"HIS first warm weather sets society to think
ing of cool things ice water, fans, swimming
/ in cool pools, motor rides and trips to the
mountains and seashore. Summer homes are
coming into evidence and pcncs and outdoor af-
fairs are more and more frequent
Apropos to this we mention the fact that of
the chief inducements offered by the promoters of
the mammoth card party at the Auditorium for the
Old Peoples home is that the Auditorium will be 2
delightfully."- cool.
This charity card party is TO be stupendous
affair. Plans, prizes and crowd all being con-
sidered in right royal terms. The fair and the
great are being enlisted for the occasion Monday
any number of beautiful and popular young women
will invade the Offices and business houses Of the
city with tickets to sell. The mayor it is thought,
will lend his sanction to the scheme. FL
One matron, who wished to fill her own table,
paid $40 for her privilege, and having so done
wrote name of each Of her guests on the chance
slips for the big victroa. But she still had six
chances and so bless YOU if she didn't fill out those
slips with six names of the worthy poorl How's
that for genersoty2
One of the interesting events of the week which
will occupy the attention of great many society
people is scheduled for Tuesday. At that time the
patriotic American will celebrate the anniversary Of
MS country IccuOHl uiC uoHudSC VI Jidht
king and the establishment OF government of the
people for the people, and of course, you know the
rest, by dining at the country clubs, and perhaps
drinking the health of "Our ripping old country
Don'che know" All the clubs are arranging special
holiday entertainment for the glorious occasion.
The Country club has many reservations for the
dinner-dance. The Field club promises to draw
large share of its members into its fold for that
function, and Happy Hollow. club will not be OUT

and Carter club will be the of unusual NUM-
Der of lively parties. VI
The society movie" is to be repeated at our
own price You and I may, this week, satisfy the
longing Of our soul to aid the cause Of fair charity
by spending 10 or 20 cents to "One Summer in
Omaha" at Boyds. Others whose purses were
full but who could not for other reasons, attend
the other performances, will have the pleasure OF
witnessing the excellent movie staged by Omaha
citizens.
1t would be unknd for society story to ignore
visitors during the summer, for they are the main
spring of social life For them the fashionable world
lives and moves and has its being at this time of
the year. Bridge seems to be the favorite form OF
entertainment, perhaps because it is restfu physi-
cally and intellectually.
There are however some members of society
who prefer not to rest The school set and their
guests ignore the heat as bravely as soldiers, and
dance the afternoons and evenings away: Tho
energy which has been pent up in their young bodies
finds expression in all sorts of active things.
1t seems strange that not more people take adj
vantage of the cooler hours of the morning to give
breakfasts and the like. Cantaloupe on ce served
in the cool shade of vine -covered porch dainty
wicker table with bowl of gorgeous nasturtiums
for centerpiece awakes answering note in the
soul. But probably cantaloupes do not appeal to
the fastidous taste of those who entertain and vine
covered porches set with wicker furniture may be
common, and nasturtiums may be simply outre.
All me!
The last part OF the summer will be socially en-.
livened by three large weddings, Miss Helen Epene-
ter will be the first Of the young women to exchange
state of single blessedness for of married
felicity for her marriage will take place the last Of
July. In the early days of October, shortly after
the royal ball, Omaha will lose Miss Lucille Bacon
and Miss Alice Jaquith for fairy princes from tho
eastern lands will steal them away on prancing
chargers to live in munhcence Fairy princes
how pleasant that sounds to me- aboring here like
a gnome at his forge in the heart of the mountain.
Heart of the tain-that sounds cool, and So
let me close with that cool thought.
