ol * Kensing
tons.
r a few Kensingtons , n card party or
two , several charming dinners and u very
pretty cotillion in Council DlulTs which at
tracted a number of Oniahnbuds , society has
teen In n comatose condition the past week.
The quietness in the smart world during
the week Just ended may liavo been duo to
< ho interest men have taken in politics , but
ono hardly likes to admit that oven politics
would mnktj any difference In the round of
pleasures and festivities , which are of necess
ity part of the life of a fashionable woman.
* Jhe absence of the sterner sex , however , lias
been remarked , nnd per consequence , there
lias been a certain clement of slowness dls-
ccrunble la the entertainments given.
Next week nil this will ho changed. The
election * over , and the minds of men freed
fnim the strnjn of political excitement , there
will ho" I relaxation and society promises to
fyei gayel' than over since the season opened ,
{ agitations have been lluttoring into the
t card baskets of the 400 this week in largo
iiumbcra and already some of the favorites
liiivo an cggiiRcment for every evening.
AJ delightfully pretty ingenue said vestcr-
day , in talking about the prospects for the
week ; "O , dear , how I do wish I could
' " * Tllvldo mjsolf up so as to have Just twice as
Hutch fun , Already my list Is full , and yet I
jiuisttryto go to homo place with Charley ,
probably to the matinee , for the dear boy has
been mil good to me since I cnino homo from
.Spirit Lako. Ho has been unselfishness
itself , and .surely I might sacrifice myself by
attending a performance nt the theater , Just
to show him how much I appreciate his
brotherly kindness. "
The domostlu vocabulary is undergoing a
j-adlcal change. If there are three boys , the
oldest Is addressed as son , the second as
brother anil the third us Jack or Hurry. The
girls answer to the name of daughter , sister
and baby , put or little one. Diminutives arc
not allowed outsldo of the homo circle. Par
ents address each other as husband , wife ,
niother aud father In thu family circle. "How
do you doJ" "good morning" and "good
'iilglit" are the forms heard In salons of fash
ion. "Ciood-hv" or "good afternoon" are
considered cpilto ns bad In departing us
„
' f'hello" for n , greeting.
As to the fushlonablo young lady's vocabu
lary , It has n Rood many English expressions
Just ut present. Such n maiden says "fancy"
for "suppose11 she never says "guess" ; "
' 'chrini l" for "druggl-it"stop athomo" for
'stay ' ut homo ; " "tub11 for "morning bath. "
"An awfully fetching gown" Is very English
for an especially pretty dross. A good paint
ing is chaiacterlzixt as n "clever Lit of can
vas. " There are no mom "stores" for her ;
they have become "shops. " "Servants" also
have routed to exist as such ; they nro "men
Ben-ants" and "maids. " Her homo no longer
tins a "parlor , " pure and simple , but a "draw-
Ing room , " n "bluo room , " a ' 'red room , " a
" room " "east
"Jaimneso , or iiosslbly nn
parlor. "
'The young American girl ( writiH Mine ,
fluliutto Adam in thu North American Ka-
view ) "is the orchid among all fcmlnlno Hewers -
ers , and It Is far from her to thil humble violet
let to which the younp French nmhtcn has
until recently been compared , I have said
until recently , for our humble , timid , and
blushing young girl Is now hardly to be found
outside small "provlm-al towns. The jounp
American girl has an enormous uillucncu o > i
Iho young French girl.Vhenover they meet
the timid one becomes modified. The JOIIIIR
English Rlrl.s , with their boyish ways , their
lack of elpganeo , their manner of walking
Iho few 1-otuiues.ts they have made In Frano\
bad In nn way modified the ways of our
daughters were laughed nt , and no ono
thought of copying thorn. But with the
American it was another thing ; she l.s cnvi-
iblo nnd too often irresistible ; she must
hero fore bo Initiated from afar In all that is
seductive tier slnccritv , her spontnnuous-
icss , her life whllo the delicate charms of
'reacheducation Is rotaiaed. Certainly our
laughters cannot pretend to reign In I ranee
nnd in Europe as the young girls reign In
\uicrlca. Tlicro they arc queens , and some
times more , though it is very hard to apply to
such bewitching persons the words 'merciless
tvrants.1 They rule in the family , auU the
family does not rule them ; they rule in so
ciety which gravitates around their pleas-
ires , whoso laws , customs , nnd liberties have
rorthcm exclusive protections , Indulgences
-iml favors. And nil this they noisily enjoy
with the same ardor displayed by their
fathers in pursuit of wealth. The great
