That society U now at full tide at all the
/lotcd seaside , lake and mountain resorts
there Is little doubt , and the metropolitan
press fairly tccma with graphic and
Iridescent descriptions of the gayctles ,
not to mention the full page pictures
and ban mots In colors , some of which
are enough to make one hide behind hnr
tan , at least , If ono has not been brought up
that way. And yet the stay-at-homes this
year , anyway In Omaha , are greatly In the
majority. People who own cottages by the
lakes or In the hills are now established In
them , and town houses are closed , al least
the front shutters are up , but It U really
Wpndcrtul bow many of those who live In
the breezy and healthy suburbs of fortunate
Omaha arc persisting In the enjoyment
.of real comfort and good living.
Most of the resorts In tlio mountains this
year arc called Adamlesa Kdcns , as thcro is
not n hint of the "potent factor" ot the sum
mer's enjoyment for the "summer girl. " The
summer young man In vogue Is described as
"callow and very young. " Frequently he Is
In his freshman year , Is athletic In build and
addicted to white duck trousers and much
tennis. Ilia hair Is worn In n great big shock ,
with a straight part down the middle , and Is
almost the same shade as Ills yellow tan
shoes. Ho has not much to say , but he
dances divinely. He Is Invited everywhere ,
and plays the "Washington Post" on the
piano. Ho Is said to be harmless , useful and
good-natured ; chiefly abounds In great num
bers at Mlnnetonka and the northern lakes ,
where I saw him myself last week in great
flocks.
A West Farnam street belle at Spirit Lake
complains of the scarcity of the summer
man , and says : "Tho masculine gender here
may bo classified as married , engaged , In
fantile or Imbeclllc , with the married man
In highest favor. "
There have been but few lords or dukes
stopped at Manawa or Courtland beach this
summer , at sad variance with Bar Harbor ,
"Newport and Asbury Park.
There Is a young married woman from
Omaha at Manitou Springs , says the Denver
Republican , who Is creating something of a
havoc. It Is unanimously agreed upon , says
the Republican , by even the most critical
of women guests as being the handsomest and
most charming creature that has been there
this season. She Is described as a Juno-
like beauty , with a smile llko sunshlno and
an adorable voice , which she uses well.
Who can she be , and Is she from Omaha ?
Ono of our young society athletes was
driving out the old Military road on Thurs
day last with a Miss H. , when the spectacle
if a woman pitching hay to n man on a
wagon 'presented Itselt to them.
"Go hand up the rest of that grass for
the poor thing , " said Miss II. , who doesn't
know any too much about agricultural par
lance , to her escort , and the muscular foot-
balllst didn't do n tiling- but hand the reins
to his fair companion , hustle out ot the cart ,
over the barb wlro fence , and In the sun's
flerco rays did such valiant battle against
that haycock that when he got through
there wasn't a wisp left. This abnormal
young man then modestly returned to his
wagon , with the odor of the now mown hay
* nd other Ingredients still lingering with
i Jm , and drove silently nway.
The society people are so fly , so smart ,
BO clever that we don't allow much that Is
good In the way of gossip to get away from
us , and while It doesn't particularly affect
swell Omaha , It Is n socialistic disturbance
that may prove contagious. The New York
Herald says that "this winter will witness
the first organized contest for social
supremacy In Gotham that has
taken place since the days of
the Schermerhorns. Mrs. Paran Stev
ens Is looked up to by ono of the par
ties , and Ward McAllister will lead the
legions of the other fiction. It seems that
for some time there has been a silent pretest -
test by the Insiders , ns the old aristocracy
are called , against the custom of admitting
anybody nnd everybody with money who
choscTto erect a palace on Fifth avenue.
The effects ot the policy are declared to bo
painfully evident when New York's social
dottles visit London and Paris. There be
ing no recognized social power In New
York , none Is recognized abroad , and the
Knickerbockers are forced to bo polite In
the drawing rooms of the British aristocracy
to people whom they would not even nottco
In New York.
