Not even the most unappreciatve and
fault-hnding Of Dame Soclety's loyal adher-

good reports to give Of the many gay
events which have made the last six days
such very memorable ones In the upper
strata OF the beau monde OF Omaha. Red
letter events have been the rule AMI not
the exception during the last week and
almost every kind OF social function with
the smallest claims to popularity among
the members of the 400 has been well rep
resented.
Weddings, receptions, card parties, pre-
ceded by luncheon, and card parties fol-
lowed by lunchng, and last but not least
Of all, dances, have each and all been well
represented and heartily enjoyed in every
case by hosts. hostesscs and guests.
The prevalence of fine weather and the
elegant creations which have been prepared
in anticipation of the hosts of brilliant
events which are always in attendance upon
the early summer season are responsible
for the ever increasing length of the list
OF social events, which are and will be
hailed with delight until the increased ardor
with which Old Sol casts his glowing eye
apon Mother Earth shall force a halt to be
called and cause a cessation of all festivi-
tics of formal character, at any rate.

chincse EHcIurion WIN he Enforced.

NEW YORK, April 29--The Treasury de-
partment has ruled that the act excluding
Chinese from this country must be en-
forced to the letter. Relating to the ap-
plication of a Chinaman on the ground that
he was formerly engaged in this country as
a merchant, Assistant Secretary Spauldng
says:
The testimony should show specifically
the kind of work the Chnaman has done
during the entire year and after detailing
the character of such work should say that
he has not performed any other labor than
that specifically set forth. With such testi-
mony the customs officers will be able to de-
termine whether the applicant was a mer,
chant within the meaning of the law"
The new ruling is of especial significance
in view of the recent changes in the Chinese
division of the local customs service.
