The first of the re organ bed assembly

Millard and was pie isantly reminiscent of
former pai tics given by this exclusive or
ganlzation. While the first was not icm.-uk
ably notable for the number of swells
piescnt , it was icmaikablo for the number

beauty of the gowns displajcd for the firs

and thoiottring rooms and everybody con
gralutcd eveiibody else on being present a'

"It Wn Inl'niirjr l rr . "
Miss Dandy could not have planned a more
charming affair for nor guest , Miss Richards
of Doughs , W o. , than Iho fancy dross
party which she gave Friday evening. 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. Tlio hick hall between
Iho library anil the dininioom was plutur-
esquo with the punch bowl and the pretty
tcto-a-tetu arranged for the occasion Above
stairs there were smoking rooms for the
men , cloak rooms for the women and what Is
still more to the point the deep cmlnasmes
of the w Indow-s cushioned softly for those
w ho had tit cfl of the dance. Miss Dundy re
ceived , assisted bv Miss Itlchards , Judge nnd
Mrs Dimdy mingling w ith the guests.
Miss Dundy made no nUcmjit to appear in
fancy dress but looked regal iu u handsome
pink silk with hair a la jtompadour.
Miss Klrhards , ti very pretty and at
tractive pltl , wore a lovely cmplro gown of
pink with l.ngo galnsborough lint and fetch
ing parasol"a sweet picture out of a frame. "
MaudMuller , "WhltUcr's hapless heioine ,
that dainty creatuic ( if the llelds , was beau
tifully impersonated by Miss Tad Balch ,
who were a sltnplo frock of white , wltn
babj waist , the hair braided and tied with
blue bows , n hat tiimmed w ith grasses and
stalks of wheat and n long h lyrnko complet
ing a perfect pletmo of sweet contentment.
Miss Helen Smith could not have chosen a
more Interesting character for inlet preln-
tlon than Wagner's Mai/uciitc , nor could
she have looked the character to hotter ad
vantage. She was gowned in white with
the black velvet trimmings on sleeves and
about the neck , which Sir Joshua Kejnolds
has said by his brush was the ideal gown or
Faust's sweetheart.
Miss Gi.icoIIImeb nigh was a dashing La
Tosca , gowned In ( lowered silk skirt , an im
mense hat and stick completing the effect ,
and there a domiM.nios to do her bidding
and to paint pictuies for her it only in the
mind.
Columbia , that fairest of all the daughters ,
was Impersonated by Miss Nelsio llughep ,
and the character was just suited to the
j ouug lady. A beautiful silk llag vas draped
about the handsome figure , and with helmet
on the head suimounted by the eagle with
spread w ings she looked eveiy inch America's
sweetest emblem
Miss Jcnnio MtClelland , polite and pretty ,
brought w ith her tlto atmosphcio of sunny
Italy and in her foreign , captivating gown
looked like Maiitaiu , who figures so laigcly
in the "Gondoliers "
Miss Belle Dewey was a Homan maiden ,
wcaiuur a beautiful gown of the Homan
colors and c.urtcd a hugo bunch of chr san-
themums.

very inteiesting taiubouiino gill , who in
stead of iCLclving coins icccivcil smiles for
ingenuousness.
Miss Hceco and Miss Wimick were genu
ine roses , icd and white , their costumes , car-
r.ving out the Illusion perfectly.
MissLvnn Cuitis as Snow quite carried
out the idea intended bj wearing a pretty
white gown celled with avvansdown , hci hair
being IK > W del cd nnd a band of svvansdovvi :
encircling the fair head.
Miss iinily Wakoloy us Chi istmas , "the
happiest , jolllcst time , " was irrcsistablo In .1
white sitin costume tiluiincd with holly , the
fiist seen in Omaha this vear , her hair being
) ) owdcicd with diamond dust.
Miss Ida Sh.up , lib a maiden of the clgh
tccnth century , vvoio a quaint old-fashioned
diess of light brown silk , with hulrcuiled
and powdered , a silk cape over tno shouldeit.
giving a thotoughly old-fashioned air to the

with while laeooverdicssotnamented with
j ellow chr.v sautheniums
Miss Nelson , "tho jolliest , modest girl"
who has v isited Omaha in a long time , was

of tlio ( low or.

Hood.

Ono of the prettiest weddings to grace the
i car's last month was that of Mr. Herbert
Crane and Miss Jessie 1C. Coinoll , which
took place Thm s Jay evening at the biido's
homo , 1111 North Seventeenth sticet. Very
Rev. Dean Gardner officiated. Messrs. C. I' .
Halllgan and A. M. Hopkins acted as grooms
men , while the bride was attended by Miss
Blanche Grlftlth and Miss Emma Swoboda.
About fifty guests assisted at the ceioniony ,
and opinion was unanimous that never bildo
looked prattler than Miss Cornell as bho aji-
pearcd In roso-coloicd silk crepe , cntralno ,
with whlto roses , The attendant maids
were in whlto silk , with pink chryMintho-
mums. 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. It is not at all
improbable that Mr. Crane , after his return ,
nuiylcMVo Omaha and locate iu onu of the
luigo cities of Washington.