"Now , as It Is the habit In London to ro-
celvo any ono who has made a name In art ,
literature or other fields ot endeavor. It Is
proposed to follow some such practice here.
Therefore , Invitations are to be sent to
people who heretofore have not been rec
ognized by any of the Four Hundred of
the Knickerbocker stamp. Such a procedure -
uro would Injure the prospects of those who
:1 > have only mcney to back them , and U being
: resisted by vho faction headed by Ward Mc
Allister. Hence , as Mrs. Stevens Is de
termined not to recognize any inoro newly
rich , there Is In store for New York a real
old time society fight. Ono of the tests of
the Stevens faction Is to bo the possession
ot a coat ot arms , whllo all who have no
such boast of heraldry must hasten to pro
vide for themselves with one. The Mc
Allister factlcn ought to have the best of It ,
r therefore , since money will buy anything
fA . "
oven a coat-of-arms.
Now , Isn't that simply painful ?

Married , Tuesday morning , July HI , at the
home of the bride's" mother , S2JI North
Dupont nvrmie , Minneapolis , § Mr. Ralph
Everett Sundcrland and Miss Cora Longenc
Page.
It was a day of sunihlno and gladness ,
not a cloud cast a shadow and not a mur
mur from the grand old trees -platted by
naturo's own hand In the spacious grounds
about the Page residence. All wns blithe
and bright that morning , and the home
never seemed moro sweet and attractive.
The roomy house Is well arranged for such
nn occasion , and with a liberal supply ol
palms , snillax and cut flowers peeping hero
and there from nooks and corners , It was a
most refreshing commingling when nil the
guests had at rived , adding their happy faces
to the sccno. The reception rooms were
filled with a delightful company of relatives
and friends , qulto a number of whom had
como from other cities. At 10:30 : Mrs.
Hedge , u ulster of the groom , appeared nt
the piano and played the preludu to a fa
miliar tone , which has not lost Its charm
by popular usage , when Mr. Abel of this
city , nn Intimate friend ot the groom , en
tered from a back stairway and snug DC-
Kovcn's " 0 , Promise Me , " with much ex
pression. It was aptly appropriate for the
occasion , and the unswer , "I Promise
Thee , " was to hnvo been sung just nfter tli9
ceremony , but the young lady who wns to
sing could not be present. Mrs. M. S.
Lamerenux played the wedding march , and
the bridal proccslon was led down the hall
stairs by Rev. Milton F. Negus , pastor of
the Fourth Baptist church ; Mr. Fred S.
Abel , best man , and Miss S. Alta Page , a
sister of the bride , maid of honor ; the
groom nml the bride ; Master Clinton Mel-
Icty : , a cUle little fellow , bearing the golden
wedding circlet upon a large white satin
cushion , and little Dorothy Wllcox from
Chicago , n sweet little maid of three sum
mers nml a niece of the bride , carried the
bride's white roses. The party halted In
the front parlor , where the vows were
plighted nnd the two glad hearts joined.
The ceremony was very short and Impres
sive , nnd the minister's words wore original
nnd spoken in a delightfully happy manner
Aa soon as the last sacred word had beci
spoken and Mr. and Mrs. Stinderland hai
been Introduced , n copious shower of con
gratulatlons commenced to rain.
The bride was a charming and gracefu
figure In n very becoming gown of white
chiffon over India silk. The groom wns
appropriately nttlred In conventional black
Prince Albert coat , made long. The male
of honor wag dressed In pure whlto am
carried a largo bunch of pink sweet peas.
