It was an Ideal night for such Jollity nnd the gaj spirits who nndo up the party could find no more Interesting topic to discuss jestcrdny than the gai cty of the night before. Omuhn has not been noted for Its fancy dresg par ties for the reason , no doubt , that our girls arc a wee bit Inclined to frown down any thing thit will entail more work than is usual in their sochl spheres , h nco a dearth of what Is considered by many the no plus ultra of delightful functions , the polo poudre , which ono voung man interpreted to mean , "powdered hulr. " , There was little attempt at elaborate dec oration , hut what was most charming woio the number of hastily Improvised nooks which the girl friends of the hostess had constructed during the day. Bits of blight colors suspended upon screens nnd liiMiiiant cushions made tempting places for the "Idle nothings w hleh are so sweetly tuned" as a society poet says It.

An elegant iKwUmptlul repast was served the guests. The presents woio many and most of them sumptuous. The now Ucnedlck is well known in Omaha legal and social ciiclcs , and the cloud of congratula tions ho received , mayhap , had just the slightest tinge of envy of Ills good luck. Mr. Crane was an uctlvo member of the late legal firm of Moriovv it Ciano , and Is a brother of Hopiebcntntho-olcct Thomas D. Cmno , lie has made quite an enviable loputatlon at the Douglas comity bar , his work in the federal couit duilng last tcmi being p.uticulaily noticeable. The happy couple w 111 bpcnd the next sixty dais sight seeing In the principal citii-s between the Mlsbouii and the Pacific.
