IN The GAY SOCIAL WRIRL
Month Of May Brings with it Number Of
Pleasant Events,
MANY LUNcHEoNS AND TEAS ON THE CARDS
Deyotees of Society to Make the Best
of the Opportunity Before
the Coming of the
summer.

II to be up-to-date one must be original,
Omaha society women can certainly lay
claim to that virtue, so much so that those
from other cities who are fortunate enough
10 gain a glimpse of the inner workings Of
society here are favorably and lastingly
impressed by the various distinctive fea-
lures which this and that hostess will give
TO her tea, luncheon, reception or card
party, and the inventive faculties and pow
ers Of entertaining. One OF the chief reasons
for the unfailing success with which all the
social affairs which occur in this city are
attended is the fact that no hostess ever
arranges dinner, theater or card party, or
sends out her invitations to either luncheon,
tea or dinner without carefully considering
for few moments whether those whose
names are on her rough list are sufficiently
congenial to each ether to enjoy one an
others society for two or three hours. This
is an excellent and safe rule for every young
hostess TO take unto herself and which en-
tirely does away with that, than which moth
ing Is more dreaded, the "mauvais quart
d'heure" which so often casts wet blanket,
so to speak over part II not the whole OF
what would otherwise prove an exceedingly
ENJOYABLE affair.
