\Ylth two big afternoon receptions ,
aovaral teas a luncheon or two
nncl a swell ball in tbo evening ,
Wednesday was n rod letter day in tbo social
life of tuo metropolis. Tbo fasblotiablo
events gave abundant opportunity to the fair
BOX to air tbolr prettiest gowns , and the re
ceptions brought out tbc handsome turnouts
of the haul monde In largo numbora , crowd
ing tbo boulevards and making the Sherman
nvinuo drlvo look lllco a small section of Hot-
tun How sol down In Omaha.
It point of largeness , however , the event
of the week und onu ol the plcasantcst occn-
Blons of tlm .season was the reception given
by Mrs. Adolph Meyer at her beautiful rosi-
dcnco In Kountzo place , from it until 0
Wednesday.
It was really In the nnluro of a house
warming , for It was the llrst largo
affair given t > y Mrs. Mnycr slnco
lior occupancy" the now homo
on WIrt strcot. 1 in mediately after her re
moval to the now establishment the death of
her mother closed the house to nil social en-
tortai.imcnts , and for u year and a half the
hostess of Wednesday baa held aloof from
the gay world. But on the day before
Thanksgiving the quietness of the residence
was broken mid Mrs. Meyer gave what Is ro-
gnrded us ono of the most beautiful recep
tions over given In Omaha. Everything was
upon a lavish scale , nnd throughout the art
or the decorator , the upholstcror , the florist ,
vied with iho architect , while over all hung
the rara grace of the hostess in maklnir all
her friends feel en rapport with tbo bouse
and the surroundings.
The drawing room on tbo west is a beauti
ful apartment , particularly largo and roomy
and lighted by a number of immense win
dows. It approaches a snlnn more than n
drawing room nnd Is n study in ivory white
and gold. Midway of the apartment four
columns liuvu been placed , two on
cither side , Romanesque in treatment , which
with the Louis Qulnze furnishings gives tbo
room a past century flavor that is very enjoy
able. In fact ono can easily imagine that tno
days of the I'ompadour are repeating them
selves nnd iho swish of her garments still
disturbs the air wbllo the scent of ho" favor
ite perfume penetrates allspaco with languor
ous sensation.
There is a biou ] apartment to the right of
the largo hallway which is restful to n do-
greo. It is the antique room of the bouse ,
tuo chandelier , the side brackets being
of iron , the stately mantel conforming
to the sanio general style , wlnlo n
curiously fashioned iron steve , with
porcelain doors gives a touch of color to tbo
placa. Tbo hangings are medm > val in effect
wlnlo hammered heaas of famous warriors
and lltcratuurs give an art atmosphere to the
apartment that Is very rostful.
The dininir room , however , is undoubtedly
the most harmonious room in the house , as it
is the most beautiful. Tbo woodworK is of
antique oak and everything is thoroughly in
keeping. Handsome pictures treating of tbo
hunt , panels of game and fish pieces
grace the walls and make tno place worthy of
the most ardent davoteo of Enlcurus. The
room was exquisitely decorated on this oc
casion , pmlc being tbo predominating color.
Wldo pink ribbons extended from the ctinn-
llers to the corners of tno table , while every
where fairy tapers burned , shaded in pink
surah. The refreshments , too. wore pink in
color , the ices being moulded In the shape of
pink candles , and so on through the whole
list of good things which were served.
Above stairs the rooms were just as cheery
lis.thoso below , the good taste of the mis-
crnno clot1.nouso showing itself every where.

The uciiti'lVrinij Itcclt il.
Tuesday evening Mdo. Muentofcrlnp and a
number of her pupils gave a thoroughly ar
tistic piano recital at "Loravilla , ' the pretty
homo of Mayor and Mrs. Cusnlug , on Twon-
ty-llftb avenue. The house is nicely adapted
for entertainments such a ? that of Tuesday
evening ; the parlors are long nnd afford
ample opportunity for tbo comfortable seat
ing of guests. In addition the rooms were
prettily decorated with autumn liowers , uot-
house plants , palms and many stands of
chrysanthemums. The ctmndoliors were
heavy with smilax , and throughout n dis
criminating taste was shown which greatly
pleased these present.
