Show D Society Sauntering?. Jb 1 , It was most distressing to read in one of the ' dailies of recent date thatrit would take George Wilier" Heintz some time $o adjust himself to present conditions in local swelldom." What the writer evidently meant was that inasmuch as the landmarks of 'igh society cannot get used to the changed conditions, it would be much harder I for one who had been sojourning in the provinces to accustom himself to the kaleidoscopic ensemble presented on a busy night at a public reception Here. But we do hope that George will feel more I and more at home, so by the beginning of another season he will know enough people to occasional- j ly wrestle with a cold snack on Sunday night, un- ' , der the protecting wing of some good soul who will take pity on the lonely. I think George will ? agree that he made a mistake when he returned I Here without letters of introduction. And he should correspond with some good clipping I bureau immediately in order to familiarize himself with the names of the real leaders. By the way, where is local swelldom? B i$ i$ I ? I received a letter from a minister during the week stating that he disliked to discontinue his IH J subscription, but that he did not like "the moral I tone of the social columns," so felt obliged to do So. Clearly he has no grounds for complaint, for I I J have looked over the back files carefully, and fail 1 ! to find any moral tone. ! ;jj & & & I I Again are we a united country. Henry Peery i ame in from San Francisco yesterday, and Sam I Wewhouse will arrive from New York today, and I I even if the edges near the oceans will tip up a I bit; the country will have to stand for it for the 4 1 two weeks these young men will be here. I Sam has a vastly clarified vision of the golden future, since the operation on his eye, and Henry it has opened a new line of thought at Gbldfield. Mr. Newhouse will hardly be here long enough to open the big house and wind up the motor, for he leaves for Europe in a couple of weeks, and will remain abroad all summer. Mr. Peery has returned primarily to attend the wedding of his sister, Miss Louise Peery, whose marriage in Ogden next Wednesday will be the social event of the week in that city. & & & Mrs. G. B. Pfoutz, Mrs. J. M. Bidwell and Mrs. D. J. Sharp will be the hostesses at the Country Club today, and have arranged for an approaching and putting contest, clock golf, and tennis, an assortment as-sortment of things athletic that should prove very attractive. The tennis tournament of last week was all to the mustard, and the absent brothers who missed the treat will be out in force today. A table d'hote luncheon is scheduled at the. club for next Wednesday. u$ We'dding "bells have been in such demand at all hours of the day and night the past week that there has been little time socially for anything else. This June has been a record-breaker, for everyone who has not been married is announcing an engagement or trying to, and in many cases these announcements mean marriages. I wonder if the young ladies who arp principally interested in these marriages realize how they impose on the overworked society reporters. Probably not. A very beautiful wedding gown, and everything that goes with it, are very commonplace to the average aver-age news getter who is busy and has seen such things before, but I know of one girl who held a little woman three hours the other day to show her almost everything she possessed. And the best she got was a story that was cut, on account of late copy. & & The engagement of Miss Sarah Alexander to Ashby D. Cleveland, announced during the week, has been the most interesting social topic, for in the genuine sense of that much abused word popular, there are few young people who have so many friends. Miss Alexander is one of the brightest and most accomplished girls in the smart set, and Cleve is a decided "catch" for any one. They will be married in October. tC The following story from Town Topics will be of interest to the many local friends of all the parties concerned: At last there is something definite in the case of Lieutenant William L. Karnes, of the Sixth cavalry, U. S. A., ,and the brilliant divorcee, Mrs. Jessie Dickinson Lyman, daughter of Edward Dickinson, vice president and general manager of the Orient railroad. Their wedding will take place June 7 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dickinson Dickin-son in Omaha. Lieutenant Karnes will then, at his own request, be relieved from duty as aide-decamp on the personal staff of Brigadier General Wint, commander of the Department of the Missouri, Mis-souri, and with his bride will go abroad. Upon their return