Mra. Cleveland In Society.
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. "

Thursday in the Barker building Imll about
one hundred persons , members of the Omaha
ledge No. 18 , and their families and guests ,
made up a social party. 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. Chief Scavoy , In full uni
form , acquitted himself to his own satisfac
tion , and that of everybody else. Ho is a
graceful dancer.
In a measure accounting for the success of
tbo gathering Is this list ol officials : Mauler
of ceremonies , Henry Creighton ; floor man
ager , Addison Jones ; assistants , G. II.
Vaughn and George Chaplin ; committee of
arrangements , Henry Creighton , G. E.

The reunion of No. IT and other lodges of
Omaha with the Workmen of Council Bluffs
and South Omaha Monday , disclosed much
literary and musical ubllitv In the ranks.
An appetizing lunch was served. 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.

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. Brothers , como.
