The social event of last week was the
leap year ball given at Crelghton hall on
Wednesday evening by Misses Illmtlrtugli
and Celpetzer , two of Omaha's favorites.
This was one of the most brilliant as well
a one of the most enjoyable events of the
season. Nothing was left undone that could
In any way contribute to Its success. Much
credit Is due thetc parties , who , notwith
standing the small price of the tickets , suc
ceeded so admirably In managing money
matters that they have still quite a sum on
hand which they will devote to tome chari
table Institution.
The hall was beautifully decorated with
palm ? , fern ? , rubber plant * and holly. The
floor was canvassed for dancing.
The musicians were on the stage , which
wan n perfect bower of palms nnd potted
plants.
Tete-a-tete chairs were- placed hero and
there about the room , and behind screens ,
thus making charmng [ retreats.
Beverage was served from n prettily deco
rated table on the landing at the head of
the stairs. Refreshments were served up
stairs In the balcony , which was elegantly
fitted up with handsome rugs , divans and
n number of tete-a-teto chairs , with number
less pillows , giving It a very homelike ap
pearance.
The polished mahogany was beautifully
decorated with huge bawa ot violet-colored
satin ribbons , with quantities ot fragrant
violets gracefully strewn over the surface.
Bunches of violet candy curls were tied with
ribbons and placed on the table. Cut glass
candelabra nnd dishes of almonds completed
this pretty picture.
Delicious refreshments wcro served , and It
IB needless to say the men were all well
looked after. Miss Hlmebaugh nnd Bliss Col
petzer pouring the coffee.
The music was splendid and the musicians
obligingly responded many times to hearty
encores.
The programs , too , were quite unique .and
the men's choice of Liberty belles was the
only time when they had their say nt all.

