Few and far between, indeed, were the
events of last week. making It one of the
dulest of the entire season Yet It is safe
20 say no one regretted the respite, for
everyone was occupied with Christmas
shopping and in preparing for the arrival
Of the young folks and other guests and
the festivities incident to their presence.
The premier function of the week. and. in
fact, one of the conspicuous events Of the
season, was the baby dance given by Miss
McShane and Miss Kirkendall, while the

tors, wedding and one or two club meet
ings completed the calendar for the week.
The coming fortnight will fully compen-

reigning supreme, for the days VIII be
practically given over to the young people
home from college, their elders taking a
back seat until after the new year. Fill
the week with dances, suppers, dinners and
luncheons, with reception or two and al
many impromptu affairs as can be crowded

The announcement that a movement is
on foot to form an ice hockey club at the
Omaha Rod and Gun club at Cut-On lake
will be received with enthusiasm by lovers
OF ice skating and out door sport. This is
q game which is growing as popular in
Canada and the east as golf, and one
which golfers take to readily, and a ma
tional organization is now in existence
The keeping open Of the Omaha Rod and
Gun club houses and the continuance OF
the car service will make the place A
favorite rendezvous and many skating
parties will undoubtedly be given there. as
members can obtain lunches there and find
warmth when chilled.
The last few days brought the confirma-
ton of two rumors which have been
sfoat for some time-the engagement Of
Mr.. N =. Dodge, jr. and Miss whitney of
Boston and the approaching marriage Of
Mr.. Gould Dietz and Miss Putnam OF
Lincoln. Both young men have been num-
bered among the most popular young
bachelors Of Omaha and, although they
have been very attentive to the debu-
tantes for several seasons, and their
names have often been linked with sew
eral young women In local society, both
have chosen. out-of-town maids for their
wives.

been a regulation dancing party. II is

infantiles, must have wondered II nature
was actually so unkind TO them when
they were really that age.

The announcement Of the engagement
