Tho opening of the Country club a long
deferred but nonetheless sweet consumma
tionwas realized last night and during
Saturday afternoon, with all tho delight
f. I Informality which Is the proper attribute
of the country and tho pomp and ceremony
.hlch cling to doings of tho town. Few
western cities can boast of a brighter or
l ore perfectly equipped club houae, a model
ot good taste and coolness evolved as If
by the tap of tho wand. Only thrco days
iSO the polished floor was a litter of Bhav
lugs and workmen wero busily putting tho
finishing touches on tho interior woodwork.
Vondors were wrought, however, by tho
women and men Intent on tho success of
tho occasion yesterday and order camo forth
(torn chaos.
Tho opening festivities began with a
handicap tourney In tho afternoon, thirty
live golfers appearing on tho greens. Tho
ncores, as given in tho sporting columns,
icfloctcd unlimited credit on tho patience
and skill of tho participants. Many of tho
players were veterans who had known and
loved tho gamo In days gone by and others
woro tasting for tho llrst time tho sweets
nnd bitters of tho fascinating sport.
When the players came In, exhausted but
triumphant, or downcast, as the case may
he, they encountered a host of fair women,
undor whoso conduct was tho reception of
tho afternoon from 4 to 6. About 160 were
entertained during tho two hours, many of
tho members and their friends preferring
to mako tho Initial visit in tho afternoon,
whon all tho beauties of tho placo might
lie vlslblo for unstinted Inspection. Tho
Interior furnishings wcro not disarranged
for dancing, as In tho evening, and tho
effect was BUlllclcntly gratifying to thoBo
who spent their tlmo nnd money In Us pro
duction. Tho formal reception and ball wcro ten
dered In tho evening from 8 until 11 nnd
about 300 guests wcro received. The gowns
wcro tho nlry, Hlmy, frivolous, summer cro
atlons In which women aro ablo to happily
combine coolness und artlstlo effect. Tho
dncoratlonB wore appropriately chosen from
Held flowers, with nasturtiums, sweet peas
and holllhocks also well In evidence Tho
color tints of tho wbIIb and walnscoatlng
scarcely needed enhancement, tho shades
bring blended without a falso note. Tho
lolor sebcino was of ollvo green nnd deep
orange, tho later showing terra cotta In tho
artificial light.
When tho guests alighted they were re
ceived by tho directors and their wives,
thoso In tho party being Mr. nnd Mrs. Ar
thur Oulou, Mr. and Mrs. 0. W. Wattles,
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kountze and Mr. and

In recolvlng by a numbor of young women,
among whom were: Tho Misses Allen,
Mount, McShanc, Thomas, Mooro and Doano.
Punch waa served In a dainty nook under
tho hugo old fireplace by Miss Orcutt, MIsb
Taylor and Miss Webster.
Tho floor wns cleared for dancing and an
orchestra, conveniently seated on tho ver
nnda, gave tho music for waltz and two
step. It Is probablo that dances will bo
held during the summer on Saturday oven
Ings, though of a less formal character than
the affair of last night.
lA group of college boys Just homo for
the summer had gotten away from tho
crowd to u placo where they could nmoke.
Thoy wcro mostly second and third-year men
nnd a senior or two. Tho music and the
dance wero JiiRt beyond tho heavy tapestry
curtain, but the young men only felt a lan
guid Interest. They wero fresh from Junior
hops and sophomore cotillions and, besides,
tho crowd had changed In a couplo of years
lmoet beyond recognition. So the collego
mon smoked und rent-wed the friendships
of their prep days.

Picnics will be the order of the day In
Omaha tho Fourth of July. Tho Board of
Park Commissioners has granted twenty
four picnic parties permission to use differ
ent parks. Small parties do not ordinarily

ing ground reserved for Them and of secur
ing accommodations that cannot be had
without notifying tho superintendent ot
parks lu advance. Tho Woodmen of thu
World will hnvo tho largest celebration of
the day nt Rlvervlow, but there will be a
dozen other parties In that park and Sunday
schools, church organizations and lodget
havo arranged for picnics In all the other
city pnrks.
The ceremonies suggested for the Fourth
of July In connection with tho opening of
tho new Sixteenth street viaduct havo been

terested In tho viaduct will bo In Kansas
City on that day and It Is probable that no
formal exercises will bo held In connection
with the opening. Although tho street ca's
may be ablo to run ovor the new viaduct
July 4, It Is not likely that teams and foot
passengers will bo permitted on tho struc
ture beforo July 10 on account of the condi
tion of tho paving at tho south end. Work
men aro laying concrete for tho new paving
and the asphalt will not be laid and In sliapo
