THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 1876—SIXTEEN PAGE: " SOCIAL EVENTS. Grand Ball for the YWoman’s Hospital. The prominent Receptions and Par- ties During the Week. (Centennial Celcbrations --- Amuse« ments Among the Charch Folks, The Wedding-Calendar—-A Silver Celebration—Unions of the - Future, The Dancing Done by the Maids and Matrons of the City. PARTIES AND RECEPTIONS. THE WEATHER. 1t was 8 SOPpy, MOPPy, ElopPT, rain-dropping week. Tbe skies seemed to have taken affront at the assurance with which society mortals de- termined mpon their unusunally numerous enter- tsioments, and in sheer spiteset out to spoil them. Never during the season had 8o msny bshels of artistically cograved and neatly ad- dressed jpvitation cards been sown broadcast over the social field. and pever had so many hearts beat high with che flutter of anticipation. Bright eyes besmed more brightly, and rosy cheekatwera etill more flushed with the thonghts ©f conquests to come. As to the young men, what visions of happy embracings and tender pressure of hands in the waltz flosted sthwart Toe day-book and the ledger, effectualiy obscar- jog the dry columns of figures that required add- ingup! ook And these hopes and saticipations were more or less realized,—certainly they wera not inter- {ared with seriopsly by tho weazher. It is possi- e that the Miss who founded her- theory of tciumph upon tae supposition that her Sacrif- eis] Offering would bo present was disappointed by bis non-attendance. Itis also mot unlikely that, vice verss, the Society Young Mav missed ‘his Adorsble from the crowded assembly, and “Dresthed & ilent anthem against the rain which hed kept ber at home. These people never bave any sympathy with the over-bardened clouds or the thirsty earth. If tbe glossy boot should re- ceive nponits fairsurface s single smirch of mud, or the delicate-tinted gkirt a spot to mar 1its natchiess svmmetry, what wailings would arise from the agonized sonl,—let us hope without audible expression! Under such circumstances propriety demands & poverty of lsngnage. Some kinds of parties are {air subjects for criticism. For mstancs, bails, particalarly those which are held in public resorts. The people who froquent them represent all grades of soci- ety, often producing the oddest mixtare imag- nable. The presence of two or three bigh-toned (what » eills word, and yet how expressive!) people, though frequently relied upon to do 80, Hoes uot really make the affar fashionable. So- ciety differs {rom almost every other compound, in that s little leaven does not snd cannot by any possibility leaven the whole lump. I i Dot pecessary just hero to make any applicstion of these remarks, becanse some people will fancy themselvea very much injured. 1t is ot generally copsidered = difficall feat of composition to write au 1nvitation. nor 18 it or- diparily. But there are epochs waich the social entbusiast revolts from treating as common. Herises oo ghe spur of glorious premonition, 10d bends his genius to the task of compozin an invitation which shall in a measure correspo with his own powerful emotion. An instance may be cited: The committee of & ceitain clob sopounce in the invitation * We are anticipant of 5o brilliant a gatbering as will astonish even Momus, the masging-monarch's self,” and, 8s if 1bat were not sufficient punishment for the inof- fensive English toncue, ther sign toemselves “Yoors, mimetically.” - , this is s sad case tf lingual aberration. THE COMING CHARITY BALL. It has sometimes been =sked why are there pever at the West euch charity balls &g occasion- ally agitate anentire city East? Nowand then we hear of & calico, masquerade, or full-drees ball given in New York for some charity, which sets the whole eocial element of even that greatest American city ina fiutter and commo- tion. All the varions circles which ordioarily tonch only ateome points of their several circum- ferences seem 1o dissolve into one,which inclodes almost every person in goud society in the city. This question appears about to be answered by the mving here in Chicago of such o party ; one that for magpitude and magnificence shall equal anytbing of the kind ever piven in New York, snd which _eball sarpaes anything ever yet seen in Chicago, The coming party is to be given for the pepefit f the Woman's Hoepital of the State of Lilnois. Certsinly a more deserving object conld not be fesired, and, a8 this wnstitution is wholly un- sectarian, there is nothing to prevent its in- leresting the entire community. The Hospital was organized and chartered immediately pefore tha great fire, when many of those who would have been its supporters found themseives wholly unsble to do mote thao aford moral aid and enconragement. The Relief and Aid Socie- ty, which subsequently eo liberally encowed all the other charitable institutions of the city, re- fased to sid this one on the ground that it was not in actual operstion at the time of the fire; 10d hence it has been obhized to depend for ite support wholly upon voluntary contnbutions,—a most precarions resource. Owing to the limited means at 1ts disposal. its operations in the great field of charity have been equally circum-onbed. Being the only hspital