HEW FORM OF LUNCHEONS
Something Which Prospective Brides Will
Bo Particularly Interested In.
SOCIETY COMMENCES THE WHIRL AGAIN

' 'Two souls with liut n single thought , *
Two hcurt.H that beat ns one. "
Fashion lias made It the proper thing to
Invllo the betrothed couple , nml as many
of their ( Mentis as your dining table will
accommodate , to breakfast , lunch , dlno and
wine , or sup with you.
The rather formidable formality of a dinner
party Is least nmonablo to variation , but at
least there nre men at a dinner , and that
keeps the wcmoii at any rate from complete
boredom. . .
Hut the luncheon that the- girl friends
of the bride-elect turn Into phonographic-
Idnetoscoplc melees of fun and flu ? feathers
really offers a choice * opportunity for pretty
Invention.
55um belsplel , The handsome , carved din
ing room mahogany la Ignomlrilously ban
ished. In Its place are ! t up two tables
that are of perfect heart shape. The apices
or points are Joined under an Immense
truo-lover's knot.
Palo green Is an exquisite shade , but oh ,
please do not have anything In g con at nn
engagement luncheon save- the maidenhair
fern. Orson la for Jealously , se7 If you
do , you will not allow the bride-elect to
nee It.
Thus , for the luncheon thnt was gotten up
the other day for a Murry III11 fiance , ths
flowers were selected , not only for their
beauty , but for their poetic language.
Forget-me-nots , which mean Irus- love ,
were the principal blosscms , the cover laid
for the lovely blonde guest of honor b lng
literally embedded In the dcllcato blooms.
For each of the other girl guests , there
was a nosegay of blossoms selected with es
pecial rtgard for their laptness to the
maiden's relations with the spry little god
of love. There wore white daisies for the
"Innocence" of the youngest bud of them
all ; scarlet fuschlas for the "good taste" of
another ; hawthorne for "hope ; " the exquisite
little cluster of tiny yellow-white leaves of
the lettuce heart and a bit of lady's slipper
for the capricious beauty and cold-hearted-
nosi of the oldest debutante among them ;
and so on. There Is room for unlimited
changes to be rung on this Idea , and the
llower language makes a capital subject for
chatter In that silent and boresome first few
minutes of any formal meal.
A fleur-de-lis luncheon Is n pretty compli
ment to one "born In the purple , bdrn to
Joy nnd pleasure , " as Longfellow .puU It ,
The table Is ohaped like the royal Louis VII
badge , nnd Is laid with white , with a va-
Icnco of gold fleur-de-lis figures on a white
ground. ( An ordinary cloth cannot be spread
over these odd-shapsd tables. )
Another charming Idea for a luncheon tc
ono who has bcn a bit of a flirt Is to use
a fan-shaped table. The guests sit on the
sldo representing the top of the fan. The
"istlcks" are made by ribbons of delicate tlnl
and harmonizing shades , ending In one larg :
bow upon a standard representing the meet
ing point of the sticks. The space undei
the ribbons Is turned Into a bed of moss
and ferns , and thrust Into this bank arc
long-stemmed American beauty roses , thai
poop through tlie ribbons to nod fragrantly
at the other beauties on the opposite "sldo ol
the table.
As Hen Johnson says :
"The end Is to have two made ono
In will and In affection. "

social pleasures Monday with a luncheon al

Within the next two weeks the Omaha club
will begin moving Into 1U palatial new home
on the northwest corner of Twentieth and
Douglas street , nnd the members of this
organization , or at least the bachelors , expect
to enjoy their Christmas turkey In the fine
new grill rooms. The contractor has agreed
to let the club occupy the basement and first

thought that the structure will bo completed
by the 15th of next month , The formal openIng -
Ing nnd public reception will probably occur

prl.o of the members nnd officers of the
club , but It Is nn ornament to the city.

