IN FAIR WOMAN'S ' WORLD ,
What Society is Doing Upon the Eva of tha
Holidays.
QUIETNESS IN THE REALMS OF FASHION.
Brilliant deception by Mrs. Augustus
Pratt The Uijli Five Party-
Chat About Well Known
i'copln.
The wcok just onjocl has almost been devoid -
void of social Intorost. Tlio reaction after
the brilliant receptions , the ThanksRlvlnc
reunions , the Uix'li teas , etc. , of the wool :
prior , has given llttlo to chronlclo outsldo of
a Kensington , ono or two card parties , a
pretty reception , and a few minor affairs of
interest only to these directly concerned.
But from this on society will indulge Its bout ,
and the ntvugKlo m GO on with additional
forvor. While the approach of the Christ
mas holidays may detract somewhat from
the list of events it is quitu safe in predict
ing that the post-Christmas season will bo
enlivened by a number of swell affairs ,
which are oven now known to have boon de
cided upon by well known hostesses who
run to society doings 03 mon run to base ball
and horse races.
1 was talking to a bright young married
woman the other day upon the craze for
orchestras nt dinners and teas which is now
10 rampant among the swell circles of
society. The young lady thought that an
orchoitrn for a reception was Just tbo proper
caper , but lamented that hostesses Insisted
upon an prcUestra of throa or live pieces at a
dinner.
"Now , when I oiitortaln , " said she , "I
make it an invariable rule not to invite nioro
than twenty guests. I try to have them con-
ponlal , Interested in oncli other and find that
that number can roalco nioro delightful
inusio than u ilddlo and a clarionet wheezing
through n waltz or home theme from ono of
the operas. With this number the rooms
can all bo thrown open later and the Informality
mality prevailing uialcoa the chief charm of
the dinner or too. Unless I hod in mind a
Dig crush , , music would bo no faaiuro of an
entertainment of mine. "
Professional beauties are rapidly coing out
of fashion. Mon prefer the quiet primrose
now to the sunflower. One of the most
charming attributes that n youug girl can
possess is u modest , shrinking ntituro , To
blazon forth her unarms is .an injury rather
{ nan a beuellt.
. Blnco the opening , tUo Athletic : olub has
boon crowded , afternoons , and ovonlngs , by
athletic young men , old tiion and inlddiu ugod
men , bent upon nddlnc a little more size to
their muscle , reducing their adipose tissue ,
or fltroiiRthcuing some particular sot of
tendons but llttlo used. Bowls attract u
great number of fiuhlouable young men , who
would no nioro think of vaulting over n
"horso" than they would of llylnff , and the
three alleys are always Illicit per consequence.
With 000 members it ought not to bo much
difficulty to make the club the biggest ulna
of ft go and It looks now as if President Amos
had the make up of a mascot in bis composi
tion , It took a good deal of courage to uuar-
nntoo the rent of n building for live years ,
With nothing In sight , but Gcorgo Ames Is
popular and ho went about the thing in tuo
right way , and hu has the pleasant satisfac
tion of loolng tbo club on a plane iiuito con
siderably above older organization * of
a similar nature in Kansn ! City , HU l.ouU ,
Denver and St. P.iul.
Just as a mcro suggestion ; Wouldn't it ho
u graceful thing to sut apart ono afternoon In
the woolc for the young ludy friends of Urn
members to participate In bowling or other
nthletlo exorcise , u-s their fancy might Indi
cate ! Girls love tun pins as well as itio boys ,
imd they should bo Klven an opportunity to
bow their ability In this direction.
In splto of continued railing and abuse the
fashion of "afternoon teas" holds its own
and steadily gains In favor. There is uo
other form of entortalnmentlnwhich ono can
pay oft so many obligations nt ono tlrao with
io'llttlo expense. So much for the hostess.
As for the guest , it means simply giving up
a llttlo time in an afternoon. Ono has but to
soy "good afternoon" to one's hostess , adieus
are considered unnecessary and it Is possible
to "do" eight or ton teas in ono afternoon.
Afternoon tea itself has como to stay , and
many a pretty llttlo romance has started
over the dainty tea table with its pretty ap
pointments.
Evening calls arc qutto out of fashion now ,
and it is much pleasanter to drop In of an
afternoon and have a cup of tea with one's '
hostess on the way homo than it used to bo
when nn evening had to be given up to call-
Ing.
"What are they doing nt the Omaha clubi"
said a club man in reply to a question , "dying
of drv rot. Hoally there is little doing and
llttlo talked about that would interest n
dozen people outsldo the club walls. They
play pool and billiards , drink a llttlo some
times , have some charming midnight sup
pers , but outside of these very mild dissipa
tions Omaha club mon are a very exemplary
sot. Of course when such good follows as
John Tobbltts oomos back to town , things
brace up a llttlo , but they soon drift back tea
a state of inanition. There has boon some
talk of the annual club ball , but as it does not
occur till late in the season , or just before
Lent , the chances nro that for some time to
como detlulto notion Will not .bo taken. "
Are wo to have a charity ball ? Surely
there U need of the money that is derived
from such an event and there are as many
poor now in Omaha as in past years , proba
bly more. The winter bids fair to bo a long
and a severe ono. Why then should not the
leaders of "light and life" got together and
glvo a real old-fashioned ball for "Sweet
Charity Sake. " Who will start the ball
rolling I Lot us for once brethren , dwell
together in harmony and revive a custom
which , of late years , has boon more honored
in the breach than In the observance.