Among the many happy family reunions
around the Christmas festal board one that
took place In the city In the borne of a
young married couple well known In social
circles will go down In history as the termina
tion of one of the most Interesting little ro
mances enacted In this city. It was not two
years ago that the newspaper reading public
was set agog by the announcement of nn
olopsmcnt , followed by the customary wrath
of the young woman's Irate parent. It was
the oid story of true love that never runs
pmoothly. The runaway couple had been go
ing with one another for sotno time and only
the objections cf the girl's father had pre
vented the young man from claiming his
brldo months before.
The scene nt the parents' houss on the day
after the marriage was sensational In the ex-
trme. The father proclaimed that he would
never bo reconciled to the match. Ho re
fused to see his daughter and forbade other
members of the family to speak of her In
his presence. He even publicly asserted tha't
hewould rather see his daughter's dead
body than have her re-enter his home.
In the Interval the young couple discreetly
pursued the even tenor of their ways. They
returned to Omaha after a brief wedding tour
and set up a household of tholr own. The
little home was brightened some months ago
by the advent of a son and heir and nothing
remained to mar the picture of domestic
bliss but the persistent refusal of the wife's
parent to recede from his position. This
dual touch wns brought by the occasion of
the Christmas dinner. The cntlro family ,
from grandparent to grandchild , was In
cluded In th ? list of Invited guests. The roim
was radiant with forgiveness aud forgetful-
nesu. and the members of the family re
united. It Is hoped , never again to'be es
tranged.
A very good story reached the society
editor not many days ago , one which will
bear repeating. A certain leader In society ,
who Is notd for ber elegant dinners , was to
glvo one on n certain day last week. She
naturally spent a good part , of two days
In the realms of the kitchen superintending
and even preparing many of the excsllent
dishes with her own fair hands.
The day of the dinner she went upstairs
to take her bath and a little siesta , teellng
utterly exhausted. She Instructed 'the. maid
to" say that aho was lying down nnd wished
to be excused sbould nny ono call.
However , she had been resting , with her
hair in curl papers and wrapped up In a
huge eider down quilt , but a short tlms when
the door bell rang and quite a commotion
followed In the hall below , which resulted
in n woman and siveral children being
vshcred upstairs Into the bedroom.
It seems that this woman's husband , being
a very bospltabla man and fond of com
pany , could not resist the temptation to go
to the door when the ball rang.
Not many minutes elapsed when the bell
again sounded and the host again rushed to
the door and Invited the femala visitor and
her children upstairs.
When the bell rang the third.time nnd a
woman came In with whom the ) man was
not oven acquainted ( although ho had heard
of her frequently ) the thought that It would
bo a pity to have her miss seeing bis wife
occurred to him , so he said : "Oh , my wife
lo lying down , but there are others upstairs ,
so Just walk right up. " She was , to say
the least , somewhat surprised , but her sur
prise know no limits when she reached the
room nnd here she beheld Mrs. In her
bath robe en dishabille.
The curtain lecture which followed was
merited.
The appearance of Mr. Will McMillan ,
formerly of this city , but now for a number
of years located nt Salt Lake City , on the
dancing floor nt the Leap Year ball recalled
a flood of reminiscences to many of the
older people In attendance. Mr. McMillan
was not so very long ago the recognized
leader of the society set In Omaha. He was
In demand at every social function , Leap
year * balls Included. IIo had the reputation
of bo'ng the best dancer In the city nnd
vns regularly railed upon to lead nt ger-
mEns and cotillions nnd to take a promi
nent part * In nearly every dancing party.
Some of the young ladles who Invited htm
to dance last week Insist that ho still sus
tains his old-tlmo reputation as nn Ideal
society man.
Women are supposed to have much more
curiosity than men , but It Is doubtful whether
that be true , as nlnn out of every ten men
who attended the leap year ball wcra so
curious to know liow the BJrls were managing ,
nnd how the preparations were progressing ,
and how the hall wai to look , that they
dropped In smetlmo during the < day and
IilnderHl the managers , not a little , with their
numerous questions and miggestlons.
However , there was one man whom the girls
will remember aa having helped them oycr
1113 of the rough placet1 , as he was at the
hall from 8 n. m. until 3 p. m. , and was not
Idle for ono moment.
It would have bean a pretty compliment to
present the dainty violet drcoratlons nt the
leap yenr ball the other evening to the two
girls who had done so much and
given BO much of their time to
thn success of the enterprise. The
vlolelj , however , did not go to thso two
young women , but Instead , they were taken
promiscuously by persons who happened to bo
In attendance. _ _ _
The other day at a reception one of
Omaha's fntr 400 was beautifully dressed , but
buforo leaving home uho carefully tied a
large white silk muffler around her nock
nnd around her waist to protect her fresh
while silk chiffon front In her elegant now
gown. Arriving at tin pJrty and meeting
friends upstairs , elio quickly pulled oft her
coat ana walked down stairs , forgetting to
take elf the muffler. H was not until she
came up that she had noticed her laughable
mistake.
One of the popular young bachelor society
men experienced a new wnsatlon on Now
Year's day at a reception , when an eastern
girl took him under the mistletoe and fondly
embraced and kissed him. It caused quite
a flutter of excitement.
The engagement Is announced of Miss K th-
erlno Crelghto-n , daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
John D. Crelghton , who. Is ono ot Omaha's
most charming society girls , to Dr. Charles
C , Alllpon , a prominent young surgeon of
this City.
Tbo announcement of this e-ngagement Is
by no means a eurprtss , for it has beaa ex
pected for some time ,
MclCliiMtry-Gntvvrnoil.
Ono of the happiest social events of the
now year was the marriage of Mr. Frank Y.
McKluatry and Miss Blanch * GatowooJ , on
th arcnlng of .Ttnuiry 1 , nt the residence-
the brldo'd cousins , Mr. and Mra. Chirlea
Hoye , Eighteenth and Vlnton M-rcets. Mr.
Edward AuctMttn , Jr , acted n groomsman
and Miss Bessie Gttewood us bridesmaid.
Rev. Robert L. Wheeler , D.D. , e-f South
Omaha officiated at the ceremony , which wno
followed by A largo reception. The happy
couple will be at homo after January IK at
2022 N street , South Omaha.
The McWhortcr Slnw 1'nrty.
The stag party given by Mr. S. A , Me-
Whorter at his handsome and commodious
residence on Now Year's eve was one of
the gwellest ever given In this city.

ent , this homo Is so spacious and will ac
commodate so many that ono would scarcely
realize that there were so many present.

and the billiard room and shooting gallery
w.cre nlso occupied during the evening.
The hall , library , corridors and largo
stairway were artistically festooned with
holly and Christmas greens nnd palm ? . The
whlto and gold drawing room , with mtu'ic
room adjoining , were simply but effectively
decorated with smllax nnd dainty pink car
nations.
. ,
The magnificent dining room was aglow
with Its panels nnd beams of solid mahog
any nnd mahogany furniture , the massive
sideboard and mantel glittering with china
and cut glass , with gorgeous red roses upon
the table , making complets the red effect.
At 10 o'clock refreshments were served ,
the course being finished with a delicious
cup of "tutti-frutti , " composed of French
nnd candled fruits , cut up In a liquor of
marasqulno nnd good old sherry.
