'SOCIF.TY IN THE DOLDRUMS Il Penseroso Dawneth for the Followers of the Smart World, LENTEN PROGRAMS FOR THE BELLES What fias Been Doing In Soclety Till A Wodnesday Callod & Halt—Moves ments of Well Known People, Dull Lent! No bonbons for some, no flow- ers for others, no dances, nothing but pray- ors and penftence and sewing circles for those who remain in town, the pinos and the warm southern or Pacific coast skies for those fortunate who can forsake our squslly arch weathor for St. Augustine, Monterey, 08 Angeles, Oh the bliss of wondering in ‘‘das land no die rango blumen,” at least until Easter, as a number will do whose satin heels have tapped, tappea to the music of the ‘waltz and the galop; who are, according to thoir own statement, ‘‘complotely fagged out.” The dear girls who stay right here in ¥Swi are mdalging in all sorts of plans for ~”the penitential season, which to some is / synonymous with the dressmaking season. Bpring frocks, trousscaus, etc., must be thought of, and a littie rest enjoyed, to bring the roses back to their checks. Their eyes glisten, at least the eyes of some .of thom glisten, at the thought of the nice, quiet little times they will haye nestling in downy cush- jons, reading novels or enjoying a whiff at an Egyptian cigaretto. In consoquence of the dawning of Ash Wednosday quiotness roigns over the social lite of the metropolis, and we may expect this conaition of affairs to continue until Faster brings the birds of brilliant plumage back agala into the full glare of the world. P “ Books of etiquotte are well enough to keep )« informed as to the formal conventionali- ties of social lifo—the customs of socioty— which are constantly changing and with which ouly an export or a devotee can kcep in touch. There is underiying mero etiquette a native impulse that is superior to all training and that wo justly regard as the no plus ultra of delicate breeding. We have ail delighted in that old school book tale of the king who drank from a saucer to set ut ease a visitor who had never been taught the “‘proper” way to oat soup. Now comesa contribtitor to the New York Times with a mouern story of liko conduct. “It was,” said the relator, ‘‘several years ago when we first moved here. At that timo persistent bonnet wearing was not in voguoe in the smaller towns, although in New York even then the custom was well established. Soon after my arrival [ was invited toa church entertainment, and was chagrined, on veaching the dressing room, to tind every woman except myself in a dressy bonnet which she did not lay aside. “Perceiving my own blunder instantly, it ‘was with a keen sense of embarrassment that I, porforce, put off my knitted ‘fascina- tor’ and faced the prospect of spending tho evoning among strangers singled out by my unfortunato ignorance. Undoubtedly my face displayed the wortification I felt for T noticed n lady looking at me several times in a friondly, half-sympathetic way. She was evidently 'a well known and popular woman in_the company, for evervbody greeted her with great cordiality, and you may fancy my sweet relief when this woman, whos. heart was as tender a3 her face was lovely, fussed about, fanned herself conspicuously, and finally declarea the rooms were going o be unbearable, and she believed she would leave her bonnet upstawrs. ‘It will be so much more comfortable.! She must have sighed to put off the dainty little article which completed her handsome toilet, ana I noticed her hair, dressed for & bonnet, mnoeded considerable arranging to be present- able, without one, but I am sure her heavenly crown got an especially brilliant jewel that night for ber most womanly succor of a sis- ter in distress,” +% “It was a merciful dispensation,” says an autnority ou social ethics, ‘‘which abolished the custom, some while ago in yogue, of leav- ing a card for each member of a family, and, A1 tho caller were a married woman, of adding as many of hor husband’s, ‘dealing both packs,’ as a lively young matron pat it onco, Now it sufices to "leave your own card for the lady upon whom you call, if she is out or enzaged, and your husband’s for her and hor nushand. SIf thoro are daughtors in the_ house who are i society, leave ono card of your own and oue of your husband's for them, collec- s tively. 