Mdo. Muenteferlng , whooccuplcsahlgh po
sition in the local musical world us a thorough
teacher of the pianoforte , has every reason
to fool proud of the success her recital
achieved. While nervousness on the part of
some of the plavcrs was quite uppaiont ,
whllo now and then wrong notes were struck
and runs slurred , taken all in all It was so
excellent that Mdo. Muonteforing deserves to
bo congratulated upon the very happy out
come of her llrst public recital of the season.
Several very promising pinaistos were in
troduced. Miss Clara Ilawley , Miss Lora
Cushing.Miss McShancMrs. Buchanan.Miss
Brodonck and Miss Grace Dolwuilcr being
particularly worthy of more than n meio men
tion in passincr.
Miss Clara Hawloy's plavlng of the
"Andanto and Hondo Caprfccfoso" of Men
delssohn was n thoughtful interpretation of
a great master's celebrated composition. The
tempo was well taken , nnd a nice discrimin
ation shown in the use of the pedal. It.
sdowod careful , conscientious study nnd
ranked among the ploasuraolo performances
of the evening.
Miss McShano was heard to excellent ad-
vnntnco in the "Andanto und variations op.
10" by Schuman a duo for two pianos , Mde.
Muentcforlnc : playing tbo first instrument.
The voumr lady oxcolls in attack , her phras-
inir , too , being u subject of favorable com
mont.
Miss Lora Gushing with Mrs. Muentefcr-
ing played a pretty arrangement of "Martha"
Flotow's effective dramatio story in a
praiseworthy manner. She is an enthusiastic
pupil , and rullects the art of her teacher
more , possibly , than any of bor associates
on the program.
Mrs. J. H. Buchanan has a crisp , effective
touch , and her playing of "Hondo opus 73"
by Chopin , with Mrs. Muontcforiug at the
second piano , was a treat to listen to.
Miss Dotwoilor is a promising pupil , so
much so that she give's promise of boiug
hoard from later in tbo musical world. Miss
Lucy Broderlck is also a painstaking pupil ,
whoso playing Tuesday evening was thor
oughly up to the excellent standard sot by
the instructor.
Two of the younger members of the class
also made their initial bow before an audl-
anco. Mlssos Bessie Peck and Miss Mary
Barker and their interpretation of "William
Toll" was , notwithstanding their years , a
feature of n most excellent program.
Mr. IClnzio varied the Instrumental part of
the ovonine by the rendition of savoinl vocal
numbers , chief of which was Stomhagen's
sentimental ballad , "You , " whlcb won an
oncorej "Beautiful Girl of Kild.iro. "
Mr. Kinzie's volco Is particularly
adapted to ballads. It Is swcot and pure ,
forceful In the upper register and such a
voice that women po in ccstacles over.
Madame Mueuteforing not content in ap
pearing with her pupils gnvo two solos , the
"Sonata No 1 op ! - " by Schubert , and too
"Last movement concerto No. 1" by Mendel
ssohn. Her Interpretation of Schubert's
musicis worthy of all praise. Ho is ono of thu
tmidumo's favorite composers and you may
always bo certain of hearing ono Schubert
numoor when Mdo. Mucntefcrinc is an
nounced on a program. The sonata was
played much faster than Is usual with bor ,
and it was thoroughly reminiscent of
D'Albert , whoso love for this famous master
is urovorbinl. The Mendelssohn number
llttingly concluded the program , the big card
being reserved for the lust. And it was given
with a finish that brought cntlm Iastio ap
plause. Miss Broderlck particularly dis
tinguished herself in the orchestral accom
paniment on the second plann , showing a
musical mind whicu quite delighted tbo art
lovers present.
Delightful refreshments were served dur
ing the ovoninif , the whole entertainment
being nrtlstlo to a degree.
