i SOCIAL AND PERSONAL) f
Dear Eleanor:
I returned to Omaha just in time to
accept an invitation to the Ak-Sar-Ben
ball, and I donned a yellow Bilk dress
that was much admired in Old Point
Comfort, and went out to the old Coli
seum barn, metamorphosed into a great
ball room, to salaam before May Dundy
and Mr. Yost. The qu:en was really
queenly. What is the use of my telling
you what she wore? All of the news
papers have had columns of inspiring
particulars about what Mrs. So-and So
"had on,'' and I will not bore you with
any 'more dress making memoranda.
Miss Dundy was undoubtedly selected
for her face and form and, well her ap
pearance in general, and I think it is a
pity all kings are not so conservative
aa was King Casper. The queen was
f ir and stately, and there was scarcely
more than the usual amount of grumb
ling among the ladies in waiting. The
king is a tine gentleman, tho' I think he
looks mora like Gen. Gilrlory in the
"Mighty Dollar" or Mr. Crane's "Sena
tor" than like a king. But you can't
always tell. The Prince of Wales looks
'ike a well groomed Chicago pork
packer, aud King Alexandria of Servia
reminds me of an anarch st or a divinity
student. Mr. Yost has lovely whiskers
on his chin and he moved about in that
one-block-an-hour manner that imita
tion kings always affect.
Mr. Blank, whose invitation I ac
cepted, and whom I must sincerely re
spect, for I am told it cost each one of
the Omaha young men who attended
the ball accompanied by a lady from
20 to $25. said he thought I would
hardly care to dance, as he noticed
there were a number of uncertain
people present from South Omaha,
Wahoo and Liincoln. you know Omaha
people still like to rub it in on Lincoln;
but I told him I guessed I could stand
it as it seemed to me Omaha society
people were greatly in the majority on
the floor and I danced. Of course
there were several hundred people on
the canvas, but the ball was really se
lect and I think the people who man
aged it must have used a good deal of
tact.
A number of the sedate class here in
Omaha preferred to occupy seats in the
spectator's gallery, and it is true that it
was the younger set that was most
largely represented. I think the most
beautiful sight I ever beheld was Clem
Chase in his Ak-Sar-Ben costume in
which he appeared in the early part of
the evening. He waa entirely in white
with the exception of shiny top boots,
and he was too lovely for anything. I
heard one young man from Nebraska
City ask an Omaha girl if that was "the
man who owned the show," pointing to
Clem who was pacing the floor with
measured tread. A good many of the
girls here had their dances pretty well
taken before they arrived at the ball,
but you will no doubt be pleased to
hear that the Lincoln girls rather more
than held their own. Miss Grace Oak
ley and Miss Burnham. the official rep
resentatives from your town, were
largely sought after. Miss Oakley is
quite well known here, and she is es
teemed as a very pretty girl, but Miss
Burnham is a comparative stranger I
understand 6he is just from school. A
great many men were anxious to meet
her, and I am sure she had a good
time. She is strikingly pretty, I think.
Mrs. Walter B. Hargreaves. Dr. and
Mrs. Righter and Miss Alice Righter
made up a happy family party. Other
Lincoln people that I noticed were:
Miss Ella Raymond, Will Raymond, Mr.
Mallalieu, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Brow n
Miss Marshall, Mr. W. M. Smith, Mr.
Mason, Mr. Beeson, Mrs. Frank W.
Smith and Mrs. Marshall.
The ball was a success. Everybody
went to see and be seen. Dancing was
impossible, but that was a small
matter. Your friend,
Penelope.
