THE WEEK 1IN SOCIETY. “Brave Knights and Fair Ladies” Feast and Dance. A VERY ROMANTIC MARRIAGE Children's Carnival — Home Circle Bocial-Brownwell Hal Party—The German Club— Balls, Marriages and Other Gossip. Euchre Society. The truly fashionable circle should be men and women who have done something, who are more than butterflies—men and women who, with modesty, piety, gentleness and noble purposes, have done their work, not noisily nor with parade, nor clamorous for recognition in society newspapers, but for the discipline and duty of performing it, and who have made the example of honest, innocent, wholesome living. This would embrace in its circle a good many more than those who are now adverjised as the salt and savor of Omaha sc ty, and to them the columns of the BeE: arc always open. Knights Templar Reception. ‘With the Knights Templar rests the secret of combining the grand and enjoyable. Tho reception of the Mount Cavalry commandery at Masonic hall on Thursday evening was without doubt the most bril liant and delight- ful gathering of the devotees of society dur- ing the season. Two or threo days had been spent in decorating the rooms alone, and the results of this labor was most enchanting. The lodge rooms and dining hall were tastily adorned with flowers and smilax, but the greatest piece of artistic work was the deco- ration of the dance hall. The upper half of the walls were completely hidden with large flags, while immediately below them were numerous banners bearing the mysterious insignia of the order. On the front of the hall two great flags were draped apart to ex- pose the huge painting of a mediacval castle, the knights' stronghold. The platform in front of this w completely covered with potted plants, 1n th corners of the room stood tents, inside of them a simple repast called the “pilgrims’ farcwell.” The magnificent banners of the order stood near these, one of them glitter. ing with costly diadems, Near the doc stood o knight's steed caparisoned and ready for battle. The long hallway leading from the dance room to the banquet hall was huni and canopied with flags, and was fitly dubbed the “lover's lane.” At thenortn end of this was a locomotive headlight, but the glare of it was subdued by placing tissue paper on the lass. At 0 o'clock the trumpet sounded and the knights in full uniform filed into the hall to the stirring strains of “Marching Through Georgin.”? Their evolutions were superb and were loudly applauded. Major Clarkson then delivered the welcom- ing address. Danciag followed, and the cle- gant dancing programmes were gems of taste and art, and will long be tr ured as beautiful souvenirs of o delightful occasion After the tripping of seven numbers the company mavehed 1o the dining hall at the south end of the building, where, amdgood fellowship and repartee, a splendid supper artaken of.
