W -&iw ifl m Despite the manifestation of heaven's wrath which last week drowned the festive veterans on the fair ground?, like Hamelin rats in the River Weser, there is a brisk organization of parties to observe fair week. In fact, every fa cility which the heightening trees and lengthening streets afford, is so vigor ously utilizsd by enterprising merry makere, that one feels almost a personal Iobh when the great torn arms of shade trees, fallen in Tuesday's freakish rind, litter the streets. Even the sand caves on the penitentiary slope furnish cool picnic caverns and the band concert on the square becomes a mid-au turner ren dezvous. It was here that one of the pleasanteBt little porch parties of the season was given last Fiiday in unique style by Wo original young hosts. A most congenial company was entertained by Mesprs. Joyce and Stoner, on the upper veranda of the Lincoln, where t&oy listened to the open air music for an hour, and then went down stairs to the cool dining rooms, and afterward listened to Beveral songs by Miss Gay lord and Mr. Thatcher. A very beautiful home wedding, with as little display as possible, was that of Mr. Herbert Delano Draper of Toledo, Ohio, and Miss Laura Belle Flake, well known in this city At high noon on Wednesday, the home of the bride's parents was a cool bower of green, set with palms and fragrant with roses and carnations in delicate pink and white. Two dainty little maids, the Mis:es Helen and Marian Hall, held the pink and white ribbons from the stairway. Reverend Eason officiated, U6ing the ring service. After the ceremony, re freshments were served, the color scheme being observed throughout, both at the punch table where Misses Ethel Hooper and Pauline Ziemer presided, and in the dining room where tinted ires were served by Misses May and Margaret Honeywell, Margie Loomis and Rose Foster. The gueste. all in timate fripnds of the bride, were: Mes srs. and Mesdames L. B. Kimsey, H.J. Hall, Arthur O. Z.emer, Edgar Wester velt, Don Cameron, George O. Smith, Honeywell, and G. W. Kenney of Kan sas City, Doctor and Mrs. Francis N. Gibson; Mesdames J. K. Painter, Clara MacMillan and Grueinger; Messrs. L. P. Harper, and George O. Smith Jr; Misses Brew, Ella Harper, Pauline Zie mer, Hazel Cameron, May Honeywell, Florence Smith, Ethel Hooper, Margie Loomis, Rose Foster, Joy Webster and Grace MacMillan. The dozen young ladies of the com pany strenuously contested the efforts to ensure a quiet bridal journey, which is to extend by way of the Great Lakes and end at 858 West Woodruff avenue, Toledo, Ohio, about September the fifth. Gowned in piuk, white and blue, the girl party boarded the Fourteenth street car in triumphal procession, with long garlands of green which, re inforced by handfuls of rice, were used to booibard the 2:10 Rok Island flyer, until the conductor barricaded doors and windows, and retreated in a shower directed at his own head. It was the merry close of -s merry week for this twelve. Miss Ethel Hooper began the pre-nuptial festivities with a porch party on Thursday of last week. In a lively game of musical terms, the prize waB won by Mrs. Kenney of Kan sas City, while booby honors were be stowed upon the groom whose presence was an unusual pleasure of the week's festivities. The guests at this enter tainment were: Misses Fiske, Lemon of Omaha, Harper, Margie Loomis, Paul ine Ziemer, Grace MacMillan, Joy Web ster, Rose Foster, May Honeywell, Mar garet Honeywell and Mrs. Kenney. On Saturday afternoon, Miss Ella Harper give a carnation breakfast to the same party, with the addition of Miss Mabel Atkins of Wichita, Kansas. The colors were used here and in the luncheon and linen shower given on Monday at eleven o'clock by the Misees Honeywell. The table decorations for this seven course luncheon were exquisite roses and ferns, and the "shower" a veritable one. Unique dinner cards, girte' headp in green, will long be a reminder of this one of many delightful days. Mr. and Mrs. Ford, the latter an ideal club woman and one of the founders of the Omaha club, are soon to leave Omaha for a. residence in Philadelphia. The Woman's Weekly contains a sin cere tribute to her services to Omtha and club women in general, a part of which is reprinted here: "The club spirit was abroad in the land, seven years ago, and as someone remarked in the Directory the other day, if Mrs. Ford had not called that first meeting in Lininger's gallery, a club would have been formed very Boon. That is true, but she did call it and this club, with its broad and ample foundations was instituted if some other woman had called that meeting, perhaps we should have had another sort of a club, which might not have suited us so well. For several years, Mrs. Ford has done her best club work in the music department, and she will be most sorely missed by that large element in the club, and small one in the city. Omaha has never yet reached any respectable height in mu6ic a I the greater honor to the few who have ever been faithful; and Mrs. Ford is among the most loyal, zaalous and un tiring. When a mind built with windows' in all directions, unbiased and clear sight ed, with words of cheer and good-will for all sorts of struggles and aspiratons from a woman with a newspaper, to a young girl with a fatherless babe, or a child consumed with a desire for mueic without a dollar or a friend with a public spirit most uncommon to her sex, it is indeed no trifling nor light event for the club and the city that Mrs. Ford will no longer be a part of their life and movement. This sketch, which is only an opinion, is of necessity silent regarding a part of this woman's life where she is probably best appreciated of all in the Fin-t Congregational church. Those who work with her there, must, rejoice that another church, people and club in an other bection will welcome and appre ciate Mrs. Ford as we have done in Omaha. Mr. and Mrs. Ford expect to reside in Philadelphia, where we wish them happiness and prosperity for a thousand years and a year." The farewell reception given Mrs. S. C. O, Upton on Monday afternoon at the borne of Mrs. Angie F. New man, represented the Women's Chris tian Temperance Unions of the city. The cordial greetings and earnest fire- Y t - I