in the State devoted ex- clnsively to the peculiar diseases of women,— » large and constantlv-increasing class,—the applications for 1ts benefits are fraquently more numerons tban can be entertained. Inasmuch &8 the institution 18 fonnded upon the broadest and most liberal principles, recogmizing in it field of work neither nationality, race, nor re- Iigious creed, it appeals powerfully for the aid 00 the sympathies of all classes. The character and poeition of the ladies who ave 8o faithfully worked for the Hospital in the past, and who now have charge of this prospec- tiveentertainment, is sufiicient guarantee that none will be disappointed in it. It is tbeir de- gire and intention to spare no effort to make the Party a great success in all Tespects. There ba the most ample and pleasant ac- commodatione, with a large bacd of the best music the city can offer, for all who desire to dance, and thers will also be no lackof varied paclor eutertamments for ruch as are not inter- ested in the dancing. The guests will be re- ceived by a special reception committes of four g:n, in the elegant parlors of the Grand Pa- While the Hospitsl is in tho most urgent need of funds to ligmdate indebtedness and to ecable itto eularge its capacities and charities, the la- gies 1n offering this entertaioment do not feel that thoy are ssking s gift from porsons who purchase tickets, 28 they intend that evers one 30 doiog shall receive the fcll value of its price. Tt is to be hoped that Chicago will show what 2he cas do ou this occasion. -4 MARTHA WARBHINGTON BECEPTION. One of tho social events of the weok was tha large centenniel party given by theladies of the West Bide Universalist Society at McCormick's Hall Thuraday evening.

Half 8 han- dred sober citizens releasad from sombre black, and masquerading in gold-laced swallow-tails of Breen and blue and scarlet velvet, vast expaned of satin waistcost, fowiog white pernkes, slim knee-breeches, and gorgeous;buckles, formed a eingular sight, and showed how much ‘mascuiine dress had lost of the J)ictnranquo since its wear- ers ceased to be gentlemen at court.

Tne **Tempest” and tue * Crooked B’ dances, well knowa to our sires, were stepped off according to the courtly potions of these ancien:s, after which their many guests were invited to ehare the floor with them, and the line between the centuries faded.

Desring to procure a really firat-class felt and gravel roof, 1 inquired of my friends, smony whom I might mention C. H. & L. J. McCor- mick. the Singer & Talcott Stons Compaay, T. V Wadskier. and many othera, and they unsai: mously referred me to the Chicago Roofing Comoany, at No. 193 South LaSalle street, wha they said had done work for them to their entire A citizon of Chicago, well known for his | satiafaction. culture and wealth, has just completed one of the most elegant and striking resideaces in this ¢r any other American city.

TOE ARCHITECT. Determiniog at the very ousaet that my house should be perfectly plauned and thoroughly built, I eelected the prominent architect of Chi- cago, Mr. C. P. Thomas, to prepare the de- signs and superiatend the work of buidiug. His efforts in my caso have been well worthy of hia brilliant reputation. The dezign of the house, the arrangement of its interior, and the uniform excellence of its constraction, are themes of un- qualificd pleasure to my family, my friends. and myself. It1s hardly necssaary for me to refer to Mr. Thomas’ eminence as an architect, for that is = matterof general fame, Icinnothelp, however, bearing individaal testimony to his gewus, his courtesw, bis business energy. and his wvariablo fair-dealing. His reputationasa master of the classio aud other standard models is a8 wide-apread 83 1t is most justly merited. THE STONE-WOEK. After a thorough investizauon I decided to employ the_services of Meusra. Boldenweck & Heuone, of Nos. 11 to 23 East ‘Lyler street, aod the result has proved the wisdom of my 'judg- ment. Thess gentlemen bring aa intelligence and energy to bear in their business whichis the best assurance of success. They furnished all the stcne needed for building purposes through- out, dressed and cut as wanted, according to the designs of the architect. The stone-cutting is doue in an artistic manner. with the most care- fol attention to details. This firm did thestone- work for maoy of onr most elegaut city resi- dences, among which are those of Perrv H. Smith and U. P. Smith, in arstocratic Aldine Square, and for the besutiful Duulap buildings and others among the finest residence blocks in the city. | take plessure in recommending the secvices of Messes Boldenweck & Henne to all who are about to build. WOOD-WOBK AND STATR-BUILDING. The interior finish of myhouse has been greatly admired, and I think with good resson, for I waa very particnlar that it should be done in the best possible mauuer. The result was more than satisfactory. Not only are the woods of the choicest varieties, but tne best of their kind, and finished in the most artistic manoer. After what I have eaid, it is hardly neceesary to add that the wood-work, the stair-bmiding, the architraves of the doora and windoxs, etc., was done by Mr. J. Tomhnson, for that gentleman's superiority