Mrs. Grovcr Cleveland Is just now the most interesting woman In Now York soci ety. Every member of the 400 Is talking of her beauty , refinement , grace ana , above all , of her fascinating manners. Said a well known society lady in speak ing of Mrs. Cleveland : "Sho is a revelation to us all. She has loft in Washington all tlfo cold and formal manner which her positllon made necessary , and has conic to us the most charming and lovely of women. " This little speech voices the sentiment of all society regarding Mrs. Cleveland. When It flrst became Known that Bho was not to stay In Washington another four years , it was .questioned if Mr. nnd Mrs. Cleveland would gain entrance into the exclusive circle In Gotham. Two days after their arrival in town they attended the opera at the invitation of Mrs. Edward Cooper , at whose house they dined. The ox-first lady of the land looked more than ordinarily lovely In a gown of soft white , with a Dig cluster of white roses on tbo corsage. Every onn looked at and ad mired her , and some of the noted beaux , like Arthur Leary , who Is always won by a charming face ; Creighton Webb , who said ho was won because Mrs. Cleveland paid at tention to the opera ; Jack Astor , Tom Howard and Harry Lo Grand Cannon , found their way into Mrs. Cooper's box and were I \ introduced. * , Mrs , Cleveland promised to attend Mr. Damion'H tea at his studio on the following Wednesday , and she did attend with Mrs. Whiuiey , wlfo of the ox-secretary , who Is knawn nnd loved by every oi > o of the 100 , and Is herself one of them. Miss Amy Bond , the prettiest debutante of the season , poured out tea for Mrs. Cleve land , and slu ) was Introduced to about throe hundred people. Mrs. Willard Ward , who is an intimate friend ; Mrs. Whitney , Mrs. Calvin Brice unit Mrs. Frederick GoodrKlgo all gave dinner parties In Mrs. Cleveland's ' honor. Bho attended the opera until the last night , and has already become flrmly cstab- lUhud as a beauty and a leader. Since Mr , Cleveland loft on his southern frlp ahu has lived quietly at flio Hotel Vic toria , refusing all Invitations for the oven- Ing. She made one exception and dined en famlllo with Mrs. Ward during the week , and was given u luncheon by Mrs. John C. Westorvolt. r Mrs. Cleveland Is an exceedingly busy woman at present , nnd has so many duties outside of her social one * ) to attend to , She bas accepted the invitation of the centennial Vail committee to Unnco Inw \ opening quad rille , und the new dress necessary for the occasion und her spring out lit takes heroften to the dressmaker's. She receives hundreds of Invitations and application ) ) each day to ] oln different charitable concerns or to at- to'id ' fair * and b.wiuira for charity , and the requests for her autograph count over thirty each dnv. Her dresses were all exquisitely taste ful. Nona of them nro made decollete. Thoxo for the opuru or ball room wear half elbow elcevc * and equaro corsages , showing the fair white throat and rouuiloit armx. Her dinner costumes have the square opening filled in with lace or Illusion. A dinner gown which she has worn but once is of pearl-Bras , crepe , mmlo with an accordoon plaited skirt and embroidered with ptnlc rosebuds. The bodice is JJlroc- to I re , with u vent of pink brocaOo und trim ming of pink aud silver pussei tntarle. A ' ol dark fawn UlLUi SVuu- caiso , with panels of fancy golden brown nnd fawn velvet , und Is worn with a Jaunty seal coat and a llttlo golden and fawn bon net. net.One of her most becoming morning powns is of white and pink eiderdown , made with Watteau back and n front of torchon lace over pink silk. With this she wears little pink slippi-rs. Her taste Is for the more sub dued tints and she cares very little for Jew elry , although she has some handsome dia monds. She Is especially particular about gloves and shoes and other little details of the toi let. It may interest some feminine readers to know that she wears n No. < ! Jf glove and a No. 3X shoo , nnd that both might bo smaller if slit ? cared to wear tight shoes , or gloves to spoil the symmetry of nor shapely ivhlto hands. Ono of her admirers , a woman of noted lulturn and social prominence , said the ithcr day : " 1 never know a more womanly woman .him Mrs. Cleveland. She is so sweet , kind and noble. She is always interested in .ho work dqno by women , nnd is partlcu- .arly interested in working women. Her tact in society , her lovely reserve of man ner , so rarely found these days , and yet her 'rankncss In conversation , make her ex- remcly fascinating to old and young of both sexes.

