The dancing party at the beautiful re fence of Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Yates d gervedly ranks highamong the leading events of the season, and the atternoon teas ot Hamilton place brought ont the leaders of the beau monde in large numbers. A lun- cheon ortwo atthe homes of several well ¥mown society favorites gave piquancy to the week, and afforded an opportunity for many of our residents to renew past friend- ships and form new ones, something tha slways pleasing and delightful You may not know it, but the very proper thing in theso *‘timo bettoring days,” as Shaiesneare says, 1510 have your guest s an- nounced, notwithstanding that the host. aud hostess are on quite good terms, with every guost expocted, In New Yorkall first class eaterors now send out “eallers,” along with door openers and maids for the cloak rooms. 1n speaking of this very pleasant custom a New York ludy said: “it's too much_like Washington and official crushes, Its Eng 1ish too you lenow, but 1 like to pay my gucsts tho compliment of recalling them withont having my memory stimulatod by a sorvant.’” “Thavs all very well,” said her compan- fon, also often & hostess, “but in' my case withut thoir aid I shoull puy many of my very good friends the poor compliment of inability to say theirnames at all. | really couldn’t got thiongh an ‘at home,' creditably if doprivod of this assistance. I find ereat dificulty in making names fit faces and in the constantly arriving throng 1 shouid get, hopelessly con- fused if things wero not arranged for me.” The only instance we recall of announcing guests in Omaha, was at the reception ten- dered Hon, Russell A. Alger last summer by Hon John M. Thurston. Then Major T. S. Clarkson officiated in the capacity of “caller’ and knowing everybody almost in the city, he made Me. and Mrs. Thurston’s duties par- ticularly light. It is a very pleasant custom and we look forward to the time when it will be the custom in this metropolis of the north- west. The London Graphic prophesies that the fashion of wedding rings for the husband pidly becomo popular. It isan inno- cent fashion enough and might sometimes prevent awkward mistikes, Dutiful hus- bands, unaccompanied by their wives, would notinadyortantly have the air of being gay bachelors, thus leading the other sex to lose valuable ‘time. Of course, when & man wishes to pass himself off as unmarried—de- igning persons are'sometimes guilty of this impropriety —u mere finger ring woild be no obstacle. It would have tobea nose ring, and this fashion is unlikely ever to become the vogue. However,if matried men wish to wear wedling rings there is nothing to pre- vent them. Some busbands scem tolike their domestic status to be known as widely as possible: peopls have been known to talk of their children to strangers. What kind of paper do you use?