charm ot the American girl in Europe Is that
she combines atonco the purity of the young
girl nnd the coquetry of the young married
woinnn. Thus , In tlio old world , she Is cer
tain of attracting all the young men who
have abused life , who mo a little blase and
who , to bo captivated , have neou of what they
call du montant , "
In conversation the other afternoon with a
very bright aud interesting Omaha girl , who
has just returned , from a four-months' trip
abroad , the talk drifted to the condition of
women on the other side of tbo water , and so
interesting wore her observations that they
nro hero re-produced :
"Above all the beautiful nnd varied scenes
with which I was entertained and instructed
during my recent trip nbroad , " said she ,
"there are few that linger in my mind , not
because of their wonuerful beauty , nor yet ,
again , because of their history , but owing to
the sad , quiet story , told without lips or
tongue , but leaving an impression from whlcn
ono cannot escape. O , happy American
girls ! How I wish every ono of them could
see for themselves what 1 have scon , that
they may realise whit a blessed country
thoir's Is , in n country whore a woman is re-
.spooled for the sake of her sax ulonc , ami
wheni more and more sue may advance
according to her strivings , to any position she
dc ' 'vo. As Americans have
may > , our girls a
licld before them which , to Improve thorn-
helves , they need not exchange with any na
tion on earth.
"To begin with , the German girl is not In
dependent ; associations from the cradle tend
to nialcu hoc dependent. She goes out accom
panied nnd over watched and if tno regular
routine of dally life is departed from she is
termed peculiar. Her school life is no bettor
than ours , nnd the advantages offered only
etcel , In n few Instances , In the study of lan
guages , ami ns regards a good , practical , sen
sible education she doe.s not receive it nt
.school , Her religious life is neglected from
the start unless stio has parents who may bo
exceptions to the general rule she may bo
continued when she roaches th < J appointed
age , but If so , she Is rarely old enough to com
prehend the act. Itcllglon nnd all thoughts
of a higher llfu ( If she has uny ) mean possi
bly intending church occasionally , and the
usual catechism In the dav school , Marrhiges
are business contracts. A girl with no inher
itance remains single.
"On my way homeward bound It was my
lot to have many conversations with fellow
passenger * nnd after becoming ipilto well ac
quainted , through the Interchange of sympa
thizing remarks ns to their physical welfare
during the heavy storm which came upon us ,
I began to ask questions. Our passenger list
was largely Hermans who had boon travel
ing in the old country or who had been visit
ing thu homo folks nnd whb were now return
ing U their American homes. T'lmo utter
time 1 asked 'Would yon bo satlslied
to live in Germany now ) ' anil
every time the answer came
with only slight variations in each case , "No ,
at least for myself , never for mv children.1
"The American education teaches the chil
dren how to live in expectation of doing
something nnd being somebody. I have scei
women working on the streets and pulling
wagons harnessed withadogrls that any
thing for the daughter to look forward to
Do you wonder at the stern , homely counte
nance ! ! of the ( lOrman work girl , or do you
smileat the accompanying degraded nnd
abused tiguro which comet after years of this
life I Is it surprising- that the eye has lost Its
brightness pray what should It np-arkla for
Now then , eirls , shc-J your radiance abroad
make your corner in the world brighter and
nippier because yon are in it , nnd. above all
nnd at all times , let us remember the sorrow-
ill condition of some of God's creatures and
i . _ .i let us give thanks for what our own
ilcsscd America has made us. "
Tlio Sluulows of Coming Invents.
Those who are best informed as to the
natrimonlal future of Omaha predict a line
of marriages that will extend oven farther
than Council Bluffs , principally among the
lobutantcs of ' 83 and 'SO. 'Tls oven aald the
'over has readied some of our most popular
jachelors and that they contemplate soon en
tering that most puzzling of "wnllod cities. "
Many engagements have already been an
nounced , but more are soon to follow. Among
: hose that will probably come to light this
season , that of a petite blonde to a former
well known Omaha man who now resides in
the west will probably head the list , fol
lowing close on this comes another blonde
who Is to marry an Englishman.