Mayor Broatch on behalf of No. 18 , welcomed the gathering and made every 0110 feel that ho or she was an important atom in the general .mako.up , and this without imposing a fooling of self that would seolc to tread on the toes of others. His words were observed in the spirit and let ter in such earnestness as to insure an enjoy able time. Miss Florence L. Baker ex tended her musical soprano in a well se lected solo , and Mr. Henry Creighton seized the favorable mood of the assembly to deliver an address brimful of facts sustain ing the enthusiastic belief of Workmen that their organization , swelled by all humanity , would mnko of this world a paradise. Ho dwelt on the fraternal impulse the while , not neglecting to add his own satisfactory exper ience In the insurance of the lodge as tending to feliow * that this insurance was really a fraternal provision for the needs of depen dents. The baritone of Mr. C. C. Eason was called upon , and the gentleman had to sub mit to an encore. The duet of Mrs. Seavoy and Miss Uooloy was a revelation of mel ody , and the piano responded inarvelously to the touch of Prof. WIndoiph. Mrs. Soa- voy , under compulsion , gracefully sang. Mrs. Miller's sweet soprano stole through the room and into the hearts of nil hearers. The duet of Mr. Baker and Mr Easson and the bass of Mr , John McEwing Hupplomen- tcd a musical arrangement of great excel lence , The banquet attended to , the ball , Including a reel dedicated to the Ancient Order of Unltca Workmen , was subjected to much devotion.

Messrs , Roberts , MoEwing und Lenox lent their musical power to tbo occasion. The speeches , gently sprinkled by their own great , worth and the adaptability of the audience , were not at all dry. The reunion was so 'well np- predated that realization of the hour of partIng - Ing was effected only on the testimony of all the watcncs present aided by the striking of the publio clocks. Past Grand Master E. Klal , of Kansas , was among the guests. A partial list of our neighbors Is given. Those from South Omaha were P. McMation , Joseph Huuiplo , O. E. Hood , Al Anderson , P. E.

Union Pacific' lodge No. 17 , has reason to feel some satisfaction In tlio result of her labor. Therein a good regular attendance and the brotherly feeling always sustained has made the lodge powerful. Powerful not only by increasing mombnrshlp , but above all , in-fulflling the principles of the order. Where such united efforts are exhibited it cannot bo otherwise than that extra good re sults must follow. As a member of the A. O. U. W. for twelve years I feel myself en titled to say that I fully bcllovo that it ranks among the best of mutual orders. Nearly twonty-ono years huvo passed since our or ganization and the order has shown what it in reality is. Thousands of widows and nioro orphans have been kept from distress. In many bereaved families the money obtained from this insurance has been used for educa tion , and in this way was used well , creating noble , big hearted , charitable men and women. Such thoughts make a workman's Heart overflow with Joy. Especially do those members who attend lodge meetings regularly feel this. It is three years since the writer was elect ed to membership in this lodge. Ho then became - came acquainted with several members , who alas , do not now honor us with their pres ence. ence.Ho has scon members initiated , who , after that ceremony never returned. These mem bers keep in perfect standing , pay up dues and assessments promptly to the financier , but are never seen In the lodge room. For such brothers I nm exceedingly sorry , and on that account I rnlso my voice through the lib erality of our much esteemed Su.su vy UIB in-order , if possible , to warm their hearts , to inspire them with more enthusiasm for the order , to mnko them not only good payers , but also to encourage them to participate in the beautiful brotherly feelings expressed In our gatherings. I hope It may bo sufficient to say that the meetings Imvo Improved in attractiveness slnco tlirco years ago. and if such non-attonding brothers will como in the future they will feel themselves richly rewarded warded for their effort.