Mumejilo HOHC.
Mr. and Mrs. J. It. Buchanan gave last
Saturday evening , n charmingly Informal
musicale at their pretty now residence on
south Thirty-ninth nvonuo , In honor of
Judge and Mrs. Bnrtow of Chadron , Nob. ,
and Miss Barber of Watortown , Wls. The
house was exquisitely decorated with chry
santhemums , roses and smllax , a pretty
feature of the evening bolng the substitution
of waxen tapers , shaded effectively in pink ,
for the gas lights , although the ohandollors
were also decorated with pink shades.
Tun OK out was in the nature of a house
warming , it being the first largo party to
moot congenially under the roof of the hos
pitable host and hostess. The house is
thoroughly modern In architecturetho design
belug to do away with folding doors and In
their stead substitute arches and portieres ,
thus giving , when needed , the appearance of
ono largo salon , the sight line being prettily
broken by nrchwuys. The hall Is roomy ,
while the rooms off uro delightfully cosy and
comfortable , juat such a homo as you would
expect the general passenger agent of tbo
Fremont , Klkhorn ft Missouri Valley rail
road and his estimable wlfo to occupy. There
lias been no attempt at lavish display either
In decoration or furnishings ; but , what is far
pleasanter , It boars the impress of gentle
roilnoiDont in every feature.
The drawing room was , for the occasion ,
converted into the music room , where the
piano * were placed for these assisting In
tbo program ,
Mmo. Muoutoforlng began the charming
evening by pluying a Schumann Puntaislo ,
which inoV with discriminating applause
from the devotees of niuslo present , many of
them being amateurs of no small ability ,
Mrs. Fred Nye , who is the possessor of a
very sweet soprano volco , sang
with pleasant effect a dainty Klorlnn sontf
which had for Its ihoino "lovo In a cottage. "
A quartette for two pianos , "Hungarian
Dances , " by Brahms , followed and was ono
of the distinct successes of the evening , iho
players being Mme , Muontefonug , Miss
Clara Haw ley , Mr , Hey Smith of Fremont
and Mrs. Buchanan ,
MUs Hllllurd , who has created a furore
by her cluvor reading since her
evening at the Llulngor art gallery ,
recited "Tuo Studio , " which won an
encore to which she responded with n dialect
bit very effectively done , "Pat's Lottor. "
Saint Saons' "Danso Macabee , " a duet for
two pianos , with Miss Clara Huwloy at the
flrst and Mrs. Muontnfering nt the second ,
aroused the enthusiasm of the musicians , for
it was faultlessly played , the tempo , being
particularly well taken.
Mr. Kov Smith played three of his own
compositions , "Waltz Caprlco. " "Polka" and
a "Humoresquo , " which also aroused the en
thusiasm of the audience , for it Is not every
day Omaha people are permitted to hoar a
composer interpret his own compositions.
Mrs. J.V. . Cotton , whoso voice grows more
tuneful and uioro ilexlole with the years ,
sang exquisitely an Arabian soncr that fit
tingly closed n very aollghtful evening.
Ih'o refreshments were elaborate , the
guests bointr seated at small tables through
out the rooms. Among the cucsts were :
Captain and Mrs. Trnott , Dr. Summers , Mr.
and Mrs. M. V. Morse , Mrs. Lander , Miss
Ijams , Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Alexander , Judpo

A Hrlllmnt Ilouoption.
Thursday was a typical December day. It
was cold and dreary , whllo the wind played
hldoand seek arouna the corners , making a
warm , cozy tire the most charming thing In
the world. But notwithstanding the day's
roughness the reception which Mrs.
Augustus Pratt gave on Thursday after
noon from 3 until 0 brought out the fair sex
in largo numbers , and tholr heroism in brav
ing the storm was more than rewarded by
the charm which pervaded the beautiful
home of the hostess at 1203 Park avenue ,
The Moral decorations were quite elaborate ,
chrysanthemums , roses and smilax playing no
Inconsequential part in the arrangement of
the rooms. The dining room was partic
ularly beautiful in Its decorations of yellow
and will to. The table was covered by n yel
low silk cloth edged in wldo whlto lace ; over
the silk cloth was an exquisitely
drawn center piece with mirror ,
while upon it rusted a handsome
crystal candelabra , while yellow tapers ,
prettily shaded , seemed just emerging from
the Interior of water lilies , making a very
effective picture.
An orchestra stationed in an adjoining
room played an excellent program of cham
ber musla throughout the hours of the ro
t-option , lending additional pleasure to the
nllalr , .

coming to hor. Miss Tatum graced u gown
