the Karl ) 1'nrt of n Tnlcal
Illitlaii Summer
Bociety turned out very well lost even
ing at the beautiful lawn fete given for
the Joint benefit of the Creche and of the
Visiting Nurses' association. The exposition
nnfl other counter attractions may have kept
eomo away from the leading charity event
of the season nnd a few found the weather
o trlflo cool for outdoor festivities , but these
who did attend found the t > plcal Indian
summer evening admirably suited for danc
ing and for jaunts among the various campj
located about the broad lawn.
The artistic success of the affair was note-
worthy. The spacious grounds surrounding
the residence of 0. M. Hitchcock , at Twen
tieth and Dodge streets , were prettily Il
luminated with hundreds of lanterns of va
rious sizes and between these there were
myriads of snrall Incandescent lamps of
variegated colors. The lanterns and the
tlcctrlc lights were well arranged , the
largest lanterns forming the outer lines and
thb smaller ones being effectively grouped
within. About the lawn were scattered rugs
odd cushions that looked pretty and would
have been Inviting on a warmer evening.
The most prominent part In the decora
tions was formed by the booths themselves.
They were attractively constructed and ar
tistically arranged. The presence of a half
hundred fair > oung society women , ap
pareled In gowns becoming to the vocations
they adopted pro tcmpore , added Immensely
to the attractiveness of the scene. The lied
Cross booth was the first found by the
visitor and hero were dispensed the soft
beverages served In the hospitals. The
booth was presided over by Mrs. Herbeit
Kogers , assisted by Misses Georgia Llndey ,
Delia Chandler nnd O'Urlcn. All were thu
regulation costumes of the hospital nurses ,
The gypsy tent attracted much attention
and within were told many fairy tales and
hazardous guesses as to the future of so
ciety folk were ventured. Mrs. Clement
Cbaso was In charge and was assisted til
dealing out futurities by Misses Alice An-
dreesen , Marie Crounso and Bessie Towlo ,
nU of whom were striking gypsy suits The
Ian booth proved a popular one. It was pre
sided over by Mrs. Drandcls , who with her
aides presented a pretty picture of Japanes (
fan girls , with gonns Imported from Toklo.
The candy booth did a big business. II
was In charge of Mrs. Goldsmith , who wa ;
assisted at the booth by Mrs. Hoeder am :
Miss Bennett , while Margaret Hitchcock
Cnrrlo Goldsmith and Heth Valll peddlei
candy about the grounds. Mrs. Felix Me-
Sliano looked after n very pretty ilowei
bboth , with a grab-bag on the side , am
uas assisted by Mrs. Chlttendcn , Mlsse ,
Louise Mcl'hcrson , Clara Shroeder , Me
Cracken and Clovcrldgc. The dairy bootl
vv'as graced by the presence of these dalr ;
maids : Misses Grctchcn Crounsc , Flor ,
Webster , Anna Shlverlck and Florence Kll
Patrick. Refreshments were nerved in ;
largo tent at the rear of the lawn. This wa
In charge of Mrs. Nee , assisted by Mesdame
Cameron , Jackson , Harrows and Glfford ain
Mlssea Frances Purvis , Caroline I'urvls
Ethel Morse , Louise Emerson Mossci
Blanche Rosewater , Patterson , Lulu Peyck
and Eugenia Campbell.
Tha fete wan opened by a delightful con
rcit rendered by the Oiiipia Musical Unlo
band. After the last number h l bee
concluded n court crlcr with a stout pal
ct lungs called the asbemblago to order an
uuiounccd that Home malefactors had bee
captured on the grounds by private dc
t-ctlves and would bo tried without furthe
c.'reraouy. Thu fairest , In more ways tha
oin , Jury ever cmpannclcd in Dougln
tounty was then secured. Before a doze
beautiful women Hen Wood wao tried an
ctnvlctcd of the charge of spending to
luuth time on the Midway. He was line
CO cents and told to sin no more Samui
C ld\vill was convicted of beating th
Omaha Street Railway company out of
nlcl el and was fined $1 and costs. I )
Bridges pleaded guilty to feeling a youn
woman's pulse and was fined $5 and give
thirty days. I'eto Winston was convlctc
of loaning one of his Midway passes I
nnother man and was lined 30 cents. Tl
mock court was largely attended and ll
proceedings evoked much merriment. Wl !
Itnin Carter presided as judge. G M Hltct
rock acted as prosecuting attorney an
Charles S. Elguttcr appeared in all of U
cases for the defense. Edward Morsmn
was an energetic chief of police.
On the adjournment of the court the lol
MAS of the court bouse were quick ]
cleared by the deputies nnd trade wi
driven to the deserving booths. Uetwec
shopping tours the guests enjoyed danclr
r.n u largo platform covered with eras !
erected in the rear of Mr , Hitchcock
home. For the dancing Kaufman's o
chretra played a program of a dozen plea :
Ins numbers. The success of the fete wi
due to a numerous committee of socle !
women , of which Mrs. Winston was cnal :
man.
