A Happy New Year's Thought
is This
THAT hundreds of Omaha people during 1917, and
in the years beyond, will enjoy in the Blackstone
many a golden hour.
For there is no building in all this city which combines, iri such a distinctive
manner, so many advantages for parties of pleasure makers.
The eighth floor of this beautiful building has already become "The In
door Playground of Omaha's Best People," and the reason for this will
become quickly apparent to those who visit this fairyland with its chic
reception room, its classic ball room, its beautifully appointed lounge and
party rooms, and its delighftul' winter garden, together with its service
kitchen and other equipage for the convenience and comfort of both those
who dispense and those who receive hospitality beneath our roof. And the
Blackstone dining room even now the Blackstone's delectable cuisine
has won for itself wide fame by reason of its excellence and because of
attractive service.
In other words, the Blackstone offers a setting, par excellence, for any
variety of the higher type of entertainment.
Popular amorw the acrai-private rntntainir.enU to be staged at the Blaek.tone thia
winter will be a aeriea of Saturday n'Sht dinner dances, at 12.00 per plate, which will
readilr adapt themaelTes to parties ot from six to eight or a doien eooplea who with
to have their tables together.
The firit of this series will commence at 7 p. m. on Saturday. January 6th.
All who wish to attend should make reserrations early to insure desirable locations
and other arrangements. This may be done by telephoning
