Anyone who has ever attended one of the Assembly club dances of pre war days will rejoice to know that another of these famous parties is scheduled for the holidays. A good many years ago George Van Ryitit, Charles Hannan, jr.; Dr. Mac Hanchctt and a few others con ceived the idea of forming a dancing club among the socially prominent young people of the city, and at in tervals throughout the winter months formal parties were held in the ball room of the Grand hotel. Membership was by invitation only and these dances were, real events. After several successful winters the sponsors of theclub asked some of the ladies to take charge of the af fair, and it was then that Mesdames Charles T. Stewart, J. J. Hess, George Van Brunt, Charles Hannan, jr., and Chester Dudley assumed the management with equally .good re sults. . Then war was declared arid there was no further desire for such con viviality. However, a small amount of money still remained in the treas ury, so last week it was decided to hold a party in the Eagle hall Decem ber 29. . The ladies have been calling up the various original members and a few others, so probably 60 or more couples will attend, and each man will be assessed the amount neces . sary to make up the deficit. A midnight slipper is to be served and arrangements for this feature of the party are in charge of Mrs. Rob ert Turner, Mrs. Harry Menold and Mrs. Henry B. Jennings. . t Luncheon. Mrs. E. A. Wickham entertained at luncheon last we? for Mrs. Anthony French Merrill, who is con ducting a series of educational lec tures, in Omaha. Bridge.

Bride of Week Lenor S. Fittgerald. The marriage of Miss Lenor S. Fitzgerald, daughter of Mrs. Mary A. Fitzgerald of Omaha, and C. L. Clark, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Homer Clark of Lincoln, will take place Wednesday at the home of the bride's mother. Only the immedi ate families will witness the cere mony, which will be performed in the living room before an impro vised altar of roses and palms. The bride will wear white canton crepe trimmed with Venetian lace. Her lace veil, made in a coronet, will be held in place with a silver band. Platinum Shoulder Straps Another serious question of the day is the management of the shoulder strap. 1 he bateau peck line continue; therefore, the nui sance of the exposed shoulder strap continues. Certain French women exploited at Deauville, the French watering place, a new invention of a jeweller. It was a pair of fine platinum chains. One went over each shoulder and held the undershirt or chemise. If this bit of jewelry was exposed by the oblong opening of the frock, who cared? Everybody rejoiced. It was a pretty bit of finery, a fantastic idea, well received. The French who could not af ford platinum chains used shoulder straps to match their gowns. As black has been the' universal color they needed small variety in the shoulder straps. The one possible kind of 6trsp is satin ribbon or elastic. Hundreds of women continue to sit in public places looking as though they thought themselves perfectly turned out while the white ribbons of their undershirt and the pink ribbons, of their brassiere rose and fell and loop ed over the bare skin. One wants to throw a shawl over such women to hide their inadequate interior ar rangement of apparel. She will carry a shower bouquet of bride's roses. A dinner at the Fon tenelle will follow the ceremony and the couple will leave for an eastern honeymoon. They will make their home in Lincoln.
