Lovely Music, Graceful Waltz- es and Rich Costumes. Notes from Varlous Social Circles, Mingled with a foew Pdlite Porsonalities. THE WEBSTER RECEPTION. The social season has begun un- | usually early, and already two events have taken place which will be chron- jcled as among the most fashionable and elegant ever held in our city. The first of these was the reception last week at “Happy Hollow,” and the second the delightful party jgiven on Thursday evening by the Hon, and Mrs. J. L, Webster at their charming home on Pleasant street. Over four hundred invitations had been issued, and in asticipation of the large gath- ering preparations had been made to use the fine lawn surrounding the res- idence, which was lighted with Chin- oso lanterns, and provided with a large tent, in which re- freshments were to have been served. The rain unfortunately prohibited this art of the intended programme, but ailed to mar the enjoymentof a delightful evening indoors. To many of our citizens this was the first occa- sion offered for inspecting Mr. Web- ster’'s beautiful residence and the unique features of its interior ar- rangement and decoration were much admired. The cntire first floor is Ryzantine in design and finish, the halls, parlorsand library being divded off by handsome arches, sup) rted on columns finished in black with bronzed capitals, thus permitting the freest ingress and egress without destroying that air of seclusion which is so essential to every well ordered home. The effect of the lights reflected from the arched doorways and glistening on_the rain- bow colored toilets of the ladies was very striking. In tho recces of the rear parlor Hoffmann's . orchestra was stationed and discoursed beauti- ful music, and from the opening Lan- ciers at 9 o'clock untid the closing waltz, dancing in the three rooms was only interrupted by the serving of re- freshments, The presence of such a large number of Omaha’s representa- tive citizens rendered the evening highly enjoyable to those who did not dance, while here and there a quict nook afforded an opportunity in which to breathe sentiment, and com- pleted a picture of social pleasures Dleasing to look upon and very enjoy- able to those who participated. After partaking of an elegant and tempting supper, dancing was resum- ed, and the company broke up at a late hour with many complimentary expressions regarding a host and hostess who are adepts in the art of entertaining, and whose guests always enjoy their visits in consequence. ‘Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Herman kuuntze, W. A, Pax- ton and wife, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Adams, Mr, and Mrs. Milton T. Bar- low, General and Mrs. Manderson, Dr. and Mrs. Peabody, Judge and Mrs. Wakeley, General and Mrs. Thomas Wilson, Major and Mrs. Furey, Col. and Mrs. Chase, Ww. J.
