THE OMAWA DAILY IVBKi SUNDAY , .FANt'AHY 8 , 181M ) . STARFS THE XE\Y \ YEAR WEIL Holiday Season Proves to Be a Joyous Ono with Society Pwple , MANY DELIGHTFUL FUNCTIONS CARDED Indication * Hint from XIMV Until Lent the Moclnl Whirl Will He Filled tilth MoriThnn the Ijntml of Attraction * . The new year has been ushered In In the most Joyful manner possible , and It has been made the signal for universally festive gatherings and brilliant functions of every kind known lu the social world. The hearti ness of the welcome has never been ex ceeded and rarely equaled. The time-honored proverb that , "All'a well that ends well , " has surely been clearly demonstrated by the grand llnalo afforded the old year , by the climax of great events whlcli attended Its gorgeous exit ; nnd for that very reason there Is all the more faith to be placed In the equally old adage that "A good beginning makes a good ending , " BO that all anxious ilutterlngs of the social breast may bo once for all peacefully laid to rest. The busy llttlo gods , Cupid nnd Hymen , cannot possibly do better than follow In the well-chosen footsteps trodden by them dur ing 1S9S. The new year opened brilliantly with the reception given by Mr. and Mrs. 55. T. Llnd- Bey , the second dlnnur-dance of the season given by Mr. and Mra. W. S. Poppleton and Mr. and Mrs. Myron L. Learned at Elizabeth Place , which was preceded by eight delight ful dinners given at as many different homes. Mrs. Harry McCormlck's buffet luncheon and numerous smaller but none the less enjoy able cMiits made the week a busy one for Omaha , society folk. Xftv Yenr'M Heceptloii. Ono of the largest and most brilliant re ceptions of the season was that given by Mr. and Mrs. Zachary T. Llndccy , at their residence on Fortieth street , In the after noon and evening of Monday. The affair was arranged to occur on thnt day In ac cordance with the tlmo-honored custom of keeping open house on the first day of every year. In the reception hall the deco rations consisted of unusually fine holly , plentifully besprinkled with largo berries , whose ruddy tints harmonized perfectly i with the art red of the walls , frieze and ii i ceilings , to all of which the shining , ver dant hue of Its foliage formed a pretty con trast. Bunches of holly filled the hand- spmo Creplace , and < ui the mantel stood two wrought-Irou candlesticks , holding red can dles. Pink was the prevailing color In the dining room , where the decorations con sisted of pink roses and candles to match , to which the light and dark green of the mural tints formed nn effective background. The handsome parlors were well filled with guests during the receiving hours. The young women who assisted In receiving the afternoon guests were : Mesdamcs Charles Kountzo and George Palmer , who poured coffee In the dining room ; Miss Crounso and Miss Urn Kelly , who served delicious pink Ice In the reception hall ; nnd the Misses Flora Webster , Buck , Evans nnd Llndsoy.

Coffee was nerved In the dining room under the auspices of Mcsdames Hitchcock nnd Heed , while the reception hall , In which Ice was served , was presided over by Mrs. Carrier and Miss Millard. Sorliil Cliltchnt. The popularity of buffet breakfasts and luncheons Is decidedly and worthily on the Increase , nnd small wonder , for could a more delightful nnd enjoyable deviation from the regulation luncheon party possibly bo Imagined ? The success of the dinner- dances Is an assured fact nnd that they are much looked forward to events on the social calendar by all nobody can deny. Meetings of carJ clubs preceded by a luncheon are also much In vogue and find great favor with a largo number of the "upper ten. " Some novel and highly successful features Introduced nt a Christmas "bazar were a roof garden ( which contained a mlnlaturo theater ) , with a continuous program ; a "grab" bag for the children nnd silhouette artists. "cinch" recently A progressive party , given by a young society woman In an east ern city , caused quite a sensation and was pronounced a thoroughly enjoyable affair. A scries of luncheons to be given by prominent members of society has been or ganized In a city not far from Omaha. Each luncheon Is to represent the distinctive features of a foreign country. For example , suppose Great Britain to be the country ii chosen , the national colors would form the chief feature of the decorating scheme and the characteristics of that country be fatth- lully carried out even 'to ' the smallest de tails. Mr * . MrCoriulek'M Imitclieoii. The buffet luncheon given by Mrs. Harry McCormlck on Thursday at her home on Park avcnuo was ono of the most enjoyable and brilliant affairs of the week. The ra- past , which consisted of a number of dainty end recherche dishes , was served In two elaborate courses. The entire color scheme of red was tastefully carried out and n most becoming glow was shed upon the gay eccno , from which all natural light had been excluded , by the red candles with shades of the same color , which alone were used. The dining room was specially worthy of no tice. Upon the table stood handsome silver candelabra , holding red candlea. Lovely clusters of Neapolitan violets , whoso dell- clous perfume filled the air and whoso deli cately shaded petals and green foliage formed a pretty contrast to the ruddy glow shed by the waxen lights , added greatly to the beauty of the scene. The handsome centerpieces of Mexican drawn work were much admired by all. About fifty guests enjoyed the graceful hospitality of ttio hos tess. Mrs. Charles T. Kountzo presided over the coffee urn , and Mrs. A. L. Ileed poured chocolate. Assisting through the rooms were : Mesdamea Warren , M. Rogers , Ar thur Remington , H. II. Sprague , Dan Wtieelcr , Jr. , and the Misses Bessie Yates. Ida Sharpe and Elizabeth Peck. Delightful music was furnished by a stringed orchestra. More-infill * of Sooletjr People.
