WHERE SOCIAL JOYS ABOUND
Few Large Occasions Mark the Course OF
the Week Just Past.
MRS. AND MISS HoAGLAND'S PRETTY DANCE
Another CominE-Out party Adds 10
the Number of the Seasons buds
Young Men md Mnidcns De-
part for College.

Compared with the unusual activity Of
the time Immediately about New Years,
the week Just past has been blessed period
of moderate rest and refreshment to minds
and bodies wearicd with the relentless round
OF social pleasures The respite, however,
has not been for all elements Of the local
world Of society.
The advent Of the Chicago University
Glee club the FIRST Of the week was the
occasion for two or three more or less for
NAL functions and 1t was cause of com
meut that these social entertainments drew
out more Of the so-called polite set than
did the musical feast which these young
men set before the general public which
attended their concert.
The Hoagland dance on Wednesday in
honor of Miss Hoaglands guests was one
of the enjoyable affairs Of the season, as
well for, the completeness of details as for
the surplus of men which is always the
sure remedy for wall flowers.
The week was graced further with the
coming-out reception of one more debutante,
one who at tie beginning of the social year
had not been announced with the 1867
crop of buds. Only one or two more de-
butante functions remain for the present
season.
An excellent and wholly moral tale is
being told of certain young people not un-
known in a rank of society which subslsts
somewhat less than a thousand miles from
Omaha. The scene Is laid at large motel
and the occasion is a great and brilliant
dance. The immediate actors are bud oI
a year or two back an out-of-town man, ana
a mschievous daredevil maiden. The
spacious halls and georgous walls, ablaze
with light, give joy again to all. Couples are
seated en- tete-a-tete along the corridor ana
In quiet hooks and corners, while the SEN
suou5 strains of a waltz accompany the
trip of flying feet in the ball room beyond
A damsel and her escort suddenly issue forth
from the crowd of dancers, skirt the hall
hastily glance around them, and enter the
mans room hard by the landing The man
shoves the door in passing in, and 1t fails
to with a bang.
In their haste neither member OF the party
notices that the key protrudes on the out
side OF the door. 1t is just at this point
that the mischievous, daredevil maiden
comes gliding along the hall. She spies the
closed door and the tempting key, and, after
a moments hesitation, deftly turns 1t in
the lock- There is a click The imprisoned
couple rush to the door, but find 1t fast. The
panels culver under the touch OF the sup
pressed indignation. A hurried consultation
is held behind closed doors, and finally the
only way out of the dilemma is accepted.
The bell rings. The boy from the office re-
spends quickly. what is wanted, sir?"
Turn that key and let us out" comes the
mufIled response. The out-of-town man and
the season-old debutante emerge with their
wraps, and the atmosphere Is decidedly
chilled as they wend their way toward the
carriage door.
