What Ho! If You Would Skating Go
December 13, 1916.
liohdav affairs are in the air long
with sleigh bells and talk of Santa
Claus and Christinas shopping. The
Junior club is one of the first to
how activity, hor the first time in
its existence this club of young men
has delegated part of its arrange
ments for the Christinas dance to a
committee of their feminine friends.
-1 he decorations will be the usual i
Christinas greens and colors, but a 1
program of special features is being
planned which will be. a deep.' dark
secret until thr- occasion ot the
party.
The committee of women who have
the arrangement in hand includes
Mrs. W. J. Koye, Miss Rcgina C'on
nrll. Miss Harriet Smith and Miss
Daphne Peters. TJie Junior club
dunce on Saturday evening, Decem
ber 23. will be one of the very first
Christmas parties.
Of course, all the young people are
talking of the Vale Glee club af
fairs on December 30. but a few of
them have thought ahead far enough
to plan rather vaguely for a Dutch
treat party, at one of the numerous
attractions offered at the close of
the year. One society matron re
marked, "I think everyone will go
to the hoteU or clubs for New Year's
eve because so many tried home af
fairs last year and found them dull."
If you do not wish to spend New
Year's eve at home you rtiay join the
throng of people who will attend the
New Year tve dinner at the Black
stone, where a buffet dinner a la ruse
("if you know what that is," the girl
said as she told me), will be served
from 10:30 to midnight, with dancing
between courses.
The Omaha club has long had its
form of entertainment for that even
ing planned. There the dancing will
'be postponed until the new-born in
fant year arrives. A concert will
mark the obsequies of the dying vear.
Omaha club members will take advan
tage of this means of spending the
first and last night of the year.
Patrons of the Fontenelle wilt be
entertained at dinner from 10:30 on,
but plans are not yet complete in
regard to the time after 12 o'clock.
Probably dancing in the ball room
y wilt follow dinner.
Mrs. Coutant Coming.
Mrs. C. K. Coutant arrives from
- Chicago the Friday before Christmas
to 'visit Mrs. George Haverstock.
Mr. Haverstock is pfenning a lunch

'"ir planned for Mrs. Coutant ia a

Omaha Whist club members, which
Mrs. I.. C. Gibson, Mrs. William J.
Rroatch and Mrs. A. H. Fuller will
give. Afterwards the women will play
at the Omaha Whist club rooms. It
will be in the -nature. of a reunion,
for Mrs. t'putant was an active mem?,
her of the Whist club when she lived
in Omaha. - The date for this affair
has not yet been set. , ?