A stunning and popular debutante of last
season , living not a thousand miles from
Omaha , has , It is said , boon captured by a set
of the over fascinating brass buttons of the
United States army. Then n girl who is a
belle , tall , dark ana handsome , will marry a
innn of half n million , while another who also
holds gold in her small baud Is claimed by un
nomine Francals.
Quito a romance enshrouds a son and
daughter of Omaha. They are both blonde
and their affection , 'tis aald , began in child
hood. Another man whoso days aVio have
been passed among ns and who was at the
he.id of one of the most pleasant of last sea
son's clubs , will wed ono of our brightest
girls when she returns to town.
At the risk of many heartbreaks , wo make
public the Intentions of two extremely popu
lar men who , though not exactly living here ,
have nevertheless been claimed by us. Ono
is captured by nn Omaha hello who Is Jolly
and a coquette , wuilo the other Is drawn to
the far cast by the golden tresses and subtld
fascinations of a mo charming girl ,
The club men will mourn the departure before -
fore many moons of a well known , Imndsoma
and popular society girl. She leaves us , 'tis
said , for the east , where she has danced her
self Into the licut t of u not unknown and most
fortunate man.
And the West End Is shortly to have a mar
riage in which a lumber baron HgUres , the
fiancee being a charming member of the
smart world , whoso pretty face has caused
many a manly heart to beat with greater
rapidity.
There are many more upon whom the linger
of suspicion has b.'eu . laid , but. the above are
as near being authentic as could bo possible
under the circumstances.
A AVrclc or
Monday afternoon Mrs , n. M. Morsman pn-
tcrtalncd a number of her lady friends at a
very pretty ICeningston ton , this pleasant
form of social entertainment bolng particu
larly commendable as a means of returning
social obligations. Many of the .guests
brought their fancy work wltn them and
when tlgod Indulged In a pleasant game
of cards , llttlo tables being provided
for the purpose , which afterwards served as
luncheon boards. The guests wore MesdimOa (

glad to admit that tea aUo helped to consoli
date society. The great Samuel himself
would unboubtedly bon feature at n ICensIng-
ton , could the ladles , who usually meet at
these social reception * , yield thooiselvpa to
the presence of a man.
The Kensington tea seems to bo an hour of
the casuao. Nothing Is forecast. The unex
pected may even now bo at the hour. Moder
ation and serenity nro the household gods.
Flowers bloom In the vases but the air is not
languorous with their perfume. And in
the midst of these charms , the
hostess , who is probably always seen
at her best under such circumstances ,
dlixx-ts the pleasures of the afternoon , re-
ilccts the literature of the hour , shapes the
uoings of the little world where she is mis
tress. And If she bo assisted ns Mrs. C. E
Yost was Tuesday afternoon , by an accom
plished daughter to lend Interest to the oc
casion as did Miss Bertha Yost , nt their
pretty Kensington , then , indeed , ono is lead
to remark , ' 'hero Is no pretense but the meet

A Pretty Cotillion nt Council BlulTn.
Thursday evening a number of Omaha
buds participated with their sisters in Coun
cil Bluffs in a beautiful dancing party given
by Miss Oliver , Miss Mary Oliver , Miss
Cilenson and Miss Bennett at the Iloyal Ar
canum parlors In tno Iowa city.
In honor of the event the parlors were
beautifully decorated with liowers nnd
hot house plauts , giving quite a trop
ical appearance to the rooms. And the
refreshments served during the evening were
universally remarked , the service being
equally as delightful as the dalatios pro
vided for the young men nnd women. Little
tables were scattered about the rooms , and
here without any conceited active groups ,
socially Inclined , were delightfully waited
upon. Then the music was excellent , nnd al
together it was an ideal night , especially for
the young women who have Just made their
formal entree Into the smart world.
The young hostesses , all ot them exceed
ingly pretty girls , looked lovely in their beau
tiful gowns , nnd notwithstanding the pres
ence of some of Omaha's prettiest buds , quite
held their own with the critically Inclined.
