J2 THE OMAHA DAILY HER ; SUNDAY , APRIL 17 , 1892-SIXTEEN PAGES. BRIGHT DREAMS OF EASTER Dullness Reigns In tbo Realms of Fashion able Society. HOLY WEEK THE QUIETEST ON RECORD IVIml Kxnmplm of Crmmla Art the Howl ing .Swells AITri-t Mini-menu of Known 1'copln to mill from Oiniitiii. Society llnds so llttlo to engage its mind In the ordinary Lenten diversions thut n connlcU crablo purl of the period which ends with today uns been tnkon up In nn opportunity to rcappolnt households , lay out plans Tor the post Easter catnpaicn nnd ndd to the supply of china nnd silver nnd glass against the return - turn of the nlghls when splendid dinners ahull once inoro bo permissible. Indeed , nothing rr.oro cleverly nnd strik ingly Indicates the growth of wealth nnd re- flnomontof taste in town that the posses sions of exquisite table services and decora tions that ono sees everywhere In thcso happy dnys. Some very old "llrst citizens" will recall the furore the llrst family carriage created when It appeared on the streets of Omu'ua nnd what a contrast It made to the Rrlm ni.d lumbering vehicles which had done service from the beginning of the town. But the example sot by the owner of the first real carriage , elegantly appointed , was however quickly followed by the moro sedate clllrens mid family carriages as well us family plate became plentiful enough. Some tnon und women who llvo In thn past , remember the days of the old carriages with childish delight and they take pleasure too , In recalling the time of the old chlimand the old silver , when the tnblo of n woman el fashion was considered handsomely sot oft if It was supported by a few dishes nnd decorations that would sootn very priinn- tlvc In this the lost lap of the century. The centennial exhibition , to xvhleh wo owoso much , nnd which gave an impetus tote to many tilings , extended Us bonlllcont In- llucnco to tnsto in chlnn. The collection of nrtlstir productions of the greatest factories of the world , In the ( junker City , nwnkonud thoaumlnitlon and broadened the view of men and women who before liiul given little thought to such matters and the love of the porculsiiu once deeply aroused has swept ov'or .til sections of the country and i.omo of the most beautiful collections of cMnn to bo found anywhere are scon In Oniuhahomes , and lashion kcops abreast even of the changes In mode and ttiu inoro caprices of the great factories. While the Havllands have succeeded In Riving to art lovers a beautiful ware in some lospccls superior to the Dresden firing still the latter continues the rugo because Drcs- ifcn has been associated with royalty for centuries almost. The quaint liowrr- bcsprlnklcd output of the potter's skill with the crossed daggers on the bottom of the waretho crobtof the famous Dresden factory , is still the dream of the ultra fashionable for a service of that famous china Is almost as valuable as a sot of dininonils. lint many people who do not permit themselves to bo disturbed by fitful winds of taste still re main faithful to the more dlgnltiod looming Sevres , Woicestor , Crown Derby and King Charles. Still some people with $1. > U to spare try n dozen Dresden plates for the pleasure "of being In the bwlm. Ofcour c pleasure at this rate may appear to DO a trillo expensive butnovortheless it must bo frankly confessed tnat the question of expense has n way of thrusting Its unwelcome bond fre quently Into all questions of china and glass and silver nnd gold services and decorations , the standard of elegance has beou put up so very high. Undoubtedly the finest china closet in this or any other western city is to bo found at Happy Hollow , the suburban homo o ( the PatrlcKs. It Is a positive delight to the coc- nnissourof ceramic art to go through the inagntliccnt collection of chlun , unequalled by few homos In America. The Louis Pliilllppo ware , so called bo- causu in the days of Franco's time of kings , nil Sevres was marked with nn "L. P.1 to Indicate the factory from whence It came , hang in velvet lined cabinnts and guurdoa with as much care as the Patrick family Jewels. It speaks eloquently of tongues , now silenced forever , of courts whoso extravagance - ganco have been the tlimno of historians since the days of the llrst Louis , of