LAST evening the country clubs closed in n blaze of glory. Large dinner and dancing, parties, the biggest and best of the season, made the big summer gathering places gay and glad yestere'en. This has been a most successful season because of the charming weather. Golf and tennis have kept the outdoor enthusiasts busy. Luncheons and dinner-dances have been the field of the enthusiastic young folks. Visitors in great numbers have been in our midst, and the clubs have proved the coolest and most inviting places for their entertainment The Coun try club was the scene of several large dinner par- ' ties last evening,' among the most notable being those given by Mr. and Mrs. Barton Millard, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Redick and Mr. and Mrs. W, D. Hosford, Field club members entertained royally at their closing party. Dutch treat parties and individual -dinners ranging in number of. guests from twenty down and from two up made the dining and dancing halls brilliant. The four or live hundred members who have enjoyed so many pleasant occasions at the Happy Hollow club this summer turned out in force for the grand finale. Large parties of twenty five and groups of eight and ten were the most popular numbers, and mingled with the two-somes-and four-somes who thronged the club house. Carter Lake club had one of its special parties on the closing night. The gala masked half, with us carnival streamers and its prize-winning cos tumes, was a fitting climax to the successful season which that club has enjoyed. Seymour Lake club held its formal closing Friday evening, and at that time celebrated the harvest home season with bounteous harvest home dinner. This club, and practically all the others, will still be open for mem-' bers in an informal way,, if any late golf, tennis or water enthusiasts wish to avail themselves of the clubs' facilities for these sports. With the passing of the country club season comes the initial event of the winter social season. By far the most important and interesting event to society in general is the grand coronation ball at the Ak-Sar-Ben Den Friday evening, followed by the masked ball on Saturday evening, which the king and his regal consort will attend. The fascinating; t mystery of the identity of their royal majesties is keeping us all on tip-toe with excitement The an nouncement of the special maids and of the ladies and maids-in-waiting of the court adds zest to the situation, for now we can guess narrowly who tha favored ones will be. , Dancing will begin at about 9:30 o'clock, after the coronation ceremonies, and will continue until 3 o clock in the morning, according to Mr. W. D.' HoSford of the ball committee. The Ak-Sar-Ben governors will wear their costumes until 11 o'clock. Refreshments will be served from 10 o'clock on, -Dinners preceding, and suppers after the ball at the Omaha club and the Fontenelle will be resplen -dent affairs to which all our beauty and chivalry will be invited. The two brides, Miss Alice Jaquiti e'.id Miss Lucile "Bacon, with their fiances and wed ding parties will be at the Omaha club; the Pen-field-Bacon party as the guests of Miss Anne Gif. ford and Miss Harriet Smith. The Vail-Jaquith" party will be entertained at dinner before the ball by Mr. John Caldwell, and will be among the guests at the big party given by Miss Gertrude and- Mr. Philip Metz for their guests, the Misses Harriet and. , Norma Mack of Buffalo, N.