After a time had been enjoyed in hand
shaking and wishing well , a dainty wed
ding breakfast was served from small tables
A small side room had been arranged foi
the gifts , which were numerous and beauti
ful. The groom's gift to the bride was
an elegant watch , finely enamelled , nnd set
with diamonds , with appropriate engraving
On one of the tables was a card which
stated that two now bicycles had been ship
ped and were at the lake awaiting the'ar-
rlval of the owners. Since they are both
enthusiastic cyclists , tlte wheels will add
considerably to the pleasure of their outIng -
Ing , two or three weeks of which will be
spent at Phantom Lake Inn , Mukwonago ,

The summer season is coming to n clo.

with which Omaha Is at present suffering
Next week will sea the first faint effort

parly nt Mr. Victor Lantry's resldenco n

In England people rent country house :
and spend a few jolly weeks there will
their friends. Of late years house partle :
have become all the rage In Newport am
Tuxedo , so why should not the smart pee
pie of Omaha enjoy themselves likewise' '
Undoubtedly they will , ns plans are nlrendj
being made for several such affairs nex
month. In nn Interview with one o
Omahn'sismartest young men , who hns trnv
eled a great deal and attended several housi
parties In different parts of the country , hi
says with the proper selection cf guesti
a cotillion of this kind Is a most enjoyabli
affair. Growing reminiscent , bo told of i
house- , party given by a New Yorker at i
country place near Hartford. The guest !
were entertained right royally. The hotisi
had .formerly been the manor of an olc
New England family , and contained turn !
turo of a rare and expensive quality am
plates of sliver , while the cellar was stockei
with old wines enough to float a schooner
The stable contained two coaches and saddli
horses enough for everybody. Driving
riding , tennis and polo were the prlnclpa
forms of amusement during the day , and Ir
the evening the orchestra discoursed sweel
music , while the guests kept time with danc
Ing feet. I spoke to him about the costs
and ho said , of course a house party could
cost whatever cno wished to put Into It ,
Our here a house party Is looked upon almost
the same as n camping out , and the expense
may be very light. However , a good chel
a waitress , with a well stocked larder , and n
groomsman and a well filled stable are the
absolute necessities of a house party.

LONDON , Aug. 4. UOyally Is decidedly In
creasing Its devotion to the theater. Las
Saturday was the duchess of York's first nj :
penrnnco In public since her recovery , whei
she went to see Ilejau In "Mine. Sans-Jcan.1
On Saturday the duke of York and the prlnc
nnd princess of Wnles were present nt Cov
cut Garden.
Miss Dooth's negotiations for the lease o
the Garrlck theater are off. Miss Uooth nni
Mr. Itaro were unable to agree as to th
terms of the lease and so E. S. Wlllard wll
take the house for n short season and pro
duce nation's "John Necdham's Double. "
ffady Somerset , who , by the way , leave :
Southampton for New York by the stcame
Paris today , visited the Palace theater re
cently. .Slnco then Lady Somerset has writ
ten a letter to the newspapers declaring tha
In the "tableaux vlvanls" at that establish
ment petticoats , bodices "and all" are frankl ;
dispensed with , fop the first time In n Chris
tlan country , and yet all are bidden to nssls
at "this exhibition of unclothed women. '
Lady Somerset adds : "This letting woniei
make public merchandise of the beauty o
tljelr- bodies Is the gravest Insult an dls
honor put upon women In our time. J appca
to the English public as accomplices In tin
ruin and degradation of these girls , and de
mand to know why the county council doe ;
not Interefere. "
Whether the letter will have any cffccl
beyond being n splendid advertisement foi
the Palace theater Is more than doubtful.
Florence St. John has taken May Yohe'f
place In "Little Christopher Columbus" at
the Lyric theater. Gcraldlne Ultnar has alst
Joined the cast.
ARRANGING AMERICAN TOURS.
Trebelll Is to undertake a series of concerts -
certs In the United States next spring , sing
ing In Cincinnati , Springfield , Indianapolis
and Columbus at the musical festivals to be
held In these cities.
American tours have also been arranged for
Ben Davies , Lloyd , Wntkin Mills , Paderewskl ,
De Pachmann , Ysaze , Cesare , Thompson ,
Kozalskl and Hollman.