Inthlng quarters ot the employes of the club.
The walk and yard surrounding the club
house are > made of slagollthlc composition ,
nnd on each side ot the main entrance wilt
be beds of brilliant flowers In season. The
members of the club arc eomcwliat anxious
to get Into their new quarters , but the con
tractors , Mtfgi&v Bassett & PcrcLval , have
assured them ttftt they can occupy the first
floor on the IstAt the coming month.
The Om.iluLjtriib was organized about fif
teen years ago. The membership Is over 280 ,
with a limit of 500. The Initiation tee U $100.
with annual , < diies cf $ CO for resident mem
bers nnd $30 'for nonresidents. The Initiation
will probably be raised to $200 nnd many

Vtrdl has crossed the Alps for tha second
time In six months to direct the production
of his "Otcllo" nt the Paris opcrn. The oc-
toRNiarlan composer Is n genius At rehear
sal ! * . He not only shows the company1 how
ho wants tha opera acted , but teaches thorn
how It must bo rendered vocally by Ringing
the different parts with n volco that Is envied -
vied by younger men. The Paris Journals
relate a characteristic nnecdolo of his In
structions to the- tenor Vaglccnirt , who was
studying the part ot Casilo. Vnglcourt hns
n fine voice , and at rehearsals ho was show
ing It oft to the best advantage.
"That won't do nt nil , " shouted Verdi.
"You must lmltat the drunkard llko this. "
nnd ho sang the passage In the way ho
wished It rendered.
"Mon DIeu , " ejaculated the tenor , "I can
not change my voice. "
"Oh , yes you can , " said Verdi. "Drink a
glass too much on the night ot thf- first
performance , nnd you will do It splendidly. "
Slgnor Leoncavallo Is a fortunate com
poser. No less than twenty-three theaters
In Franco nro now producing his opera ,
"Pagllaccl. " H In also being performed In
Spain , Italy , Holland , Germany nnd Egypt.
Mr. Grail "will glvo It several productions
at the Metropolitan opera house In New York
this winter , nnd It Is In high favor with Iho
Engltah. The Uajrrcuth devotees who con-
slnnlly assure us that the new school of
Italian music. Is ephemeral find It dlfllcutt to
explain the universal popularity of Mascngn !
nnd Leoncavallo. Yet they find tmifh com
fort In Iho fad lhat the author of "Cavnl-
terla Rustlcana" has brought forth no fHtlnn
successor lo lhat famous opern. After sev
eral years of popularity the woes of Snntuzzn
are now slightly on the wane , nnd Mascagnl
has apparently given place to Leoncavallo.
Miss Lillian Itiissetl Is much dIsappolntc-J
ever the failure of "Tho Queen ot Brilliants. "
She flays , "Wo have to cndu-o certain pri
vations for the sake of our voices thnt people
In other spheres ot life would not counte
nance. And when the nrtlst has struggled
to hold the fort until capllulallon Is compul
sory and she Is obliged to succumb , the dls-
appointment ot her audience Is the singer's
greatest grief. Unkind remarks arc often
made , but If the public would only consider
the case lliey might be charitable and for
giving. An unjxjpular opera , a sudden strain
of the voice , an ovcr-txertlon or two great nn
effort to please nnd the whole Bum nnd stib-
stance of n singer's ambition may bo gene
before she can realize It. " A plea thus reas
onably and eloquently expressed must bo ac
cepted. Lot Lillian cheer up and do her brat
In "The Grand Duchess. " She may be happy
yet.

Mr. Taber entertained an audience Jast
Monday evening at Trinity cathedral with ono
of the most attractive programs he has yet
presented to the public. It was rendered
with nil the grace and perfection one la
accustomed to expect from htm. The great
satisfaction In attending these recitals Is
the feeling that one Is going to hear some
thing good and enjoyable and not be com
pelled to listen for a long time to n lot ot
dry , uninteresting music , which docs not en
tertain ono in the least. It Is always a pleas
ure to listen to Mr. Taber , as ho Is able to
obtain EO much beauty and poetry from his
selections , and ho Illustrales them with that
delicacy and refinement for which ho Is noted.
The termination ot these recitals will bo a
great loss to the public generally , nnd a reproach
preach to Omaha musically. There will bo
three more recitals. The program fop to
