricks and Manners. It is & curious fact that in Omaha where culture decidedly obtains and where women wich reason consider themselves ‘au faiv’ in social matters, thero should be such a care- less disregard of ¢hings that are the very seal of good breeding. Overlooking what should suggesu itself from a point of good nature really proclaims one'igoorant of those things established as ‘good form’ in polite society. For example, the inexcusable neglect in roplying to notes of invitation when the hostess issues them several days or oven u week before the entertamnment, 1f there be & chance of something interfer- ring at the last momeat to make one's pres- ence impossible, itis decidedly more kindly and infinitely better bred to send one's re- Rrets immediavely. Au early acceptance is equally incumbent within the charmed circle of the 400 as 1t frequently makes a material difference to the hostess, Although it is ot customary, it is very thoughtful to send a reply to @n. invitation for a reception, for where is the need of preparing for twvo hundred when only abou'. @ hundred may chance to come.

This question of bonnets is a vexed one and can only bo settled by tabooing them with walking gowns after dinner. Social Gossip Miss Wakeley is visiting ia Chicago. Mr, and Mys.