In addition. Mine. Nevada Is arranging a
tour , and will sing In Wagner's early opera ,
"The Fairies. "
So many of the theaters arc now closed that
theatrical gossip of the past week has been
rather of what Is to > be than what Is. With
the exception of "Tho Professor's Love
Story" at the Comedy , which has still a week
longer to run , burlesque , farce and melo
drama will have It all to themselves during
the dog days , a significant fact , as showing
the true tastes of what Beerbohm Tree has
called the "blear-eyed majority. "
It Is a pity that Miss Booth was not able
to obtain a lease of the Garrick , as a pow
erful cast had been engaged for her American
play , "Little Miss Cute , " Including Rob Har-
wood , Albert Sims , Allan Aynesworth , Mrs.
Herbert Waring , Fannie Ward and Alexis
Sllghton. "Little Miss Cute" was to be pre
ceded by a new farce by Fred Homer , enti
tled "On Toast. " Miss Booth will probably
be more successful In the fall.
"The Gentleman Whip , " now being played
In front of "Tho Now Boy" al the Vaude
ville , will be replaced " next Thursday by
"Loyal , " a one-act play by H. Johnson , the
editor of Fun. "Loyal" treats of an episode
In the lite o Charles II , and the heroine , a
kind of modern Imogene , will bo played by
Esme Barlnger , who nets so' amusingly as
the servant clrl In "The New Boy. "
If circumstances prove propitious , Fanny
Brough , who Is , at once n clever actress and
a first-rate business woman , will shorly un
dertake the management ot a London thea
ter. She says with regard to her plans-
"There Is a very likely probability that my
naino will be associated with management
late In this coming autumn , but the great
difficulty la to get ) a. desirable theater. I
have already three good plays , of which I
hope one at deost will surely take the public
taste. If the scheme falls through , I shall
most likely go to America and Australia
next year. I have already received excel
lent offers for both , bub would not accept
them this year. "
FOLLOWING UP SARAH BERNHARDT.
There are probably only two English ac
tresses capable of touching the part ot "La
Tosca. " Miss Olga Brandon and Mrs. Patrick
Campbell. The first named has formed a
company for the purpose of taklrifc Sardou's
play on a tour from the middle of September ,
and an Interesting feature in connection with
the tour will be that Miss Brandon will
visit the towns at which Sarah Bernhardt
recently appeared in the same character.
Mrs. Lucas , who before her divorce from
Mr. Qovett , her first husband , was well
known In the best Bohemian society , will
play the queen and the cast will also Include
Charles Thursby , who was responsible for
the production of "The Blackmailers , " the
work of two Oscar Wlldo fledglings.
Henry Irving has received many anony
mous presents during his long tenancy of the
Lyceum , but none surprised him more than
a gift lately sent him from the village of
Hazelmore , la Surrey. Two small children
belonging to what Is known as the Pollock
set , viz. , the friends of Sir Frederick and
Lady Pollock , were taken to the Lyceum ,
nnd wore so much Impresesd by Mr. Irvlng's
actlnc that they determined to make him
a present as o. mark of their admiration. So
they saved up their pocket money until It
reached the sum of $4 , and then purchased
n largo volume of "Tho Christian Year , "
which they addressed to Mr. Irving at the
stage door of his theater.
Since Charles Morton was appointed
manager ot thu Palace theater of varieties
bo has been Indefatigable In adding to the
attractions of the program. Miss Bessie
Clayton , who during her engagement at
the Trafalgar was described , as * "a mobt
magnificent dancer , " Is his latest acquisi
tion , and her high back-kicking has come
as a revelation to the muclc hall public ,
jaded with the stereotyped dances of the
serio-comic nnd .serpentine orders.
