Afur the brilliancy of the wck before , this tndiU-n liipii * Into ( inlsludo wai hardly expected. Ilowevfr , HIP church wedding of Mitt Chamber * and Mr. Ouy Parkoos itiltc | u brilliant affair. Tlitre were 'C'Vcral ciror- tjlnmcnli given In their 'loftof ' , fie most of \.hlth was the bos parly at H&yd's on Man- day evening by Mr. and Mrs. r. II. Johnson and Mr. nnd Mis. A. I. . . Kccil , Tfiank'glvliiK da } wis particularly mark -d by the fool ball game , to which society turned out In large numbers , all thf olpge roiche linvlng bicn chartered for Week * before - fore for thli event.

Probably Uio event of the ? fo oii , socially , musically and dramatically , will bo the ( ! er- inan open , to which all music lovers are anxiously looking forward. Uame rumor rays tint antlhsr one of Omaha's charming coclcly glrle Is engaged. The wedding may occur In the spring. fl Poverty ini tic's arc the htcst fads In the cost , and cro long It Is expected that they will be held In tills city. Unlk ) our Cin derella datici-s , there Is no limit of tlmo. but of adornment. The company U attired like Cinderella , on an off night , when she h not at a ball. Any guest who put ? on Jcwe'iy or gorgeous apparel Is lined , nnd the money l devoted to charity. Ono l .if i aid tint the male element would predominate at these parties , for even tlie most Quaker-like of young ladles "love theli clothes. " by which they mean their best clothes. Tha nnjorlt.v of mankind , on the other hand , willingly dl - psnsa with their "go-to-mrctlni : " carments and find It a great lellct where the "reguh lions respecting evening diejq are sus pended. " 'ihe rules of these pivcrty partle' Boeni to bo almost unnecessarily thorough Blnco even the Imitations arc printed on coorso brown piper. Though poverty U > said to bo no crime , It has a close relation to II and perhaps fashion will some ( by have her crime par'les. To have everything In har mony the Invitation cards ( orlglnilly stolen ) should have ( In forged handwriting ) the In- tlmatloir"prlson dress. " Ono reason why afternoon teas are becoming i ing to popular Is because , when men are excluded , women can talk of their dress nnd their neighbors to their hearts' content. A party of three , consisting of Luthci Drake , Mr. Frank Himllton and Lieutenant Hutchison , onjojod the first night perform ance ot Crane with unusual /eft. The fact that the young hero of the play assumed the name of ono ot Ihe trio made the amue.ng In cidents of the evening particularly enleitain- Ing lo this part ot the audience. When Hu- chanan Billings wiotc out the telegram to the hotel proprietor , asking him to reserfO a loom as near as possible to that occupied by Mr. and MM. Prank Hamilton , emoute on their wedding tour , the enthusiasm of this group apparently Know no boundy. Aftei witnessing ths wedded blls of his stage counterpart , the frlendi of the Om.iha verity need not be surpilbed If ho Hhould attempt to go and do likewise.
