SOCIETY H MIDSUMMER
Keturning Tourists Brighten Omaha's Streets
and Thoroughfares.
AH OUTLOOK FOR THE COMING SEASON ,
Cartl Pii ties and Ttceeptloiis During
the AVeolc Just Ended Tlio Move
ments nnd Whereabouts of
Omaha's People.
Already the streets and promenades of the
dty bogln to show that summer Is waning.
There is n growing brilliancy in the costumes
orou sco on the thoroughfares , and tbe EUt-col-
fercd complexions of the women jou pass on
the street Indicate that the grand army of
summer &auntcrers Is x chiming.
The shops nro commencing to put on their
fall garbs nnd before another moon wanes
Omaha will be in the nildst of the fall open
ings and society will huvo resumed its round
of pleasures.
Never In the history of Omaha have so
many people taken advantage of the season to
leave the city on pleasure bent , as during this
) ear of our Lord , 1S30. Every seaside resort
along tlio Atlantic coast , almost every water
ing place In Dixie , the mountains of the
nest and the lake regions of the north have
had repicsontatlvcs from the metropolis
of Nebraska , Europe hns had its full
quota of tourists from the Gate City and the
passenger lists of ocean steamers , both out
going and Incoming , show that Omaha people
uro on the move.
\Vhlloltisjcttoo early to reflect what
will bo a leading fcaturo of the season's en
tertainments In society , It Is quite safe to say
that the Iltcrnry clubs of last season , will bo
rcorganUcd-wiih the addition of a number of
new ones upon philosophic lines.
Tbo change that is going oa in our social
life Is all to favor of women of Intelligence
nnd this In every rank. It la extremely
marked among the beat of the handicrafts
men , and among the higher classes , though
evidence U less easy to obtain , it is still per
ceptible.
Beauty ranks flrst by virtue of laws which
no female parliament either will or can alter :
but , beauty and wealth npart , tbo stupid girl
Is gettinp as heavily weighted in the race as
rti5J stupid man. Men are growing ashamed
of silliness in their women ns they never
were before , nnd proud , too , which la a fur
ther step of their intelligence. No ono who
looks at society without prejudices ill be-
llove that the fools are winning the social
Came ,
And for this reason wo may expect the
formation of literary clubs.
A Charming Itcccptlon at Florence.

Ing to the oft repented expressions of good

music of the Musical union orchestra.
Shortly after the last number had beeu

Mr. and Mn. Muentcfering Inanjjurated tbe
season's inu&lcales Wednesday evening at
their home , 120 Jiorth Twenty-sixth street ,
a number of cucsu beta ? present to enjoy aa
evening -with oni of our best known pinnistcs
nnd listen to several of the madumo's pupils ,
Mmo. Muentcforing and Miss Ella Schmidt
opened the short programmebich had been
nrranged with a duo for two pianos , an ar
rangement of "Trovatore. " Miss Schmidt
surprised her friends by her very correct
method and the display of an admirable tech
nique. The gem of the evening , however ,
was the rendition of Beethoven's conccito in
C minor , nrr.mgcd in three movements , the
eatlenco Jof the flrst being written , by Mos-
theles. Essentially a concert composition ,
w o are afraid the people of Omaha would grow
very tired of it because of its length , and the
majostio uaturo of the thomo. Naver before -
fore heard in our city it was a revela
tion to many of the guests present ,
nnd It was played with masterful effect ,
Mmo. Mttentefcring at- the first piano , Miss
Clara Ilawley playing the orchestral ar
rangement , which Is really the mise-cn-sccno
of the composition , nt the second.
Tboflnnlo of tlio flrst movement was given
In faultless style , Mme. Muentcferlng show
ing by the excellence of its interpretation the
care and attention to detail which she garo to
It. The last movement , which is written In
rondo form , shows Beethoven at his best ; in
tbe first ho is philosophic to n degree : In the
last his philosophy gives places to an en
thusiasm for his art which ho reflects In ono
of the greatest , If not the greatest concertos
ever known.
The closing number brought forward Miss
Hawley quite prominently in n series of vari
ations from Schumann , 1th Mmo. Mucntc-
fcrlng nt the second piano. MUs Hawley
was a pupil of Emil Leibtiug of Chicago ana
many of his mannerisms are reflected in her
playing.
At the close of the short programme de
lightful refreshments were set vod. Thoguests
were : Mr. nnd Mrs. "William Scott , Dr. and
Mrs. Grossman , Mr. nnUMrs , C. B , Schmidt ,
Miss Schmidt , Mr. and Mrs. Clement Chase ,

considerable magnitude near Calhoun , has
added to his entourage a handsome Concord
coach , purchased through James Stophenson.

Ing Calhoun their Urst stop was made at Te-
kninah. From Tckaniah they coached to De-
catur. Crossing the Indian reservation from
Dccatur the puns were brought out and the
sportsmen enjoyed a short season among the
prnirio chickens which they found in abund
ance. Bancroft was the next stop , and then
West Point. From the latter place they
crossed to Tekamah and back to Calhoun ,
Srobably making two hundred miles In the
rive.
They arrived homo Thursday , having been
out Just six drys. During their outing they
slont in the conches nnd enjoyed their
meals under the shadow of their own vine
and flg two which was usually net up along-
slduof their wheeled house or amid the trees.
So successful was the initial party that Mr.
and Mrs. Mlllard conceived the idea of having
a few lady and gentlemen friends Join them

tnado yesterday. The party will be out