in work of this kind is well known by Chicago archutects and_buildera. My attention was first called to Mr. Tomlinson by an exami- pation of the two fine houses of E. C. and W. C. Larned, corner of Rusb and Ohio streets, the stairs of which have such an easy. graceful as- cent that 1t ia & pleasure to walk up them ; also the elegant row of twenty-fiva houses opposite Unton Park, to all of which Mr. T. faroished the stairs and did wood-work. Alr. Tomlinzon's place of business, northeast corner of Fraoklin and Congress streets, is extensive and well ar- ranged. MARDWARE, BELLS, ETC. Theresmo festare in my hoasein which I fecl greator sausfaction snd secarity than in the locks, belis, Bpeaking-tubes, snd bardware generally, which I have used' in the construc- tiou, Tnis 18 because I employed a gentleman to do that branch of work who makes a specialty of it:rnng ‘has ail the facilities for doing it well, Mr. J. F. a manafacturer, jobber, and retailer in locks, bells, brooze goads, and everything pertaining to builder's hardware. I¢is the depot for lock- emiths and bell-bangers’ sopplies. He pat in an electric BOnUOCIAtor counectiog Wit front doors and thevarious apartments on the firat and second floors, placing the instrument in 8 handsome walout case in the kitchen. In adcigion, ha put in_a call-bell, located in the stable, and_a burglar-alara protectiog sll the windows and _outside doors. The bell, & very handeome silver-plated one, is located in our sleeping-room on the first floor. There are also spesking-tubes in the mein chambers and hatls leading to the kitchen, My locks and other bardware trimmings furnisned by Mr. Woliensak I em satisfied are much better aud chospor than L couid have obtawned from any other hardwaro firm. 1mast not forzet to men- tion the patent transom-hiter and lock which be placed npon il my transoma. ‘This device is not only a conveniencs but & great conservator of comfort and bealth. ir. Wollensak is the io- ventor, and he has a fortune in the ingenions littls contrivaace. He recently put them on the Palace Hotel, San Francisco. I have double Teason to congratulate myself in emoloying the gervices of thia gentleman for the performance of this branch of my work,—first, because it is well done, and ianot continaally getting out of order, sud, second, because I have made a great saving by having it all aode at oae plsce and by one who is cempetent. I kpow by what 1 have geen othars pay, that if 1 had purchased my hardware at & regalar hardware stora the whole would have cost me neatly double as much as I bad to pay, and would not have been half &s well done. TIE PLASTYRING. 1 have had the plastering throughout the whole house done by E. Smith, of Nus. 184 and 185 Stato street, and formerly Smith & Eastman. The plain plastering is firm, smoath, and hard, whila the centre pieces oo the ceilings, cnd the cornices and moldings in all the different rooms, are a8 graceful in design and 28 sharply definod a8 though cat in marble by the most experienced of senlptors. Speaking of marble reminds me of tha specimens of marble duplication done m plaster by this expert artist and his talented corps of assistacts. The imitation of the color, texture, and veining of Italian, American, Flor- entive, and other marbles is sumply perfect. Examples of Mr. Smith's bandicraft are to be found all over Chicago. The fino work in plain and fancy plasteriog in the Tremont, Palmer, Ciifton, and Matteson Houses, Chamber of Com- merce, and hundreds of elegant private resi- dences, was done by him. He does & general business in everything connected with the plas- tering trade, and contracts made with bim are always carried out to the complete satisfaction of his patroos. THE PAINTING AND FRESCOING. hen 1t is noderatood that I dotermined the plain and decorative painting in my house ghould be as complete ns refined judgment and superior artistic genius could make it, I suppose it is well-igh superfluous for me to add that I selected Almint & Co. to do the work. He iz the master of choice fresco work in the West, and ia above and beyond competition. Just now, assisted by his gifted stafl of artiats, he is frescoiog the grand dining-salon of the Pacific Hotel ioa manner which will make the place, when finished, the noblest ez- smple of fresco art to be found in all America, The force of designers, artists, and general workmen employed by Mr. Almini is conceded $o be the most talented in the country. Nothiog but the most superb of work is aver produced by them, For the refined and beautiful decoration of public edifices or private homes, one has but to summon ini. DECORATED WINDOWE. These form a very important featurs in the ornsmentation of the establisbment, and {friends and visitors are enchanted with their ar- tistic and beautiful effect, while to me thoy ara » source of continual pleasure. The work was dona by the suparb French pro- cesa of diaphanie. In'effect it briogs out all the delicacy of design, richnesa and variety of color, and luminous glow which characterize the rarest specimens of stainea glasa in the pelaces of the O1d World, and which 1 have foned after thoroagh examination cannot be produced atany price by the regulax process in this country.