Miss Maud Oliver appeared In a very
striking pink silk gown made In the empire
.stylo nnd carried a huso bouquet of roses corresponding -
responding in color. 'MJss Mutnlo Oliver
were a pretty blue 'fiylc empire costume ,
which set off the beauty of Miss Gloeson's
light blue crepe , made very simply but still
effective. Miss Bennett , a lovely young
woman nnd a favorite in the fashionable llfo
of the Bluffs , were a prptty cashmere made
after u Grecian model relieved by artistic
draperies. 'J' '
Among the other gnests'remarked ' for their
pretty gowns wore : Arns Lcrmuhten , ono of
the belles of our sister HIV who were a hand
some white silk gown which was effectively
relieved by the largo fan she carried , nnd the
bouquet of white roses ; Miss Anna Bowman ,
u sweetly pretty girl npliiirod [ in a princess
costume or white satin , ontralno and decol-
Ictto , white silk wlMs ; Miss Dullard ,
who has many [ friends in Omaha ,
were for the occnslonl a gray silk cut
dancing length ; Miss tlUie Butts , presented
an Ideal picture in n bluv > ; tupo simply made ,
even severe in its desigo.irvhlch brought out
nor beauty very effectively ; Miss Anglo
Hockwoll , a spirltucllo blonde , looked par
ticularly charming In white moire and tulle ,
Even in the presence of so much bounty it
Is very pleufurcablo to know that the
representatives from the ranks of
Omaha debutantes were sought after
and counted to an extent that only
the best balanced bead could resist.
They were really the "belles of the ball , "nnd
how deliriously conscious were they that
their gowns were mane entralno ! Miss
Emily Wnkeley , a daughter of the jurist , was
becomingly nrnyed In a beautiful now palo
blue and pink plaid satin , trimmed with gold
lace , entralno. Miss Daisy Doano quite won
thu admiration of the guests by wearing an
exquisite white satin and white silk nnd later
In thu evening donned a handsome opera
cloak of electric blue plush lined with
pink brocaded satin. Miss Lynn Cur
tis , a very imctty young woman
with hair that encircles nor Lead like on ori
ole , "a daughter of ttid gods and most di
vinely fair , " were a sirlkmv satla gown
trimmed with olive , groea , docolette aud en-
tralae , long black gloves , ollvo green slip-
[ > cr3 nnd nn olive green fan. She also were a
new opera cloak of whlto liderdown with
wide angnrn fur to relieve Its creamy soft
ness ; Miss Opal Touzalln received many
charming compliments , anpcaring in a deli
cate giislight green crepe trimmed with sil
ver , currying a handsome fan In her prettily
gloved hands : Miss Pearl Hartman , daugh
ter ot the president of the real estate exchange -
change and ono of the season's buds , were a
delicate lavender cashmere and silk , a very
effective combination ; Miss Jennie McClel
land were blue cashmere and silk ; Miss Ady
Parker , a jHitlto blonde nnd oxceodingld
pretty , was costumed In whlto cashmere and
silk.

Opening Party of tliu German Club.
Dor Deutsche Club von Omaha gave their
premiere party of the season Thursday even
ing In their very coscy quarters in Germania
hall. The changes that have been mauo
in the hull proper were mat
ters of considerable surprise to the
guests present. The hall has had a consider
able addition attached which is tilled up with
n complete stage nnd a gallery opening into
the club rooms , which makes it exceedingly
convenient. Then the decorations nre new
nnd throughout the entire building
the presence of the decorative artist was re
marked. The guests in the most part came
from the exclusive circles of Gorman society ,
although the invitations Included names
familiar to the ICnglish speak
ing portion of the community.
And the English people who were present
know the extent of true Ucnnan hospitality.
Thoiinnsical union orchestra contributed the
music for the occasion , sixteen numbers
being on the dance programtno. During the
evening n delightful banquet was
served which was thoroughly enjoyed
by the guests. For these who
had , enjoyed the merrymaking in the long
ago , cards wcto provided In the club rooms ,
nnd hero many of the staid , substantial Ger-
mim cltlions played "scat" while their sons
and daughters enjoyed the music of the
