ENDOWMENT FOR CLARKSON MEMORIAL The Swell Young Men of Omaha Threaten to Inmogurate rike—The Starlight b Entertains Its Friends—Prom- Ises tor the Future, “ 8ne sat twn rows {n front of me— ‘That maid with sunny hair: My rapt eves couid not choose but soe e goid that giittered there.

She turned hor hed, and as for mine, She turned (6 with a glunce.” The announcement made some time ago that one of the best known of the younger musicians ana a leader in swell circles would entertain tho mombers of the University of Michigan Glee ana Banjo clubs, inviting only her lady friends to meot the Ann Arbor col- egians, bas causod doep mutterings among the men ot Omaha. They resent being thrown overvoard, as thev say, by their girl friends, whom they have taken to parties. balls, theaters and petite suopers during the ‘winter, and are talking of forming a voycott against those whe will meet the colloge boys 8t the house of tha young woman. The girls who sre looking forward with delightful auticipations to the coming of the Ann Arbor Glos club are laughing immod- eratoly at the ramors of pique felt by their Omaha friends. They say it would not be at all possible to in twenty-tive Omaha men to meet twenty-five colleginus and still have the sume numberof young women. It would not be a bit pleasant for the irls or men and would be decidedly stupid. But the explanation does not satisfv and all sorts of silly vows are being mado that “if tha girls do seo the college men, eto., otc.,” thoy (the mon) will immediately go on a striko even If tho war has to be carried through the summor and into next season. It is a pretty situation as it stands and tho outcome will be watched with interest by the lookers-on in Vienna. But we are betting on the girls. The idea of abojcott being inaugurated againet the fair sex. l’l is proposterous ! s The “Carnival of Cifies,” given Tuesday and Wednesday at the Ramge building by the lagies of All Saints’ church, was a pleas- antly successful affair, notwithstanding that the rain prevented many from participating in the carnival who would otherwise have beon found in the midst of the workers. The booths wero all prottily decorated, Paris, So- ville aud Tokio being thorouh refloctions of the Iife thoy wero intended to represont. . dangoerous olement of soctal life. Gond, bad or indifferent, their powaer is irresistible. Each must run its course aud die a natural death. Fow present fads are slower to die or more to bo deplored than that of serving light refreshments. The ex- treme of lightness into which they have de- veloped is & travesty on good taste and & burlesque on genuine hospitality. It 18 an insult to good breeding that only custom makes it possiblo to tolerate. In vain the wit has laughed to scorn tho “bread and but- ter party,” and the reception with its_thim- bleful of tos, and etheresl wafer. Froaks and follies thrive on ridicule, In vain fash- ionable women themselves have enjoyed thelr jesta over the farce into which the serving of refreshments hos degenerated. While 1 was considered good form, they were powerless to chunge tho absurd cus- tom. Authoritics, however, persist in condemn- ing the whim.~ It is not, and uever has been good form. It is all & blunder, o misconcep- %ion on the part of the fashionable world, over greed for novelty, Colebrated women who entertain almost dailv,xiviug large pub- lic_receptions, proffer to the acquaiutauces and strangers who throng their homes the courtesy of a cup of tea, with perhaps some light delicacy. Imitators and fashion seek- ers jump au_tho conciusion tuat since Mrs. Hlife entertains so, it must bo the correct and prescribed modo. Wherons it is grace- ful atteution in its sphere, but was intended ouly for general hospitality aud was never meant as & discharge ol social obligations, Could the obtuse world bo amoag tho fa- vored friends persoually invited to tho same home, their 1deas would be suddonly and completely revolutionized by the princely Iavishness shown in the anticipation of every te.

At present tho number of cards. etiquette demands shall be left at_any one house 18 very involved. A married woman must have one of her own aud two of her hus- band's cards if calling on one member of a family. Of course if the family to be called upon happens to be large the callor must needs loave, as & girl remarked the othor day, “an entire pack and the joier,’ The story is told of a youth, very shy but very ambitious to be thought well’ up ia all the details of fashionabla fiic, who startea out the proud possessor of a silver card cuse, On arriving at the abode where the first call was to bo made ho hurriedly remembered his 10structions as to leaving a Lurge number of cards.
