Much Interest in Florida.

The west Florida exhibit was visited by
large numbers Of people Saturday. and the
many new features that have been added
during the week ELECTED many exclamations
Of surprise and pleasure. A large number
Of prepared palmetto plants have been
placed in the exhibit and they are SO real
that it is hard to detect them from the
natural ones. Among the many things OF
interest is cotton on the stalk and in bales.
There is large display of rice and native
sugar, and the cocoanut fiber, such as is
used to make clothing in the Philippine
islands, is shown, as well as some other
articles made from the tree and It's products.
Some guava jelly, about the finest ever seen
in this country, is also an attractive feature,
especially for the women. number of
kissing bugs come in for their share of at
tention. The live alligators are continually
surrounded by crowd OF people. Frederick
Pfeifer. commissioner to the exposition from
Florida, announces that he will issue in
vitations in the near future for reception
! at the exhibit, at which time Florida COR
dials will be served.

The Upper tendon of Omaha society are
always slow to make the final plunge into
the social whirlpool. There are numberless
little luncheons and teas and informal clubs
that keep the surface in a constant ripple
and now and then a swell affair which woulo
seem to be forerunner of the gay season :;
but society lapses again into quietude and
promises nothing in the immediate future
to quicken the pulse of social life. AT
least two very elaborate occasions how
ever, are promised for the first part OF Mo-
vember, the coming out party of Miss Eliza,
beth Allen, the charming daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. F. w. Allen, whose debut into
society will be one Of the most brilliant
events Of the season, and the reception to
be given by Mrs. Metcalf in honor of the
Omaha brides. This last, too, promises to be
most elaborate affair. With two such
fashionable events, society will surely shake
of the lethargy into which it has fallen.

The silvery laughter OF many children
rang merrily through the large buildings
at the exposition grounds all day Saturday.
The White City was thronged with the
rising generation, who were there to have
a good time. The attractions for the day
were well patronized by enthusiastic young
people, who seemed to enter into the spirit
of things with vim and zest and in conse-
quence everything went with snap all day
long. The concert in the afternoon was a
good one, and Mr.. Belstedt gave the little
visitors some special music suited to their
tastes.
The Olympia running the mines was most
satisfactory, and the high diving and sham
battle drew out much applause from the
youngsters. Many brought baskets of
luncheon and ate supper on the grounds.

cursion will be here from that city.

That willy little fellow Cupid has engaged
in great deal of target practice lately and
has pierced the hearts OF a number OF Omaha
society people, whose engagements are al
ready announced or are trembling on the
brink Of publicity. But october is the ideal
month for weddings, not only theoretically,
but practically, as a glance through the
society column will show. In fact the
month is given over to weddings and enter
tainments for the bridal party, and after
these have received due consideration, So
ciety will show her attention to the
debutantes and gay season will be ushered
in. Two fashionable home weddings are this
result of Cupid's work this week and there
is a promise Of as many more for next.
Dame Rumor keeps up continual shak-

wagging Of her busy tongue concerning an
engagement which keeps society on the
qui vive, but NUNS the word till the an

about camp life that appeals TO us all:
