lioniu on Tuesday ovcnliitf acted ns beckoning

"of eager ( picstn to tlio most conspicuously
brilliant social function of the waning sea
son. AH the doors on the north side swung
open to niltnlt tlie visitors , the rusn of Howcr

cry' Unit would luter beggar i v.iuriitlonwhcn |
the iliiz/ltM RIIZO rested on tlie DRacmblngo of
hi'aiity , liri'lilncss ( and physical dash that
lent themselves to the festival.
The gorgeous house with its charming ap
pointments , Its air of culture mid rellncmcnt
and the harmonious richness of coloring was
11 treat to the artlstlu taste , while the galaxy
of llower-llko loveliness in the graceful Jublloo
of youth , happiness and line feathers bla/cd In
tins eyes like the smiling skies of April.
Kverywlinro was a now "fascination and
n cfmnn ; " in the dainty , exquisite drawing
room framed With smilax and rows : In the
llower lirightc'nci ] llhrary through the vast
hull ; up the polished stairway , made gay
with palms , exotics and roses , to tlie reaches
of the canvas-covered ball room , where
twinkling heels Itept rythmle time to the rap
turous strains of the waltz. Small wonder
that youth exulted , that dowagers and ma
trons dreamed themselves girls again or that
the mcn-ahont-town of years ago openly
nvowed themselves equally susceptible with
the more ugilo members of the -100 to the
nwcet confusion of homo and foreign beau
ycaux. Omaha's bouquet of matronly charm
and girlish grace was cheek hy Jowl with
buds and blossoms transplanted for the occa
sion. The result was an embarrassment of
honov that reuuccd the bees in the way of
dancing men to a state bordering on intoxica
tion.
tion.On
On descending the broad stairway the
guests paused Involuntarily to drink in the
beauty of the animated scene , while their
hearts beat In happy consonance with the
music. The flower decorations were particu
larly noticeable on account of the admirable
taste shown In their selection and disposal *
The intrinsically beautiful mantel pieces were
smartened not covered with roses , a bowl of
pink ones on the stone shelf In the hall
afforded a point of charming color , while on
entering the plulr , blue and gold drawing
iiiom the eyes directly rested with pleasure
on the rich feast of bloom afforded by the
Jill's of glorious jacqueminots.
Jn the dining room the largo square table
wni adorned with a spring-time growth of
iimiili'ii-liiiir ferns , while pink candle shades
gave a touch of warmth us rosy us the dawn.

the supper admirably served by waiters

TWO HllllllHOIIlO Itc
The two receptions given by Air. nnd Alw.
Thuwton during the week , on Friday evening
in honor of Air. and Alw. W. H. Ilolcomb and
on Saturday in honor of the Aliases Huwley ,
were triumphs or brightness , beauty and hos
pitable grace. They were largely and orna
mentally attended , skillfully conducted and
happily consummated , The bijou of a house ,
than which nothing could bo more artisticallv
charming , was fairly embowered in roses and
spring flowers , the deep window seats being
transformed into banks whereon palms , ferns
and the India rubber tree grew for the oc
casion , while dqlicato hvdrangea and flaunt
ing tulips with wax like begonia and the
rich colored Icuverf of follngo plants added
alternately glorious and delicate coloring
to odd nooks and comers. The air was filled
with music from the hall above staiw , where
the orchestra , discoursed strains of falry-liku
sweetness , The perfume from "tho flowew
and the women's gowns combining to thrill
the .senses with continuous delight , inclined
the guests to the belief that the witchery of
the Arabian lights was closing them in a
species of pretty enchantment that must of
necessity bu broken by good ni ht.
The dining room down stalw wa.s remarka
ble in Its beauty. A square table covered
with elaborate linen decorated with pijik
roses on Thursday anil red one.s on Friday
was further adorned by myraids of pink-
shaded candles In exquisite cut-glass can
delabra that flashed with the prlsmotlc color *
of Jewels. Kvery where disposed about the es
sentially picturesque room were candles ,
dainty hits of china and glass that repre
sented wealth and good tusto in happy blend
ing , while the flower-tilled conservatory af
forded opportunities for the utter
ance of airy nothings remarkable
chiefly for their evanescent sweetness.
A Imndsomo supper was served by thoOmaha
club. In short everything showed a close at
tention oh the part of the agreeable host and
.hostess to the minutest detail calculated to
ensure the comfort nnd further enjoyment of
their guests.

Tlie Shakespeare Club.
On Tuesday evening tit the "Bacholore , "
4 10 North Twenty-second street , was held
the last meeting of the Shakespeare club ,
and It was with real regret that the members
said good-bye for a time to the gregarious en
joyment of the "Bard of Avon. " The wintew'
evenings with the poet have been altogether
delightful and none more memorabld'thau the
last which ended the season gracefully nnd-
even brilliantly. It was n selection night ,
and with the echoes of "Midsummer Night's
Dream" und Mendelssohn's delicious
music ns rendered by Miss Hustln
still in their cnw , the readers felt
some natural trepidation as to the outcome.
However , directly the. reading began with
the intelligent interpretation of'Caoh favorite
character an absorbing interest manifested
itself , thus proving that choice of pewonution
nn invigorating agent contrasted with which
the importance attached to a committee-made
cast is but an incident as ephemeral as mush
rooms. The programme was shorter than
usual , the .supper merrier , the only bitter In
the entire sweet being the absence
of Aliss Hustin and Air. Mackintosh ,
whom all had hoi > ed would grace
the occasion with their presence.
Apropro of the really artistic reading of
Shylock early in the season by ono of the
members , who gained fresh laurels on Tues
day , th'n following story suggests itself :
An old lady who had witnessed a perform
ance of "Tho Merchant of Arcnico" many
years ago , went again to see the story of Shylock -
lock enacted upon the stage. AVhen asked if
hho liked it , she replied : "Well , Acnic.eseeivis
to have spruced up some since the llrst time
I saw it , but Shylock is Just the same , mean ,
ordinary thing ho was forty years ago. "
I'owdcr , ItoiiKC and Patches.
On Thursday evening the gay notes of
music again echoed in the neighborhood of
"Hillside , " the occasion being a small im
promptu tote poudre dance gotten up by the
Alisses Yates in honor of their visitow , With
a little leaven of older folk to lend dignity.
Ten young women looking like ladies at a
French court festival , were full ball gowns
with powdered hair a la pompadour , a be-
gnitiug touch of rouge and an added allure
ment in the way of a saucy patch of black
court plaster. The touto ensemble was
picturesque and attractive to a ' degree , and
drew ; the eyes of the stabler folk from high
five oftener than is profitable when one's
wishes tend prizeward. Aliss Dewey in blue
and brown was strikingly handsome , Aliss
Eicholtz in blue and silver was radiant , Miss
Steel were a becoming gown of green nnd
pink en traine , Aliss Anna Alillard an exceed
ingly effective gown of black and red , Aliss
Kerr an airy confection of pink tulle , Miss
Florom Yates was charming In white , Aliss
Bessie rates a vision in red , Aliss Hawks in
pink was a pictnro , while Aliss AVilliams and
Aliss Orchard in black lace were sweet und
fetching to u degree.
The guests in addition were : Alw. Lemon ,
Alw. Johnson , Air. and Alw. Cowin , Air. and
Airs. Richardson , Air. und Airs. Haliscom ,
Aliss Hnnscom , Air. and Airs. Pritchett , Air.

Five Years Old.
Five yours is a quarter of a milestone , at
least in u baby's life und the passing of it , of
flower-crowned , candle-lighted and fed for the
nonce on bwcets Is a uever'to-bo-forgottcn oc
casion.
On Thursday little "Billy" Lander made
this live-league step through wonderland and
enjoyed , on this luminous afternoon , the com
pany of four little Howard street friends at a
1 o'clock dinner.
A birthday cake in the center of the table
surrounded by flowers nnd pretty colored
lollipops. The blnzo of a few candles ap
peared , each a Hash of time light to
tlio dazzled eyes . of the live .small
boys and the unquestioned possession of a
table , unencumbered by "grown folk , " filled
their hearts and their stomachs alike with
satisfaction. Edward Lonr might have got
ten new ideas for future jingles from the
" .spongctaueous" conversation , us , when tlio
Ice cream with grated brown bread In it was
served , ono small vUitor refused to eat It on
account of the "spots in it , "
Another sugely remarked that "havliigbecn
poisoned once on ice cream ho believed he'd
never eat it again , " and no amount of assur
ance that Dnldnff's Ice cream never Is pois
oned would move him to the acceptance of a
.spoonful. The little host did the honors
gracefully and remarked with a sigh at bed
time that he wished U were lust night , so ho
could have another birthday.
A Social
The "Starlight Social Club" was pleasantly
entertained on AVednesday evening nt the
homo of Air. J. Eponeter 4021 Izaiil street.
( James nnd music served to pass the houw
enjoyably , a guitar solo by Aliss H. Epeneter
being enthusiastically encored. The house
and lawn were brilliantly lighted with pretty
effect , and the supper party at half past ten
was as merry ns such nn occasion may l > e.