dynasties that have gene down In the crash of contending forces. It is a trci.t even to the uninitiated to look at these exquisite designs of the potter's art and through thorn call up out of the shadows the men , who , like Cyrus Hienkaru In "Tho Middleman , " lived and died In trying to dis cover some now process of firing which would make Sovros the renowned ware of the world. But Mr. Patrick is not content with Sovros alone to adorn his dinner table on swell occasions. Ho Is the pos sessor of some very lovely V onna ware which is quite a rarity in republican America. There Is also in his collection a number of Dresden plates which represent n big pllo of money , for they are all old and good and painted by some of the fam ous masters of the bygone. Two vases , in the parlor , of Sovros , are corns which cannot bo duplicated , their value being up in the thousands. They are perfect examples of this celebrated factory. But while Mr. Patrick has the finest china service of any of Omaha's bet known people , Hon. Gcorco W Lluingor bus the most inaunitlcont collection of platus to bo scon on this side the water. During bin many trips abroad ho 1ms been an Indefatiga ble collector ol Dresden , Sevres , Dohlton , Queen Derby and other well known ware. ' , striving to make each pinto a Hoiivonlr of the country visited , very much llko the souvenir spoon fnd of today. Some of hla plates , which ho tins arranged artistically in a frieze In his dining room are almost worth their weight In gold , some of them quite so , for they are rare und growing rarer every year. His Dtusden collection nro all beauties , the colors us rich nnd brilliant taduy as when they wore first taken from tbo huh probably three or four hundred years u/o. How did ho get them ! By vlUUne out of tbo way curiosity shops , by haunting art dealers' establishments and bv keeping his eyes open for just such things that the ordinary visitor to foreign countries would pass by unnoticed And It is only In this way that great bargain * re discovered. Mr. Llnlngor. too. has a line table service , but It isnot to bo compared with the collec tion.of plates winch adorns tbo handsome dining room of Omaha's philanthropic art patron. . Hut while Mr. Llnlngor's collection of plates are almost priceless , ono cannot help but believe that wav down deep in the heart of the owner of the Llnlnger art gabury there Is n love for vaccs , rarn and out of the common designs , brought from all the coun tries of earth. Mr. Liulnger has In his homo nearly fifty vases , all with the murks of great ugo upon them. Ho has a Grecian vnso quite ' . ' ,000 years old , for which ho has refused an oven 11,000. There aioalso In the collection throe Vienna vases , old Vlonue-o innuos , uhlch cannot bo duplicated and which were nn exhibition In Vienna for a number of years. The throe could not bo bought for J3.0VO today. But what Is Uie most interesting thing in this collection U a piece of Umogo ware ancient in execution that would command thi profound respects of ttio antiquarian. Offer * have been made for It by several museums , but the owner Is quite taiistlod to lot it rest whnro it is. It is an oxi-eudluply beautiful crucifix and Llmopol There is not another plecooftuls famous ware lu Omaha , posxlblv not In the west. So Mr. Llnlnger has a right to ho proud of it and guard it with care. Mrs. Kduard Cudahv , who entertains beautifully , has lomo rare pieces of china , her taste running , however , to noveliioi and out of the ordmnry thiugk In table decoration. Her silver scrvlco it exceedingly ilno , while her collection ol Dresden it unusually handsome. Mrs. John Horbach ono of the royal bos- tosses of the city , has many dainty and beautiful bits of bcrvea , Dresden , and'Havl- land , her dinner table always Doing effective in its quiet elegance.

Mrs. Newton Barkalow has undoubtedly tbo handsomest collection of cups in the city , many of thorn presents from gentlemen friends , during the days when she was ono oC Omaha's society belles. Mrs. ( juy Barton must not bo forgotten in this list for bur china is remark able for its abioluta perfection in firing and line art displayed in modeling. And bor cut glass cannot bo excelled by any of the society women of the wojt. Mrs. F. W.