he will join his regiment, the Sixth cavalry, at Fort Meade, S. D., for duty. Though not a West Point graduate, having entered the f army only in 1899, serving as aide to General Wint in the Luzon insurrection and with General Chaffee Chaf-fee in China, Lieutenant Karnes is of a good old Virginia family one of "the most popular officers connected with the headquarters. Those who know his fiancee are speculating how she is goirig to live on the salary of a first lieutenant. Notwithstanding Notwithstand-ing that General Wint must have known of the approaching wedding of his aide-de-camp, Mrs. Lyman was not at the large reception given by him and Mrs. Wint in May, although, as a mem- ,ber of his staff, Lieutenant Karnes was one of the assisting party; and General Wint neither confirms con-firms nor denies the report that Mrs. Lyman was not invited nor that the resignation of Lieutenant Karnes is the outgrowth of the incident. A wedding in keeping with the position of the Dickinsons is out of the question for two reasons: First, Dr. Harry Lyman, the divorced husband, is critically ill in Omaha, and sympathy would probably prob-ably keep many away; and secondly, after snubbing snub-bing Mrs. Lyman as he has, it is doubtful if General Gen-eral Wint will attend, and if he does not, what about the other prominent members of the army I contingent? Jessie Dickinson and Dr. Harry Lyman, son of ! the millionaire banker, C. W. Lyman, were mar ried five years ago, and after touring the country in a private car, settled down in Omaha for a year or so. Then she took her infant son and went to California and Dr. Lyman gave up his practice and retired to a sanitarium. "Drugs," the gossip said, and blamed the absent wife. Now he is a wreck physically and is never without an attendant. attend-ant. Last fall Mrs. Lyman returned to Omaha, met Lieutenant Karnes, and one morning broke all Nebraska records by obtaining a divorce with in a few hours, in spite of the fact that she had said she never would. Non-support and cruelty were the grounds. She was granted the custody of her son. Some said that Dr. Lyman's physical I condition had suddenly begun to improve at the expense of the mental, and her sudden change of mind was due to this fact. During the horse show young Karnes' devotion first became conspicuous, conspicu-ous, and, when a few weeks later, it was rumored that they would be married in March in California Cali-fornia under the Nebraska law a divorcee cannot remarry in six months Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Lyman Ly-man immediately departed for a tour of the Medi terranean and Egypt and only returned last week. Notwithstanding her disregard for other people's opinion, Mrs. Lyman has staunch friends among those who count, and her wedding will be an event of no small consequence in Omaha society and railroad' circles, if not in the army. t$ Henry McCornick took a merry party to Provo on Sunday in his big motor. The return was made late in the afternoon in time for dinner at the club. These Sunday junkets are becoming quite the thing since so many big machines have been brought to town, and summer Sundays will find Salt Lake society scattered from St. George to Soda Springs, if the craze for motoring continues. con-tinues. 5 "Good night, ladies, we're going to leave you now." But just for a moment. That will be Monday Mon-day evening, which you may have all to your dear selves, while we attend an informal little event at the Salt Palace, given by Mr. Gardner and Mr. O'Keefe. It may be in the nature of a surprise to some to know that there will be a decided blonde and a pronounced brunette who are leaders in their respective re-spective social cliques at the ringside. The tickets have been purchased, and unless they lose their nerve or their husbands restrain them, as they should, the wife of a great jurist, and a charming representative of one of the fashionable apartment apart-ment houses will be at the ringside. iC The story of the marriage of Miss Lupe Rivas and M. Earl Cummings, which took place in San Francisco on Wednesday, contained much of local interest. An extract from the Chro le says: M.

There is going to be a little supper up on the fl est side tonight with covers laid for several. The H j; delightful hostess says it will be a Dutch supper, j ' but she couldn't give an affair that wasn't dainty j and full of chic Frency ideas, not even if the re- 4 freshments consisted of corned beef and cabbage, and the amber brew. We'll see you there after the BF j club today. E 'j j ! A New York wedding of a few .days ago will Hf ; j be interesting news to the friends of the bride in I I this city.
