If BRILLIANT LAWN FETE FOR CHARITY Tlilf of IViiHilnr .Movement I" Turning OiiiiiliiMinril from .Miiunlnlii , Dot-nil , l.nkn nnil IMnln. I t t week differed from every other week In the noddy Bummer In Hint It contained one of the Urgent and most enjoyable social events of any and all seasoim the charity lawn fete on the Joslyn grounds. An ex tended account of this pretty festival will bo found elsewhere on this page , which nhould make the c who ntnld nway regret their non-attendance and recall pleasant nicmorlcH to those who went. An artless , but particularly effective feature about the advertising connected with this entertain- went was the Indication let fall , by way of the merest hint at flrat. that there would to bathing In n pond on the lawn , and tliat nulls a la mode would be furnished at rea sonable rates at the dressing rooms along ( ho shore. It would doubtless be hazardous to assort that such a pronpect attraeted jnoro spectators to the beautiful grounds on West Davenport street than motives of phil anthropy or of curliulty otherwise man ifested. Uut It In borne In upon the ob server of results tlrnl the battling scheme wan a m.iatcr ntroke of the diplomacy of ad vertising. To ln > nure , there was not a great deal of bathing In the pretty little pool , with its pond lilies mid rushes ; but It Is not likely that ( hose who gave the matter much though expected another Coney Island. At any rate , the gratifying financial success of this festival , following within a month upon n similar enterprise happily carried out on ' 4ho Klmball lawn , Is likely to set a paeo for pitch entertainment ! ) which may be emu lated once more before the early frctits , and I.- ' Is sure to be Imitated In coming seasons. Kncouraged by thin prosperous venture , yet stilt anxious tn extend the sphere of Its nctlvlty , the Vlnltlng Ntir.ocs1 association will cry "Ho ! " to everyone that thlrateth next Saturday , and will dispense cafbonnted < lrlnkaata Do.lge street fountain at the hands of a round dozen of charming girls. Some em barrassing mistakes have taken place hereto fore , when soda water was drawn under nlmllar delightful circumstances ; and to avoid discomfiting error , old customers are eoberly advised to have their winks regis tered an early In the week as possible that the young women may not be hampered by a conflict of unfamiliar signals. A report Is current about three of the 7ounger members of focal society who , by the way , promise to bo among the most popular of next season's debutantes that brings to light a quite unliiuo case at "hookey. " Of course It Is admitted that Omaha Is dull durli'R the summer months ; but that three of Its foremost young women should Klve the slip to what gaycty there Is In the way of evening parties and afternoon functions , in favor of a small theater com pany , Is something decidedly new. True It is , however , that when three fond mammas lay drawing mental pictures of their darlings at an evening party , mammas' darlings were at a local playhouse untrammeled - trammeled by party manners and evening gowns and enjoying the situation to an ex tent that would have sent the mammas Into nodal retirement for life had they been so unfortunate as to have appeared on the cene. It Is a pity that the attraction these fair girls have eo well advertised has such a limited tlmo left out of Us extended en gagement In which they may reap the bcue- 1H of It all. VIxltliKT A'tirti'n' l.iiwii Koto. Undoubtedly the largest and most Im portant society event of the summer season was the lawn fete given at the Joslyii place last Tuesday evening for the benefit of the Visiting Nurses' association. The rain which threatened early In the evening did not materialize , and there was nothing to keep away the crowds of people who had been an ticipating the entertainment. The spacious grounds which surround the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Joslyn are naturally adapted to the requirements of an outdoor festival , and have been constantly beautified by the effprts of the owners. The special decorations for this occsalon were arranged under the tifllclcnt supervision of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Charlton. A largo artificial lake , near the center of the grounds , was likewise the center of at traction , for many visitors , for It was there that the much discussed bathing would take place. Aquatic sport of this nature , how ever , did not constitute a very prominent feature of the evening's pleasure. A dancing pavilion stood nearby , whereon visitors and participants In the entertain ment disported themselves , the latter In the various picturesque costumes appropriate to their employment. At the Russian teahouse the cup that cheers but not Inebriates was dispensed by Mrs. Ebell from a samovar. She was isslated by her vivacious little daughter , Alice Olga , and by Mesdamcs Stoccker and Swoboda and a number of children , all In Russian costume. A chorus of men sung college songs and coon melodlra , tmrtsr the direction , of Mr. Herbert Rogers. .The candy booth was managed by Mcsdames "Warren Rogers and Allison , Mla Schrocder and Mies Kasters , and the affairs of the ( lower tent were administered by Mesdamra Sterling , Ogden and Offutt , 'MlMm ' I'eck , Helen Peek and Nolllo Damn. At the dairy maids' booth were Mrs. Kountzc , Mrs. Mer cer and Mlesfs Kountzc , Llonberger , Helen Milliard , Kllpatrlck and Mercer. In the gipsy tent SImo. Tlilcasen told fortunes ; Mesdames Chn o and Victor Caldwcll and Misses Hlg- Klrwon , Wyman. Llndscy , Kelly , Towle and Goldsmith ministered to the various wanta of patrons , The Japanese tea garden , west of the lake , was charmingly attended by ( MeddamcA Martin , Calm , Albert Cahn. Katz , Haas , I'olack and Ilrandcls and Mlesffl Cham bers and I'olack. The general refreshment pavilion was In charge of Mra. Henry T. Clarke , and gumts were waited on by Mes- damea Wilbur , Carter. Rcdlck , 1'oppleton , Rummers , Wheeler end Lyman , and Misses Knight , Taylor , Moore , Alexander , Wessells and Mlllard , The Fort Crook band furnUhcd instrumental music throughout the evening. Messrs. Wilson and Chase acted as floor managers for the dancing and Mr. II. S. Tttann kept the outer gaUs. In the course of tbo entertainment Mr. Joslyn gave a most enjoyable performance with his trained horses. The entire grounds were surrounded l > y a temporary fence of white sheeting , which Is to bo worked up for the use of the poor. The proceeds of the festival amounted to about $300 , { . \KriM-nlili' Siiriirlxi * I'nrly , A very pleasant surprise wiw given to Mies Mary I'eets by the Misses Jennie Post end Katie Swift at Random' hall last Monday ovunlng.

The formal opening of the local Iheatrlcal season Is near at hand , and about both the play houses of Omaha 1 heard the pleasant hum of preparation , Doyd' will be thoroughly renovated from top to bottom tom , In RO far as the limited tlmo now at I the disposal of the management will allow. Two ecn.-xitw of at most only moderate good fortune havp left this pretty theater sftdly In need of repairs , and nothing which c.tn be done In the next two weeks will be. left undone to further the comfort and con. venleneo of the high class of patrons which the entertainment offered them Is expectsd to attract. The scheme of Immediate Im provements doc3 not contemplate' a' new drop rurtaln , much an such a benefit Is to bo de sired ; and the same pcenery with which the local public has bccomo pleasantly familiar | will for the moot part do duty for another season. Dili the cramped and unconifortu- blo seating arrangements , which have In the past caused unrelieved annoyance ' .o theater goers , will bo altered without delay , with a trifling lorn of capacity , but with great gain te > the physical enjoyment of sit ters. Water for drinking will bo pa s61 between the acts , which Id also a new thing at Doyd's. As heretofore announced In The Dee , only the high priced attractions will be played at Doyd's this season. "High priced" Is by no means always synonymous with "beet , " as experienced play goers know ; and there will bo abundance of excellent entertain ment of all the better clawed at both houses. The eye. In glancing over the published list , Is agreeably conscious that no Davis & Keogh shows are Included In It , no Lincoln J. Carter "Tornados , " no Uncle Toninuty ; and those who follow the metropolitan pro duction of new plays will recognize the names of mceU , If not all. of last season' , ! New York sucecwe- ? . Several plays yet to be brought out In the cast will come here later In the season. If they make a favorable Imprcvrolon on trial , and a number of stars. who are about to enter upon prof-acted New York engagements , will surely Include Omaha In their first provincial tour. Among theiso are Sol Smith Russell and Maud Adams , neither of whom Is booking tlmo definitely , pending the outcome of thclv Now York season. Their admirers In Omaha , however , arc reasonably certain to ace thorn before the winter is over. Much might be written In description of the plays and players already actually booked at the two local theaters. It Is believed. however , that mrot , "even of the new plays. are known to Intelligent theater goers who read the newspapers. After a preliminary week , beginning next Sunday , with the vita- scope pictures of the Corbett-Fltzalmniona IUht , Dovd's theater will open Its regular season Monday evening , September 13 , with John Drew In a repertory not yet an nounced. Mr. Drew Is supported this year by Isabclle Irving , Arthur Dyron and an excellent company. The Woodward organiza tion will remain at the Crelshton two weeks longer , and the season will bo formally oQened at that house on Sunday evening September 12 , by the perennial Corlnne , In "An American Beauty.

The business of this company In creases every week. It Is seldom a good seat can be secured after 8 o'clock , and oavoral times each week people are turned away unable to secure admission. This has been the record of the past seven weeks. The company la furnishing good entertain ment , and the specialties alone ore worth the price of admission. As long as the present standard Is maintained , no doubt the houpo will be rilled.
