SOCIETY SEES ONLY BRIDES Woek Just Past and Week Coming Have Notkinz but Weddings.

When a malden weds All her friends LOOK pleasant. “Monday for health, Tuesday for wealth, Wednesday the best day of all. Thursday for losses, Friday for crosses and Batur- day no day at all"—at any rate, that's the way our grandmothers used’to say it and a glance at the calendar would lead one to belleve that the old-time superstition is still in effect, for there have not been near enough Wednesdays to go around among the June brides this year. In fact, it is sall that one popular clergyman in town was #0 beset with applications for his church and his services for Wednesday evenings this month that he finally refused to per- form more than two marriages at nis church on one day and limited the day's business to six, stipulating that he should bs allowed at least half an hour to get from one place to the next—and this is why a certain other church in town, of the same denomination, but much smaller, has figured so extensively in the weddings of late. But the weddings have gone on just the same and many a friend has been forced to the awkward necessity of making a chelee of which one he should attend. And this week is to be a repetition of last. Monday Mrs. Willlam Hill Clarke will entertain at cards in the afternoon for Mrs. Marsh's guest; Mrs. Mel Uhl will give a kensington afterncon in compliment to Miss Eithel Straight. Tuesday evening Mrs. Will Johnson en- tertains at dinner for the members of the MecCulley-8traight bridal party; Mrs. Fran- cis Porter gives a euchre party In the afternoon; Mrs. Max Reighenberg will be hostess of the week's meeting of the N. I. T. Whist club; Mrs. Francis Kennedy and Mis Webster will entertain the Tuesday Euchre club at the home of Miss Webster. Wednesday evening at 8:30 o'clock the wedding of Miss Eithel Straight and Mr. David Edward McCulley at the .iome of Mr. and Mrs. F. R. St ght, 824 South Thirty-Aifth street. Mrs, Frank Blair Bmith will act as matron of honor, Misses Gapen, Helsell, Fensler, Hoffmeyer, John- san and Bessie Fensler will be the brides- malds and, Miss Eva Johnson the ring- bearer. Mr. Clyde Lyons of Council Blufts will serve as best man. The marriage of Miss Gertrude Macomber, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Macomber, and Mr. Frederick Warren Robinson of' Flatbush, N. Y., ‘will occur in the evening at the 3::::::“0 !ho“me, }im Emmet. street; the Gedding of Mr. Harry Fisher and ‘Miss b . daughter of Mr. and Mrs, - W. Barnard, will take place at Knox Presbyterian church at 7:30 o'clock. A certaln woman in town, who has the courage to do things, is receiving a whole lot of comgratulation just at present for putting a temporary damper, at least, upon hat very popular holdup known as the hower.” - While that sort of thing is all well enough as an expression of esteem for the prospective bride, it has become Quite another matter to her friends’ fathers and simply amounts to two wedding pres- ents where there was formerly but ‘one. And this is the view that the aforemen. tloned matron took of it and when last week a woman announced to her, tention of .giving a el linen shower daughter, she promptly told her !h!florw’:‘;: she appreclated the kindness of the giris, she should certainly never consent to her daughter's Aaccepting such an attention, one that she knew many could {11 nflor’d to l‘,::a'-“’.:h! refusal was taken as it was el and th Vi intended wnd, thy showers have not boen Talk about perseverance—o) ne than wh was wedded In Omaha last week honn that he was engaged to six different girls in succession before he succeeded In lead- :"‘ the seventh through the marriage serv- ce. Along with the rest of the Ju of one who for a season at least enjoyed the distinction of being the most talked of man In town, Prof. N. Hill Nesbitt. Bome time late last winter socloty was ap. prised of the arrtval of the professor by means of not a few personal notes to local fashionable women from out-of-town friends and a generous distribution of cir- culars that In addition to thelr guaranty | Of a method of teaching French conversa- tlon in five weeks bore a.likeness of Mr. Nesbitt that, by the way, scarcely did him Justice. Accompanylng the announcement was an invitation to all interested to at- tend the first meeting of his class, and that meeting marks the beginning of a sea- son from which radiates fncldents and doings galore. The class was replete with promise from the start, for the sample was Interesting if nothing more. The member- #hip included half the feminine half of the smart set—and some others—and last, but by no means least, was the professor him- self. Within a week the “French class’ was as much an institution In town as the cotlllion, the Woman's club or even the morning musicales. In fact it took prece- dence over these in the estimation of the members, for with three classes a day daughters were kept out of school to at- tend, while everything else dependent upon the soclety women went begging. It was quite out of the question to find women at home mornings or afternoons and when evening came they might as well have been away, for unles$ one spoke French or Was at least conversant with the latest charm of .the versatlle professor he soon found he had little of Interest to My Lady. Pink and white luncheons were given ‘the professor, and progressive luncheons, (0o, whore, It is sald, the women progressed in turn to the chairs at the side of the NO WOMAN IS BEAUTIFUL on whose face. neck or arms Seuring blotches of Hhere ot S Superfluous Hair There s only ene method of removing Slclane: wurpeons, dermatolagiots and medi: 5 . dermatol and modi. ¢al Journals, and that is - Ve Miracle ® wondertul liquid preparation, which in- stantly removes the halr by dissolving It, retarding and dlllru)’ln{nlu growth, with- out the slightest injury to the skin or com- rlllin I % nless and it talls to ll.ll.d :»oob argest - rominent phy- free.