Because Miss Llzzlo Hastings , who has
been described aa the "Feminine Charles
Godfrey , " and Is now singing at the
Aquarium , made a considerable reputation
at San Francisco In 1892 , many of the news
papers have jumped to the conclusion that
she Is an American. This , of course , is
not the case. ; her parents are English. Miss
Hastings appeared at San Francisco In
Brudy's "After Dark" company and obtained
; reat popularity with her songs , "I Don't
Know , I Don't Care ; " "Yes , Are You ? " and
'Meet Me at the Corner. " During the
ircsldentlal election she sung political verses
; o the music of "I'll Have 'Em Uye-and-
Bye , " from "Faust Up to Date , " She also
appeared at the People's theater , Oakland ,
Miss Hastings hua traveled all over Australia
with her own company , which was known
is the "Lizzie Hastings Picnic Party. "
Mrs. Oscar Bcrlnecr has dramatized an
other story by Morley C. Roberts , "Within
ills Rights , " and the play has been pro-
lounccd by a leading critic to bo cms ot
jxccptlonal strength , Morley Roberts' varied
experience of all sides of life ho has been
n turn before the mast , rancher , cow-
lunchcr , etc. have been of Invaluable serv-
co to a writer so essentially dramatic In
endency. In person ho rather suggests the
nuscular Christian than the man of letters ,
ind has a certain alllnlty with the robust
.ype of Dr. Conan Doyle.
Beerbohm Tree will start on his tour In
tha provinces on the 20th Inst. and will
it&y away seven weeks. Ho will reopen at

In .Momory.
The following tribute to the memory o !
Will Wnkeley has been offered by one ol
his friends , :
The tragic and untimely death of William
C. Wnkeley In the full vigor of early man
hood and at the threshold of a most promis
ing career , prompts this tribute of affection
and esteem from one who for many years
Ifad .known and loved him well. Unfeigned
sorrow and keen grief over the event were
echoed from hou&e to house and from heart
to heart throughout the city where ho had
lived since childhood's days. Ills nobleness
of nature , his manly character , and Ms
many marked and unusual gifts of mind and
person endeared him to nil with whom he
came In contact , and with those his name
and memory will long remain.
A genial disposition , an unselfish spirit
and a happy temperament were among bin
predominant characteristics. He moved In
an atmosphere of sunshine , felt by all who
came Into his presence. Ever ready to do n
favor , no self-sacrifice was too great for him ,
and It may truly be said that ho was n
htrangcr to selfish thoughts. Of magnetic
nature , warm hearted and generous , he pos
sessed n faculty of making friends almost
phenomenal in Its character. This wns evi
denced In n remarkable way by the universal
expression of kindness and regret , of sorrow
and , personal grief on the part of all classes
of people who knew him , and was testified by
the great throng who were piescnt yester
day when the last sad rites of earth were
paid. This genuine nnd spontaneous tribute
of admiration and esteem deeply touched and
moved his patents and his family , nnd wns
a grntcful solace In tholr affliction.
His business and public life , closed at so
early an age , was n fitting counterpart to
his social character. He had n notable talent
and quick apprehension In business tnat-
ters. which made him always accurate and
, ready , both In his private and public em
ployment , and which foreshadowed n bril
liant future had his life gone on.
We shall miss htm In the years to come ;
we shall miss the happln'ess and geniality
which ever accompanied his presence that
geniality which left htm not even In his last
momenta under the momentary cloud of mind
In which his life went out. How fitting , too ,
It was that he should be borne to his last
resting place under the bright summer sky
and amidst the profusion of flowers which
typified his Joyous life nnd nature , and har
monized so well with his happy spirit. Good
bye , dear Will , may you have In the beyond
the reward you deserve. You have not lived
In vain. Your many kind acts and deeds
will long bo your monument for the many
who loved you living and who mourn you
dead.
Lay him to sleep whom we have learned
to love ;
Lay him to sleep whom we have learned
to trust :
The flowers of faith shall bloom his grave
above ,
The seeds of hope shall spring from out
his dust. _ _