4 " Ii you cannot bo present at an afternoon teato which you arg bidden send yoar card on the afternoon of the ‘at home. It is oquivalent 1o your presoncoe and cancels the social debt. Of course, if you attend, you Jeuvo your oard in tho hall or with the ser- vant who announces you. If tho men of your family bavo boon' luvited and cannot e prosent leave their cards also, Ifa man 1s asked and cannot go he should send nis card by messengor or post if ho has no relative to take care of his visiting obliga- rds of condolonce are delicate assur- auces of sympathy and a graceful attention, 11 possible, thoy should be left in person, but be sent. ‘A card with ‘congratulation’ written upon it may be sent to the pavents of a newly born infant, an engaged friend, or to those newly wed. If the parents ouly of the bride are your friends, send your oard to them with *'hust wishes" inscribed, | “If you cannot attend a church wedding, send @ card or cards' to those who inyited you. If the fnvitation was issued in two names, respond to both upon the envelope, in ‘whici two cards should be enclosed and sent by wail or message upon the day of the mar- ringe. If you go to the church, leave your card or send it within a week. A Ghost Party, There have been all sorts and conditions of parties during the season, but a ghost party participated in by the mombers of the Cen- tral United Presbyterian church at the rosi- dence-of Mr. und Mrs. O. C. Brownlee, 1617 North Eighteenth street, Tuesday evening, quite capped the climax of social entertain- wents. 'L'he invitations were ghost-like in construction, being black cards with white Jotters informing the guests that “his shade' was expected to atiend a ‘'ghostly gathering of the faithful” at the resideuce above men- tioned.

Joking with a Serlous Subject, “‘Something out of the ordinary” is the modern shibboleth of svciety, and hostesses aro ever on the alert for new suggestions, new ideas to iutroduce in their entertain- monts, but the palm for originality de- sorvedly belongs to Mr. and Mrs. George C. Bassett, 1337 North Ninoteonth street, who gave on Shrove Tuesday evening &' ‘‘hard times” party, emulative possibly of the early days of Omaha, when John G. Saxe placed the mark of his disapprobation upon the metropol The idea was carried out In overy respectand Mrs, Bassett showed her- sell both an original and ingenious hostess in carrying the affair to so successful a conclu- sion. The euests knowing thet 1t was a *hard times party to which they had been fuvited, dressed accordingly, and judging from the costumes worn 1t was very easy to imagine that Mr. Hard Times had shaken them all by the hand and claimed them as his own., There wero tallow dips to fur- nish light, brown paper for scoro cards, and Owana Beks for lunch cloths, tin pans were used instead of walters to serve the lunch, which was very plain, but exceed- ingly good; instead of cigars, which are usual at Mr. and Mrs, Bassett's, new corn- cob pipes and out tobacco were presented o who men Prizes”were awarded for the best costume, Mr. Bailoy winning the gentleman's honor, while Mrs. McKenna was judged as having the best lady costume, High five prizes were awarded to I, B, Blakesley, a paper weight; Mrs, H.

Cadet Broatc s Resumed, A rather ridiculous story has been going the rounds concerning an incident in the routine life of Mr. J. W. Broatch, the Ne- braska appointes from this district at West Point. A local paper in publishing the item managed a3 usual to get its statements con- pletely entangled and thus to do Mr. Broatch a great lujustice. The grain of truth upon which the mass of fiction was built is this: The militry code requires cadets who enter West Point to submit to an almost endless persecution by the higher classmen until the Dattalion leaves camp. One of the upper classmen attempted to protract his sport after the allotted time but found that his insulting orders were resentod by Cadet Broatch. He theroupon challenged Broatoh 1o fight, o privilege which the latter Nastemod to accord him, The encounter took place; both combatants adjourned for & sojourn in the hospitai, althovgh by reason of disad- vantages in weight and size tho contest re- sulted slightly to the advantage of the aggressor.
