It was a grent crush, and gowns and
chnpeax were In danger of extermination,
but It was worth waiting a half hour in
the crowded and suffocating corridor of
the state house, in order to witness the
brilliant scene In the rotunda, where the
reception for Mr. D. E. Thompson was
given Thursday night. The myriads of
electric lights gleaming amid oriental
draperies, thousands of roses and carna
tions, and a forest of green, brought out
in a strong light the beautiful costumes
worn by the receiving and assisting
ladles.
Mrs. Thompson was regal In a gown
of renaissance lace over pink, nnd dia

line to greet and congratulate the guest
of honor.
A progressive dinner was given Tues
day evening by Mrs. Jeannette Reh
laender in honor of Miss Jennie Gertrude
Bell and Mr. Frank Ringer. Four tables
accommodated the guests and eight
courses were served. The drawing room
was decorated with white carnations.
The dining room was in red, with red
candles and shades, and red carnations.
A red floral bell was suspended over the
table in the dining room, and from the
chandelier in the drawing room hung a
miniature wringer. The place cards for
the ladies were white, adorned with four
leaved clover in gilt; those for the men
were blue, with red roses. Covers were
laid for Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hurd, Mr.
and Mrs. E. P. Hovey, Doctor and Mrs.
H. Finley Helms, Mrs. Rehlaender,

Leese; Messieurs Ringer, Howland,
Painter, Cullen, Ward, Brooks, Fpltz,
Stevens, and Doctor Bolton. ,
In honor of her daughter Katharine,
Mrs. S. H. Atwood entertained forty
children this afternoon. A pink color
scheme was carried out. Games were
played, and the little folks scrambled
for favors, which tumbled from a pink
tarleton bag when the ribbons were
drawn to release them. A birthday cake
containing a ring, a coin and a thimble,
was the centre of attraction at the two
course supper which was served. Guests
from Plattsmouth, the old home of the
Atwoods, were Hallle and Pollock Par
melee, David Gould, Helen Clark, Mil
dred Cummins, and Katharine Dovey.
Prayerbooks promise gradually to sup
plant flowers In society's favor at wed
dings, and bridesmaids are carrying
them nowadays Instead of bouquets.
Probably this is because the bouquets
last for a short time and the prayer
books serve as more enduring remem
brances of the bride, who usually be
stows them upon her attendants. The
bridesmaids at the marriage of Miss
Edith R. Gray, daughter of Justice John
Clinton Gray, of the New York court of
appeals, to Mr. Robert S. R. HItt carried
small Ivory prayerbooks, with mono
grams In silver.
Mrs. John B. Wright gave a pretty
children's party yesterday afternoon to
celebrate the sixth birthday anniversary
of her son John Charles. There were fif
teen little guests, and at five o'clock
they were seated at a pink and white
laid table for supper. The table was
decorated with pink roses, the lace cen
tre piece and dollies were lined with
pink, and the birthday cake had pink
candles.
Speaking of fads in entertaining, a New
York paper tells of one which while de
lightful Is not likely to become generally
popular. A certain Mrs. Henry Blank
Is giving a series of luncheons at which
some superb souvenirs have been pre
sented. Just recently Miss Blank, as the
guest-of-honor, received a card case, or
namented by a coronet of diamonds,
which may be detached and used as "a
brooch. The other guests were also
presented with Jeweled souvenirs.

nowadays, much like a cabinet, sofa,
chair, or table. There is no question
whether the mistress of the home or any
member of her family can play on it
it is simply in evidence in many cases
as part of a decorative scheme. Mrs.
William K. Vanderbllt, Jr., has a beau
tiful gold harp In her drawing-room, and
Mrs. George T. Bliss has an antique harp
in hers which cost in the neighborhood
of $5,000.
On Tuesday afternoon a pleasant six
hand euchre was given by Mrs. Jasper
Le Grand Kellogg. Six tables were sur
rounded by enthusiastic players. The
house was adorned with meteor roses
and each guest received a carnation as
a souvenir. After cards a delicious lunch
eon was served by Misses RIsser, Butler,

prizes, but Mrs. Myron Wheeler had the
highest score.