And there were dinners and flowers, too, And numerous other at- tentions that inspired the male relatives of some of the smartest women In town with a varlety of emotions. But through all the professor maintained a courteous, impartial mind that but added to his pop- ularity, and when the five weeks at last came to an end, as all things must, before taking his departure he gave each of his former puplls a portralt of himself as & parting souvenir. When the French ass opened in Lincoln a week later several Omaha women found it convenlent to visit these and, of course, went into the class Feeling sure he had not worn his welcome in Omaha out, the professor returned to give an advanced course in French. This time the class was not quite so large, but its members were quite as enthusiastic as ever. In fact, one woman, whose mis- fortune it was to be seated at the rear of the room, described those ahead of her as itting with their ears hanging over the back of the seat In front of them." By this time the class was working in com- position and the students vied with each other in poetical efforts, many of them addressed to their instructor. A question box was the next thing in order, and then it became evident that something was in the wind of which all were not aware. With persistent frequency some of the women asked questions about Kansas City. They wanted to know it the professor had ever been there, when he expected to g0 back, what his errand would be and how long he would be gone, all of which evi- dently embarressed him not a little, until one day everybody learned that the pro- fessor had gone to Kansas City, had been married there and had returned with his new wite to Omaha. The French class has now closed and its remnant is studying paychology under its former instructor. He says this is his real work, that French was but a means. A few have met the bride and, It is =ald, that the others are now meeting with him mornings, playing hearts—in French. Town Toples in its lssue of & week ago glves more of the detalls of the fractured engagement in which an Omaha soclety man now wearing Uncle Sam's uniform figures in one of the title roles, to which allusion was made In these columns last Sunduy. For the benefit of busybodies who want to keep fully informed of all the soclal doings we reprint the story here- with: ““The prospects for another soclety-mil- itary wedding have fallen through. The engagement of Mrs. Frank M. Avery of Chicago to Mr. Willlam G. Doane, lleuten- ant of the Sixteenth infantry, U. B. A., s off, and it is gossiped in Chicago that the dashing Mrs. Avery has jilted her former love to become engaged to an Englishman of prominence, though no one seems to know who the Englishman is. I predicted when she went to London last summer that after she got a taste of social life there something of the kind was likely to oceur, for, compared to London and con- tinental gayety, the prospect of life in a lonely army post would appear mighty dreary to a woman of Mrs. Avery's nature. I am told that the wealthy Chicago widow first met her new flance at a house party given by the duke and duchess of New- castle last summer, and that the wooing has been desperate ever since. Mrs. Avery seems to have lost her head through the attention she has received on the other side. She had told all of her friends she would return home this month, but now the fickle widow has taken a house in London with the intention of remaining until next winter. BShe has announced that she will then take a house in New York, but her friends in Chicago believe she intends to make London her perma- nent home. Her mother, Mrs. E. 8. Clark, and her young son are with her. The breaking of the engagement s regrettable, for 1t spoils the rounding out of a romance that began In youth, when Mr Avery, then the beautiful but poor Mae Clark, and ‘Bllly’ Doane were residents of Omaha. Mr. Doane is the son of ex-Judge Doane of Omaha. At present he Is stationed at an obscure post in Bouth Carolina. I won- der what he has done with the rare col- lection of photographs of Mrs. Avery that used to be the talk of certaln army circles.” The same number of the same spicy sheet contains another bit of information of spe- clal interest to Omaha people whose mem- orfes go back to the soclety belles of other days, when Miss Lou ljams was at tho front in everything that was worth getting into. Without conjuring up visions of what might have been in store for her if things had been different it is sufficlent to say that she is about to be re-married in New York, where she has been living in a new atmosphere the past two or three years. Here is the item that tells all about “The engagement of “Jimmy" Inglis to Mrs. Loulse 1jams Lander came rather as a surprise to his many friends hers, as he has long been considered one of a coterle of confirmed bachelors, having neared three- score years without having ventured his bafk on matrimonial seas. Nor is the financee in the first bloom of youth, and she has disposed of one husband through the medium of a Chicago divorce court. Prior to her final separation—tor there were several reconciliations—from her first, she one day ventured too near the danger line n ice-covered Lake Michigan and was res- cued' from & chilly grave by & policeman.” Miss MacMaster left Friday on her vaca- tion tour, which will include Boston, New York and the seashore.

Merritt will be graduated from Hebrew Union college at Cincinnati next Saturday, June 7, With the degres of Mr. Merritt will visit his parents in this city briefly and then spend another year in study in Europa.