The season at the natatorlum has reopened

to turn tucnimldt sen > iffrecn with envy nnd
thrill , to new precautions , the timorous
mothers. The ralnbo obes of the electric
light arch are not monjjmrH-coloml than the
bathing suits adopted liy these sirens , und the
pretty expose .revolting from this
knce-plus'Ultru of n tsJeluty woman's cos
tume renders n mojfjfng spent as an
onlooker not altogether without profit.
On AVednesday a str4)l ) but select party of
women leaned front thpialcony | to watch a
partly small and partUv , large but also select
circle of swlmmew , and the splash and dash
nnd laughter made n decidedly merry hour.
Among the noticeably good swimmers ware :
Alw. Clowry and Aliss/jfda Wood of Chicago
and Alw. Henry Estubrook , while there was
n number of beginners who Inclined to the
shallows and the sliding board. One woman
who bares her pretty feet is the envy Of her
less fortunate sisters. Naturally there will be
u revival of the vexed question of how much a
woman may take off and still be clad In moral
beauty , but to offset this there will bo the
wholesome delight of the water mid the op
portunity afforded of seeing so much of one's
friends.

won selected as a favor for each guest
and the effect when added to their charming
toilettes was pretty iu the extreme. Dull
ness stops when champagne pops and the
result of looking upon the fascinating sparkle
of this wine of wines , was to given an added
zest to badinage and newiflago with a new
touch of roseleaf in the cheeks. Coffee in

saying , that ns his sister could neither read

On Friday afternoon the examination of
candidates for government positions ended
and the aspirants will probably have to wait
between ono nud two months before they will
If urn of the result of the ordeal.
On Thuwday occurred the examination of
applicants for positions In the departmental
service of the United States. There were
twenty-four pewons present , four of the num
ber being young ladles possessing all the
graces and personal charms proverbial to the
fair department clerks at Washington. The
gentlemen wore nearly all upwards of thirty
years of age and it number have long since
passed the meridian of life. One of the ap
plicants was u bright soldier from Fort
Leavenworth , who was anxious to Improve
his condition.
J.'ho candidates were opposed to seeing
their names in print lest they might not bo
successful In the work.
On Friday occurred the examination of ap
plicants for positions In the railway mail ser
vice , and forty-nine persons , nearly nil young
men , wrestled with the questions propounded
by the examiner.
Both examinations were similar to that re
quired for an ordinary second grade certificate
to teach school , with the exception that special
attention is paid to penmanship , the writing
of letters , spelling and capitalization.
The examination was conducted by Air.
George B. Hoyt of AVnshington , D. C. , travel
ing examiner for'.tho department , who was as
sisted by the local board , eoiisistingof Alessw.
AVntew , Pickens and Fltgerald.
Air. Hoyt is n gentlemanly nud sympa
thetic man who did all in his power to relieve
any ombarrassoniont on the part of the candi
dates. Speaking of departmental positions
Air. Hoyt said :
"I always feel Interested in
those who undergo these examinations mid
do all I can to encourage them. Washington
with its quick life is a place where they can
develop all the latent power and capacity they
have , or go to ruin quicker thau they will on
their native heath.
"TJio work iu the department is easy and the
clerks are off duty at 1 o'clock in tlie after
noon , leaving them considerable leisure time.
There are u great many professional and sci
entific schools in and about Washington , and
if one wishes to become a lawyer or physician ,
or to master some special line of science an
excellent opportunity is there offered him to'
earn enough money to support hint aud pay
all expenses of instruction. I could mention
a great manv grand men in this country who
have built themselves up this wilv.
"Unfortunately , however , drink and cards
employ the leisure houw of nine out of ten of
the clerks probably , and as a consequence
they rapidly go down to utter ruin. "
A French paper says of a recent mur
der : "The inisurtmnt was evidently iu
search of money , but M. Duraiid had
prudently deposited nil his cash in the
bank und consequently lost only his
life. "
