THE OMAHA DAILY HEE ; SA'EOTIDAY. MAY 7. 1893-r-STXTEEN PA E9. WEAK CONDITION OF SOCIETY Small Doings in the Realms of Fashionable Light and Lifo. LUNCHEONS CONTINUE IN HIGH FEATHER mill I'ntrtok In Honoricl by TITO Function * Harry Nott Married n Milwaukee Il lle l.ocnl Iti < mU Among tlie UovrlliiK HtTpllt. looking back over the week Just en ( led ono thing Is particularly noticeable , the woe ful lack of big rnterlnlnmcnts , where men nnd women mny meet together socially for an exchange of those courtesies attendant upon fashionable life. Instead , all the real nice functions have been monopolized by women , who more and more seem to bo mnk- tnu a business of society , leaving the men to depend upon their own resources for amuse ment and entertainment Dinners are taking the place of the evening reception and very often these dinners arc "for women only , " In fact , the great majority of luncheons this season have been given for women , until the men more than ever feel that the only place secure to them Is the club , and the Omaha club shows a decided Improvement In attend ance In consequence Whlthet Is society drifting Is a pertinent question nt this time and leaders of the awcll set would do well to consider this grow ing custom of entertainments for women alone before thox become hopelessly mired Men , as a rule , loxohoinc They marry generally to secure n Dai tncr to attend to the homemaking - making branch of the business , and when that partner f.ills , why. homo does not exist for them any more and the club , with its { Uttering Inducements , Its light and gnioU , finally secures a new recruit , and the family circle i.s minus a head la its best and most endearing sense. Tlieio is too much of this division of the BCXCS when it comes to society , although many men are only too glad to bo freed from thonoccssltj of putting on iv dress suit and posing for three or four hours as a society devotee. They much prefer an easy chair , a dressing gown and their favorite magazine to all the frills and furbelows of this nineteenth century society of which one hears and reads so much But there arc other men who love society because of Its divcisions , its allurements , and these men feel the clubbing together of women most keenly For such as these , women iihould cater moro than they do , should bo less selfish than they arc and tike In oftencr than during the past season the men who make it possible for whes to give functions Luncheons seem to have the call these dnjs of May that the following descriptions of recent ( jotham functions may not bo in appropriate at this time as "pointers" for these who arc planning similar affairs. At a pink luncheon the cloth was of pure white damask , with an exquisite silk scarf of the daintiest tosu pink drawn across the center At either end was a small cut gl.iss lamp with pink slllc shades , and as davllght was excluded thcso lamps gave a soft , low light moat be coming to the assembled guests nnd harmoni/ine with the en tire tone of the decorations Pink satin ribbons were fes tooned from the chandelier and from the four corners of the table , where they worn fastened with stiff butteiily bows. The nap kins were tied with satin ribbons , nnd at each plato was a largo bunch of "la Franco" roses tied vilth wider ribbons The line china was decorated with a dainty pattern of rosebuds The linger bowl doylies wcro made of bolting cloth with a sprig of a rose "Ititodoncach. At a violet luncheon the tablecloth was of fine linen strewn with embroidered violets , and In the center of the tublowns a round lint mirror filled with violets and a few care lessly dropped on the mirror , which gave a charming effect as the glass rollcctod the vlolots. At the guests' places were cards decorated with vlolots and largo bunches of the purple flowers tied with narrow ribbons The light was given fioin dainty Dresden candelabras placed at the four corners of the table , the shades of which were made of white crepon piper with vlolots painted across them. The china was also violet decorated. * # # At a red luncheon the naoklns and table cloth wore of n peculiar plaid with deep crimson as the foundation color. In the cen ter of the table was a huge candelabra of Bolld silver , holding tiny candles , with red shades. The chandelier was nrtnass of sml- lax tied with crimson ribbons. At either end of the table wcro vases filled with red carnations so spicy and sueot as to pcrfutno the entlro room The table glass was of the softest shade of deep led , as were the linger bowls. Bunches of carnations with mlgnon- otto were nt the plates , and as each course was brought In n carnation was laid across the side of the plates , At a whlto luncheon white satin ribbons were draw n from the four corners of the table to meet in n great splashing bow in the center. At either end were vases tilled with lilies , and small dove-shaped white boxes were placed nt the separate covers flllod wltli bonbons Any of those luncheons can easily bo carried out and a change of color substituted , such as yellow , blue , green and pink , etc. Many women carry out the color idea of the luncheon Into the drawing room , decor ating with flowers and lnmi > shades. Much can bo tlonn by the Ingenious woman of to day with a little study and taste. * * + So many of Omaha's hotels hayo boon named for Individuals , as the Paxton , the Murray , the ' Mlllard , the Dcllono , the Mer cer , that 'tho Interstate Hotel company is desirous of changing the existing order of thingH In the naming of the now hotel shortly to bo erected at Fif teenth and Ilnrnoy streets The gentlemen connected with thoenterpriso invite through the columns of TUB BEK suggestions for a name , the only stipulation being that It should bo of Indian origin , short and musical Mnkatah has been suggested as being par ticularly musical and full of significance , its moaning being "eosnio | > olltnn " Alabama , which means "rest , " has also several enthu siastic supporters , but neither of thcso meet with the nppiobatlon of all the stockholders. Students of Indian lan guages have hero an opportunity to suggest n name that shall bo distinct from every other hotel name In the country and at the same time appropilato to the structure nnd the city in which the hotel is to be erected. 'What shall bo the name for the new hotel ? Tun BKE Invites suggestions on this question. 'X Luncheon * for Miss 1'utrlrlt.

Hunch' ' It , who attended the state meeting of tin hoiiieopathists of Iowa in Des Moines on Tl ursday , and who spoke upon the question of diphtheria and its cure , is thus talked of by ho Des Moines Leader. One of the best spocehos made in the medi cal convention \estcrdaj was that of Dr Hanchctt of Omaha , who attended the ses sions by courtesy. He discussed Iho matter of diphtheria and its cure He saj s Omaha ! > . . not such severe cases ot the disease as nnj other town of w liicli he knows. ' Ho was unable testate the icason , but he was nhlo to state the curious fact. Dr. Hanchctt be lieves in the use of alcohol ns a euro for diphtheria and diphtheric croup , because it combines the three necessary qualities for nn eftlc.icious remedy for that disease , viz- H is nt the same time n food , a stimulant and an anticeptic " rlco Cured of Klimi The many cases of ihcumatism cured by ' Chiunoerlain's Pain Balm during the pas't few months have given the people great con fidence in its curative properties , and have shown that there is one preparation that can be dopendoJ upon for that painful und ag- grnving disease.