The fall opening of the local society hi
never occurred earlier than It has th
year. It has rarely happened along ;
early. In the middle of the first month >
autumn Indoor dances are taking plai
with great frequency , nnd for the nci
future are scheduled many more affairs th
arc ordinarily dcfened until October at
November. In addition to the cordial r
ccptlons given in honor of distinguish !
visitors to the exposition by Mr. and Mt
George W. Llnlnger , the dancing parti
of MUs Kountzu nnd Miss Kcnnard we
notable events on the calendar of the pa
w eek.
It is a gratifying sign to sen that tl
local society has fairly adopted the cak
walk. That form of diversion has been a
vanclng apace for sonic time past , and ti
Midway entertainments have not retard
Us progress into the upper realms. La
season it was the vaudeville that attract
Omaha society folks ; this winter it lee
as though It might be the cake-walk ; wh
the harvest will be In the last year of t
century may bo left to tbo imaglnatlv
Two prominent society men of Dubuqv
la. , are now receiving letters from numcro
Tba Kojal U tlio highest grade baking powder
known. Actual te U how ll goesono-
third further than toy other braid.
Absolutely Pure
friends condoling with them over their re
cent disappointment. They left Dubuquc
about n week ago ostensibly for the cast.
The one said ho was going to leave that
night for Chicago , nnd the other declared
he had to go directly to Boston.
A few days a young woman from Ouhuque
was thoroughly surprised to meet them both
In Omaha. The Joke of the whole matter
Is that they both have a decided penchant
for one of our leading society girls. Their
explanation was that they were hero to visit
the exposition , which was quite plausible
when It was learned that the young woman
in question left for a flying trip cast on
the evening of their arrival here. If the
young men were surprised to meet each
other at the Omaha union depot as they
alighted from different trains , they were
more than surprised when they found that
the fair object of their unintentionally
joint attentions was not hero but In Chi
cago. What they said to the maid who con
veyed this depressing news to them may not
bo printed , but it can be said that they
proceeded to do Just what any two men
in such n dilemma would have done.

The brllllintly lighted parlors of Mr. and
Mrs. Arthur D. Urandels , 2405 St. Mary's
avenue , wqre thrown open to a number of
guests on Thursday evening , the occasion
being an entertainment called "a frost , "
given In honor of the following visitors :
Mrs. William Barnett and MUs Lcyla Edel-
mann , both of Los Angeles ; Mr. L. Tewcles
and Miss Hertha Teweles of Milwaukee ,
and Mr. and Mrs. M. Strassbulgor of New
York.
Some of the guests , anticipating a frozen
atmosphere within , provided themselves
with fur garments. These they found to bo
very superfluous amid the cheer and warmth
of their reception. "Tho frost" was carried
out In u most unique manner. The dining
room disclosed n wintry scene. The windows
dews , mirrors nnd all the glass In the room
were covered with frost. Thb table was a
dream In white decorations and sparkling
crystal. Above it hung evergreens , glisten
ing In the light with the sparkling handi
work of Jack Frost.
On the center of the heavily laden table
was a massive block of Ice , which had been
hollowed out to contain the salad. Frosted
ferns surrounded this and the frosted table
mirror , which ran the length of the table.
At each ulato was the guest's name card ,
cilisted over to resemble snow , and all the
refreshments served were dalntly carried
out in the character of the season.

HOW TO USE THE HUMAN VOICE
Minn Lllllc d'AiiKClo llcrKli Tnlkn to
the Women on the "h In Kins'
Tone In Speech. "
Miss Lllllo d'Angclo Bergh gave a parlor
talk before a good number of women at
the Woman's club rooms yesterday on "Tho
Singing Tone In Speech. " Her own voice
is a striking example of musical quality ,
and she gave the audience a lesson upon
howIt Is produced , showing especially how
much depends upon correct breathing In
speech as well as in singing. "Breathe
slowly , breathe deeply , breathe rhythmic
ally , " said Miss Bergh. "Speak from full
lungs , not empty ones ; keep your magnet
ism. Do not diffuse It nor throw it away in
the panting , hurrying fashion of American
women. The baby uses the scale In his
beautiful cooing voice , but when he is 2 or
3 ycare old ho becomes susceptible to the
Influence of the harsh voices around him ,
though a little cnro on the part of the
parent might save for him his aweet na
tural voice. "
Miss d'Angelo Bergh gav-o some breathing
exercises , which were practiced on the spot
by the audience. These , though very sim
ple , will , the speaker says , expand the chest
and improve the figure , whllo they conserve
good health and a pleasant voice. After the
lecture Miss Matrlna Dlctrlchson , a pu
pil of Miss Bergh's , sang two songs , by
Grclg , accompanied by Miss Josephine
Thatcher. Miss Dletrtchson has a broad ,
full soprano voice , which eho uses artistic
ally.
