THE WEEK 1N 0MAIA SOCIETY Display of AERRIMENT IN EBALL ROOMS The Metropolitan and Byperion Clubs 1 Partics and Coffees Art, Perse Gossip and Wedding Etiguette, Philadelphia Times: Excey taken in high q to the statement in last Sunda that wedding vitations do not require an answer certainly do not an answor rul swered. But the generally under tion n They require and as a general thing arc not an ¢ exceptions, It is tood that an invitation to a church wedding does not any acknowledgment, though many con tend that it is only optional, and though the person invited is free to take no no- tice of the invitation it is as well to do so and more polite. As a matter of fact, the number of people who acknowledge invi- tations to church weddings is exceedingly small. It is stoutly contended, however, and with much force, that _invitations to a wedding at_home should be acknowl edged and either accepted or declined, for the reason t on such oceasions some sort of entertainment is always vrovided and itis necessary to know how many to provide for, espeeially when the number of invited guests is likely to be large. Yet therefare many who think that invitations simply to a wodding cer- Ny in the daytime, when there is no regudar reception, do not demand a formal acknowledgment. It is, of course, Letter etiquette on such occasions to send wd. he whole difficulty about wedding eti- quet and the difterence of opinion’ th ©X1s18 on so many points is the result of alse and loose methods and the hol ockeries and shams into which ve been drifting for several y Weddings, which ‘were once the most charmingz, as well as the most beau tiful of sociul events, ncidental to the home life, have been allowed to become to a great extent mere speetacles for the exhibition of vanity, The bride commis sions someone to look after her dresses, the bridegroom appoints some one to hire carriages, employ clergymen, ete., and the bride’s family put the whole ar- rangement of the house, the church, tke feast, ete, in the hands of some caterer or decorator, The getting up of the in- vitations 1s given to an expert in such matters in some shop, and very often the invitations are sent out wholesale by some onc who is employed for the pur- People invited go or not, as they inclined, and go to shops anc o presents sent’ in the most serfunctory way, o that the bride is as ikely as not to get twenty vases, ora do: mps, or fitty spoons of different patterns. Wlere presents are sent they should, if possible, be sent early, so asto give the bride-elect vlenty of time to tloknowledge them; and if worth sending at all they deserve that some time and care should be given to their selection 1 a common thing to hear brides say that of all their wedding presents they appreciate and value most the few appro- printe and often mexpensiye things tiat come from their intimate friends. It should not be forgotten that a wedding is the first, choicest, and most important of all social incidents, and that an invita- tion to one is one of the greatest comp! ments that can be conferred. lnyitations 10 balls dinners and parties may be per functory and meaningless, -but almost withouf exception it i5 only friends or acquaintances who are honored who are invited to a wedding, and a point should always be stramed to make some sort of acknowledgment. Brilliant Opening Ball. ‘The opening ball of the Metropolitan club was amost brilliant affair, the at- tendance including not only the entire membership but many ouisiders. The grand march formed at 9:30 o'clock and dancing was kept up till dawn.

"o the Editor of the B Yesterday morning’s Republican contains an article headed “One M Opinton,” which is descrving of some attention from those interested in the construction of the “Omana, Nebraska & Dakota railroad.” The article,in ques tion purports to be an expression of the vrofound convietions of & “very promi- nenttraflic oflicial connected with one of the ralronds cente On although just why thi: tempt to conc v is made, is hard to conceive, inasmuch as in advoeating the desirability of having “the Union Pacific company back of them as an as- sistant,”’ he completely betr his con- neetion with that “'solid friend and main- y of Omaha,” v therefore justi- fied in crediting this powerful argument to a very prominent traflic official of the Union Pacific railwav company. It is just here to be remarked that a wonderful singularity of views is dis- coverable between this expression of “one man’s opinion’ and those an- nounced by P. C. Himebaugh, esq., in last Tuesday’s Herald, which may possi- bly be accotnted for on the generaily re- ceived maxim, that great minds often run in the same direetion without the in- tervention even of personal or immediate inte 1ge of ideas. The “very prominent, ete.,” betrays a most philanthropic eagerness to protect Omaha capitalists from the dire results sure to follow unless they offer them. selves willing victims to the Union Pacific _railway, but let me suggest the possibilities of "the aforesaid cabitalists being abundantly able to take care of their own interests in the future as well as in the past, and, that in building our road, they stend at least as good a chance of surviving the knifing process as does a corporation confessedly to-day at the mercy of the general government for its ability to protect itself. The promoters of our railroad are thoroughly alive to the requirements of the situation, and be- lieving its construction to be the most powerful argument to compel fair treat- ment from existing lines, as well as to fix permanantly the values ot Omaha real estate and "its further appreciation are looking rather to the attainment of such results t for immedi turns to their investment. It been held that the Union P the B, & M., or any other 1o i iing in their power to injure this is an entirely gratuitous assertion on the part of the *“very promi- nent” and one that no one knows better than himself has no foundation in fact. Rather has n suid that none of the roads in question exhibit the least d position to reliecye us from most un- righteous discriminations, although im- yortuned for months past to do so, and by this cavalier treatment of well grounded complaint have finally forced us to railroud construction a final remedy. May it not be possible that those ‘in charge of the new enterprise have already sought and found that powerful aid through whose assistanc it may solve the conundrum, *‘how will it take the Northwestern to them?’ Answer—a thousand years.
